As its national influence has risen, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) has simultaneously grown more extreme. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the group’s “Red Rabbits” initiative.
The Red Rabbits Security Commission, a subgroup within the DSA focused on “community defense” efforts, is, according to its authorizing resolution, preparing for a “national uprising against federal agents and police brutality.”
In practice, that means training cadres in tactics like armed and unarmed self-defense, blocking intersections, and fighting “fascists” with umbrellas.
A recent panel offered an unprecedented window into what the project looks like. Organizers from Minnesota, Oklahoma City, Philadelphia, Tucson, Austin, and Portland compared notes.
As the discussion made clear, the DSA is trying to construct a nationwide security apparatus to support its expanding role in street protests and direct-action organizing. And in so doing, it fears drawing the attention of the Internal Revenue Service — likely with good reason.
Safe name
The DSA launched the Red Rabbits Security Commission at its 2025 national convention.
Organizers chose the deliberately innocuous name as a nod to the novel “Watership Down,” in which anthropomorphized rabbits are outnumbered and beset by enemies. Earlier branding proposals, including “National Vigilance Committee,” were deemed too politically stark, with some members concerned that they could be interpreted as an endorsement of vigilantism.
The Red Rabbits claim their focus is on five core security skills: de-escalation, Stop the Bleed (a first aid training on bleeding control), firearm safety, unarmed self-defense and protest marshaling (crowd management during demonstrations). The commission has set a goal of having at least five members in 40% of DSA chapters complete these trainings.

These maggots/useless eaters will now have a purpose in life to interfere with ICE agents. Video and block them.
Check
It is hilarious that you think that would help.
It’s astonishing that you think it wouldn’t. You said “help”, not “solve.”
I prefer the application of the GE M134 Gatling gun. Permanent and demonstrative solutions are always highly superior to the temporary and enraging affects of a stupid water cannon. I bet that is significantly improved communication.

“fighting “fascists” with umbrellas.”
Are their umbrellas able to defeat 12 gauge 3”mag 00 buckshot?
If not, they will regret it.
The only good Commie is a dead Commie.
FA FO, Rabits.
“...are preparing for a ‘national uprising against federal agents and police brutality...’ ”
...using brutality!
I hate these people with the white-hot intensity of a THOUSAND Suns!
P.S. Is everyone going to wear a red knitted Red Rabbit cap with ears? Target-rich environment. *SMIRK*
(And they’re DUMB enough to do this!)
