Antifa’s ‘Iron Front’ symbol banned by Major League Soccer’s Portland Timbers and Seattle Sounders​


With another confrontation between supporters of Antifa and the Proud Boys expected on the streets of Portland, Ore., next weekend, two pro soccer teams in the Pacific Northwest are trying to help keep the focus on the game instead of politics at their home matches.

According to the Associated Press, Major League Soccer’s Portland Timbers and Seattle Sounders have each banned the “Iron Front” symbol used by Antifa supporters from being displayed by fans inside the teams’ stadiums.

MLS president and deputy commissioner Mark Abbott explained the reasoning behind the league’s action.

Bella Ciao has a video game connection too:





The Far Cry games, due to the history of their development, do not have any significant shared narrative elements, but instead share a theme of placing the player in a wilderness environment where they must fight against one or more despots that control the region as well as survive against wild animals that roam the open spaces. The Far Cry games feature a single-player campaign with later titles also offering co-operative campaign support. The games also offer competitive multiplayer options and the ability for users to edit the games' maps for these matches. The Far Cry games have generally been well received, with praise for their open world gameplay and antagonists, but criticism for their lack of innovation, and are considered commercial successes.

Someone posted that Bella Ciao is also a TikTok thing. I have no idea.

On February 4, 2025, U.S. Representative LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) stated "we are at war!" at a protest outside the Treasury Department. This was in response to President Trump's second administration granting one of his donors access to the department's payment system. McIver's remarks drew condemnation from conservative groups and the White House, who described it as an "incendiary call to violence".

The former Attorney General stated, "What's driving Democrats is, I think, a legitimate response. I mean, it's like the Germans have invaded France... we have to take up arms" against anti-democratic efforts.


You can also add on the constant rhetoric from Democrats, including Kamala Harris (Trump is a threat to our democracy and fundamental freedoms.') that resulted in multiple assassination attempts.

Biden saying 'It's time to put Trump in a bullseye.'

Democratic lawmaker Stacey Plaskett accidentally says Trump ‘needs to be shot’ in slip-up on live TV​


I could spend more of my time finding many more, but I don't think that is necessary.

Tactics and Targets​

Antifa supporters conduct counter-protests to disrupt far-right gatherings and rallies. They sometimes organize in black blocs—ad hoc gatherings of individuals who wear black clothing, ski masks, scarves, sunglasses, and other material to conceal their faces—use improvised explosives and other homemade weapons, and resort to vandalism. In addition, Antifa members organize their activities through social media, encrypted peer-to-peer networks, and encrypted messaging services such as Signal.

Antifa has also adopted anti-fascist symbols on their clothing, flags, and other paraphernalia, such as the two flags of the Antifaschistische Aktion and the three arrows of the Iron Front.

so looking at that mug shot, I am certain he is not transgender. We will need more info to see whether he is BLM, Antifa, LGBTQ, atheist, Hamas, or a supporter of AOC.

Might be antifa, because of the writings on the bullet casings, including 'bella ciao.'

So you spent all of that time coming up with a grand total of zero examples of Biden inciting violence. Just as I thought.

As someone else said, you reap what you sow. When the right, starting with the leader of the GOP, openly encourages political violence, they lose the right to play the victim.
 
"Bella Ciao" is an anti-fascist anthem that originated from an Italian 19th-century protest folk song and was adapted by Italian partisans during the WWII resistance against Nazi and Fascist forces. The song became the unofficial anthem of the anti-fascist resistance and is sung annually on Italy's Liberation Day. Today, it's a global symbol for freedom and resistance, used by various anti-government and anti-authoritarian movements worldwide.

Maybe he's a Trump-supporting anti-fascist. Seems contradictory, but you know, 'kids these days!'
 
Sounds more and more like to me he just felt Kirk was a bad person and didn't want him to be able to keep spreading his message of hate.
