Just wanted to recommend the latest book project by RYBN —ALGOFFSHORE, an absurdist yet real tactical manual on financial evasion. A tour of freeports, Bahamian banking perversions & pharma's hired protestors, where finance hits land like God’s finger...any Robin Hoods out there?
The ALGOFFSHORE series of flowcharts (RYBN.ORG, 2017-2021) appearing here in book format presents five ready-to-use strategies for evading taxes or social and environmental obligations. While the systems proposed in this publication only exist virtually, they are intentionally activable. En passant, these flowcharts document how contemporary financial engineering allows multinationals and enterprises to optimize profits, render transactions opaque, maximize anonymity, and circumvent all kinds of regulations hindering the smooth circulation—and ultimately the accumulation—of capital. As such, the present publication can be seen as a tactical manual for the art of evasion. With an article by Pekko Koskinen and interviews of Citizens Against Bank Exploitation (CABE), Le Freeport, Melle Smets, Lora Verheecke. Graphic design by JB Parré.

Nel mentre, aumentano l’Iva sugli assorbenti e tagliano gli asili nido dal PNRR.

I cannot overemphasize how important it is for you to contact your local papers and offer to give an interview about the protest you participated in.
We got three articles and counting in local papers this week because of cold calls and unsolicited letters to the editor.

Seems like has been very little coverage of protests happening in the U.S.--not necessarily an intentional media blackout (although possibly), but the result of a longstanding stance in legacy media that protests aren't worth covering, activists aren't credible sources (but somehow CEOs are), etc.

One of my favorite things about Bluesky (or at least my little corner of it) is that people are always sharing resources for taking action.
So here's a pinned thread collecting those resources, some made by me and some made by others.

Reports of ICE raids, & at least one detention, in Northern Virginia. Don't open the door if ICE knocks, check for a warrant signed by a judge, & don't answer questions without a lawyer are among your rights, regardless of citizenship. If you're a bystander, you can remind people. More tips here:
