If you've somehow got drones attacking you, I guess you could probably wreck one's rotors with #8 bird shot. But if you're just shooting at random drones, that's a really good way to get, like, *mega* arrested

"Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them." -Assata Shakur

Rest In Power ✊🏼

Assata Shakur, sitting cross-legged, stairs at the camera. She has a book in her hand/lap and is wearing a multicolored garment. Her hair has been twisted.

“I have advocated, and I still advocate revolutionary change. I advocate an end to capitalist exploitation, the abolition of racist policies, the eradication of sexism, and the elimination of political repression. If that is a crime, then I am totally guilty.”

- Assata Shakur

Settle your quarrels, come together, understand the reality of our situation, understand that fascism is already here, that people are already dying who could be saved, that generations more will live poor butchered half-lives if you fail to act. Do what must be done, discover your humanity and your love in revolution. George Jackson

Post from Cooper Lund reading: The “don’t sign up for protests” thing is just an outgrowth of the Online tendency to one-up other people on how much you care. Oh, they’re protesting and signing people up for it? I’ll show them by claiming that’s wrong and you can care more by not signing up.

He's said he's blocking people, so we'll add this here for context just in case

This is a great example of someone to not listen to. Never sign up for a protest, don't photograph or record your (or anyone's!) face, don't share that you were present, and do your best to hide your identity. A protest is a show of force, not a marketing opportunity for your personal brand!

John Brown's commitment to action over rhetoric in pursuit of justice is still striking fear into the hearts of white supremacists over a century after his death

His soul is marching on!

A group of 13 comrades pose in Providence next to a cart decorated with xmas lights

Every week, RIJBGC and our friends go out downtown in Providence to distribute survival and comfort supplies to our unhoused siblings. We are running low on some supplies (especially socks and body wipes), and would appreciate help stocking up for winter (hats, gloves, blankets) if you can!

We are legitimately looking at a genocide against trans people in the United States. That's not hyperbole. The Department of Justice isn't talking about disarming us so that we can all live quietly in peace.

There is still time to stop this, but only if cis people care enough.

Sticker in the trans flag colors that says, "a trans person peed here and everybody died :("

A new sticker!

Trump DOJ is looking at ways to ban transgender Americans from owning guns, sources say | CNN Politics Senior Justice Department officials are weighing proposals to limit transgender people’s right to possess firearms, according to two officials familiar with the internal discussions.

Can we please understand what is happening? He is disarming us as a prelude to our extermination. And making us mentally unfit to own firearms as a matter of law will exclude us from all manner of legal rights.

Talk to a chatbot if you find yourself in mental crisis. No wait, call 911 & have the cops shoot you. No wait, call 988 & have a social worker lock you in the psych ward. The options are shit & if the culture didn’t hate the mad they wouldn’t be.

Farm workers harvesting grapes on 9:50 am on Friday August 22nd when it was already 89°F in Lamont CA. #WeFeedYou

At 9:50 a.m. today it was already 89°F when a farm worker sent us this photo from where they were harvesting table grapes in Lamont CA. #WeFeedYou #Calor

"But what if I really WANT a shotgun?"

Go nuts! They're a lot of fun for shooting sports. But don't rely on it for self or community defense and don't buy one until you have a good rifle and a good pistol!

"I can't buy an AR-15 in my state"

This one's trickier because what you can get varies wildly by state. The KelTec SU-16 probably has a compliant version for your state. They're broadly ok, and they take AR-15 magazines. Read/watch reviews of compliant 5.56 semiauto rifles (5.56 is the best choice)

"I can't buy a Glock in my state"

There are a lot of very good striker-fired pistols on the market if you're stuck in a state that won't allow Glocks or makes them super expensive. Some suggestions:
Walther PDP
CZ P10C (this writer's favorite)
Beretta APX
Smith & Wesson M&P
Springfield Echelon

ACLU calls out lack of privacy protections in Providence’s new Real Time Crime Center; urges passage of ordinance "It is hard to believe that the City truly considers privacy to be a priority if it implements an invasive surveillance system like the RTCC before having privacy policies firmly in place..."

It's a boring dystopia, at least in Brave New World they had Soma.

GLOBAL STRIKE 21 AUGUST 2025 ONE DAY TO BREAK THE SIEGE NO WORK. NO TRADE. NO BUSINESS AS USUAL #GLOBALSTRIKEFORGAZA

Today

ICE has stopped reporting number of trans people in custody Advocates say the lack of data hampers efforts to ensure people’s safety as the Trump administration ramps up immigration detentions

ICE will "no longer report the number of transgender people in their custody."

"ICE has rolled back trans care requirements in [..] detention centers and removed a 2015 memo governing how the agency treats trans migrants."

man who cares if "crime is down" or you have a nice photo of a park. if crime were up and your photo was less pleasant to look at the thing is still that the president shouldn't be sending brownshirts to traipse around our cities
