This statement by Iranian, Kurdish, and Afghani feminists argues that we must oppose the US and Israeli assault on Iran while also refusing to endorse the repressive Iranian government.

Tribute to Colin Jerwood Dedicated to the memory of Colin Jerwood

We honor the life of Colin Jerwood, singer of the anarcho-punk band Conflict, who contributed to the resurgence of combative anarchism in the 1980s.

"The more you oppress the more we'll resist
We will win because we have to, we've got nothing to lose no more"

In memory of Cooper Andrews, Finbar Cafferkey and Dimitri Petrov - Solidarity Collectives Today has been 2 years since our three comrades, Cooper Andrews, Finbar Cafferkey and Dimitri Petrov

April 19th was the second anniversary of the death of a close friend who was fighting with an anarchist unit in Ukraine.

Rest in power Coop!

The best memory for me is if you continue actively struggle, overcoming personal ambitions and unnecessary harmful strife. If you continue to fight actively to achieve a free society based on equality and solidarity. For you and for me and for all our comrades.

-Dmitri Petrov’s final statement

Leonard Zeskind will be missed. We had the opportunity to speak with him in 2018. May his work continue to be a light in the fight against fascism and white supremacy. itsgoingdown.org/zeskind-hist...

Without the Awful Roar of Its Many Waters or: False Nonviolence Won't Save You

The state relies on us creating a dichotomy between "good protesters" and "bad protesters" and it relies on a misinterpretation of nonviolence in order to get us to do it. When we resist a fascist state, we must resist the fascist state's logic.

Those who seek to oppress us are not invincible.

Whatever power they acquire, whatever technology they employ, they make mistakes, they overlook vulnerabilities.

And they are motivated by bigotry and greed, which are not the most powerful forces in the human spirit.

SDRPrimer This repository contains a quick, and unedited, guide for anarchists interested in learning about radio and building a customized police scanner.

For a little while now I have been working on a primer on the use of software defined radio for anarchists, and the building of custom emergency radio scanners.

It is VERY rough, but let me know if you find it useful:

Soros, ‘Globalism,’ and Grassroots Revolt: How the Right Uses Conspiracy Theories to Appear Revolutionary In the 1990s and into the early 2000s, a global movement against corporate globalization and neoliberal capitalism developed, with anti-authoritarian and anarchist politics at it's head. In 1994, the ...

Elites like Musk and Trump push the conspiracy theory that "Soros" is behind protests, because it's central to their ideology that there is no genuine, grassroots resistance movements that oppose them, that everything is an AstroTurf grift, animated by a cabal. itsgoingdown.org/george-soros...

Clashes continue in Indonesia as people protest the law reintroducing military control of civilian affairs.

This footage is from Surabaya where a thousand people confronted police, displaying signs reading “Reject the Military Law” and “The Military Should Return to the Barracks.”
