β€œAugust saw our amazing community response to the threat of racists on the streets of Brighton. Thousands of us showed up in defence of our neighbours and in solidarity with migrant and muslim communities. Now we have another call to action.”

Piper (β€ͺ"yourfriendpiper") abused her last partner (cornering, shouting at, isolating, triangulating, repeatedly pressing or violating boundaries, etc) and repeatedly manipulated and lied to those of us around her. She knows her ex called her an abuser and is DARVOing because we all cut her off.

Suppression of those involved in the 2020 protests in Thailand hasn't stopped. Many still face court cases. Depressingly similar to what is also happening in Hong Kong & elsewhere

Nevertheless the calendar thread also got events by people doing what they can against injustice & oppression

Gaza is heartsick at the killing of Anas al-Sharif, Mohammed Qreiqeh, Ibrahim Zaher and Mohammed Noufal. They worked to give voice to the civilians and their plight.

No shame to Justin here, but the St. Paul Principles were a highly contentious treaty between anarchists and maoists -- we absolutely did not mean them to be an eternal guideline or moral compass. And now the drafters are stuck in eternal purgatory trying to get people to stop resharing them.

The ADL has so completely fucking twisted shit so that ANY principled anarchist or even just boring old standard anti-nationalist humanist is "antisemitic."

Every nationstate is abhorrent at core, but only one keeps so fucking pompously declaring that it has some "right to exist" like this.

"It's not complying in advance if a conservative says something vaguely intimidating and you immediately do whatever you think they want."

Yes. Yes, it is. That is the literal definition.

Quisling nonsense gets coddled far, far too much.

they require an rsvp for registration. if you haven’t registered (name,phone,address) their peace police will kick you out - or worse. NEVER rsvp to an action. even if you hand out educational zines - ACAB includes peace police
