Catalonia. On Monday morning cops raided the Nabat squat in Mataró, 30 kilometres (19 miles) north-east of Barcelona. A squat in Canet de Mar was also raided. What follows is a communiqué on 8 arrested anarchist comrades from Nabat (Mataró) and a statement by El Lokal.

Anarchists claimed responsibility for a Molotov attack on a police post in Palembang, Indonesia on February 25 in solidarity with anarchist prisoners.
This is their statement:
via Enough is enough!, originally published by Green Anticapitalist Front and Autonomies
The Green Anticapitalist Front translated an statement published by the Federación Anarquista Gran Canaria (Gran Canaria Anarquist Federation) where they detail the political persecution of their member Ruymán Rodríguez, who is facing false charges to cover up the brutal violence they inflicted upon him as part of a ploy to repress the radical housing movement in Gran Canaria. The FAGC he’s part of has been involved in a very successful social movement for housing in Gran Canaria and has helped hundreds of families left abandoned by the state. Like any other threat to its legitimacy, the state couldn’t allow this to continue unchallenged.

Telework, digital cage… boom!
Obedience, brainwashing… boom!
Screens, chips, tracking… boom!
Smartphone, smart home, smart city… boom!
Green technologies, grey lives… boom!
Military industry, energy industry, industry at large… boom!
Always connected, always more stupid… boom!
A small contribution that the State and its journalists were kind enough to pass over in silence.
The Terror of Adolescence
https://freedomnews.org.uk/the-terror-of-adolescence/
It’s the old coming of age story.
You go to school, you study, you make friends. You open your text books. You realise you are only learning what the state wants you to know. You rage against your teachers, your headmaster and your school. You laugh in the face of society, state and authority.
An anarchist history of upland Southeast Asia, by James C. Scott. The compelling story of disparate Asian peoples residing in Zomia -- a mountainous region the size of Europe that consists of portions of seven countries -- who until recently have stemmed the vast tide of state-making to live at arm's length from any organized state society. (from the cover)
An Ardent Press favorite by one of the authors of Nihilist Communism, this book questions the structure of revolutionary organizations, with its three dozen short apolitical pieces. Selecting for the podcast was made easier by a listener suggestion to record "Oh Mama, What Is It? The Left Wing of the State?"
From The Intercept
On the day of President Joe Biden’s inauguration, dozens of protesters in Portland, Oregon, marched to the state Democratic Party’s headquarters, carrying signs against police and the incoming administration. “We don’t want Biden, we want revenge,” one of them read, “for police murders, imperialist wars, and fascist massacres.” A few protesters, dressed all in black and with their faces covered, smashed windows, scrawled graffiti, and set a trash canister on fire.

An attack against the Moschato - Tavros Town Hall in Athens, Greece, took place on 2 March 2021.
Moshato is the area of Athens where the headquarters of the right wing governing party "New Democracy" are located.
A claim of responsibility was assumed by anarchists, in solidarity with Dimitris Koufodinas, who has been on a hunger strike since the 8th of January 2021.
