Cops shutting down an #independentNews outlet in the #USA?

Maybe we should #protest for the rights of all #journalists including #JulianAssange, still in prison for helping reveal #warCrimes and abuses of power?

A stark reminder that using anonymising systems like #I2P and #Tor is vital in delivering #news in today's age of #massSurveillance and #corporateTotalitarianism.

This week graduate students and a postdoc at UC San Diego got arrested and charged with 'vandalism' and 'conspiracy' for a labor protest. They wrote with chalk and washable paint about the fact that the University has not paid them enough as dictated by the union contract and table talk. The University, specifically the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, changed their appointment percentage from 50% to 43% in order to avoid giving them a raise.

Here is a local news article about it: https://www.kpbs.org/news/local/2023/06/30/uc-san-diego-student-workers-arrested-after-allegations-of-conspiracy-and-vandalism

They are gathering signatures on this petition:
https://www.change.org/p/tell-uc-to-drop-their-charges-against-protesting-workers

Please share it widely!

A couple weeks ago, the university leveled student conduct violations against grad students who staged a protest at an alumni event about the same labor violations from the university, and other similar issues. They accused the students of assaulting the chancellor and threatening health and safety, when the action was completely nonviolent. The student conduct process is still ongoing...

In summary, the university's retaliation is very overpowered compared to the modest demands and peaceful demonstrations from the grad student and postdoc workers.

Moreover, this is another reminder that the cops are not your friends, no matter how nicely you behave.

Tomorrow is the second bond hearing for the nearly two-dozen people snatched by cops from a music festival in Weelaunee Forest on March 6, jailed ever since, and charged with “domestic terrorism” for caring about this planet and all of its inhabitants. May our hearts and solidarity be with all the arrestees and their many loved ones and supporters on what may be an extra stressful day.

Defend the codefendants.

Defend the earth.

From a dramaturgical perspective, Tim Walz’s response to the #TyreNicholsVideo is a performance that @bullycreative undermines.

As Malcolm X said in a 1964 speech, “you can’t have capitalism without racism.”

We don’t need videos.

As the Ayotzinapa 43 families have been saying since 2014, after 43 beloveds in Iguala, Guerrero, were disappeared and likely murdered, including by police, “We want them back alive.”

Meaning: they never should have been killed.

We shouldn’t need videos to somehow prove that we want every single person murdered-by-cop to be alive. That their names should still be spoken to them, here in this world. That each and every person assassinated by police was loved and lovable, and never deserved that kind of death.

We shouldn’t need videos as evidence that there are no good cops.

The proof is in the grieving people left behind, the uprisings fueled by rage and sorrow, the abolitionist and stop cop cities/academies organizing and direct action, the myriad forms of solidarity, the murals and tags on urban walls, the DIY altars.

“We want them back alive.”

For that to have full meaning, we want and need and fight for a world without police.

[Part 1 of 2]

[Update: Although fascists and unfriendly media have already publicly shared the defendants’ names, there isn’t consensus among those doing jail support on our side about whether to further circulate the names. So until a consensus emerges, and one based on the defendants’ wishes, I’ve deleted their names here, and urge you not to share them publicly. There’s now a workaround, though! Send your postcards to P.O. Box 5390, Atlanta, GA 30307, attn: Atlanta Books to Prisoners and they’ll get sent from there to the defendants!]

If trees could talk, they wouldn’t talk to police.

Or, for many of us, since we know that trees can and do talk in various ways, we’re sure that they would never, ever talk to the police. Especially since many of those cops want to cut them down!

We also know that trees can and do lend solidarity aplenty, whether to the ecosystems of which they are a part, those humans who sit with them, or by nonconsensually giving up their lives and limbs to be turned into paper for, say, postcards.

The trees’ sacrifice doesn’t have to be in vain. Postcards, too, can lend solidarity, and in defense of the trees and, particularly right now, those humans who are forest defenders.

This week, six folks were arrested in Weelaunee Forest on the stolen lands now called DeKalb County, Georgia, as police cracked down hard on @defendatlantaforest and @stopcopcity. They were charged with “domestic terrorism” and then denied bond.

The trees know, as we also do, that protecting forests—including by gathering in them to make and share food, engage in sacred rituals, offer and learn skills, play music and dance, and assorted other communal, life-giving activities—is the exact opposite of those charges, and that trees and people should be free.

For now, that forest (and all trees, no doubt) and those who are doing on-the-ground jail support in the Atlanta area are asking for all of us to send postcards to the six jailed forest defenders. (Scroll through the infographics here for exact instructions.)

Each postcard will not only bring care and comfort to the six forest defenders who are likely going through a range of hard/scary/stressful emotions and times but is also an implicit #ACAB to the cops and courts.

Somehow, if those postcards that used to be trees could talk, I suspect they’d glad to be bearers of solidarity—but remember, make sure your postcards don’t inadvertently talk to the cops either (again, read the instructions here carefully!).

Domestic terrorism is running rampant in the United States. Wondering why? Might be related to the reason cops show up en masse to violently arrest and murder peaceful protestors while ignoring, at *best*, explicit death threats being leveled at queer events across the country.

.
.
.

Still unsure why? It's because law enforcement organizations are themselves domestic terror groups.

Freedom of movement is a fundamental human right, whether our oppressors choose to acknowledge it or not.

No borders, no nations, no deportations.

No person is illegal.
