Rojava, the largest actually-democratic project in the world, has entered what might (or might not) be a last desperate stand.

No friend but the mountains.

Renee Nicole Good, murdered by ICE, was a prize-winning poet. Here’s that poem. Renee Nicole Good, 37, mother to a six-year-old boy, was murdered earlier today by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, a few blocks from her home. According to the Minnesota Star Tribune: [An ICE agent] s…

Two queer women with a 6 year old in school today stopped to film ICE and for their bravery ICE agents murdered one before the other’s eyes. The grief in the survivor’s voice is a knife to the gut. Destroying people and their bonds is what ICE has always done.

“Antifa” Protesters Charged With Terrorism for Constitutionally Protected Activity After a protest against ICE, federal prosecutors pursued guilt-by-association charges against two “antifa” protesters.

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.

When heatwaves blow through the Midwest, I try to stay positive and look at the silver lining: this is the coolest summer it’ll ever be for the rest of our lives…

“Iran must not be allowed to have a nuclear weapon” and think these ghoulish motherfuckers are anything but stenographers for a pariah state hellbent on plunging more and more of the planet into bloodshed, chaos, and suffering?

Only an empire in decay could produce such vacuous, uncritical, and vapid sheep out of its citizens. Like…how can anyone in the US who had a brain between their ears in 2003 look at every mainstream media pundit and politician regurgitating word-for-word the precise phrase,

It’s genuinely staggering how many people have seemingly memory-holed the lies and propaganda that launched the US invasion of Iraq. Simultaneously, it’s infuriating to see so many dubious people who seem to think this is going to be WW3 or be a 1:1 repetition of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

…this is such a stupendous self-own, I don’t even need to bother saying anything.

No gods, no masters. No kings, no presidents. No cops, no prisons. A better world is possible.

Hegseth says the Pentagon has contingency plans to invade Greenland if necessary Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is appearing to acknowledge that the Pentagon has developed plans to take over Greenland and Panama by force if necessary.

They want to throw a new generation of working-class people into the meat grinder of war for access to shipping lanes and rare earth minerals. Fuck these war pigs. apnews.com/article/hegs...

Re: the big No Kings protests this weekend, remember that the corporate media, politicians, etc are obviously champing at the bit to be able to force a “good protestors vs bad protestors” narrative to discredit the anti-ICE/anti-genocide movement.

Do not let them. Embrace a diversity of tactics.

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening

historians: that thing is definitely happening

star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it

news outlets: these protesters are out of control

The poster from this year's International Day of Solidarity with Long-Term Anarchist Prisoners. A black background with white text reading "JUNE 11" and "THE LANDSCAPE TRANSFORMS" in white font across the top and bottom. The central image is a linocut of a seed beginning to germinate in fire, rendered in black ink, with the flames rendered in orange and red ink.

Today is Int'l Day of Solidarity w/ Long-Term Anarchist Prisoners. To remind us of our comrades held by the state & to reinvigorate our struggle alongside them until every last prison wall crumbles. Turn your attention to @supportmariusmason.bsky.social‬ @freepeppy.bsky.social‬ & others like them.

IT MAY BE THE ANARCHISTS

Israel plans to occupy and flatten all of Gaza if no deal by Trump's trip Trump has effectively given Netanyahu a green light to do as he sees fit, Israeli officials say.

This was always their goal, and why Israel has repeatedly undermined negotiations.

Here is a drawing I did of August Spies, one of the haymarket martyrs, addressing the court after being sentenced to die: “If you think that by hanging us you can stamp out the labour movement... the movement from which the downtrodden millions, the millions who toil in misery and want, expect salvation — if this is your opinion, then hang us! Here you will tread on a spark, but there and there, behind you — and in front of you, and everywhere, flames blaze up. It is a subterranean fire. You cannot put it out”. Pen and ink on paper.

Happy May Day everyone. Here is a drawing I did of August Spies, one of the haymarket martyrs, addressing the court after being sentenced to die.

Biden and his administration are liars and genocidaires, and they laid out a red carpet soaked in blood for their neo-nazi successors. May they be remembered for their evil and violent hypocrisy.

Living in a dying empire sucks.

Thirteen years god-free.
