Eighteen years ago today an anti-war convergence of over 5,000 people took place in the Oakland neighborhood of #Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Near the end of the permitted demonstration, a large black bloc formed and marched through the city in the middle of a blizzard, smashing the glass door of a military recruitment center. #anarchisthistory

Hundreds of people flooded #Tacoma streets last night after police ran over people during a sideshow. People set up barricades, broke windows, marched on the jail, and wrote graffiti slogans.

The building was vandalized with anti-police, anti-State, anti-colonization slogans and the windows of the front entrance were smashed in.

On January 18 30+ anti-racists attacked the Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in San Francisco.

San Francisco: Nancy Pelosi had a wake up call.

Seems to becoming a more common practice to deliver a message at politicians homes.

Next time people wanna talk identity politics, you can gladly remind them how stupid a reductionist look at the world is. Because in an era of black revolt, every identity category, except white men voted more right than they did four years ago. This is all to say race + gender ≠ comrade. See you in the daycare co-op, in the streets, in the propaganda basement, and in the million ways to support a classless, free society.

...and this is why we have our own platform.

Special Election PSA:

A must read, though if you've got a big heart it may cause 😭.

"and yes Michael, you did the same, when in protecting both yourself and your friend, you brought to reality the chant, otherwise carelessly echoed, that "No Lives Matter Until Black Lives Matter".

Such a conversion of words into deeds inherently involves a fundamental transformation of the self. This is what Benjamin meant when he said that it is more about what is done to the doer than to the victim."

Philip Anderson, a one of the fascist rally leaders, punched by counter protester before the rally started. Proud boys pushed back into barricaded area at UN Plaza in SF. #ProudBoys #SanFrancisco

San Francisco- hundreds of locals ran a tiny rally of extreme right wingers out of the city!!! The counter protest was organized autonomously by local black and brown radicals as well as other militant accomplices. The fash showed up, got chased, punched and then had their speeches drowned out and were escorted out of the city by the SFPD while hundreds held down the Bay.
