SOUTH LONDON TO L.A.

LONG LIVE THE UPRISING

LET’S SPREAD THE REVOLT – FREEDOM FOR ALL!

Over the last weeks a great uprising has begun in Los Angeles.

People, beyond all categories, have risen up and with their rage, courage and creativity driven back, for a moment, the military and police henchmen of the American Democracy.

Why? Because those with power are fighting a war against the people who they ruthlessly exploit to get ever richer. ‘Immigration roundups’  snatch anyone who they think they can victimise into vehicles destined for prison camps and deportation.

The people in rebellion in LA decided to act, decided not to take this mass-kidnapping lying down.

What about us in South London?

Every day glass towers are being built to surround us while immigration raids target the people who get up at 4am to hoover them.

Every day we are crushed in the name of the bosses’ ‘progress’: squeezed, harassed, robbed, exhausted, and finally evicted and thrown out.

The multinational AECOM, running construction for the 2028 LA Olympics, in preparation for which the cops are now ‘cleaning up’ LA with bloody persecutions, is the same company who are designing the Elephant and Castle station expansion (serving the luxury developments) and the proposed Bakerloo line extension, for which we are currently being ‘cleaned up’ under the assumption that we won’t fight back.

Let us realise that the struggle in LA is also ours. It is the struggle to live with dignity, rather than at the mercy of economic and political bosses.

It is only in moments of refusal of and attack against the sterile plans of power that life and joy can be seized from the grey concrete cemetery of “progress”.

So, in solidarity with the LA rebellion, let’s spread the uprising everywhere!

ES:

DE LONDRES SUR A LOS ANGELES

VIVA LA REBELIÓN!

QUE SE EXTIENDA LA REVUELTA – LIBERTAD PARA TODXS!

En las últimas semanas ha comenzado una gran rebelión en Los Ángeles.

La gente, más allá de cualquier categoría, se ha levantado y con su rabia, coraje y creatividad ha hecho retroceder, por un momento, a los esbirros militares y policiales de la Democracia Americana.

¿Por qué? Porque quienes tienen el poder están haciendo una guerra contra la gente a la que explotan despiadadamente para enriquecerse cada vez más. Las «redadas de inmigración» agarran a cualquiera susceptible de ser convertido en victima para meterlo en vehículos con destino a campos de prisioneros y la deportación.

El pueblo en rebelión en Los Ángeles decidió actuar,  decidió no quedarse de brazos cruzados ante este secuestro en masa.

¿Y nosotros, en el sur de Londres?

Todos los días se construyen torres de cristal para rodearnos, mientras que las redadas de inmigración se hacen contra la gente que se despierta a las 4 de la mañana para aspirarlas.

Cada día somos aplastados en nombre del “progreso” de los patrones: exprimidos, acosados, robados, agotados y, finalmente, desalojados y expulsados.

La empresa multinacional AECOM, que dirige la construcción de los Juegos Olímpicos de Los Ángeles 2028, en preparación de los cuales la policía está ahora «limpiando» Los Ángeles con persecuciones sangrientas, es la misma empresa que está diseñando la ampliación de la estación de Elephant and Castle (que da servicio a las urbanizaciones de lujo) y la propuesta de ampliación de la línea de Bakerloo, para la que actualmente nos están «limpiando» bajo el supuesto de que no nos defenderemos.

Tomemos conciencia de que la lucha en Los Ángeles es también la nuestra. Es la lucha por vivir con dignidad, y no a merced de los jefes de lo económico y lo político.

Sólo en los momentos de rechazo y ataque contra los planes estériles del poder se puede extraer vida y alegría del cementerio de hormigón gris del «progreso».

Así que, en solidaridad con la rebelión de Los Ángeles, ¡extendamos la rebelión por todas partes!

Internet and cable provider Spectrum has reported outages in Los Angeles are “caused by a criminal act of vandalism,” according to a company post Sunday on X.

The most common user issues have been total blackouts, landline and internet problems, and no signal. The outage has affected neighborhoods surrounding Los Angeles, such as North Hollywood, as well as in the Orange County cities of Anaheim and Santa Ana.

More than 25,000 Spectrum users in the Los Angeles area reported issues on DownDetector.com, which tracks outages. Users self-report to DownDetector, so it may not represent the full scale of outages.

Users began reporting issues to DownDetector at 3 a.m. Pacific Time, with more reports spiking around 8 a.m. and 1 p.m.

Spectrum acknowledged customer concerns at 2:13 p.m. PT in a post on X, saying, “We are currently working on a Fiber cut affecting the Los Angeles area. We are sorry for the inconvenience this has caused. Thank you.”

Spectrum told CNN in an email that the “lines were cut due to vandalism in Van Nuys,” which affected services in other parts of Los Angeles and Ventura, California. The company said it expects services to “continue to be restored this afternoon in Los Angeles” and that services have already been restored in Ventura.

Customers in Kansas City experienced a similar outage last month, when Spectrum reported two fiber cuts — one that the company credited to a criminal act of vandalism and another caused by a third-party network, which should have provided backup to the Spectrum network, according to local reports.

Gloves and a plastic cover were found on the spot. Despite the fact that there were surveillance cameras on the building of the district administration, it was not possible to establish the identity of the arsonist, as he knew about their ‘blind spots’ in advance.

Hochelaga, April 30, 9pm

Tonight, people engaged in combative mutual aid. Food should be free, as with all essential items. The scourge of capitalism has made it so that necessities such as food and housing are things to be earned rather than inalienable basic needs.

Today we are making food free in our own way, by liberating sustenance to redistribute amongst the community. And we will do it again. The state apparatus may try to stop us, and in doing so, show its true colors. The government and the corporate interest it serves are not your friends. They will sooner let you starve than sacrifice their bottom line. Eat freely!
