As ICE stormed cannabis farms in Ventura County, California, in July, community members rushed to protest. Among them was Jonathan Caravello, a 37-year-old philosophy lecturer at California State University. Today, he faces a federal felony charge that could send him to prison for up to 20 years.
😂 Me rio para no llorar...
People for some reason have so much difficulty with this.
Donnez des sous, merci.
Un film pour visibiliser l’antifascisme en France, porté par celles et ceux qui le vivent. Réalisé par le Comité Antifa de Saint Etienne ! www.helloasso.com/associations...
"Según los abogados de la Gremial que lo representan, Nico está bien, todo lo bien que puede estar una persona detenida por haber hecho publicaciones en Instagram, por tener bufandas con consignas políticas o por acompañar a jubilados y jubiladas en las marchas..."
Those of us who want to see the leap from riot to insurrection, to see this long, hot season stretch into an endless summer will need to find ways to contribute to this unfolding. This is often quite simple. One way in which anarchists make themselves useful is by holding onto the memory of lessons learned in previous struggles and experiments.

The reference is to the case of the killing of French neo-Nazi activist Quentin Deranque.

But any means is valid in the sensationalist campaign of criminalization & stigmatization of dissent.
A vulgar & cynical attack on free expression, considering the president of Argentina is constantly posting violent fantasies of harm & death against his perceived political enemies on social media.
Police images from the raid display a collection of fanzines, buttons, & other design elements-- together with weapons & ammunition. The prominent images of the weapons obscure what is barely a buried footnote in the press articles: they are replicas.
The journalist sets the sights, the cops pull the trigger.
A few days ago the "Ministry of National Security" raided the home of an antifascist graphic designer. He remains in detention & is accused of "public threats & intimidation" for a design of his reading "death to the enemies of the people."
Things are not going well down here.
Last week, towards the end of the demonstration, a few people hurled Molotovs at the police line. They were quickly identified, their faces blasted across newspapers and TV screens, & promptly arrested.
The bureaucratic mainstream union couldn't be bothered to do more than call for a 24 hour general strike-- without even calling for an accompanying mobilization. Today, as well as on the day of the debate in the house, the union, grassroots, & left-wing party mobilization was discreet at best.
The "libertarian" labor reform is about to become law in Argentina, likely in the next few hours. It erases almost 100 years of concessions gained through struggle-- 12 hour workday, payments can be made in food, grave limitations on strikes & collective bargaining.
This never gets old...
Há 25 anos ocorreu a revolta de 2001 na Argentina, que derrubou o governo e testemunhou a disseminação de assembleias de bairro e a ocupação de fábricas por trabalhadores.

[THREAD 🧶] Pour @blast-info.fr, j'ai enquêté avec Thierry Vincent sur la mort de Quentin.
Le déroulé des faits, le profil de Quentin ainsi que le contexte de violence de l'extrême-droite à Lyon racontent une autre histoire que celle qu'on entend partout.

Our top story, from @stevanzetti.bsky.social: Wearing black, owning zines, using the encrypted messaging app Signal. The broader constitutional rights of left-wing activists may hang in the balance as the government builds its "antifa conspiracy."
Avec le temps, quand le FN prendra le pouvoir, on se dira que la Jeune Garde ont été les premiers résistants.
Somewhere between political organization & street gang, they were not without shortcoming & controversies, but their legacy remains critical history.

For their audacity, their explicit rejection of "scene" codes, their uncompromising stance, & their refusal to sacrifice political clarity for the sake of antifascism.

Excited that I can finally share the existence of this upcoming book about Swedish revolutionary antifascist organization "Revolutionary Front," for which I had the honor of writing the preface. RF was a standout in the history of antifascist organizing.

We did an interview with DIY Conspiracy discussing history & present of LCDB, Latam's only explicitly antifascist sporting & social club- as well as Argentina's broader political context today & how it relates to the social, political, & cultural work of the club.

Just answered, sorry about the delay!
Part 2 of my, shockingly thorough, conversation with @workingclasshistory.com about all things Argentina, with particular emphasis on the anti-neoliberal uprising of December 2001.

NEW INTERVIEW 🚩
“They were mothers and grandmothers that were picking up weapons. There were wounded fighters still in their wheelchairs that were creating military units and were declaring their preparation to fight.
It is a full mobilization.”
"Corporate citizen." What a country.
