Distro Highlight ✨ We Are Green and Trembling by Gabriela Cabezón Cámara, translated by Robin Myers and from @ndbooks.bsky.social See what other great fiction we have available at AKPress.org today!

Catch journalist and legendary activist JoNina Abron-Ervin, former member of the Black Panther Party and lifelong organizer for Black autonomy, talking about the release of her book DRIVEN BY THE MOVEMENT: FROM THE BLACK POWER ERA, which profiles 20 rank-and-file activists of the Black Power Era.

Last night, about 60 Chicago activists and organizers gathered to discuss Trump's threatened military occupation of our city. Our convo centered around a worksheet that some friends and I put together this week—a tool that can help us build and strengthen local networks of support and protection.

"I'm very frustrated by the term's ['carceral state'] redundancy." "There is no state that is not carceral, historically." Martin Sostre "would have been more likely to call for abolishing the state than abolishing the prison." #NewYork #USA #Incarceration

20 years ago today, Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans and became one of the deadliest and most destructive storms in U.S. history. Common Ground Relief came together to help rebuild. In 𝘈 𝘚𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘯 𝘗𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳, Common Ground cofounder Malik Rahim talks about this work and the importance of #mutualaid:

The BPP held an entire anti-fascist conference in Oakland in the late 60s. People are over half a century behind on the realities of what they were saying about fascism in the USA, but it also speaks to how severely their politics were suppressed.

Check out A Southern Panther: Conversations with Malik Rahim, the first book in our Legacy Left series of interviews with movement elders, to learn more about Malik’s lifetime of activism, starting with serving as the chair of the New Orleans Black Panther Party! www.akpress.org/a-southern-p...

"I always really felt Martin Sostre’s revolutionary optimism. The odds are against us, the power is against us, but that doesn’t make revolution impossible. And if you don’t believe it’s possible, you’re not going to win." —Garrett Felber on new Sostre bio from @akpress.org

@xandrewleex.bsky.social: "This might be the first time in U.S. history where the military is deployed domestically to do 'quality of life policing,' something that I’m calling 'military gentrification.'" truthout.org/audio/resist...

What does gentrification have to do with authoritarianism? I talked with @xandrewleex.bsky.social about how displacement, surveillance, and “quality of life” policing function as tools of social control—and why housing struggles are class struggles.

On this day in 1971, Black revolutionary George Jackson was assassinated in San Quentin Prison. He was a sharp critic of racial capitalism, prisons and the ruling class. He managed to smuggle out the manuscript of BLOOD IN MY EYE only days before he was murdered by prison guards. He was 29 yrs old.

OPD is attempting to expand its surveillance system to be able to easily integrate footage from public and private security cameras into one centralized database under the Flock system, a massive AI-powered tracking system that has been metastasizing across the country in the past two years. 1/x
