They pulled Army vet Bajun Mavalwalla from his family home in WA and hunted ex-Marine Benjamin Song in TX for alleged participation in anti-ICE protests. This gov't demands absolute obedience as they kidnap your family and neighbors, and will use overwhelming force to punish anyone who strays.

Savannah is one of 17+ anti-ICE protestors currently held in a Texas detention center on absurd conspiracy charges - the same county where the Sheriff was recently arrested on sexual harassment and witness intimidation charges. See slide 4 on how you can support!

Repression is not something that comes "after" the movement. It is not a custodial task. Building police centers and concentration camps, rounding up workers on a farm, are also all acts of repression that we resist. They fight us, we fight them back. It's as simple as that.

We are honored to share part of our name with this piece of the greater history of resistance and hope to continue to uplift the voices of those held captive by the state as best we can.

Fire Ant Movement Defense was created as a response to the repression here in Atlanta against the Stop Cop City movement, but we have always held at our center that we are part of a long and powerful lineage of people fighting for anarchist ideals and facing the full brunt of the state because of it

The publication pre-dates our organization and has been putting out regular, radical, cool as fuck writing and analysis through collaboration across the prison walls.

15 months ago, a brave individual stopped work on a Brassfield & Gorrie (Cop City general contractor) worksite by locking them self to a piece of machinery.

On June 16, show out to their court date to make sure they (and the state!) know how much support they have!

Since years before FAMD, the Fire Ant Anarchist Prisoner Solidarity newsletter has published writings from anarchist prisoners. FAMD is not affiliated with Fire Ant Anarchist Prisoner Solidarity, but their work very powerful! You can find more here: bloomingtonabc.noblogs.org/fire-ant/.

The prosecutor is attempting to submit 50gb of new evidence, even tho the deadline closed a year ago. Cop city case is a disaster.
