IMPORTANT!!!

I’ve only seen like one person talk about this and it’s super important that this gets out there

Multiple punk symbols and sayings have been added to the FBI’s domestic terrorism guide

Things included are

Those are a few but it also mentions anything anti-fascist and anti capitalist

So if you live in the US please be careful

Oh my god thank you for telling me!

@safety-pin-punk idk if you’ve seen this yet but tagging you in case u haven’t

Hey what the fuck

NAZIS GO HOME IS A SYMBOL OF DOMESTIC TERRORISM????

All the people being like “oh the FBI showing their true colors” what fucking universe did you live in where the goddamn FBI wasn’t a tool of oppression. The FBI exists because Theodore Roosevelt decided all of the federal government’s existing anti-anarchist programs and task forces should be consolidated under one banner.

While it is tempting to categorize Zuko as an emo, careful analysis reveals that he is actually a punk. While his constant angst is a symptom of an emo like nature, his lust for justice/ honor, his angry outbursts, and his teenage rebellion are far more in line with the subculture of punk. In my response, I will address th
