AIF-Massachusetts<p>Sorry for the links to twitter, but this is a really comprehensive thread covering the disruption of a drag story hour in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Taunton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Taunton</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Massachusetts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Massachusetts</span></a> yesterday. </p><p><a href="https://nitter.net/i/status/1614439677666238464" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">nitter.net/i/status/1614439677</span><span class="invisible">666238464</span></a></p><p>Well worth a read if you're interested in digging into the activities of right wingers in Massachusetts and how they team up with neo-Nazis and other fascist groups to threaten and intimidate LGBTQ folks in Mass. </p><p>These monsters should have no place in our state. It's our job to drive them out and defeat them, and as the success of Fall River shows, it can be done.</p><p>Please join us, especially if you live in Taunton and want to make sure this doesn't happen again.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TauntonMA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TauntonMA</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DragStoryTime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DragStoryTime</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LGBTQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQ</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FuckNazis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FuckNazis</span></a></p>
AIF-Massachusetts<p>More on the story hour that was shut down by Nazis in Taunton, MA. </p><p>Shame on them. Intimidating parents and children at a story hour. </p><p>They'll try to pass it off as some kind of tactical victory that they were able to get into this story hour unopposed, but let's call it what it is: bullying. They went to Taunton because they knew that it was undefended and they like picking on people who are weaker than them.</p><p>Shame on the police as well for allowing these thugs to intimidate children in the library, which should be a safe space for all children.</p><p>Residents of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TauntonMA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TauntonMA</span></a> and members of the Southcoast LGBTQ+ Network, please know you CAN and SHOULD fight back against Neo-Nazis BEFORE they get in the library next time.</p>
AIF-Massachusetts<p>Gutted to learn that while we were protecting folks in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FallRiverMA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FallRiverMA</span></a>, fascists were attacking a drag story hour in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TauntonMA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TauntonMA</span></a>. </p><p>If you have more information on what occurred in Taunton, we'd love to hear more details and see any pictures folks were able to take of the fascists.</p><p>Unfortunately, fascists in Massachusetts do not announce where they will be ahead of time. They know that if they announce where they will be that resistance will be overwhelming. Instead, they show up unannounced and intimidate people who are not prepared for them.</p><p>The solution is for people everywhere to be prepared for them. If you live in Taunton, MA, and want to be ready for next time, let us know. We'd love to help.</p><p>You can do this. Every community can be like Fall River and fight back. Be strong and show the Nazis we won't tolerate them in our state.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FuckNazis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FuckNazis</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FuckNSC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FuckNSC</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Antifascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Antifascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Massachusetts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Massachusetts</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/NEAntifaAction/status/1614339336790773761?t=f_V5eHsNRibFOVp4PuMY-Q&amp;s=19" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">twitter.com/NEAntifaAction/sta</span><span class="invisible">tus/1614339336790773761?t=f_V5eHsNRibFOVp4PuMY-Q&amp;s=19</span></a></p>
