Today, groups of people with communist leanings who intend to overthrow the United States government will be meeting in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Austin for "regional conferences," which makes it sound like they're a bunch of dentists of something.

But they're not. The group, called Refuse Fascism, plans to use any means necessary to end the Trump-Pence "regime." They flatly refuse to try and find middle ground, criticizing both Barack Obama and Bernie Sanders for doing so:

After the election, Obama said of Trump: "We are now all rooting for his success." NO! If Trump succeeds, humanity loses. Bernie Sanders has said that he will work with Trump on jobs or where they agree.  NO! If you work with fascists you normalize the road to horror. (source)

I'm not sure how a bunch of communists "refusing fascism" escapes them, but somehow it does. There are branches of Refuse Fascism in numerous locations across the nation.

Who's funding this?

Refuse Fascism is a project of the Alliance for Global Justice. This is noted on their website where they ask for donations. (Obviously, I'm not recommending you donate. I'm just quoting this to show you where their bread gets buttered.)
