From Truthout by Peter Gelderloos
Trump’s escalation of censorship and retaliation is terrifying. The groundwork for it was prepared years in advance.

On Saturday, 8 February 2025, members of Geelong Anarchist Communists (GAC) and curious locals gathered under the shelter of Warrnambool’s Civic Green. Posters adorning the coastal towns’ streets promoted an Introduction to Anarchism workshop... City Council... abruptly cancelled the event with less than a day’s notice—an attack on both free speech and political organisation.

When I discussed some of these things in the comments here some people said I should write a blogpost about it, and since I have nothing else to do at the moment, here goes. This report is mostly written from the perspective of participants and supporters of the CNT-b union in Belgium but it is not any official CNT-b text, it is solely my (Tim Declercq) own personal report and responsibility.
In Berlin on February 24, the Ukrainian diaspora is holding an action on the anniversary of the start of the full-scale invasion. Local groups (mostly made up of immigrants from Belarus/Russia) have called to join this action in the format of an anarchist bloc, in response to the Pramen collective's call for this kind of action across Europe. One of the comrades involved in the preparations for the action today threw me the information that their call was removed from the local indymedia without any comments – the German indymedia is still alive and actively filled with various content, from authoritarian left to anarchist. It's hard for me not to comment on such a situation.

About the RIA of 2023, but not only...
During the anti-authoritarian meetings held in Saint-Imier from July 19 to 23, the stand and the militants of the Anarchist Federation were physically attacked by people arrogating to themselves the right to decide which writings had their place in a anarchist book fair and which were to undergo a burning.
The Anarchist Federation issued the following statement:
About a fascist-like attack that occured during the St Imier "anarchist international gathering" Bookfair, a communication from the French Anarchist Federation.

The Memory Hole, or “memory holed” has become a term for when powerful institutions censor inconvenient or embarrassing things about themselves. But, how often do we look at our own spaces and inspect them for similar phenomena?

“Autonomous Action” (Avtonom) has always been a group that spreads anarchism in the Russian-speaking world. We don’t care about national borders. But no matter which states our activists are based, social change in Russia is very important to us.

Full title: The censorship of correspondence for anarchist comrade Alfredo Cospito was renewed
We inform that in January the censorship of correspondence (incoming and outgoing) to anarchist comrade Alfredo Cospito, currently imprisoned for a 20-year sentence in the ‘Scripta Manent’ trial, was renewed. We remind that censorship was also previously ordered between September and December 2021. Alfredo was recently subject of an arrest order in the context of the ‘Sibilla’ operation of November 11, as he is accused of incitement to commit crimes with the aggravating circumstance of the purpose of terrorism, in relation to the publication of the anarchist paper ‘Vetriolo’.
