Hi there. My name is Kiah. This blog has no set theme, just what I find to be funny or meaningful. So, look around, follow me, whatever :) ^PS that's my dog, Stormy, isn't he a babe?!!
In light of the great Nazi punching meme going around right now, I want to remind everyone that the people who were filmed socking Richard Spencer were members of AntiFa or another organization aligned with AntiFa. They were dressed the way they were to obscure their identity and were trained, prepared, etc. to risk and face arrest, pepper spray, violent police force etc. They weren’t just any random person.
We all should want to rearrange a Nazi face but please remember that AntiFa resistance is trained to take these actions while protecting themselves and others from law enforcement. The best thing many of us can do is to support and assist these people: by not identifying them, by not implicating them, by covering their movements and not putting ourselves or others at-risk while they are working.
Punch a Nazi today, but recognize that AntiFa and aligned organizations might fight for everybody but they don’t go into these situations as everypeople. A clear understanding of their actions, goals, and the risks of their work is paramount to their safety and success.

They’re breaking news about congress taking steps to defund Planned Parenthood and end with a call to action.
You can follow them at @PPact on twitter to catch their live developments of what is happening as this unfolds.
