Tweet from Defend the Atlanta Forest @defendATLforest (15 November 2023):

The most important story of the #BlockCopCity action is not the police aggression, which was expected.

It is the methods and tactics used by protesters to keep one another safe, effectively preventing any arrests or injuries. Let's take a closer look. 🧵

[Embedded image is a photo of a formation of protesters wearing dark clothes and face coverings and head protection, either black knit hats or helmets with protective goggles. Some wear white protective coveralls. Some carry black umbrellas. Two long horizontal banners of white fabric stretched across PVC pipe frames are collectively carried across the formation on diagonals leading to a central vertex. Black text reads, in all caps: "We are the people's stop work order" and "Block Cop City." These framed banners are tall enough to cover the people carrying them from shin to shoulder. At the center point between the two banners, one person carries a square board like a shield, painted black with "Black Lives Matter" spray painted on it in white in all caps.]
Tweet continuing thread from Defend the Atlanta Forest @defendATLforest:

Clothing: many protesters wore matching white coveralls. Many others wore muted or neutral colors. By blending in with one another, activists make it more difficult for police to target vulnerable people in the crowd.
[A photo of a group of protesters wearing white coveralls as well as other PPE including face masks and gloves. Many carry flags or banners on poles.]
Tweet continuing thread from Defend the Atlanta Forest @defendATLforest:

Reinforced banners/umbrellas: Using structured signage and lightweight umbrellas, protesters were able to withstand police charges, batons, pepper balls, rubber bullets, flashbang grenades, and mace.
[A photo of group of protesters and a line of cops pushing against each other, the cops in black riot gear using clear riot shields and the protesters using the frame of their "Defend the Forest - Defund the Police" banner as a long makeshift shield. Some of the fabric of the banner is torn off from the frame, but the PVC frame itself is intact. Protesters behind the front line are carrying large black umbrellas.]
Tweet continuing thread from Defend the Atlanta Forest @defendATLforest:

Glasses/masks/respirators: aside from concealing the identities of vulnerable activists from hate groups and other opponents of emancipation struggles, these defensive tools allowed protesters to withstand pepper spray and tear gas.
[A photo of a group of protestors wearing protective gear including coveralls, glasses, face shields, masks, respirators, black umbrellas. Two protestors at the front of the line carry square wooden panels painted black with "Black Lives Matter" and "Fuck The Police." Along the side of the group, many protesters collectively carry a horizontal banner of white fabric stretched across a PVC frame, but the text is not readable from the angle the image is taken]
Tweet continuing thread from Defend the Atlanta Forest @defendATLforest:

Formation: the front of the crowd marched in a V-shaped "wedge", allowing the crowd to advance through obstructive lines of militarized police without causing or incurring any injuries or bodily harm.
[A photo taken from behind two cops in all black, one carrying a plastic riot shield. In front of them, a V-shaped wedge formation approaches, holding two long horizontal banners in front of themselves to form each arm of the V. The banners read "Defend the Forest - Defund the Police" and "[We] are the [People's] Stop Work Order" in all caps.]
Tweet continuing thread from Defend the Atlanta Forest @defendATLforest:

Heat-resistant gloves: by wearing gloves, some participants were able to pick up tear gas canisters shot at the crowd and to throw them out of the way, minimizing harm and suffering. Such canisters tend to be hot enough to burn the skin.
[GIF of a tear gas canister being tossed from inside a large cloud of smoke, in a large arc back out toward a group of police in khaki militarized tactical gear.]
Tweet continuing thread from Defend the Atlanta Forest @defendATLforest:

Confidence: the most important tool for crowds facing state repression is their ability to inspire and motivate themselves through joint action, clarity of purpose, respect for differences, and clear metrics for success/failure. "Don't panic, stay tight. We will be all right!"
[A photo of a group of protesters standing at the edge of a forested area. They are mostly blocked from sight behind two large horizontal banners held in a V formation reading "Defend the Forest - Defund the Police" and "We are the People's Stop Work Order" in all caps. The protesters are carrying many large black umbrellas above the group as well as some colorful flags/banners on poles]
Tweet continuing thread from Defend the Atlanta Forest @defendATLforest:

Unpredictability: by using creative messaging, methods, pacing, and routes, activists were able to spread police resources thin. Police were not prepared for the continuous momentum of the march and ended up teargassing themselves.
[GIF panning from a large cloud of tear gas, inside which silhouettes of many people are visible, to a crowd of police in full militarized tactical gear, carrying either clear plastic riot shields or automatic weapons, retreating away from the cloud. As they retreat, one of them calls out a warning about the gas and yells for them to "turn around"]
Tweet continuing thread from Defend the Atlanta Forest @defendATLforest:

In the coming years, liberation struggles will have to draw from experiences + intelligence of protest movements + uprisings around the world. In Atlanta, activists would do well to assume the illegal intent of the administration and to prepare accordingly. #StopCopCity

*grabbing young queer people by the shoulders* listen to me. radical feminism is inherently transphobic. you cannot rehabilitate it or reclaim it or make it trans inclusive, I don't care what the people on twitter who claim to be authorities on queerness say. the foundation of radical feminism is nothing but bio and gender essentialism and biphobia and aphobia and anti-kink rhetoric and intersexism and yes, misogyny. it does not offer a future, not for bi people, aroace people, sex workers, not for kinksters, or intersex people, cis women, or trans people regardless of gender and you should care about those people. it will never result in queer liberation because it is an ideology of exclusion and hatred. you gain nothing by buying into the idea that half the population is evil by birth or by transition. you gain nothing by acting like women are perpetual victims who can't think for themselves and are tainted by their association with men. being a man or being attracted to them is not a sin. if we truly want to stand a chance of dismantling the patriarchy we actually NEED men on our side especially marginalized men. they are our allies.

the problem with terfs is not just transphobia, it never was, the radical feminism is also so unbelievably harmful. you cannot save it and it will not save you, stop drawing lines between queer people and join hands with them instead. remove people who are actually harmful, not innocent people who happen to have the wrong sexuality or gender or job. we get there together or we don't get there at all. we need each other now more than ever. do not listen to those who seek to divide us even if they are queer. we all deserve so much better than the hell radical feminism pretends is a liberated future.

I do not blame anyone who fell prey to this rhetoric, I know it feels good to have a common enemy and lash out at those you think are siding with them however they do it, but men, especially marginalized men, are not your enemies. and it's never too late to realize that and change for the better.

the most depressing part is that it's not even kamala's stance on genocide that is costing her the elections. i wish it were. it's people genuinely shifting for trump. but it's the pro-palestine movement that's going to get the blame for it.
