In moments like this, when the weight of the work bears down and the horizon feels impossibly distant, it helps to pause and look back. Not out of nostalgia, but to take stock of what we’ve built together. Because the truth is, we have already done more than most thought possible.
Since July, the lines have been clear: fascism is not some abstract threat waiting in the wings — it is here, and it is pressing down on every community in America. Against that reality, we made the choice not to despair, but to fight. And fight we have.
We launched EndFascism.xyz on July 4, 2025 — a blunt declaration that the work of resistance could no longer be postponed. That landing page, simple as it may be, has already anchored campaigns across multiple platforms, a rallying point for people who refuse to normalize authoritarianism.
From there, we didn’t stop.
- Books: Four titles published through Draft2Digital in a matter of weeks (How to Fight Fascism from 8,000 Miles Away, Unholy Nation, 50 Years in the Trenches, and the reissued works that had been buried). These aren’t trivia or vanity — they’re analysis, testimony, and organizing tools.
- Campaigns: Daily drops on Bluesky and other feeds — golden hour messaging, sick-out strike tactics, worker instruction, and calls to organize. Each post was a deliberate pulse, aimed to build rhythm, not chaos.
- Stories & Essays: From horror and satire to hard reporting on WPS.News and Op-eds that name what the mainstream refuses to, we kept both the imaginative and the analytical blades sharp. Occupy 2.5 supplies the bite; WPS.News supplies the credibility.
- Redundancy & Reach: Links cross-promote across everything: EndFascism.xyz, Occupy25, WTFM.lol, Books2Read. If one channel is cut or shadowbanned, the others carry the message. That is not accidental — it’s a deliberate attempt to be resilient.
We built a discipline of messaging: morning accountability posts, midday reality checks, evening tactical instructions. We placed ideas into the calendar — Autumn equinox threads, Cyber Monday blitzes, a Halloween surge — so resistance lands where people live their daily lives. We drafted guides, KYR handouts, sick-out how-tos, and a nonviolent rapid-response toolkit so action doesn’t depend on charisma alone.
We kept a journal: Notes from the FOB. It records the work and the cost — the burned laptop, the house renovations, the nights when sleep wouldn’t come, the small mercies like Princess at our feet. It’s not just the strategy; it’s the human ledger of what this fight takes.
All this connects. The books, posts, essays, and URLs form a network: redundancy that makes us harder to erase, clarity that makes the argument harder to gaslight away. That cumulative force is real. It matters. It has already changed the conversation, pushed people to read and to think, and given organizers tools they didn’t have before.
