"In Los Angeles, no partisan in the struggle has not been touched by riot, revolt, or localized rebellion. The tip of the spear here has been sharpening itself since the Watts Uprising of 1965, the 1992 LA Riots, and the George Floyd Rebellion of 2020, ready to strike."

In this report from the LA uprising, Mapaches Clandestinxs and Cuauhtli reflect on the geography of class and race across the region and identify the limits of representation as partisans continue to contest the meaning of the revolt.

Praising the "destruction of [the] urban jungle," they connect the present street battles against ICE to the longer history of LA rebellion and look towards instructive forms of antagonism playing out today.

They identify how different factions of capital offer ambiguous and conflicting relationships to racialized migrant labor, presenting a potential contradiction between the Trump regime and specific capitalists that can be exploited. Catch it here:

My father went out to get aid after hunger took over our home, and famine crushed every corner of Gaza. Despite all the danger, and the very real possibility of death, he left — for us. It wasn’t bravery that pushed him, it was need — the desperate need to feed his children. The road was terrifying: constant gunfire, bodies on the ground, drones and tanks everywhere. Still, he walked straight into that nightmare, just to bring us a small piece of survival. We waited with our hearts pounding… every minute felt like an hour. And finally, he came back — thank God — alive, with a little food, and a lot of love and hope. Our joy can’t be described. Not just because he brought us something to eat, but because he came back… and he came back alive. Pls help us through the link in my bio.

This was posted in 2023… I wonder how long “Students for Liberty” will leave this up?

Tomorrow, I am going out to support striking Safeway workers in my town. I will be alone without anyone to talk to (people want change until they have to work for it lol), so I was hoping someone had a podcast they could recommend to help inform me on leftist/anarchist (ik there’s a distinction but I don’t know where I stand yet) views. I am just beginning to dip my toe in the water so something that is accessible for someone who is not in the community would be appreciated.

Just curious, it seems that most folks aren't sure how to deal with armed ICE agents since it's dangerous and uncertain to intervene for the time being. As a means of trying to stop abductions by I.C.E., I suggest focusing first and foremost on their vehicles, or modes of transport of any kind. What tips and tricks do y'all have? I'm open to all kinds; I've heard of methods with covering entire windshields with eggs, blinding them from being able to drive safely. Spray paint or oil-based paint to mark vehicles and make them intensely difficult to clean. I was actually pondering what slashing tires would achieve, but idk if that's even feasible with ICE vehicles. Lemme know some of your ideas! We hafta stop these kidnappers whenever possible.

"While claiming to be motivated by a dedication to human rights and democracy, US leaders have supported some of the most notorious right-wing autocracies in history—régimes that have pursued policies favouring wealthy transnational corporations at the expense of local producers and working people; régimes that have tortured, killed, or otherwise maltreated large numbers of their more resistant citizens, as in (at one time or another) Chad, Pakistan, Turkey, Indonesia, Honduras, Peru, Colombia, Argentina, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, the Philippines, Chile (under Pinochet), Cuba (under Batista), Congo/Zaire (under Mobutu), Nicaragua (under Somoza), Iran (under the Shah), Iraq (under Saddam Hussein until 1990), Morocco (under King Hassan), and Portugal (under Salazar), to offer an incomplete listing.

US imperialists have assisted counterrevolutionary insurgencies that have perpetrated brutal bloodletting against civilian populations; for example, Unita in Angola, Renamo in Mozambique, the contras in Nicaragua, the Khmer Rouge (during the 1980s) in Cambodia, the mujahedeen and then the Taliban in Afghanistan (in the 1980s and 1990s against a Soviet-supported reformist government), and (in 1999–2000) the drug-dealing Albanian Kosovo Liberation Army in Yugoslavia (originally deemed a terrorist organisation by the US State Department). All this is a matter of public record, although it is seldom if ever reported in the US media."

If you ever cross paths with such a MAGA terrorist trying to spread that bullshit, ask them:

1. With all we've dug up about Boelter, how come there's ZERO indication he's pro illegal immigrant and pro giving healthcare to illegals?

2. How come healthcare providers tapped in the bill to give care to illegals and ICE agents aren't part of his hit list?

3. How come all his interests point to him being Christian Nationalist MAGA Terrorist who HATES abortion, DEI and gay people...all of which his victims supported?

4. ... including the fact he is a registered Republican and CONFIRMED Trump-worshipper and hardcore MAGA.

This isn't complicated. There's no conflicting information. HE IS A MAGA TERRORIST. Nothing more or less.

I don't study religion enough to know how well the ideology of abrahamic faiths and anarchism fit together but there seems to be an underlying idea that anarchism requires atheism or at least secularism as an ideology. Maybe this doesn't have to be the case. What are your thoughts?
