From Nasha Niva
I listen to a podcast by American anarchists. And the anarchist movement has always positioned itself as international, transnational. And so a girl in the podcast says: we don't recognize Bakunin and Kropotkin and are not going to read them because they are white men. I listen and understand: she calls herself an anarchist, I call myself an anarchist, but for me, what she says is absolute savagery.

On Sunday, the 26st of April 2026, the participants of the Meeting of the International Anarchist and Anti-authoritarian Radio Network that took place in Athens did a 7 hours live radio broadcast!

On May 12th and 2nd of June another „Tag X“ demonstration- trial against an anarchist comrade will take place at Amtsgericht Leipzig. The state attorney is accusing him of serious breach of peace, physical and aggravated assault of police officers in 18 cases and destruction of work equipment. This is not an isolated case, the upcoming trial is part of a collective accusation against several people. with a total of 1500 opened investigations on the whole weekend, 100 people having charges and another 100 still having open investigation.
From June 11
In Eloxochitlán de Flores Magón, deep in the Sierra Mazatec mountains, there is no forgetting and there is no surrender. There is memory, rage, and a community that doesn’t ask for permission to exist. In the face of a system of “justice” that seeks to destroy the community, the response has been resistance and solidarity, weaving the pathway of freedom.
My dear friends,
I’ve lost count of how many letters failed before this one finally made it out. There are barely any writing supplies in here, and when there are, they never last long. Even now, as I write this, I’m still being kept in quarantine. I don’t know for how much longer. Though honestly, I don’t expect anything from being moved to another block. To me, it’s all the same. The only thing I truly want, the only thing I keep hoping for, is FREEDOM. I want to go home. I want to eat my mother’s cooking again. I want to sit with my family.

Sharing my thoughts on the subject of individualist and social anarchism.
from Mother Jones by Sophie Hurwitz
The White House will prioritize the “neutralization” of groups it considers “anti-American, radically pro-transgender, and anarchist.”
On Wednesday, the White House released a new “United States Counterterrorism Strategy,” the first such directive since a 2021 Biden-era memo emphasizing the need to combat white supremacist violence, which has now been scrubbed from the White House website.
From Dark Nights - Indonesia

I think the best place to start this piece is with a simple declaration: I never knew David Graeber while he was alive. Like most people, I knew of him and, also like many people, had been introduced to a lot of his work around the time that the media kept dragging him in to say something during the Occupy movement.

Eleven years ago, on April 28, 2015, the police launched a crackdown known as Operation Phoenix (Fénix). As a result, I later decided to go into hiding—that is, to live underground. The following text serves both as a memoir of that period and as a critical reflection on it.

From The Transmetropolitan Review
Between the years 1909 and 1912, a French anarchist named Aristide Pratelle wrote several dispatches on the Mexican Revolution for Les Temps Nouveaux, the main anarchist newspaper in France. Aristide was a steadfast supporter of the Mexican Revolution, even when some of his French comrades began to criticize it along with the Italian anarchists, and he never abandoned his solidarity with the Mexican Liberal Party, or PLM, a front group for the Mexican anarchists.

Thirty years after his death, his emphasis on class struggle remains – whilst the ‘anarcho-liberals’ have disappeared
From Hard Crackers by Jarrod Shanahan
Eric King spent almost ten years as a federal prisoner. King was arrested in 2014 for an attempted arson conducted in Kansas City in solidarity with the people of Ferguson, Missouri following the police murder of the teen-age Mike Brown. King’s actions caused little damage — the molotov cocktails failed at their task — and harmed nobody. But King’s unrepentant anarchist politics, and attendant recalcitrance in the face of his captors, led to his incarceration at ADX Florence, the so-called “Alcatraz of the Rockies” and the last stop for the supposed “worst of the worst” in the federal prison system.
