Confronting Fascism in the Age of Trump
Keystone United Member Timothy Wylie Arrested For Various Gun-Related Charges
from Philly Antifa
Keystone United, also known as The Keystone State “Skinheads, suffered another setback to their attempts to rehabilitate their image last month when one of their Harrisburg members, Tim Wylie, was arrested in nearby Steelton for several charges, including possessing a firearm as a felon.
From the link:
“On 11-25-16 the Steelton Police conducted a traffic stop in the 200 block of South 3rd Street. The driver identified as Timothy Wylie was arrested on outstanding warrants and was found in possession of a semi automatic handgun with the serial number removed. (emphasis added) He was arrested and transported to the Dauphin County Judicial Center for processing and arraignment.”
Wylie is a proud KU/KSS member who was spotted at their Yule Party this year, hanging around the fringes of the Antifa demo in Harrisburg to counter the NSM last month, and a KU anti-refugee rally at the state capitol last year.
Meet Jonny Riches, Alt-Right Troll Harassing Ghostship Survivors
From Philly Antifa
It has come to Philly Antifa’s attention that a well known alt-right troll has set up a fake facebook page for family and friends of the Ghostship fire victims. Jonny Riches is best known for constantly making frivolous lawsuits against celebrities, attending famous legal trials, and crashing left-wing demonstrations. He is known to doxx anyone who calls out his frauds online and gives out their information to his nazi friends, who relentlessly harass and threaten them; specifically, marginalized people – women, queer folk, and poc. People have been soliciting donations on the page as well, no doubt taking funds away from Ghostship victims.

His wife, Naomi Riches, is no better. She joins him in his attempts to out and harm people. They share a fascination with murderers and celebrate people like James Holms, the Colorado theater shooter.
This is him at a recent Anti-Trump rally in Philadelphia, wearing a Guy Fawkes mask and green wig. He likes to attend demonstrations for the explicit reason of identifying, mocking, or delegitimizing movements. He also attends pro-cop rallies unmasked.
In all reality, this guy has been flying under our radar for too long and using that to exact racist, sexist, oppressive cruelty. This is a group he’s been using to phish people. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1237753412951890/
He lives at
1306 Ashbridge Drive
West Chester, PA
Owned by his parents, but he has claimed residence there. He has made claims he’s going to be moving to Florida in a year.

Short Video About Micetrap Distributions – Spread Wide
from Philly Antifa
Our regular readers are probably well aware of Steven Wiegand and his company Micetrap Distributions. However, many people living in Wiegand’s town of Cherry Hill are still totally unaware that he has been peddling Neo-Nazi merchandise there for over 20 years.
So it is our intention to change that and create an environment in Cherry Hill so inhospitable to Micetrap that Mr. Wiegand will be forced to either close up shop or relocate somewhere far away. Like the fucking moon.

Yo, Northeast Nazis: STFU!
from Philly Antifa
On learning of recent racist activity around the city, Philadelphia Antifa decided it was about time to make some visits.
Keystone United (aka KSS/Keystone State Skinheads/complete fucking garbage) are a pack of backwards racist boneheads that have not just a bullshit nonsense ‘ideology’, but also a string of misery wherever they go. Murderers, rapists, abusers, that’s who Keystone United is. They want new blood, and they’ve been out on Philly’s streets, advertising.
Crews of Philly Antifa responded in kind. We thought we should hit up Joey Phy’s (of 4383 Salmon St.) hood to let his neighbors know they have a Nazi in their midst. Not only should people know when they live next to a toxic dump of a ‘person’, we also want them to know that we are there, and are watching out for them. Joey Phy should not be comfortable spreading his propaganda, or walking the fucking street for that matter.
We also went back up to the northeast, where lots of KSS stickers were removed and destroyed recently. We blanketed that area too, covering up nazi symbols and messages with our own. Our friends at La horde (http://lahorde.samizdat.net/) will be happy to see their anti-fascist imagery put to use in silencing Keystone. Greedy gentrifier advertising was also disposed of; their community shattering tactics and property grabs dismantle deep and powerful neighborhood bonds that are the lifeblood of this city. Where they tried to take space for their messages, we took space back and stomped out their words.
When the Nazis try to crawl out of their holes, Philadelphia Antifa will be there, to bury them.

Announcing Philly Autonomous Anti-Repression Fund
Submission
https://phlautonomousantirepression.wordpress.com/
In today’s increasingly dark political climate, it is more important than ever to directly support people taking risks and going on the offensive against the misery of everyday life, whether as part of a broader political strategy or for reasons of everyday survival and self-defense. The PHL Autonomous Anti-Repression Fund aims to offer a safety net for people in Philadelphia who are limited in their ability to act because they lack resources for bail and other fees if something goes wrong.
This anti-repression fund is part of a broader project of building informal networks of care and resistance outside of non-profits and other organizations, which all too often have their own constraints about what they can and can’t support. We aim to support people and activities that are criminalized by the state while also unsupported by formal activist organizations and the mainstream public. The actions we support will not necessarily be planned, “political,” or contain a palatable message.
All donations to the anti-repression fund will go directly towards paying bail, bond, legal and/or medical fees following arrest. Your contributions will encourage and embolden people to do what they need to do to try to get free, knowing that other people have their back.
Please donate if you can, and spread the word!!
Donate directly via paypal: phlbailfund@riseup.net

Nonviolence Ain’t What It Used To Be
from Facebook
A talk and discussion with AK Press author Shon Meckfessel
US social movements face many challenges. One of their most troublesome involves the question of nonviolence. Civil disobedience and symbolic protest have characterized many struggles in the US since the Civil Rights era, but conditions have changed. Corporate media has consolidated, the police have militarized, dissent has been largely co-opted and institutionalized, but the strategic tools radicals employ haven’t necessarily kept pace. Our narratives, borrowed from movements of the past, are falling short.
Nonviolence Ain’t What It Used to Be maps emerging, more militant approaches that are developing to fill the gap, from Occupy to Black Lives Matter. It offers new angles on a seemingly intractable debate, introducing ideas that carve out a larger middle-ground between camps in order to chart an effective path forward.
