"US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has long been a magnet for controversy over its cruel treatment of migrants. But there’s another, potentially more alarming reason to worry about it: ICE has slowly transformed into a vast domestic spying agency that could easily be turned on the American people, whether citizens, documented, or undocumented."

"We are The Tyre Extinguishers.
We are people from all walks of life with one aim: To make it impossible to own a huge polluting 4x4 in the world’s urban areas. We are defending ourselves against climate change, air pollution and unsafe drivers.
We do this with a simple tactic: Deflating the tyres of these massive, unnecessary vehicles, causing inconvenience for their owners."
New episode just dropped! We speak with 3 anarchists behind Escaping Tomorrow's Cages, a six-part essay about the coming wave of prison expansion in Ontario and a proposal for how these projects might be opposed.

Police in #Atlanta made brutal arrests this weekend as hundreds - including pre-school students - marched against #CopCity. Today as police attempted to evict tree-sitters while promoting tired claims of "outside agitators," one local resident fires back. https://itsgoingdown.org/on-many-fronts-why-one-atlanta-resident-is-fighting-to-stop-cop-city/
We've prepared a zine version of "The City in the Forest," our overview of the fight to defend the forest in Atlanta against a proposed police compound.

Correction: During the production of this episode we were working with the most up to date information at the time when we had said nobody had died at the May Day protests in Chile. Unfortunately we have since learned that Francisca Sandoval, a journalist age 29 died several days later in the hospital. Our condolences go out to her family and loved ones. We're sincerely sorry for any confusion or grief this error may have caused.

« D’après les éléments fournis par ses collègues et confrères présents sur place au moment des faits et le récit de témoins oculaires, Shirine Abou Akleh a perdu la vie après avoir été sciemment visée au visage par un sniper israélien alors qu’elle se trouvait aux abords du camp de réfugiés de Jénine où elle avait été dépêchée avec son équipe. »
« Je me demande comment tu te sens après cette semaine haute en émotions. Je suis allé prendre une marche au terrain vague et je me suis aperçu que quelqu’un avait scié le poteau avec la caméra!

In this analysis, we discuss why this assault is happening now—what it means in a global context—and how we can resist.
