Don't be deceived that there is an anti-war block among the Right.

#OtD 17 Jun 1932 24-year-old Italian anarchist coalminer Angelo Pellegrino Sbardellotto was executed by a fascist firing squad in Italy, having admitted his plan to assassinate Mussolini. His final words were "Viva l'anarchia!" stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8897...

That last part

Many such cases.

Interesting, but any allegories here seems a stretch. jacobin.com/2025/06/trum...

this is america. neighborhoods suddenly filled with masked, heavily armed men, claiming they are the authorities.

"The justices have ruled in favor of the administration in 10 of the 12 decided cases. These are consequential cases involving the administration's efforts to lay off federal workers, shutter various agencies, and deport people without due process." www.npr.org/2025/06/16/n...

This was a tremendous incident that exposed even more of the harsh nature of the Mexican state.

A chilling, but much needed, review of the ideology behind reactionary futurism. There is a political struggle over the imagination, as we have been arguing for over a decade, and we need visions of a liberatory future. lareviewofbooks.org/article/reac...

Always keen insights

I wrote about how to turn in-person meetings into Signal groups, how to manage large semi-public Signal groups while vetting new members, and how to sue announcement-only Signal groups, perfect for rapidly responding to ICE raids micahflee.com/using-signal...

The protests have to mark the beginning of a larger democratic movement. We can’t expect authoritarians or the wealth class to simply give up. We have an incredible fight ahead of us, but the feeling of mass action and solidarity can keep us going. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/no-kings-h...

Serve and protect, right?

This is better than the water balloons filled with paint idea.

Part of what it looks like to *save ourselves* is for folks to take over our library, park, water and other local boards. Get leftists on there who can make decisions that benefit the working class. We can do that because few people actually pay attention to those levers of power.

The oppression of the entire Latino community of Los Angeles right now is difficult to convey. Normally vibrant local retail areas of East LA and SELA look like ghost towns this week. People are afraid to leave their homes. Parents afraid to go to work. It's US citizens too. Anyone with brown skin

Love a list like this

If they're willing to assault and tackle a sitting US senator in front of national media, what do you think they're doing to immigrants in detention centers?

wow I wonder if the cops who lied about the sitting senator even though everything they did was on tape are also being less than honest about the presence of violent agitators at the protests in los angeles. they might even not have told the entire truth about other protests

Contrary to conventional wisdom, the size and scale of anti-Trump protests this year have dwarfed those in 2017, and they have been extraordinarily peaceful. #NoKings #HandsOff

People are always like "ooh la la how come the French go so much harder than us" but look at this shit, look at this wild hard ass head on fight out of Tuscon TODAY and it barely registers with people as particularly special. US proles go hard af and pretending otherwise is respectability bullshit

Just started reading this biography. What a fascinating life and legacy! Check it out. truthout.org/articles/mar...

Community isn't just people you want to be friends with. Sometimes it means organizing with someone you personally hate, because you're both going to stand for the same cause. Sometimes, it means just ignoring them at rallies but backing them up on the street.

Good on her

If you're a working person, you already know - prices are going up, and people are feeling the pinch of everyday life. Trump's polls continue to go down, especially as the tariffs hit. Immigration is the last "thing" Trump can rally around. www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

The true nihilists of our age are not those who abandon institutions, fight police, & don't vote, but those who remain invested in a society where cruelty, suffering, insecurity, & death are the norm. If any meaning survives it can only be found in the abolition of such a society.

so if the National Guard are already sleeping on top of each other in warehouses, where are the Marine's now supposed to go?

Teen Vogue stepping it up again with the activist news

"Roughly 500 Marines based out of the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in California have been mobilized to respond to the protests in Los Angeles, according to three people familiar with the matter, and will join the National Guard troops..." www.cnn.com/us/live-news...

NEW: Over a thousand people are rallied in Downtown LA in support of SEIU, after SEIU President Pres. David Huerte was arrested days ago after an ICE raid (ABC7) Won't be able to be as active with the updates today, but I'll do my best to provide some

Time to remember this classic. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXvd...

We're also not the doomer left www.currentaffairs.org/news/excuse-...

How much you want to bet this is Elon selling all his Trumpcoin.

Watching Trump and Musk trade insults reminds us of Sinclair Lewis's novel. In that story, American fascism eventually collapses because the leaders start to turn on each other.

We appreciate this treatment. We stopped watching a while back because it seemed this showed seem to be relishing in oppression as a shock tactic. It's helpful to see someone try to extract lessons from the story arc of this series. wagingnonviolence.org/2025/05/the-...

periodic reminder that there's a 22 minute long post-hardcore song written about a dead anarchist from Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy and it's maybe one of the most margaret-coded things in existence and I love it. clayborne-mtl.bandcamp.com/track/eulogy...

Popular assemblies have a long history as a means to organize decision making and collective action. Drawing from experience in building these assemblies, this new step-by-step guide emphasizes their need to be rooted in the neighborhood. Link below👇

A brief interview about the background and influence of Lucy Parsons. She supposedly wrote science fiction. Anyone have a lead on that? www.wbez.org/reset-with-s...

Cory Doctorow: "The research is indicating that — especially among young people — that there is less belief in the peaceful transfer of power. There is a greater belief that there will be a violent confrontation in our immediate future." rvamag.com/community/un...

Anyone gonna be out in Culver City for this? Looks like a good day to visit with our comrade Javier.

2 June is #InternationalSexWorkersDay, marking the anniversary of a 1976 sex worker occupation of Saint-Nizier church in Lyon, protesting inhumane working conditions. Note: Criminalising sex work doesn’t prevent sex work, it just makes it harder for sex workers to work safely. Decriminalise now.
