From PDX Anti-Repression Committee
Operating from within the u.s. empire, there are many contradictions that run rampant in our movements — so much so that sometimes, the movements we foolishly perceive as posing a challenge to the state are actually reinforcing its violence.

June 11, 2022 statement from Sean Swain
Fewer and fewer people seem to be suffering from the hierarch delusion these days. I say “delusion” because hierarchy is a diagnosable mental illness. The delusion of hierarchy is dependent upon a number of irrational and illogical premises– all provably and observably false.

from anarquistas anticarcelarixs, English translation by Act for freedom now!
We want to take this opportunity to correct a mistake we made at the time of producing the text and that we cannot let pass by, firstly to not fall into the trap of authoritarian language that is crystallized in the imaginary of everyday life, and secondly, in pursuit of intellectual honesty. With this postscript, we also wish to offer a first approach to a critical position on the concept of rehabilitation.
Imagine tomorrow all prisons decide to let everyone out, and after they're empty, they're imploded.

Call from Texas prisoners for actions leading up to Juneteenth.
An organization of revolutionary Texas prisoners called T.E.A.M.O.N.E., alongside another prisoners’ org titled the TX Liberation Collective, is calling for a “campaign to boycott, rally, and strike on the days approaching [Juneteenth] and on that day.” [...] The communique is being spread publicly as an invitation to outside groups like Incarcerated Workers’ Organizing Committee, Anarchist Black Cross groups, Revolutionary Abolitionist Movement chapters, and other prisoner support crews and anti-prison groups to help spread the word to prison populations in their own states as well.
