When Todorov returned to Bulgaria, he participated in the first self-organised community space in the country—whose activists in 2013 managed to provoke a daily public assembly at the Eagles Bridge in the heart of Sofia.

We are witnessing one of the most serious disasters in the world. We’re talking about 80% of hospitals that are out of service. Half the population displaced, 90% suffering from hunger today in war zones"

"If you’re absent from social and political struggles, people turn elsewhere. If you don’t represent a credible alternative to parties and the State, people look elsewhere for solutions. We must be on the front line of the social and class war every day.”

News headline: Police to get new powers to crack down on repeated protests, says Home Office
Glad Labour's in charge to defend us against the far-right tendency to ban opposition and continually extend police powers repressing dissent. Can you imagine if Reform got in and used right-wing media shouting as an excuse to criminalise "repeated protests" it didn't like? Bullet dodged there ...

Having an excessive number of officers at SCs leads to boredom amongst them, and some begin to antagonise, provoke, and abuse those supposedly under their care.

The current status of the flotilla’s participants remains unclear, with communications cut off and no confirmation of where detainees have been taken. Israeli military sources released footage claiming to show detained activists receiving “humanitarian care”.

Keir Starmer supwrimposed on Lenin with the question: Is it time, comrade?
Livestreaming at 7.30pm, the Anarchist News Review! Was Starmer saying some negative things about Farage the nod we were all waiting for to begin the revolution? Is a centrist citzens database less Orwellian? Do we really need human rights laws anyway? Find out later!

The campaign is especially relevant after Starmer and Trump announced plans to open the UK to US tech corporations—widely seen as vulture capitalism. Companies are being promised reliable nuclear power for their data servers in post-industrial “sacrifice zones”.

Text: the Reform UK leader claimed that Starmer saying Reform policies were racist was “inciting and encouraging” the radical left to take action against Reform officials, supporters, voters and sympathisers.
Nigel Toadface thinks the radical left has been waiting for permission from Keir St ... *double checks notes* ... no, that is right, Keir Starmer. To physically attack Reform candiadates.
Starmer. Seriously is there any weird US talking point which that rubberfaced toff won't shamelessly ape?
The Flaskô workers faced not only state repression, but also threats from mercenaries and militias. They fought almost alone, with only minor support from a small militant group, in one of the most dangerous metropolitan areas in Brazil.

In London, activists daubed graffiti and threw paint across the home of Barclays CEO Vimlesh Maru, after sending spoof invitations to neighbours for a “cocktail party” highlighting the bank’s role in “genocide and climate collapse”.

28.09.2025 10:45 — 👍 4 🔁 4 💬 1 📌 0What it *does* do, of course, is the same thing as Labour's own version - it gives everything Farage has been saying the official stamp of approval from the mainstream party leaderships. Now he can push his objectively inhuman policies as much as he likes, and what can they say?

Text from the Times newspaper reporting the Tories' immigration plan to exit the UN refugee convention, convention against torture, and anti-slavery convention ECAT.

There’s a lot of history that I hadn’t read before, with fascinating information you won’t find very easily elsewhere---as well as interesting and anecdotal stories around different venues and different bands.

Really? "Anti-ICE"? Not even "1312" or "AFA"? It's almost as if some conscientious soul at the Beureau is working to show up the boss.

Chances for any real improvement to the rat and cockroach infested prison system have been totally diminished by the allocation of much needed funding to ever more new mega-prisons, whose structure prohibits humane treatment by design.

Today the symbol of rebellion is the straw-hat pirate. But it is the fear of *amok masa*, the fear of anarchy itself, that declares to the world insurrection and revolution is still possible.
