TOTW: Leaving Marks
What do you create in order to give meaning to your life? How do you leave marks on the world in a deliberate way?

From Athens Indymedia, translated by Act for freedom now!
As I enjoy my freedom again, won through my second hunger and thirst strike, I reflect on the complex historical mosaic that not only shaped my personal choices but also wove the collective struggle against the state-capitalism complex. Far from being solitary acts of assertion, the hunger strikes were instead part of the social antagonism within the complex dynamics taking shape in Greece and the global landscape as the assault of the dominant powers deepens.
From Support Eric King
Greetings friends, comrades, and assorted government voyeurs! This is my second RDTW from ADX. The “Alcatraz of the Rockies” is a weird place, filled with creepy, abusive predators, and a few hundred prisoners!

But instead of discreet, my transfer was made with measures I had never had before and without prior notice.

As for the local community, acquaintances and friends in town, some treated the event with astonishment and others with acid humor, speaking of its ridiculousness.

Message from Thanos Hatziangelou
On April 4, the agents of bourgeois justice want to put Anarchist Action in the dock of state terrorism. On the same benches where the state and capitalist crime of Tempe* will be washed away, tyranny will once again face the fighting forces of revolutionary violence, subversion and social liberation.

When I think about it, though, something ironic is there: I am the only asshole who dies in the progressive democratic West because he is prevented from reading and studying what he wants, anarchist newspapers, anarchist books, historical and scientific journals, without neglecting his beloved comic books.
