Welcome Home, Marius Mason! (USA)

That is Marius Mason, moments after being released from prison and en route to a halfway house! Marius’ sentence ends in May 2027 and he will be at the halfway house until then. Now is a great time to donate to his welcome home fund. See info below.

Who is Marius Mason?
Marius Mason  is an anarchist, environmental, animal rights activist as well as a loving parent, artist, poet, and musician, currently serving nearly 22 years in federal prison for acts of property damage carried out in defense of the planet.

He has fought tirelessly during his incarceration for trans prisoner rights.  Marius’ 2008 arrest was part of what has been subsequently termed the Green Scare, a series of environmental activist arrests based on snitching and FBI harassment of activists that set a precedent for charging non-violent activists with “terrorism.” Continue reading Welcome Home, Marius Mason!

We Gave Us This Day Our Daily Bread: Refusing Mamie Clafoutis’ Pain-opticon. (Canada)

In the spirit of all those May Day expropriations that came before, we entered Mamie Clafoutis’ St. Denis location and filled our bags this morning in total rejection of the encroaching gaze of surveillance and and the false gods of capitalism.

Partnering with retail tech startup Leav, Mamie Clafoutis boasts that it is “pioneering a new era of automated smart stores.” This is the beginning of the same Amazon Go model that has already infected other cities, praised by media as innovation. Registering with a facial scan on their app can get you the ‘privilege’ of buying bread 24/7 in these automated, cashless bakeries.

A comrade has been locked up in the maxi prison of Haren since November, on may 20 starts the theater of the state with the aim of silencing anarchist ideas.

Kyriakos X is sailing to Gaza.


Named in honour of internationalist anarchist Kyriakos Xymitiris, the boat ‘Kyriakos X’ is sailing with the Freedom Flotilla Coalition to break Israel’s genocidal blockade that the zionist state has imposed on Gaza for decades. In a testament to Kyriakos’s life, which he dedicated to fight for justice and for the oppressed, the boat also stands in solidarity with the legitimate resistance of Palestinian people, who never stopped fighting to end the colonialist occupation of their land.

On the 8th of May, Kyriakos X left the harbour with 33 other vessels of the Global Sumud Flotilla and met four other Freedom Flotilla Coalition boats at sea. The boat carries 10 people from five different countries, including Greece, Albania, the United Kingdom, Korea, France and Guadalupe. Continue reading Kyriakos X is sailing to Gaza.

A Rebel’s Memoirs: Going Underground

Eleven years ago, on April 28, 2015, the police launched a crackdown known as Operation Phoenix (Fénix). As a result, I later decided to go into hiding—that is, to live underground. The following text serves both as a memoir of that period and as a critical reflection on it.

Going Underground

In 2015, the authorities cracked down, and a lot happened in a relatively short period of time: Four anarchists in prison. Media propaganda scaremongering about terrorism. Raids on homes and at the community center. Confiscation of personal belongings. Being dragged through interrogation rooms. Intimidation, sowing discord, police surveillance. There was a lot going on, and taken together, it created enormous tension. At least for me, without a doubt. Continue reading A Rebel’s Memoirs: Going Underground →

Sabotage, Arsons Attacks

Mühldorf, Bavaria, Germany: Sabotage of the Munich-Freilassing railway

From Switch off, 18.03.26

On Tuesday afternoon, unknown persons set fire to cables in various points of the railway line connecting Mühldorf with Freilassing. The rail traffic on the line was consequently suspended. Police are assuming that the act is politically motivated and are looking for possible links with other cases of arson.

Passenger trains between Mühldorf and Freilassing suspended

According to the police headquarters of southern Upper Bavaria, an electrical fault had initially been detected. When the federal police checked the signalling system, they discovered burnt and molten cables inside the storm drains along various points in the railway tracks. The damage had clearly been done intentionally. The signalling systems had stopped functioning as a result of arson. All passenger trains between Mühldorf and Freilassing were therefore suspended.

(Thessaloniki) Poster as a sign of solidarity with the imprisoned comrades of May 11

On the morning of May 11, 2026, our anarchist comrades carried out an expropriation of a bank in Kato Tithorea. A few hours later, cops chased the comrades for several kilometers and then rounded them up. Home invasions followed, where the remaining comrades were arrested. The charges include both possession of weapons and involvement in robberies.

We consider it the responsibility of those who make up the anarchist space to politically and morally defend the choices of the comrades who have chosen these means of struggle, regardless of the hypothetical criticism we will receive from the “good” society. From the anarchist illegalists at the beginning of the 20th century to the metropolitan guerrilla in the here and now, the expropriation of resources from capital has been, is and will be a practice chosen by revolutionary movements. It is our duty to build a real wall of solidarity with our captive comrades as soon as possible. Until the total destruction of capital. Until Anarchy

TERRORISTS AND ROBBERS ARE THE STATES AND CAPITALISTS (Athens, Greece)

On the morning of May 11th, a bank branch in Kato Tithorea (Central Greece) was expropriated. A few hours later, 8 comrades were arrested following a simultaneous repressive operation by the police in the wider area and home invasions in Athens.

The Cop, the Neo-Nazi, and the Elephant

In 2022, we published 2,000 french and 2000 german copies of the first edition of our book “How to defend yourself during a police interrogation.” Since then, the content of our practical guide has continued to spread, taking many forms, such as a workshops we conduct, an “interrogation” supplement for the role-playing game Blade in the Dark and translations into English, and Spanish. The book has now also been reissued in French by Éditions du Commun under the title “A Short Guide to Self-Defense During Interrogations,” as well as an audiobook version, a radio spot, a self-print brochure version on infokiosques.net, and posters illustrating the “broken record” strategy.
In short, we’ve put a lot of effort to share our self-defense advice as widely as possible so that anarchists and other rebels can protect themselves against repression. And it’s not over yet, since translations into Arabic, Italian, and Danish are underway, and our door is always open to anyone who wants to help us to diffuse it or to reach other formats and linguistic-geographic areas.

(Greece) Anarchist prisoner Dimitris Chatzivasileiadis: Small Map

Small map

Introduction

This text was written at the outset of the collective hunger strike in British prisons against anti-Palestinian terrorism and militarism. Following the U.S. attack on Venezuela, certain points have been updated. The international revolutionary strategy of the global anarchist movement must be built—and can be built—only through international fronts of struggle, through the breaking down of borders, and through the redirection of military action toward the centers of monopoly.

 Postscript (at the time of publication of the text in greek)

By the time of publication, the attack by the fascist regime of Syria and the occupation of territories of the Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria had taken place, according to a U.S. plan and with the agreement of the Zionist and Turkish colonial powers. This was followed by the attack on Iran. These developments fully confirm the analytical perspective presented in this text.

DOG RESCUED FROM A HUNTING KENNEL. IN MEMORY OF KARL. 26th April, Castilla Spain.

“We rescued a 9-month-old dog, whose ears had been recently cut off and who was found with other dogs used for hunting in deplorable conditions. Among all the dogs in this kennel in Castilla (Spain), we decided to rescue her because of the breed she belongs to, the Argentine Dogo, which is used to bite wild boars and immobilize them so that the hunter can stab and kill the boar. This poses a very high risk, and the life expectancy of these dogs is very short.

A trusted veterinarian removed the chip, treated the wounds on her ears, and now she is in a home where she lives with other dogs. From the moment she arrived, she started playing with her new sisters. She is a very affectionate dog, and despite her appearance, she is not aggressive at all. She will never be exploited as a resource nor will she fall victim to speciesism.

Trial against Anarchist comrade in Leipzig in 12.05 (Berlin,Germany)

Trial against Anarchist comrade in Leipzig in 12.05

On May 12th and 2nd of June another „Tag X“ demonstration- trial against an anarchist comrade will take place at Amtsgericht Leipzig. The state attorney is accusing him of serious breach of peace, physical and aggravated assault of police officers in 18 cases and destruction of work equipment. This is not an isolated case, the upcoming trial is part of a collective accusation against several people. with a total of 1500 opened investigations on the whole weekend, 100 people having charges and another 100 still having open investigation.

In this specific case the accusation is based on photos published online taken by a photo journalist. The police believes that they can identify our comrade based on these photos with the help of a so called „super-recognizer“, a figure of dubious credibility. In the investigation „Tag X” the Leipzig police worked several times with these self-proclaimed „super recognizers“. These are police officers who present themselves as having superior recognition abilities to others, but who in reality are as subjective as anyone else. There is no scientific evidence of the existence of this „super-power“. Continue reading Trial against Anarchist comrade in Leipzig in 12.05 (Berlin,Germany) →
