Educate yourself about informants! Years ago, a group of people who were directly harmed by informant provocateurs put together this checklist, drawing on their own experiences and those of other activists as well as information from informants who have gone public. crimethinc.com/checklist

The interaction with the officers in Eugene today reminded me of this @crimethinc.com sticker. One thing we can do is know and be willing to assert our rights in the face of rudimentary police intimidation tactics like this. A person was arrested for filming the police in Eugene today...

Raoul Vaneigem—Situationist, author, and lifelong aspiring revolutionary—has passed away at the age of 92. "Let ten people meet who are resolved on the lightning of violence rather than the long agony of survival; from this moment, despair ends and tactics begin." —The Revolution of Everyday Life

RIP Raoul Vaneigem 😪. "Les stupides résurgences du nationalisme et des religions ne sont que l'écume dérisoire du vrai danger : l'acquiescement suicidaire au sort qui nous est fait et par lequel une économie en dépérissement nous enjoint de dépérir avec elle." (1996) Toujours d'actualité.

Today, ICE is working with police and courts to deport people—but the problem has always been the whole structure. This is a poster we printed in memory of Sean Bell and Amadou Diallo and Oscar Grant, of Fred Hampton and Eric Garner and George Floyd and Breonna Taylor and too many more to name. 💔

The Police

The ones who beat Rodney King, who gunned down Sean Bell and Amadou Diallo and Oscar Grant, who murdered Fred Hampton in his bed. The ones who enforced Apartheid in South Africa and segregation in ...

On July 29, 1900, the anarchist Gaetano Bresci assassinated King Umberto of Italy, punishing the king for ordering the brutal killing of hundreds of workers who were protesting rising food prices. At that time, power and wealth were concentrated in the hands of an uncaring elite. Whereas today…

Gaetano Bresci: Tyrannicide and Defender of the People

Bresci risked his life to save Errico Malatesta from an assassination attempt, then gave his life to impose consequences on the king for overseeing the murder of hundreds of poor working people.

ICE, police, and courts comprise a single integrated machinery of violence. "The power of the police, as the power of the FBI, the courts, and the federal government, is rooted in violence. The fact that the violence does not always come into bloody play does not alter the fact." —Dave Dellinger

A poster reading

The Police.

The ones who beat Rodney King, who gunned down Sean Bell and Amadou Diallo and Oscar Grant, who murdered Fred Hampton in his bed. The ones who enforced Apartheid in South Africa and segregation in the United States. The ones who broke Víctor Jara’s hands and Steve Biko’s skull, who disappeared dissidents from Argentina to Zaire, who served Josef Stalin. The ones who interrogated Black Panthers and Catholic Workers, who maintained records on 16 million people in East Germany, who track us through surveillance cameras and phone taps. The ones firing tear gas and rubber bullets whenever a demonstration gets out of hand, who back the bosses in every strike. The ones who stand between every hungry person and the grocery shelves stocked with food, between every homeless person and the buildings standing empty, between every immigrant and her family.

In every nation, in every age, you tell us you’re indispensable, that without you we’d all be killing each other. But we know well enough who the killers are. You won’t fuck with us much longer.

POLICE EVERYWHERE, JUSTICE NOWHERE

This is a good time to learn about how the state uses grand juries to collect information with which to attack social movements and dissent in general. Here, you can read about how three people successfully stood up to grand jury indictments. crimethinc.com/resistgrandj...

Narratives from three people who successfully stood up to grand jury indictments: one who served jail time for resisting, one who went on the run, and one who supported a grand jury resister.

What happened to the cop who murdered Carlo Giuliani? These are his words about his life today. Even if you are prepared to murder for the ruling class, they will use you to protect their privileges, then throw you away. They're using you to kill because they don't value life—yours or anyone's.

...reading:

"I live thrown away like an abandoned thing"

"I've been dead since that day, like Giuliani. I'm a 40-year-old man living a wasted life, like something abandoned. Without friends, I search for them on Facebook but I can't find their names anymore. Without a job. Without opportunities."

Reached by phone by AGI at his home in Catanzaro, Placanica apologizes for his hoarse voice, which, when he talks about his current condition, turns to tears: "I smoked all night because I couldn't sleep. These are even more difficult days."

A Letter to Carlo Giuliani crimethinc.com/CarloGiuliani 25 years ago, on July 20, 2001, during the G8 summit in Genoa, a police officer shot and killed a 23-year-old demonstrator named Carlo Giuliani. Here, a fellow participant in the battle of Genoa addresses Carlo from across the years.

I wrote this on this day a few years ago, in the hopes that we can continue to carry the names of those killed because they were "one of us." "One of us. All of us, regardless of our more specific motivations, were there on that day because we saw this world as broken and refused to stand idly.
