———————————————————————————

[This second night of riot in a row after that of yesterday following the police assassination of Nahel (Hauts-de-Seine) on 27th June, expanded to many more cities, multiplying also the number and type of targets.. Beyond clashes with police and burnt cars, below is a non-exhaustive review of burned buildings, looted or attacked across the country, from cop stations to town halls, from social centres to media libraries, from supermarkets to metro stations and trams, not forgetting the entrance of the prison of Fresnes or the court of Asnières-sur-Seine…]

Some numbers
2377 fires were recorded on the public road during the night of 28 to 29 June, according to a police source cited by Le Parisien. Of these, 609 vehicles and 114 buildings were affected. 27 attacks on national police premises were also reported (damong which 7 by fire), 4 gendarmerie barracks, 14 municipal police stations (including 10 burnt).

For pleasure…

* Airparif writes this Thursday that « significant levels of particulate matter (PM10 + PM2.5) were observed in the air tonight and this morning » in Île-de-France, and that this « increase in the region is mainly related to emissions related to riots». This kind of pollution can be due to the many fires that took place at night.


Public transport in Ile-de-France

Two trams were burned in the Hauts-de-Seine. One of line T6 to Clamart, at the Georges Pompidou stop. « The catenaries burned, the tram is embedded in the tracks. We’re going to disengage the train this afternoon (Thursday) but the work will take weeks», explained a manager. The other train that was set on fire was the T10 tram, which had just been inaugurated last Saturday at Châtenay-Malabry.

Anarchist history is not a sequence of simple and isolated acts, although many would like it to be; to speak of the adventurers, the crazy poets of history, the unwavering ones with heroic personalities, to fill the chronology of some novelistic book of those who hide behind academic titles or some cushy and comfortable desk. But our history could not be further from that – a multitude of sparks, of attempts without pretension or arrogance, voluntary impulses of determined individualities that await neither the conditions nor the moment, that unite freely or act alone always with the same ungovernable pulse.

Fourteen years have passed since that autumn charged with chaos, when one of our own left us in a May full of anarchic spirit. Punki Mauri some called him, Mauricio Morales Duarte was his name in the official records. That night changed the course of the winds for his immediate sfullurroundings, but it was also a call for the anarchic multiverse around the world.

Balancing a black memory with an active spirituality, without falling into those pseudo shamanic visions that are sold today as holy cards of new age saints, is a challenge from the deepest iconoclastic feeling.

Call for Digital Solidarity Actions Against the Cop City Complex

Computers and the Internet form a battleground dominated by global capitalism, white supremacy, anti-Blackness, cis-hetero-patriarchy, and eugenicist ableism. Yet any militant struggle involves operating on enemy territory.

This is a call to take creative and destructive action against the computer systems of the organizations building cop city. Websites can be defaced or decommissionsed; servers can be broken into; accounts can be compromised. Hackers, let’s fucking go.

Extensive lists of cop city supporters can be found here and here.

(Berlin) Graffiti, Postering and Banner in solidarity with Giannis Michailidis

Already on 12 /6 there were posters glued in Kreuzberg that spread the info about the hungerstrike of the anarchist prisoner. In Görlitzer Park there has been a bannerdrop and graffiti.

Two other prisoners, Thanos Chatziagelou and Stergios Kalaitzidis have joined in the hungerstrike recently. Meanwhile, the condition of Giannis Michailidis is getting critical as he has started after a month of hungerstrike additionally a thirststrike. It is urgent to react to the rapid escalation of this struggle behind the prison walls of the greek hellholes.

2023 Statement from Marius Mason for June 11 ,2023 (USA)

2023 Statement from Marius Mason

Dear Community, Family and Friends,

Thank you for the work you are doing to make the change we need to make into the world for our collective survival. Your dedication, support and love are a constant source of inspiration and motivation for me; and I am betting for other prisoners, as well.

This has been as eventful year and a half here at FCI Danbury. My transfer to a male facility had been viewed with great trepidation both by those supportive of trans people and by those who are adamantly opposed to our existence. I’ve had many memorable experiences; some humiliating, some merely annoying and awkward. But, also several that have been rewarding and deeply affirming.

There has definitely been a sense of working things out as we go—the way strip searches have been conducted has been all over the board. Sometimes they have been done by one male staff person, sometimes by one female staff person and several times by several male staff people. Strip searches occur before and after visits, before and after medical trips out, and also when going into the SHU (I had to go there before a medical procedure to fast).

Gathering-demonstration against fur Friday 9/6 by Antispeciesists against fur and leather industry(Athens,Greece)

Athens: Gathering-demonstration against fur-leather industry and every type of confinement Friday 9/6 17:00 monastiraki square

It is difficult to depict with words what “fur and leather industry” means. We have been used to repeat terms without combining them with physical reality,to replicate them like they are abstract concepts, to forget that they come with the body pain of many,too many, individuals.Maybe the best description of the violent dissociation of animals’ leather and fur industry are these animals’ screams, their silences full of despair, their horror stares. All these happen far away from the well-polished cities,many kilometres away from the shining showcases of the stores that trade what has been stolen from the animals.

They happen for example in Kastoria,Kozani,Ptolemaida,Florina and Grevena where factories-prisons are full of small,dirty cages with weak,scared animals that have not been given even one day of freedom, without having ever been able to run,to play, to find comrades, to explore the forest and sleep quietly under one of its shadows. They grow up in bare minimum,merciless spaces,either being unable to come in touch with other creatures,or being piled up all together without their inherent competitiveness and their need for personal space. For example, minks fight fiercely each other,get seriously injured and stay with their wounds open and infected.Foxes are subjected to generical modifications in order to “offer” more fur while being slaughtered, and as a result they have heavy bodies and auto-immunes diseases that cause them pain every day.

Against the war: break the front, sabotage, revolt

POSTER PDF:

 

AGAINST THE WAR

The war in Ukraine is the consequence of 30 years of encirclement operated by the NATO towards the Russian Federation.

The war in Ukraine didn’t begin with the Russian invasion of February 2022 but with the military (and neonazi) aggression against the Russian-speaking populations of Donbass initiated and legitimised by pro-EU and pro-NATO governments since 2014.

The war in Ukraine, like all wars, is a war against proletarians: first of all against the Ukrainian proletarians, used as meat for slaughter in defence of NATO imperialism, and against the Russian ones, sent to die and to kill at the front. Indirectly, it is a war against all proletarians, starting from those of the countries of the EU and the NATO: we, the exploited in the west, will pay for the support of the war, the sending of weapons, soaring defence spending, the productive effort of the industrial-military complex, first of all with cuts in pensions, health care and wages. An increasing share of socially produced wealth will be allocated to the war, the war economy will be imposed with the state of emergency.

Greece: Some news in solidarity with the anarchist hunger striker G. Michailidis

 In solidarity with the anarchist hunger striker G. Michailidis

Our comrade, in the name of dignity and freedom, chooses again the same torturous path that has already created irreparable, as it seems, health problems. In this struggle, however, he has exposed and continues to expose the true face of the judiciary; all that remains is for us to support him in practice until he is with us again. We owe it to ourselves to respond to our comrade’s fortitude and to respond to the countless arbitrary acts of the state.
