Happy birthday, Leon Czolgosz! (May 5, 1873) :antifa_100:

Born into a class Polish-American family and hailing from Detroit, Leon Czolgosz began working at a young age, taking factory jobs in the heartland of American industry. Exposed to labor through strikes at the factories where he worked, Czolgosz began exploring socialism and eventually turned to , although his shy and awkward nature made it difficult to form connections with other radicals, who assumed he was a police agent. He did make the acquaintance of prominent anarchist Emma , and after learning of the assassination of King Umberto I of Italy, Czolgosz came to agree with the anarchist philosophy of “propaganda of the deed,” the use of , including the targeted killing of and leaders, to serve as example and inspiration. Czolgosz put this philosophy into action on September 6, 1901, when he killed President William McKinley with a concealed pistol. He was executed for the murder, but remained steadfast and unapologetic. Contemporary reaction to Czolgosz actions among the radical left was mixed, but among the modern left he has attained the status of a veritable folk hero.

“I killed the President because he was the enemy of the good people, the good working people. I am not sorry for my crime.”

It's easy to have bleak feelings on Labor Day. The struggle seems futile sometimes. Endless. Enemies powerful beyond all reason. And yet our greatest hope for a better future I believe begins with mass labor organizing. A living/evolving template for direct action. We need this now, more than ever, as our political system unravels.

MELBOURNE/NAARM, TZW. AUSTRALIA: TYRE EXTINGUISHERS WYŁĄCZAJĄ Z GRY SETKI SUVÓW NA NAJBOGATSZYM PRZEDMIEŚCIACH MIASTA

czarnateoria.noblogs.org/gener

"SUV-y są niepotrzebne: Trzy czwarte tych pojazdów terenowych jest sprzedawanych mieszkańcom miast. Istnieją one wyłącznie dla próżności ich właścicieli, którzy postrzegają je jako symbol statusu. Ze względu na tę próżność i konsumpcję pogarszają się zmiany klimatyczne, oddychamy zanieczyszczonym powietrzem i więcej osób ginie w wypadkach."

PNW Fur Industry Farms, Successful Midwest Actions

"The fur industry in the Pacific Northwest is a shell of what it once was. ... Only 5 fur farms remain in Oregon today, down from 18 in 2007. The fur farmers cite direct action, aging facilities, aging operators, and low pelt prices as the reasons.

The five farms that remain in operation are: ..."

"This is an industry incredibly vulnerable to attack. 2022 saw over 15,000 mink liberated from fur farms in Ohio and Michigan, with the second largest fur farm in the U.S., Lion Farms, closing as a result."

Kicking any developers out of the once they've destroyed & built stuff would be just about impossible. But slowing them down long enough for investigations and courts to move could happen.

Who is working on slowing them down? What does that effort need?

(Or did Ford buy off the OLT too?)

Direct action feels great :3

I've been waiting almost three months for some electrician to replace my (dead)name tag on the buzzer. Building manager keeps "reminding" them and nothing happens.

So I've figured out the model number, found the manual, learned the procedure, and just did it myself 🖕

(in like 5 minutes)

And now that I've aquired this “skill”, I can help others with the same issue.

BERLIN, NIEMCY: PODPALENIE AUTA NALEŻĄCEGO DO NISZCZYCIELA ŚRODOWISKA ZÜBLIN

czarnateoria.noblogs.org/gener

"Nasza akcja miała miejsce w dzielnicy, która w ostatnich latach została całkowicie przekształcona na korzyść nowych elit miejskich. Nocny trzask ich pojazdów ma być częścią niepokojącej muzyki w tle pracowników Züblin, Amazon, DB & Co, kiedy chcą zregenerować siły w swoich nowych, fantazyjnych apartamentach na kolejny produktywny dzień pracy."

HAMBURG, NIEMCY: ZA NAHELA I WSZYSTKICH INNYCH. PODPALENIE PRYWATNEGO SAMOCHODU POLICJANTA

"Nie-biali ludzie w białym społeczeństwie są znacznie częściej dotknięci śmiertelną policyjną przemocą niż biali. Ale wykluczeni społecznie, uzależnieni od narkotyków, chorzy psychicznie lub ludzie, którzy nie pochodzą z konserwatywnej klasy średniej, częściej odczuwają policyjną przemoc."

Patriot Front & Michigan’s Troubled Future

"Patriot Front was most active in Massachusetts, Texas, and Michigan this year. We rank third in activity in their hate campaign. ... Active opposition and rejection of their ethnonationalist ideology, on the ground, is not only needed but principally necessary."
