Audio book screen grab of Christopher Mathiasβ βTo Catch A Fascistβ
The audio book finally came up for me on Libby. Love to hear AFA researchers getting their due! @letsgomathias.bsky.social
"She frequently reported on stories critical of ICE for Nashville Noticias, the Spanish-language outlet."

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. Sheβs married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
Theyβve already sent her to Louisiana.
LIVE at 2pm ETβ @sjdemas.bsky.social sits down with author and journalist @letsgomathias.bsky.social to discuss his new book, To Catch a Fascist.
so much going on I just remembered our government kidnapped the president of Venezuela and he's just like, sitting in a federal detention center in Brooklyn

βNo front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.β www.columnblog.com/p/corporate-...
i have been to the emergency room for a dental abscess. it is a uniquely excruciating kind of pain. this man was tortured to death via medical neglect.
We updated our record of people immigration agents have killed or caused to die since Trump took office in January 2025.
As of today, agents have killed at least 28 people in the field and 48 people in custody.
I spoke with two ICE watchers who lost their Global Entry after brushes with federal agents. Now an internal memo shows Customs and Border Protection is evaluating cases where people's Global Entry could be revoked based on "encounters" with its officers.

Such a great event! Needed that in these dark times.
Tysm! This means a lot!
JUST IN: North Carolina's Dem lawmaker Carla Cunningham gave the GOP the decisive vote to pass a law forcing police to comply with ICE. She said "all cultures are not equal."
She just lost reelection BIG in the Dem primary to a progressive pastor & activist, Rodney Sadler. 70% to 22%!
Context:
had a great convo with @kuow.org's Soundside about antifa, fascism, the PNW, and my book, To Catch a Fascist.

Looking forward to getting into @letsgomathias.bsky.socialβs new book.
The Right has succeeded in making anti-fascism into a slur. Iβd like to see us fix that and make anti-fascism societyβs resting pulse baseline.
Yeah, not a great sign that they're just going to be experimenting on trans inmates like this and it's not a big story.
Excellent pairing!!! Tysm!
Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city β you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders.Β You will be safe here.
Hell yes ty Emma!
I am so picking this up
Whatβs always been so absurd about discourses surrounding political violence in America is that itβs accepted, understood, agreed upon, bipartisan, mainstream that our military gets to vaporize little kids half a world away without consequence
Iβm 62 years old, I live in Tampa, I eat corn and beef everyday, I always have a titleist hat on, and Iran is the biggest threat to my freedom
Tysm Rich!!!
I really enjoyed this conversation between @socialistdogmom.bsky.social and @letsgomathias.bsky.social about his book To Catch a Fascist, which covers people who have infiltrated far right groups to dox the members. The story about the guy who infiltrated Patriot Front is wild.
The book is out now.
