From Act for freedom now
From France to Greece… the flame of social revolt is their nightmare!
On the evening of Thursday 6th July we attacked the French Consulate in Patras while it was being guarded by police forces. A group of comrades moved under the nose of the police guard, which was on the spot with a cage set up to prevent an attack on the consulate, and threw bottles of red paint at it. The police forces were right in front of the building and when we appeared we pushed them away; as a result they ran and “calmly” hid behind the cage, in the words of their president.
From It Could Happen Here
Andrew and Mia discuss how to bring anarchism into conviviality's often statist theorization and look at a few of the Convivialist Manifestos.
Police Officer In His Criminal Complaint Against Anarchists: “I Was Tripped Up By A Stranger And Then Kicked Two Or Three Times By Another…”
By Ana Horvat, Nova24TV

After a horde of anarchists from the Balkan Anarchist Book Fair destroyed private property and assaulted and beat several police officers last Saturday, one of the police officers filed a verbal criminal charge against the attackers. The police officer, who will not be named due to the protection of personal data, stated in his verbal criminal complaint that he had been harmed, and the verbal criminal complaint is, in fact, a proposal for prosecution.

a review of
Breaking the Alphabet by Sascha Engel. Ardent Press 2022
Critiques of language and its objectifying, alienating effects are older than history itself (history defined as the linear, language-based story of civilization). Those early incarnations still exist today in mystical and spiritual practices like no-mind meditation, ecstatic dance, and mantra.
From Unoffensive animal
The cops are not your friends! Cops are the guardians of the state, and their purpose is to protect property and perpetuate oppression. Therefore the cops will never be on the same side as radical movements, not with anarchists, nor with anyone who fights for the liberation of non-human animals. Some cops will still try to be friendly to you. Don’t go for it! At all times, the cops are trying to gather information, even if they are pretending to be helpful or “just having a chat”! Remember, the cops are your enemy. Therefore you shouldn’t talk to them!

Some might experience we live in dystopian times.
The last 3 years weird alliances made by hate and oppression have arised, and today a talk organized by the CNT Barcelona has showed how anarchomachos and internal hierarchies can’t exist in anarchist spaces.

From Ecotopia Biketour
July 11, 2023
This topic has been on the tip of my tongue since I took part in the Winter Meeting in December for Ecotopia 2023. I remember we were all sitting three days in a row on chairs around a big table, trying to go through as many topics as possible before the weekend was over. Somehow it felt so strange to see that during these days Ecotopia had become practically immobile: the people I had been cycling along with in the summer are now all stuck in a big room on a cold gray German winter day.
From Outside the Circle by Cindy Milstein
My longtime friend Stefan Christoff sat down with me on a park bench this past winter, both of us bundled in coats and scarves, to chat about anarchism. It wasn’t all that cold outside. Still, it was March in Montreal—meaning there is often a long way to go before one reaches the possibility of warmth, (re)emergence, and blossoming.
