This statement by Iranian, Kurdish, and Afghani feminists argues that we must oppose the US and Israeli assault on Iran while also refusing to endorse the repressive Iranian government.

Genocidal imperialist projects will never liberate us, nor will patriarchal nationalist regimes protect us.

We honor the life of Colin Jerwood, singer of the anarcho-punk band Conflict, who contributed to the resurgence of combative anarchism in the 1980s.

"The more you oppress the more we'll resist
We will win because we have to, we've got nothing to lose no more"

April 19th was the second anniversary of the death of a close friend who was fighting with an anarchist unit in Ukraine.

Cooper was one of the bravest and most dedicated people I have ever known.

The best memory for me is if you continue actively struggle, overcoming personal ambitions and unnecessary harmful strife. If you continue to fight actively to achieve a free society based on equality and solidarity. For you and for me and for all our comrades.

The state relies on us creating a dichotomy between "good protesters" and "bad protesters" and it relies on a misinterpretation of nonviolence in order to get us to do it. When we resist a fascist state, we must resist the fascist state's logic.

Those who seek to oppress us are not invincible.

Whatever power they acquire, whatever technology they employ, they make mistakes, they overlook vulnerabilities.

And they are motivated by bigotry and greed, which are not the most powerful forces in the human spirit.

For a little while now I have been working on a primer on the use of software defined radio for anarchists, and the building of custom emergency radio scanners.

It is VERY rough, but let me know if you find it useful:

Elites like Musk and Trump push the conspiracy theory that "Soros" is behind protests, because it's central to their ideology that there is no genuine, grassroots resistance movements that oppose them, that everything is an AstroTurf grift, animated by a cabal. itsgoingdown.org/george-soros...
