A sighting of our "You can't kill an idea" sticker in the wild.
To be precise, in Ester, Alaska—population 2,416.

There are more tents up at the Gaza solidarity encampment at Columbia University now than there were before the police raid. Police evicted the camp at Yale today, but similar camps are appearing as far away as Michigan and North Carolina.

The question remains: how can this momentum spread beyond the walls of the universities?

Today marks two years since Russia initiated the full-scale military invasion of Ukraine.
https://crimethinc.com/AntiwarRussia2022
The invasion would never have been possible if Putin’s regime had not spent the past decade crushing every social movement in Russia—using torture to extract false confessions from arrestees and imprisoning or assassinating countless people. But this is not limited to Russia alone.
Everywhere on earth, governments are relying on more and more repressive and invasive policing to control restless populations. The war in Ukraine is part of a story that is familiar in Syria, Yemen, Ethiopia, Myanmar, Sudan, Palestine, and elsewhere. It represents the same strategy that governments around the world are employing within their territories, expanded to the scale of geopolitics: the recourse to brute force to suppress resistance and extend control.
Wherever we fight against state repression, we are fighting against a future of war.
In this picture, anarchists march today in Vilnius.

Yesterday, during a protest against Argentina's new "anarcho"-capitalist president in front of the congress building in Buenos Aires, we saw one police officer wearing a "don't tread on me" insignia in imitation of fascists in the United States.
There's no such thing as "anarcho-capitalism." Anarchists are opposed to the state; "anarcho"-capitalists are just capitalists who oppose state regulation of the economy when it is inconvenient for them, but support and depend on the violence of the state.
Solidarity with those in Argentina fighting against capitalism, fascism, police, the state, and so-called "anarcho"-capitalists.

Seven years ago, on January 20, 2017, police surrounded and arrested over 200 people in the vicinity of a confrontational march against the inauguration of Donald Trump. Prosecutors brought identical felony charges against almost every single arrestee in one of the most dramatic escalations of state repression of the Trump era. For a year and a half, people around the United States mobilized to support the defendants and beat back this attempt to set a new precedent in repression. The J20 case was one of the most important court cases about the freedom to protest in modern US history—and the defendants won.
Now, in response to the movement to #StopCopCity, prosecutors in Georgia are trying something similar, pressing RICO and domestic terrorism charges against dozens of people who were arrested at random. We strongly recommend reading this overview of the legal support strategy that defeated the J20 prosecution.

Tonight, after a judge dropped the murder charges against the police officer who killed Eddie Irizarry, people in Philadelphia engaged in multiple forms of protest, including looting corporate stores like Apple and Foot Locker.
This is a rational protest tactic in a society in which police murder hundreds of young people of color with impunity every year, in which millions are forced to scrape by in poverty while billionaires flaunt their wealth.
In the words of one witness of tonight's protests in Philadelphia, "Everybody must eat."

Memories from Saint-Imier, 1872 to 2023
https://crimethinc.com/StImier2023
In July 2023, some 5000 anarchists gathered in Saint-Imier, Switzerland for a week of events commemorating the anniversary of the establishment of the first international anti-authoritarian labor federation. Here, we explore that history and present a variety of accounts and appraisals from anarchists who came from around the world to participate this year.

Elon Musk bought Twitter with the express intention of destroying a platform that he regarded as an obstacle to the aspirations of far-right billionaires like himself.
Now he is announcing that the block function will be discontinued. The only imaginable reason to remove the block function is to enable bigots to make the platform uninhabitable for everyone else.
Here's the backstory on how Twitter became a battleground:

We are in a war with the forces of oligarchy and bigotry. We have to build communications infrastructure that they can never take over.
