The Labadie Collection- Why U-M Has the Largest Collection of Anarchist Ephemera in the U.S.

From YouTube by Firelake Media

Did you know that the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor has the largest collection of anarchist ephemera in the United States? It also has the oldest collection of radical literature in the United States. This assortment of literature and ephemera is called The Labadie Collection, and is on the sixth floor of the Harlan Hatcher Library. It is named after a Detroit anarchist named Jo Labadie who lived from 1850-1933. Ever the pack rat and collector of radical material, Labadie donated twenty crates of goods from his attic to the University of Michigan in 1911. This small collection eventually exploded into taking up a whole floor at the U-M Graduate library, and it includes writings of the Unabomber Ted Kaczynski. How has it lasted all these years? I talk with the librarian and curator of The Labadie Collection, Julie Herrada, to paint a fuller picture of the story.

About “Chaotic Intentions” and Words of Panagiotis Argirou, formerly of CCF

Let’s continue talking about Sara and Sandro

From Dark Nights - Foligno, Italy

The deaths of Sara Ardizzone and Alessandro Mercogliano on the night of 19–20 March in Rome, following the explosion and collapse of an abandoned cottage in the Parco degli Acquedotti area, have created an open wound that is not intended to heal. For the most part, the spontaneous reaction of the anarchist movement in Italy and around the world has been dignified and coherent with the life paths of two revolutionaries who died fighting. However, a genuine moment of reflection has been lacking so far. We do not regret this, but rather believe that the extended timeframe is necessary given the nature of this event. These are inevitably long, grief-filled days, but they are also days spent coming to a concrete understanding of the facts.

A new May arrives, tinged with Black. Hearts race, and Mauri laughs again with his mocking laugh.

Memory and struggle for the anarchist comrades Sara and Alessandro!

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

On March 20th, some sad news reached us from the other side of the ocean: two anarchists are dead. They were preparing an attack against capitalist inertia. An attack against desperation, against the convenience of obedience, which is always the easier road compared to the uncertainty of rebellion.

For Anzac Day: The Fight For Anarchism is The Fight For Peace

From The Polar Blast - Anarchist Class War News & Views for Aotearoa

Anzac Day always seems an appropriate occasion to restate the anarchist opposition to war, and reiterate that it is never in the interests of the working class to support war.
