On July 4, 1998, best friends Lin "Spit" Newborn, 24, a Black skinhead, and Daniel Shersty, 20, a white US air force serviceman, both members of Anti-Racist Action (ARA), were murdered in the desert outside Las Vegas by a gang of white supremacists.

​

Newborn's friend, PJ Pérez, described him as "a madman. A poet. A motherfucker whose good side you'd want to stay on. He was a father, a son, a passionate and dedicated fighter for what's right." Shersty was born to a working class family in Florida, and joined the Air Force in order to fund college which his parents could not afford.

The pair, both amateur musicians, met in Las Vegas, became fast friends and helped co-found the local chapter of militant anti-fascist group ARA. ARA took the fight to neo-Nazis who were recruiting in the local skinhead scene and attacking Black and Latino schoolchildren as well as white "race traitors".

One neo-Nazi was swiftly jailed for the murders, and others were convicted in 2012. ARA continued their fight against white supremacists across the US, and helped disrupt many of their activities, and successfully drove them from many local youth subcultures.

The REAL 4th of July 2026, in San Diego and America!

We have someone who flies American flags on the utility poles along our street on some holidays. Today, I struck the one on the pole outside our house and repositioned it upside down, which is the international sign of distress. This is exactly what Samuel Alito, the Supreme Court Justice, did when Biden was elected.

There is nothing more alarming than having a sadistic, narcissistic, psychopathic, war criminal, fascist, and kleptocrat as president of the United States.

It's shocking anyone would have voted for this person and more shocking anyone would still support him. This is the new 'IQ Test': if you support him, you have failed.

Those that allow a foreign country to conduct false flag attacks on their own citizens who they ask to send their sons & daughters to the military are either incompetent or compromised . You don’t piss where you eat. Truth Will Out

Our Congressman, when asked about other amputees in war zones.

He's really trying to provoke the guy filming into assaulting him. "Do something about it." Then celebrating about an event that, yes killed terrorists, but also killed and maimed civilians, including children. Is this who we really want representing us? Let's not forget that he also wore an Isreali uniform into the halls of Congress.

Truth Will Out. Epstein compromised AIPAC admin REVEALED. Can’t make this sht up. How did the CIA & FBI not know that a foreign gov was targeting AMERICAN officials and figures with a honey pot operation on US soil ? But it is antisemitic if you ask such a question.

Mail call experiences?

Hey all, I'm writing an anti-war novel focusing on mail call during boot camp, as well as during active war.

I've never served in the military (not a fan of imperialism), so my knowledge on this is fairly limited. I wanted to know if any of you would be willing to help fill in the gaps. What is mail call like? What does mail typically consist of? Do tensions ever flare when a squad member doesn't get mail? How can letters from home (or lack thereof) affect morale, mindsets, radicalization, etc. of soldiers? Any other little details that don't make it into movie adaptations?

I want to show how crucial a role mail call plays, offering a brief solace in the middle of seemingly never-ending hell. I want to show something real, that doesn't act as propaganda for the military industrial complex or capitalist imperialism, whilst being as accurate and respectful to those that served as possible. Even those that still have the wool pulled over their eyes.

Thanks.

Why do left wingers have a hard time believing there is a surge of people who want to join the military under Trump?

Like I literally talked to an army recruiter this year, and they literally said “sorry, we’re full”. The military no longer has a recruiting shortage. Like it or not, numbers are going up

What kind of AI generated garbage is this.

Saw this image posted and had to see what shirts they were putting it on…. Found it…
I get the point they are trying to get across, 100%, but will everyone? Or will some people who have no idea about benefit cuts or the shit vets are dealing with see this as “yeah! They do need to honor their contracts!” And this whole thing backfires. Veterans need real advocacy and not trashy shirts.
Someone literally sat there and asked chat to make them an image of a firing squad aimed at disabled vets and thought it was a good idea to sell on t-shirts and that blows my mind lol.
To me this looks like something that you’d find from a random Etsy shirt seller, and not a national veterans organization.
