Toulouse (Haute-Garonne): sabotage at the metro construction site
Two cranes threaten to collapse on the Minimes metro worksite in Toulouse, act of vandalism suspected
La Dépêche/France 3, June 2, 2023
Hot news in Toulouse in the Raisin district along the Canal between Les Minimes and Faubourg-Bonnefoy. Around 3 a.m. on Friday June 2, some fifteen firefighters responded to a crane fire on avenue François Collignon. The site was the third metro line.
The fire was quickly brought under control, but the structure of the crane was threatened by the fire. The second crane had hydraulic leaks on its cylinders. Both of which jeopardized the balance of both machines. The police and experts have arrived and the area has been neutralized: vehicles can no longer circulate on avenue François Collignon and chemin du Raisin. A security perimeter has been set up with barriers.

Le Progrès/BFM Lyon/radio Scoop, June 6, 2023
“There wasn’t supposed to be any impact from today’s national strike,” Keolis tells us on the eve of the 14th day of mobilization against the pension reform. But then… This Tuesday morning, three rail lines on the TCL network were partially out of service after an act of vandalism, as reported on the Lyon public transport Twitter account. Due to “arson”, “lines T3, T7 and the Rhône Express are no longer running”.

(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.
Eric King Statement 2023
Greetings comrades. Let me tell you about this prison, the federal supermax ADX [in Florence, Colorado]. In this joint there are different levels and units with varying levels of physical isolation and communication, but there are things we all experience. Everyone is locked down at least 21 hours a day, at max 24. When you have inside rec you are by yourself in a room without a pull up bar. Outside rec cages are 8 x 10 foot dog kennels surrounded by concrete walls and a chain link roof — a cage within a cage. Unless you are in the pre-release unit (K-A) or long-term elder unit (K-B), you will never be in the same room as another person. And even in those units you only come around your ‘group’ — which is one to four other people — for inside rec. The other 22 ½ hours are in your cell by yourself. I have been in C-unit, the discipline unit and K-A; there is one other person in my group.
The cells are sparse. Concrete walls and double doors make any communication between convicts very difficult. Cells feature a low concrete beed, an oddly shitty mattress, a concrete desk, concrete stool, and in some units, a shelf above the desk. You never have solo interactions with staff — you are always double-manned with one of them carrying a steel baton, and you’re always cuffed behind your back. Depending on the unit, you can get 4–10 calls per month. I’ve made two ‘live-monitored’ calls in the past 10 months, but I’m being told that by participating in psychology programs I’ll earn a few calls per month. Time will tell. We’re allowed five visits per month, all non-contact in a concrete booth over the phone. All visits have to be scheduled in advance, which can be difficult with such restricted communication. I’m the only Anarchist here, but I’m definitely not the only political prisoner. Within this prison there is a group of prisoners the US government has attempted to bury. The general abolitionist community has consented to this, and it’s devastating.

LAMB LIBERATED IN SOLIDARITY WITH MARIUS MASON AND ALL LONG TERM ANARCHIST PRISONERS.
“Lamb liberated in solidarity with Marius Mason and all long term anarchist prisoners.
We’d seen the lambs many times, we knew, while they were with their mums now, it wouldn’t be that long before they fattened up and the farmer sent them to slaughter. The field was easy to access but watchful mums keeping their babies close were hard to catch. Herding them into a corner and closing in we managed to grab one. Picking them up and taking them to safety we hoped their mum would understand that we’d look after them. We wish we could of taken her other lamb and her, the whole herd. They all deserve better than what 
awaits them. This lamb will get real care and never see the slaughterhouse or be left to die and decay in some field corner.
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).

Hunger strike of the imprisoned member of Anarchist Action Thanos Chatzianggelou alongside his comrade Giannis Michailidis.
Our struggles are like journeys. They carry all their contents along the road and not at the destination. And the value of a journey is in sharing it. It is the wild beauty of togetherness.
There is no more room for words – only actions. Today we each have to give a little something, so that some of us don’t have to give everything. And whatever the end, we will be by each other’s side to face it together.
From today, Sunday 11/6, I am starting a hunger strike alongside comrade Giannis Michailidis, demanding the immediate satisfaction of his rights.
No vacillation between duties and dispositions
The right of one concerns all of us
