Honestly, Angelenos: Everyone hates LAPD helicopters. Everyone. Point out that they're using the choppers the way ICE is patrolling and you will do a helluva lot to shift attitudes across the city. Point out that over 90% of calls those helicopters are on don't require them -- by LAPD's own data

Besided the fact Obama pioneered the separating families & concentration camps policy, it is very telling that these folks do not see the act of deportation as violence or a death sentence, as if poor, persecuted, working people could be uprooted & discarded without anything bad happening to them.

I miss bbyanarchists.

Mark Vallen was someone who would often have his illustrations hung up at local punk shows organized by Los Angeles anarcho-punk collective, Alternative Gathering Collective, in the 90s into the 2000s. he was part of the original early 70's punk scene here too. markvallen.com/biography/

I’ve seen a lot of ppl erroneously claiming this is the product of US Christian groups exporting legislation. It’s not. This is the product of the pro-statehood PNP party fearing its religious conservative base will dilute in favor of joining the new Christian right-wing party Proyecto Dignidad.

"Heat" (1995) is a romance between two men mediated by crime.

They're easily the most popular political actions of the past 10 years here. Radicals elsewhere should take note. Anarchists argued for expropriative means in place of campaigns that have been unable to resonate in which activists hid their true beliefs behind social-democratic goals and methods.

We've heard variations on the thesis that the best counter-recruitment moves against the far right are concrete responses to capitalist dispossession—actions that resonate with people's anger at elites. Two MTL grocery store robberies since December with redistribution of the loot fit the bill.

deleted the quote post but seriously folks, anarchists still need to get a better grasp of what capitalism is, what it does and how to get out.

need to check in on Cuadernos de Negación to see wussup with shit popping off in Argentina. my most trusted source in the region. nothing new since 2025 but this looks relevant and interesting. libcom.org/article/less...

it's #tbt. does anyone have a photo of a banner that reads "U.S. OUT OF NORTH AMERICA" from the 90s? maybe early 00s. it's an old slogan i always liked although of course 'North America' is a settler term.

CrimethInc claims that your friend group is already an affinity group, but this is very wrong, and potentially dangerous. We all know that a friend doesn't necessarily make a good housemate. You have to figure out in practice your differences as well as your similarities to create an affinity group.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

" fight against being ass " is a slogan for these times.

"Fight against being ass" is a message that more people need to receive, tbh

finally looked into upscr0lled and im good. i hate video-based social media.

The worst mass shootings in Canadian history were done by a cis misogynist, a cis islamophobe and a cis possible RCMP informant. Never forget.

I can sum up my skepticism of many of the "modern-day examples of anarchism" which left-anarchists often cite this way: they often may reproduce the forms of organization which anarchists prefer, but the full content of the relations is still held up by exchange, money, property & work.

"Both the means of production and consumption goods must be expropriated and put at the disposal of the whole community." The Abolition of Property, by Marie Louise Berneri (1944), from ‘War Commentary: For Anarchism’

"Experts and witnesses attributed this phenomenon to Israel’s systematic use of internationally prohibited thermal and thermobaric weapons, often referred to as vacuum or aerosol bombs, capable of generating temperatures exceeding 3,500 degrees Celsius [6,332 degrees Fahrenheit]."

After a federal judge banned the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) from using 40mm foam projectile launchers in crowd-control settings, the LAPD replaced the 40mm with another “less-lethal” launcher: the FN303. The full story: lataco.com/lapd-fn303-j... By @shoton35mm.bsky.social

fuck i hate how often tracking down radical events involves trying to jump over the walled-garden of Instagram. POST SHIT ELSEWHERE TOO PLZZZZ.

To Smash A Fascist, better book title.

"“Ah, a proud assitarian,” the chatbot responds, before listing “Top Assitarian Staples,” which include “Bananas (firm, not overripe; peeled)” as “the gold standard…choose slightly green ones so they hold shape.” [It] also suggests cucumbers & provides a “...diagram for carving a flared base.”

Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.** He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

one day we will play the funniest joke on these ghouls.

it's strange to see arguments saying, "how is x-argument radical, it's the moderate position" bcuz it is an obvious retreat from radicalism, a respectability politic. from "be reasonable, demand the impossible" to "what we want is not that much, so don't confuse us with those demanding radicals."

There's no contradiction between being a huge multicultural multilingual country and being a white ethnostate. Look at Israel and Canada (which are in part reflections of the US), they're both at the same time. Nations and states aren't the same thing, otherwise 'nation-state' would be redundant.

A female gray wolf was spotted in Los Angeles County over the weekend. This marks the first documented wolf in the area in at least a century. With an estimated 60 wolves currently living in CA, her presence offers real hope for the continued return of wolves to the state. 🔗 https://bit.ly/403A8Yk

hearing ads on Spanish-language radio for ICE, threatening undocumented listeners, is just fucking evil.
