Eleven years since the #Ferguson uprising, which always drew parallels between the occupation of Ferguson and the occupation of Palestine via Ferguson2Palestine.

Nobody articulated those parallels better than Palestinian-American protester/citizen-journo Bassem Masri.

Miss your voice, Bassem.

I will stop hating on all the artists and non-profits here in exchange for the east side.

Got a nail in one of my tires 😖

National Weather Service’s Plan to Hire Crucial Staffers After Mass Layoffs Will Be Too Late for Wildfire Season Key California weather forecast offices will remain

The National Weather Service was hit hard by DOGE-related cuts earlier this year.

Now, key weather forecast offices in California will remain “criminally understaffed” while new hires get on board this fire season, former NWS meteorologists warn.

There’s food in the markets in Gaza and more merchants are taking electronic payments so it’s a good day to donate

People are always telling you stuff about themselves. No words needed.

Two members of our editorial collective went on Intifada recently to chat about the magazine, beavers, and the prospect for communism.

Thanks for having us on!

Anarchists have never had a unified stance on Palestine and Zionism, but this page collects various texts by anarchists and fellow travellers on the subject from 1899 to 2025, from Lazare to Sinclair.

A yellow background and a meter indicating moderate wastewater levels of SARS-CoV-2. The text reads: After a slow start, the U.S.’s summer COVID-19 wave is now clearly taking off, with cases increasing nationwide according to all metrics. While the South and West Coast continue to report the highest disease levels, increases are happening across the country. Wastewater data from the CDC, WastewaterSCAN, and Biobot Analytics report SARS-CoV-2 levels going up in all regions. The CDC reported a jump of 35% in its national wastewater viral activity level between July 19 and July 26, the biggest change in this metric since last winter (though note, these are preliminary data). Showing a similar national trend, the CDC’s disease forecasting center estimates that COVID-19 cases are “growing or likely growing” in 40 states as of July 29. Cases are not declining in any states, per the center. And it’s important to remember that, since the most recent available data are from late July, disease levels are likely higher now. Some commentators continue to note that this summer’s COVID-19 levels are lower than last year’s. But it’s difficult to predict what will happen over the next few weeks, especially as surveillance for variants continues to be minimal."

"No-one takes responsibility," says Shim Jin-tae, an 83-year-old survivor. "Not the country that dropped the bomb. Not the country that failed to protect us. America never apologised. Japan pretends not to know. Korea is no better. They just pass the blame - and we're left alone."

[Berlin] A response to the critiques circulating against the soli-party Konvulsismo #2 in support of the Assembly collective, held on August 2th 2025:

Former 'Alligator Alcatraz' worker describes 'inhumane' conditions inside In an exclusive report, NBC6 spoke with a former corrections officer who says she saw hundreds held in cages with no sunlight, backed up toilets and little access to showers.

A former “Alligator Alcatraz” worker says detainees are subject to “inhumane” conditions — packed by the hundreds into cages without sunlight, with overflowing toilets and limited access to showers.

"The very same 'democratic' States that had cast aside all the so-called 'international laws' of warfare by constructing and using the monstrous atomic bomb, pretends not to know how and by whom this frankenstein, which it has itself given birth to, should be controlled."

Why are things like this? A kind of absurdist fatalism has taken over discussion of "the current moment". In the last 22 months of genocide and reenergized fascism, the simple question "how are you?" has gone from almost dread...

New piece from @vickyacab.bsky.social on the current state of the fascist takeover: "In this creeping normalization of the increasingly unacceptable, a question that we often see on social media is: "why are things like this?" Why do things only get worse? Does it really have to be this way?"
