A few days ago, Shandon Simpson, a nazi who famously goes by "Zoran Zoltanous" online, was arrested in Chicago, Illinois. According to his own words, he was arrested for "beating the shit" out of a black woman using a baseball bat.

We are also basically back to pre-Charlottesville coverage of nazi events, where half of the stories coming out are puff pieces and posting nice footage for PF to use; a large counter protest could muck that up, but the purge of good journalists has us back at square one. Guide for reporting:

The 1998 murders of Dan and Spit represent the cutting of threads in a fabric woven across time by countless contributors and crews before and after. The entire tapestry is changed by their absence, offset by the shape of their loss. Every anti-racist must know their story and continue earnestly.

#OtD 4 Jul 1998 best friends Lin Newborn, an African-American skinhead, and Daniel Shersty, a white US air force serviceman, members of Anti-Racist Action were murdered in the desert near Las Vegas by white supremacists workingclasshistory.com/2021/01/11/e...

The hunger strike that detainees at Delaney Hall Detention Center are maintaining despite violent repression from ICE is only one of several hunger strikes taking place in detention centers around the country. Do you live near one of them? If you do, you could help spread resistance on the outside.

SUPPORT THE HUNGER STRIKES

One year ago, four detainees broke walls and escaped from Delaney, taking
cover in a protest outside. Now detainees are on strike, and hundreds of us are
building barricades to prevent ICE from transferring them. Now, hunger
strikes are spreading at detention centers across the country.

They push from inside, we push from outside.
Together, we can break down the walls.

Federal officials want us to believe that no harm is being done to detainees in Delaney Hall Detention Center. Of course not—ICE agents would never hurt a flea. How do they intend to convince us? By having ICE agents do harm to anyone who assembles outside Delaney Hall. crimethinc.com/DelaneyHall

In typical Flock fashion, they attack the people exposing their terrible security rather than addressing the terrible security. That said, we don't want a more secure Flock. We want safety through community connections and care, not surveillance.

Police Unmask Millions of Surveillance Targets Because of Flock Redaction Error

Flock is going after a website called HaveIBeenFlocked.com that has collated public records files released by police.

Hey, do you publish zines?? 👀 We mail zines to our sustainers each month—and we're always looking for exciting new material! If you've got a recently published zine that you think would appeal to our community, send us an email about it: bookstore@firestorm.coop 💌 1/3

A messy pile of zines photographed from above. While many of the pamphlets are black and white, some are printed in color or printed on colored paper. Visible titles include "Black Anarchist Legacies," "Everyday Antifascism," and "Intro to Radio Communication."

A very limited amount of people are speaking up about this sort of thing, and I'm glad the conversation is still going. They will keep inventing things to charge people with and lock them up for to keep the worst people in the world unaccountable.

Really enjoyed talking to @ericalterman.bsky.social for this great piece on MAGA’s anti-Antifa crusade, which will target whatever opposition figures/groups it pleases newrepublic.com/article/2088...
