A69 freeway: two arsons targeted the construction site, according to prime contractor Atosca

Ouest France, June 10, 2025

On Monday June 9, 2025, two fires destroyed bridge formwork on the A69 motorway construction site, according to Atosca, the main contractor and future operator for this disputed freeway.

“These are acts of vandalism that took place over the weekend, arson,” explained a company spokeswoman. She added that the fires had occurred on Monday morning, one in the commune of Vendine (Haute-Garonne) and the other in Teulat (Tarn). “These are formworks [around bridges under construction] that were completely destroyed by the flames, and this will force us to redo them”, she added, indicating that the company had “lodged a complaint”.

Athens, Greece: Comrades accused of ‘Conspiracy Vengeance/Armed Response’ case attempt escape from court by taking a cop’s gun

As expected, once again, the police-DAEB in collaboration with the corrupt judges did what they know best to do, to “cook”, to direct, to set up the trials and to get the result they want. Thus, with great audacity, the prosecutor Pappas Spyridon, within an hour, without any substantial arguments and a clear picture, “bagged” most of the accused, assigning to five of them the charge of 187A, that of terrorist organization.

A specific name often used by the state and the judiciary to suppress their enemies. In other words, those who chose to oppose social cannibalism, those who chose not to be slaves of the bosses, those who do not accept the few to rule the many, for a life of freedom. Freedom is a basic foundation of life, it is in the nature of human beings, let alone prisoners, to seek it. Thus, on Thursday 10/7, in the Loukareos courts, some of the accused chose the path to freedom, even at the risk of their own lives.

FUNDRAISER SHIRTS FOR ABC INDONESIA

Actforfree received and spreed:

We’re broke.
Job applications have become love letters that never get a reply—straight to the HR dumpster. Meanwhile, rent’s still due, and one of our friends urgently needs ongoing medical care.

After some hungry conversations over sachet coffee, we made a call: let’s sell t-shirts!
Not just to survive, but to help cover our friend’s treatment and slowly start working on the collective projects we’ve been dreaming of. Continue reading FUNDRAISER SHIRTS FOR ABC INDONESIA →

Traffic report from the Randstad (Netherlands)

In one of Europe’s most densely populated regions, the unceasing flow of traffic, along roads, tracks, pipelines and cables, is a prerequisite for the functioning of the mega machine that holds us all hostage, leaving only destruction in its wake. When the smooth functioning of this infrastructure breaks down, even for a few hours, it can have a cascading effect, interrupting the logistics required by the war machine, capitalism, and the state.

This past month traffic in the Randstad was a bit more chaotic than usual.

Major road closures aggravated the usual rush hour traffic; half of Amsterdam’s ring road was closed for the weekend of the 21/22 of June for an overhyped celebration of the city’s 750 year anniversary.

“From the life of a prisoner” – letter from the anarchist N. from the JVA Aichach (Germany)

“From the life of a prisoner” – letter from the anarchist N. from the JVA Aichach

Everything in this society in which we are forced to live, that makes life hostile and inhospitable, becomes visible in the place that it invented in order to remind all people, nonconformist or conformist alike, what awaits them if they step outside of the boundaries: prison. A place that acts instead of or in addition to execution: the death of time. Buried alive in a tomb until the day of resurrection; cut off from loved ones, the living world and our bodies’ natural impulse to move through the world freely. Reduced to a number in the smooth functioning of a machine; administered, surveilled, educated.

The first time one is trapped in this machine, one wonders how familiar everything is. There are those who say: “it isn’t punishment, it’s education.” And they are right. However, what they overlook is that our first encounter with prison isn’t when we are imprisoned. But rather that it is a part of our life from the very beginning: in kindergarten, school, in the hospital; later in the office, the factory, the barracks, in the retirement home. Categorized and sorted; accustomed to the ticking of the clock and the rhythm of the machine since childhood. Squeezed into concrete caves, cut off from the pulsing rhythm of life and death. Reduced to a function in the system, trained to measure the earth and its inhabitants according to the monetary value that can be squeezed out of them. Filled with ignorance or even disdain for all forms of subsistence and self organization.

The Return of Autonomous Demonstrations in Philadelphia, PA: Brief Notes on the Recent Anti-ICE Actions and A Response to the Socialists in the Partisan (USA)

June 20

The autonomous demonstration has returned to Philadelphia. On June 10th and June 14th respectively, two self organized autonomous demonstrations were called to fight back against ICE and in solidarity with the rebellion in Los Angeles. To read a better understanding of what went down, I recommend you read the Unicorn riot account (https://unicornriot.ninja/2025/philadelphia-police-crack-down-on-anti-ice-marches-twice-in-one-week/) and an article I have deep disagreements with (https://phillypartisan.com/2025/06/15/headless-courage-anti-ice-protests-vs-police-brutality/). Both give brief overviews of what happened at these demos.

As an older anarchist, I was glad to see younger comrades organizing against ICE in a militant fashion. It is a rare thing to see publicly organized autonomous demonstrations in the United States despite the fact that they are common in many other places like Latin America or Europe. Autonomous demonstrations are critical for real combative street movements. For over a decade, the activist/organizer culture has plagued Philadelphia’s street movements with their cowardice and liberalism.

Hungary: Maja’s statement on the end of her hunger strike

Maja’s statement on the end of her hunger strike

Dear people, dear comrades and people who support me,

My name is Maja. Since June 5, I have been on hunger strike [ see here ; Ed. ]. I started it to protest my illegal and unredressed extradition from Germany to Hungary a year ago, the repressive persecution of anti-fascists, the dubious legal proceedings with a pre-determined outcome, my solitary confinement, which continues to this day, and the inhumane conditions of detention in Hungarian jails. Now, after almost six weeks, I have decided to suspend my hunger strike.

I don’t want to continue abusing my health, because I feel that if I don’t turn around now, it will soon be too late. So, it wouldn’t do much good if my requests were met. I would be scarred for life, perhaps I already am. I never wanted to get to this point; I naively hoped that something as radical as the hunger strike would finally raise awareness among those in charge and all those who can change something, that they would take action, after a year of soothing statements, smiles, and ignorance.

Bouchemaine, Maine-et-Loire, France : Starry windows for Vinci!

Last week, the French state implemented a huge police detachment to carry out raids on undocumented persons.

After being rounded up these people were taken to various CRA – Administrative Detention Centres. Without these detention centres, its abhorrent policy with the exiles would be more difficult to carry out. Continue reading Bouchemaine, Maine-et-Loire, France : Starry windows for Vinci! →

Leipzig, Germany: Court attacked with pitch and butyric acid

The first instance court of Leipzig attacked with pitch and butyric acid – Maja must return!

Shortly after the start of the new week we went to give a nice surprise to the judges, prosecutors, and disgusting cops of the judicial police before they turned up for work next day. With the help of our extinguishers the entrance to their pretentious temple of violence was completely smeared in pitch and, through a hole that we made in a window pane at the entrance, enough butyric acid got into the building for the start of the week to be really stinking.

Solidarity with anti-fascist Maja T. and all antifa who are persecuted for their actions

The non-binary anti-fascist Maja T. is imprisoned in a Hungarian prison on charges related to an attack on fascists during anti-fascist rallies, which are held every year, against the “day of honour“ organized for the extermination of Nazi troops before the liberation of Budapest. Maja T., after a request from the Hungarian state, is extradited there, by the German state, and has been in solitary confinement, remanded in custody since then. On 5/6, she begins a hunger strike, fighting against the conditions of detention, against states, bosses and fascists, trying to unite her voice with all those who fight, rebel for a world of dignity, inclusion, freedom.

A few words about the Exarcheia riots on 12th April 2025 (Athens,Greece)

A few words about the Exarchia riots on 12th April 2025

In the evening of April 12th, we chose to confront the forces of repression in the streets of Exarchia. This conflict erupted in a climate of intense police presence in the neighbourhood by the state and attempts to instill fear among those who resist.

Exarchia constitutes an area claimed by the state and capital of all kinds (tourist-hotels, restaurants, bars, construction, housing-real estate, airbnb). By fast-track procedures, especially since ND has been at the helm of the state but also with increased acceleration from the covid and post-covid era, a relentless attack has been taking place on the characteristics of the place in an attempt to extirpate the fighting past of the movement, the insurrectional tradition and riots. Beyond the presence and attacks of the cops this is also carried out through territorial claims by the state with the eviction of the squats (in which SYRIZA was also a participant). This state/investors’ attack consists of the elements of repression toward the people in struggle, the displacement of anyone that ‘does not fit’ and cannot withstand the cost of housing and the establishing of a sterilized reality characterized by investment, over-consumption, surveillance, violent ‘touristification’, hipsterism, alternativism and police reppression.

Germany: Two years of Switch-Off – an evaluation

Two years of Switch-Off – an evaluation

April 2024

It has been two years since we first spoke. The call was made in the middle of the ongoing strategy debate in the climate movement. At that time, after Hambi, Danni and directly after Lützerath, the potential of mass actions seemed to have been exhausted for many. In the context of these and other climate protest and mass actions, we wanted to propose a project with a focus on decentralized and direct actions.

At this point in time, the view of and fear of the impending climate collapse made it clear to us that radical methods and an intensification of revolutionary practice within the climate movement were urgently needed.

We formulated anti-state, autonomous, anarchist perspectives on sabotage and wanted to incorporate these more strongly.

In terms of content, we focused on an anti-colonial and technology-critical analysis. We were inspired by indigenous struggles and their practices resisting against (neo-)colonial exploitation and the destruction of their territories. Colonial exploitation is not only part of the racist ideological history of the West, but continues to be part of the economic and imperialist expansion efforts of large corporations such as Deutsche Bahn with the Tren Maya megaproject. With our analysis and call, we stood in solidarity with international struggles. In the ongoing destruction of the earth, we saw the necessity of attacking industrial infrastructures and the possibilities of a strengthening international points of reference in these struggles.

Berlin (Germany): 36 vehicles of war profiteers go up in smoke

DE: (B) Antimilitaristischer Angriff auf Militärkollaborateure Amazon und Telekom

FR: Berlin (Allemagne) : 36 véhicules de profiteurs de guerre partent en fumée

36 vehicles of war profiteers go up in smoke

[Note of Sans Nom: On the night of Monday to Tuesday, June 17, thirty-six vans belonging to war profiteers Telekom and Amazon went up in smoke in Berlin: 17 of the former’s vehicles in the Lichtenberg district, and 19 of the latter’s in the Britz district, within minutes of each other at around 3am. Here’s a translation of the communiqué on this anti-militaristic attack, which appeared on de.indymedia the same day]. Translated by Act for freedom now!

Anti-militaristic attack on army collaborators, Amazon and Telekom

Last night, several vans belonging to Amazon and Telekom were set on fire in the south (Britz district) and east (Lichtenberg district) of Berlin. Neither fences nor cameras were able to prevent anti-militarists from attacking these two army collaborators. Both companies benefit enormously from widespread militarization and wars. That’s why it’s appropriate to sabotage them.

Instead of a champagne reception, we chose to celebrate the opening of Amazon-Tower with the carcasses of burned out cars. But we don’t find this hideous building to be sickening only because of its impact on the neighborhood, but also because of all the other dirty tricks up the tech giant’s sleeve, and especially because of its active participation in war and genocide. Amazon’s servers and Cloud Services are used by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) to store the huge amounts of data resulting from mass surveillance of the Palestinian population. With its subsidiary, Amazons Web Services (AWS), Amazon is one of the IDF’s partners. In 2021, AWS, Google and Microsoft signed contracts for the IDF to use their servers (Project Nimbus). Since the Israeli invasion and the complete destruction of the Gaza Strip that has resulted, the IDF needs much greater computing capacity to employ its military AI programs (Lavender, Where’s Daddy?).

BLACK AUGUST
Call for a month of action and propaganda by comrades Lupi, Tortuga, and Belén

Almost a year ago, death took three brave warriors from this plane within days of each other—each with their own unique experiences, perspectives, and contributions to the anti-authoritarian struggle, united by their passage through the illegalist offensive against the world of power and its accomplices.

To our kindred, to the anonymous insurgents wherever they may be, to those who, through ideas and practices antagonistic to power, continue resisting every chant of defeat: This is a call to connect with the comrades through their contributions, writings, and actions. It is an invitation to know them, recognize them, and engage in dialogue through action.

(Netherlands ) Animal Liberation Front attacks slaughterhouse.

In early hours of 10th June 2025 the Animal Liberation Front carried out an attack on Slaughterhouse Plukon in Oosterblokker, Netherlands. 9 chicken transportation trucks and one van were completely burned down. (via: https://indymedia.nl/node/55854)

Factory manager Erlend Beltman reports to De Telegraaf (media) that he suspects arson and points to a freshly sprayed logo of the radical action group Animal Liberation Front (ALF) on the dumpster next to the fire.

The damage is estimated at more than 2 million euros. Plukon said they are investigating how they can restore logistics and limit the impact on their transportation and killing of chickens. At the time of the fire, the site was deserted.
