Anyone know who this is? They’ve got a decent following
Avatar
I don't use tiktok, but I would take a look at who the account follows and look for a bunch with either the same last name, same pfp, kr similar bio (depending on how much time you wanna give this lol) then use your regular browser to keyword for things that might appear in their bio of their personal account (such as usmc vet, etc.)

@NordicThor_ Perhaps let @Braakinthesaddle know. He found another one using the name.

Already looked into this, AIF does not have an official TikTok, and the general consensus is that the data collection employed by TikTok is too much of a security risk to start one.

He makes lots of good points. I have a feeling that he records several at once, then edits and releases them, rather than running off to, I assume, his garage or shed or wherever to record multiple times a day.

Ahh, yeah no most of the fun stuff is run by the national organization. Local chapters tend to be more focused on local people stuff in the way a church is. The exact nature of that stuff may vary from group to group, but that's what you're getting into outside of a few very rare protests that line up with national level campaigns. I actually really recommend checking out your local mutual aid groups or ACLU chapter for that kind of networking. TST isn't actually a very direct action focused group, they're mostly about hilarious legal battles against stupid theist lawmakers. (edited)

Yea the local chapters function primarily as cultural community rather than a "let's mobilize" type thing. It comforts and provides help for those disenfranchised by theism and christofascists. The mobilization is more what groups like this are for, which is why I asked before just linking you guys. They're very different as an organization but value adjacent.

They’re gonna be apprehensive about recruitment and adding new members. They’re out and about and enough of a target for belligerent actors but I’d be surprised if contacting them about interest in joining would get you stonewalled. I’ve spoken with the former before and they’re super nice people. Some groups just aren’t recruiting in general for opsec reasons. Not sure if that’s them per se so reach out to em, see what’s up (edited)

Out of curiosity, have you spoken with Spinner yet? They're also in Colorado and do mutual aid, so I'm wondering how much overlap is between Spinner and Soup and Rifles. (Or if there's no overlap, how they can expand.) I've also got contacts in other states in case they want to network, including some SRAs and JBGCs. Virginia has been nicely zippering up multiple local chapters into a single body, too.

Has anyone here heard of the Sunrise Movement? I have recently discovered them and am wondering if they are at all effective. Social media can only say so much. There is a chapter at the college I will be attending and I am thinking about joining them if they are good.

I'm wondering the same about the Young Communist League. I would not be surprised if they had ties to CPUSA and other tankie organizations and wish to stay clear of such toxic spaces.

Sunrise Movement had been a post-floyd riots youth direct action group accountable to members democracy, inevitable issues of class. Pressuring the center, the Biden regime, to fucking manage this carbon. I heard little from them but liked what I’d heard.

Thank you. I’ll check them out and decide whether or not to join. I wasn’t certain if they were direct action or basic petition signing.

You’re welcome. I was wrong about the timeline on their 2013-2017 formation. Sorry.

@vitaminWee already described quite a bit, but I can give a bit more. Sunrise Movement is generally associated with environmental protests, but recently they've been branching out into other causes of interest, and are known for also supporting the Black Lives Matter movement, along with supporting not just a Green New Deal but also Medicare-for-All. Their main tactic is non-violent protests, usually aimed at pressuring politicians and local institutions to take action on climate change. Unlike groups like Extinction Rebellion though, I don't believe they're quite as cavalier when it comes to getting members arrested in protest actions, which is good if you're not looking to regularly be in jail. Their ideological background can best be described as environmentalist progressives. Expect them to have a lot of social-democratic and Bernie Sanders style talking points, as that is where they get a lot of their inspirations. There likely are people associated with the group who are either more moderate or more radical, as there are in any organization, but that should be the main tendency in the organization. As for how effective they are, I guess the short answer is that they are as effective as any of the other environmental protest groups are. Establishment politicians don't really like listening to them, so it can often seem like their protests are falling on deaf ears and they aren't accomplishing much, but at least they're doing something. If regular environmental protests are your thing, then they're definitely worth looking into. (edited)

Always better to be proactive just in case. Letting the area know to be prepared for them in case they show up and won't be caught off guard
