15 Newer Hardcore Punk Records from Indonesia to Set Cops on Fire

From DIY Conspiracy

Amidst record inflation and police killings of civilians, Indonesia's punk scene has taken a militant, insurrectionary stance.

Tensions exploded again in the summer of 2025 after the government approved a scandalous housing allowance ten times the minimum wage.

Riot Diary: The Greek Train Collision, Pt Two

(part one is here)

SECOND DAY AFTER THE DERAILMENT: FRIDAY 3 MARCH

Rather than just one funeral, Greeks hold multiple services for their dead: a week, forty days and then a year after the passing.

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.

Looking Critically at the Brooklyn Center Riot

from Anathema

An Interview from Anathema

Were there anarchists in the riot? Out of any political tendency, the anarchists went the hardest, but they were still a small minority.

From Anarchists Worldwide

TENSIONS WITH REFORMISM AND THE CONSTITUENT PROCESS IN THE MIDST OF FIRE AND RIOTING IN CHILE

That is why, unlike those who claim that society is a victim of the implacable power of the State, we remain in affinity with our comrades who, throughout history, have shown the symbiotic and inseparable relationship between State and Society, revealing the very complicity of citizens in their own domination and that of other individuals.

Fuck the Cops & the Feds! Olympia Solidarity With PDX

submitted anonymously –

A call was put out for a demo here in Olympia in solidarity with Portland against the deployment of the federal agents. I showed up to the Heritage Park Fountain a little late but when I got there I was greeted by a crowd size I haven’t seen since the beginning of the uprising. There was probably around 150 people, 75-100 of them in bloc and geared up with helmets, shields, umbrellas, and a few gas masks.
