Abolish ICE, sure, but slavery is still legally enshrined in your constitution. More trans people will still be enslaved in prison.

Black Scare in Asia: Governments blame “anarchists” for mass discontent Simoun Magsalin @freedompress.bsky.social SEP 25, 2025 'Popular uprisings in the Philippines, Nepal and Indonesia need no help to be leaderless' freedomnews.org.uk/2025/09/25/b...

True love is possible only in the next world — for new people. It is too late for us.

With regards to the “legitimate” struggle of the Maoist insurgency in the current corruption crisis: You can't fight corruption in the boondocks—in the peripheries. Capital and the state have to be challenged and overturned in the centrality of social life.

Those who voted and cheered for the genocidaires and who cop-jacketed the Mendiola detainees should absolutely not be mourning Assata Shakur right now.

Abd and his family desperately need to escape this nightmare and find a place where his baby and family can grow up without fear. But the cost of relocating to a safe place is beyond them. Any help you can offer will bring them closer to a safer future. chuffed.org/project/1506...

Zines as Material World “Zines humbly remind us that cyberlife, all-too-real in terms of its impacts, isn’t actually a life—or life. Simple pieces of paper can unfold into something of our own creation that exists even if the power grid goes down.” @cindymilstein kolektiva.social/@cbmilstein/...

Probably the only poem I memorized: "Love is contraband in Hell, cause love is an acid that eats away bars. But you, me, and tomorrow hold hands and make vows that struggle will multiply. The hacksaw has two blades. The shotgun has two barrels. We are pregnant with freedom. We are a conspiracy."

Update, some of the kids are out but some are still in there! Some of ex-detainees still need medical attention due to torture received. Others on the inside may still need bail.

Here's another take from Indonesia on the black scare. magdalene.co/story/will-a...

Good take on the black scare stuff

NEW 🇮🇩 Indonesia’s small but active anarchist community has become the go-to bogeyman for governments seeking to justify crackdowns. The scapegoating of anarchists has meanwhile undermined the unity and political impact of anti-oligarchic protest movements. www.newmandala.org/whos-afraid-...

@/tambisansasining cut on the second battle of Mendiola.

News from the Mendiola detainees: Lots of Filipinos are providing support. One such support was the provision of meals to detainees, but it turns out the meals were despoiled by the police before given to the illegally detained.

Today the symbol of rebellion is the straw-hat pirate. But it is the fear of *amok masa*, the fear of anarchy itself, that declares to the world insurrection and revolution is still possible. freedomnews.org.uk/2025/09/25/b...

Report on the disbursements!

Many of the illegally detained minors have been freed!

Sa ngayon, mula sa natanggap na ₱818,114.90 ay nakapag bahagi na ng ₱84,125.00. May natitira pang ₱733,989.90. Patuloy kaming makikipag-ugnayan sa mga pamilya ng detainees hanggang sa mapalaya at masuportahan ang lahat.

Nakapagpamahagi na tayo ng mga donasyon sa mga pamilya ng ilang mga detainees, kabilang ang ibang mga nakalaya na, para sa kanilang mga gastos pampagamot, pamasahe, nawalang sahod, pagkain at iba pang pangangailangan.

[UPDATE 26 September 2025, 12:00PM] Pinalaya na ang ilan sa mga illegally detained na menor de edad gaya ni Jasper na nasa larawang ito. Sa tinatayang bilang na ~277 na inaresto noong September 21, marami pa din ang 'di pa pinapalaya, kabilang ang ilang mga menor de edad.

Once you understand the self-abolition of the proletariat, you'll never stop wanting to beat programmatism to death with your bare hands.

“This “black scare” mimics many features with the Indonesian genocide of 1965–66 that saw the massacre of the Communist Party of Indonesia (PKI) and their mass bases, the methodology of which is sometimes known as the “Jakarta Method” from the book by the same name.” 1.

There is a rumor going about that the traffic light destroyed in the riot had a sonic weapon for crowd control. However, I don't care if the traffic light wasn't weaponized with a sonic weapon. It was still justified.

Transparency report for the Mendiola detainees.

Transparency report

Sa ngayon, waiting pa tayo sa inquest dahil walang pasok ang gobyerno ngayon dahil sa bagyo. Dun namin inaasahan ang malaking gastos sa pyansa (bail) na sa estima namin ayon sa mga kausap na abogado na papatak ng P300k kada isang dinakip.

[UPDATE 02:45 PM, SEP 24, 2025] Salamat sa mga nag-share at magsha-share ng donation post, at sa mga nag-donate at magdo-donate. As of writing this comment, ito po ang unofficial tally ng mga na-receive at na-disburse namin.

William Dafoe apparently participated in the EDSA Uno 1986 People Power Revolution when he was in the country for some boring ass Vietnam war film. “You know, I'm something of a revolutionary myself.”

Lotsa leftists calling the Mendiola detainees as “anarchists,” more than 200 of them, 90 of them minors. The urban poor youth do not have recognizable ties to left/post-left groupings. Rather, this use of “anarchist” as a slur reflects a global trend of a black scare, most notably US and Indonesia.

In Nepal, protests earlier this month culminated with the toppling of the government. To get a clearer understanding of the background of the insurrection and the dynamics within it, we interviewed Black Book Distro, an anarchist collective and library in Kathmandu. crimethinc.com/Nepal2025

Please help urban poor youth being repressed by the Marcos Jr. regime!

3pm sa tapat ng Manila Police District ay magkakaroon din ng indignation rally para sa mga kayang lumahok ngayong araw. Imbis na ang mga kurakot at bwakaw sa pamahalaan, inuna pang arestuhin ang ating mga kababayan. Suportahan natin ang mga mamamayang dinakip at kinulong ng marahas na pulis!

Habang rumeresponde ang mga abugado’t mga organisasyon sa paghahanap sa mga dinakip, ng paraang mapalaya sila, at iugnay ulit ang mga pamilya, maaari natin silang bigyan ng tulong na pinansyal para sa mga bayaring ligal, pagkain, atbp.

[Mutual aid request, Defend the Mendiola Protesters] Higit 100 na mamamayan ang dinampot ng kapulisan kahapon sa Maynila pagkatapos ng kilos-protesta sa Luneta, kasama na ang higit 50 na menor de edad.

DEFEND THE DETAINEES FROM MENDIOLA. The government is fiercely repressing urban poor youth (including minors), threatening them with very long prison sentences while denying them access to lawyers and human rights watchers. #TrillionPesoMarch #BahaSaLuneta

Crackdown on protesters in the Philippines -- link for support ko-fi.com/duriandistro

From earlier today. Thousands of protesters from Luneta Park (the main protest site) fill the streets of Mendiola amid the presence of state forces. They chanting "ikulong na yan, mga kurakot!" Video via Tinig ng Plaridel (student news outlet of UP College of Media and Communication)

Large anti corruption protests in the Philippines are underway. Triggered by deadly floods which exposed $2billion lost to corruption in flood defence projects some of which didn't exist at all. www.rappler.com/philippines/... And a familiar flag is being flown at the protests.

On the events during today's mobilization: Remember, a real one NEVER denounces spontaneous direct action. Anything less is demoralization of our class and is cop-shit. Will be circulating repression support when it becomes available.

As one of late-diagnosed, fully agree...That recognition had made a difference for me. -- From Dr. Jen Wolkin on FB: It’s not 🚀science! People aren’t “suddenly developing #ADHD.” We’re finally seeing it. Naming it. Measuring it. Diagnosis isn’t invention. It’s recognition.

One of the key ways you refuse to comply with fascism is by becoming even louder and more fearless in supporting vulnerable people. You SHOW that you are unwilling to throw the "undesirables" under the bus if only for self-preservation because under fascism you will also become undesirable one day.

You cannot "bargain" with fascists. I think that everyone should refuse to do this and also to stop supporting people who do this.
