May Day Black Blocs and a Car Bombing

From CrimethInc.

Spring comes to Portland, Oregon

On May Day, anarchists in Portland participated in two black blocs, adding a confrontational edge to public protests. As anger against the economy and the government spreads alongside desperation and despair, it’s up to us to create opportunities for collective action.

Wild Roving

From Birds Before the Storm by Margaret Killjoy

Last night I stayed up past my bedtime (yes, I have a bedtime. I am in my 40s. I wish I stuck to it more.) watching A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. I haven’t finished it yet, and I have no intention of spoiling it for you, but the protagonist of this show is a hedge knight. A homeless man with a sword and a horse and scarcely a copper to his name.

Against Antisemitism: a review of Jewish Anarchist Voices

My copy of Jewish Anarchist Voices arrived at my door the day after the Golders Green antisemitic attack; an incident that has followed from several others across the UK. It is a short pocket book containing 3 “accounts”, 2 anonymously published pieces and Fredy Perlman’s well known piece Anti-Semitism and the Beirut Pogrom, which I drew from in my first Against Antisemitism essay.

From Act for Freedom Now! - Chile, 29th March 2026

An attack against desperation, against the convenience of obedience, which is always the easier road compared to the uncertainty of rebellion.

‘The Mexican Question’ in the Cronaca Sovversiva

From The Transmetropolitan Review

The involvement of Italian anarchists in the Mexican Revolution of 1910 is a moment in history that remains obscure not just to contemporary anarchists, but also to academic historians. Beyond this, the actual history of the Mexican Revolution is insanely complex and refuses to fit neatly inside any ideological boxes, including anarchist ones.

Facets of Mayday

From Industrial Worker May Day has layers of meaning—some celebratory, others tragic—shaped across centuries. From its origins as a festival of spring and renewal, to its modern incarnation as International Workers’ Day, May Day reflects the aspirations and struggles of generations. It is a celebration of life beyond labor: time for ourselves, for our friends and families, for leisure, for imagination. It is both a remembrance and a call to action.
