Anarchism in Indonesia is so interesting because the tired debates of social/lifestylism, especifismo, nihilism, insurrectionary, individualist etc. don't matter. They take what they need and build a functional synthesis. Yeah they're insurrectos, but also especifistas. It works.

It began in California’s San Quentin State Prison, started by incarcerated members of the Black Guerrilla Family, including activists like George Jackson, who was a revolutionary and political prisoner killed by prison guards on August 21, 1971. The month also commemorates the deaths and resistance of other figures such as: George Jackson – Member of the Black Panther Party and co-founder of the Black Guerrilla Family. Author of Soledad Brother and Blood in My Eye. He was assassinated in San Quentin on August 21, 1971 Jonathan Jackson – George’s younger brother who tried to free the Soledad Brothers in a Marin County courthouse on August 7, 1970. He was only 17 when he was killed.

Write letters & give financial support to DFW Anti-ICE Protesters! givesendgo.dcom/supportdfwprotestors (Information current as of July 10th 2025) On July 4th Ten people were arrested and are being held in Johnson County Detention Center in Cleburne, TX on $10 million bail each—accused of trying to liberate an ICE concentration camp, called Praireland ICE Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas. The FBI is raiding homes across Dallas - Fort Worth, targeting parents, supporters & jail support volunteers. On July 6th An 11th person was arrested just for receiving a call from a loved one from jail. He wasn’t at the protest. He had a box of zines in his car—now being used as “evidence.” the FBI have turned him over to ICE to jeopardize his green card status. This is political repression, and it’s not getting the attention it deserves. One defendant’s child has also been arrested. Federal officials and the right-wing media are pushing dangerous and misleading narratives. We know the police lie, and the media echoes them. Everyone resisting ICE deserves our support — legal, financial, and material. These are prisoners of war, and we need to stand with them in unwavering solidarity!

These men were organizers. They believed in Black liberation and Caribbean self-determination. And they were made an example of.

Today, three remain behind bars:
🔗 Hanif Bey (Beaumont Gereau)
🔗 Malik El-Amin (Meral Smith)
🔗 Abdul Aziz (Warren Ballentine)
VIRGIN ISLAND 3 in 1972, five black activists in the US virgin islands were arrested for the killing of eight people at a golf course in st croix - a tragedy now known as the fountain valley massacre the five were convicted after a trial riddled with injustice - forced confessions, denied legal counsel and a jury stacked against them. many believe it was a gov't crackdown on rising black liberation movements and anti-colonial organizing in the caribbean one of them, ismael ali, later hijacked a plane to cuba and escaped US custody. another, raphael (kwesi) joseph was pardoned and died mysteriously after it was said that he was about to reveal evidence that would have exonerated at least one or more defendant. all the men were known supporters of the virgin islands independence movement the three who remain behind bars today are known as the VIRGIN ISLAND 3 - hanif shabazz bey (beaumont gereau) - malik el-amin (meral smith) - abdul azeez (warren ballentine) they've each spent over 50 years in prison - and are now in there 70's, still fighting for justice

the land is older than any border,
and our people carry the power of every ancestor
who refused to be erased.

We are not afraid. We are not alone. This is not new.
This is the same empire,
stretching its reach from coast to coast,
from border to border,
trying to make fear a permanent resident.
from LA to florida - militarized immigration is here. this isn't just about borders - it's about power, surveillance, and who gets to feel safe in their own home. last month, trump deployed 700 marines to support ICE during mass immigration raids around LA. now, 200 more marines are being sent to florida - this time under the same justification: "logistical and administrative support." but make no mistake - this is a militarized response to immigration, and it's spreading. california pushed back. community organizers, lawyers and state officials challenged this militarization in the streets, and in court. florida must now prepare to do the same. these deployments may be labeled "support", but they're happening alongside home raids, street sweeps, and detention spikes. and the presence of combat-trained forces in our neighborhoods isn't neutral - it's a message.
