    When the government shutdown started, they "disbanded". When the shutdown ended, they "reformed" or whatever.

      I remember hearing that but didnt see any evidence of it do you have their statement of disbanding and reopening or something like that saved anywhere?

        "The project has reached its conclusion" on 12/17. The shutdown was officially on 12/22 but people were bracing for it beforehand.

        As for when they reformed, I'm having a hard time finding that, because their "news service" has had, like, two or three different names from then to now. AFAIK they're technically not the red guards anymore, but they're still the fucking red guards.

          Yeah, I think tribuneofthepeople.com is their current name for their "news service".

            Anyways, their blogs are always so amusing to read, both because they talk of their "accomplishments" as if someone else did them, they just noticed (which is better opsec, 🤐 is best) and they try to tie their stuff into a greater global proletarian movement. So, it reads like:

            Brazil: Thousands of people rebel against the oppressive Bolsonaro regime.

            Chile: Masses stand up to undo the horrors of the Pinochet regime and its legacy

            Austin: Some people tag "Elections No! Revolutions Yes!" on the side of a bridge.

            Currently, yes.

            I was trying to find a statement of formation from after RGA dissolved. Which I think would be Incendiary News, but I'm not 100% certain.

              I don't think Incendiary ever published a refounding/re-formation notice. I did just pop over to it, and I'd forgotten how cringe-inducing their final article was.

                Yeah, I want to know what the infighting behind that was actually about.

                  Yep. You used to be able to read between the lines, because when every post is 2500+ words, there's a lot of lines to read between. But their posting had slowed down by then.

                    I hope it's because of the pig heads.
