Get Noah Comrade Kado Coffin Out on Parole Sooner

Kado is in the texas GIST unit and will complete his probation program on december 12. Now the problem is that paperwork then has to be filed so kado can get out on probation. I have called and talked to the office to confirm that guards can drag their feet and take their time so the paperwork if they are trying can take 1-2 months who knows how long if the guard is in a bad mood. So once that paperwork is done Kado gets out on probation. So He would really appreciate a phone zap to encourage the guards to finish the paperwork in a timely manner.

Demonstrations in Solidarity With ‘Stop Cop City’ Activists Facing Repression Spread

From It's Going Down

In the wake of Georgia’s Attorney General Chris Carr moving to indict 61 Stop Cop City activists on RICO charges, including those who were arrested at a concert in the Weelaunee forest in support of the movement, handing out flyers with information on the police officer who shot and killed Manuel “Tortuguita” Teran, and those involved in a local bail-fund, supporters have been taking action in solidarity with those facing repression and continuing the struggle on the ground.

You are the good cause

throwing stones at fog

From Freedom News UK

None of us can live an authentic, total anarchism in a capitalist world. Taking that world onto your shoulders and expecting to be able to carry it is a promise to be crushed and broken. As activists, our goal is to transform the world-devouring system into something more creative, not to perfect ourselves within that system.

From Surviving Leviathan with Peter Gelderloos

I realize how most of the people who have dedicated their lives to the building of an anarchist movement have disappointed me, some gravely, while the people who have brought an anarchist praxis to some aspect of real life and survival have inspired me the most. In the worst moments, they’ve even kept me alive.

Stop Camp Grayling!

From The Final Straw

This week on The Final Straw, we’re sharing a chat that Scott had with Smirk, Wink & Nudge of the Stop Camp Grayling Offensive, an anarchist effort to oppose the doubling expansion of the largest military base on Turtle Island, based in so-called Michigan. For the hour, the militants talk about the ecological, social, economic and other potential impacts of expanding the military industrial complex and this counterinsurgency training ground in particular.

Lessons from Occupy McGill

In 2022, I was an active anarchist in the two week occupation of McGill University. In the months prior to the occupation, I was part of the meetings that discussed the idea of pitching up tents in the Arts building. Back then, we were just 6 people at a picnic table. I witnessed the successes and failures of the occupation (and of its offshoots at Concordia and UdeM) but until now have not written anything on the subject.  

Anarchist and Autonomous Formations Hit the Streets of Mexico City on May Day

from It's Going Down

Report from Mexico City on May Day, as various anarchist and autonomous groups and initiatives take the streets.

In Mexico City, a city where the revolutionary tradition of Flores Magon, Zapata, and Villa is alive and well, there were countless celebrations of May Day. Leaving aside the sparsely attended marches organized by Stalinists or the large glum parades led by bureaucratic unions and top-down clientelist “social movements” controlled by the ruling political party Morena, there were at least three marches that had notable participation from autonomist, anarchist or anti-state communist sectors, all of which converged in the Zocolo, the central plaza of the city.

We Outside: The Washington Square Parties of 2021

from It's Going Down

A look at how resistance to park curfews in Washington Square Park in the summer of 2021 continued the spirit of the George Flroyd rebellion.

A year after the riots and mass marches of 2020, the spring and summer of 2021 belonged to kickback flash mobs, generator punk shows, raves, and other guerrilla gatherings. The focal point of the trend in New York was the bluetooth-PA dance parties in Washington Square Park. Lured by meetup maps posted to Instagram, restless youth logged off Zoom class and traveled to Manhattan to enjoy the weather, drink, get high, dance, and look for trouble.

Why are we still standing outside of precincts?

precincts are for burning, not burnout

from Rose City Counter-Info

What is effective? I do not know. But I know that we need to stop yelling at precincts. It was old in October of 2020 it is fucking ancient now. I do not feel like we honored Amir Locke tonight. I doubt anyone does. And that is why people have stopped coming out. Yelling at a concrete wall does not feel good and is ineffective. Yelling at a concrete wall and then getting the shit beat out of you with your lungs full of teargas definitely does not feel good and is definitely ineffective. [...] This is the first post in what will hopefully be a conversation between Portland anarchists on what to do. Please write a response in your tweets or noblogs or yell at me on the street.

Protest, Rebellion and Fascism

from Eco Revolt by Julian Langer

When does a state turn fascist? I wonder at what intensity of statism does a state turn from a non-fascist, or non-fascist-like/type of state, into a fascist/fascist-like/fascist-type state. But then again, if fascism is a certain intensity of statism, then does that mean that all states have a quality of fascism or fascist-like/type qualities? Well, my anti-statist inclination is drawn towards saying “yes” to the last question, or at least “I’d say so”.
