A Report-Back and Call to Action from Madison, Wisconsin

Posted on 2024/02/21 - 2024/03/06 by unsalted
Portrait photo of University of Wisconsin officer Adam E Boardman

On Tuesday February 13th, University of Wisconsin police officers assaulted at least two UW students at a protest against Israeli arms suppliers BAE systems, CAT and General Dynamics at a “career fair” on their campus. Violent piece of shit, Adam Boardman, who makes $126,000 a year professionally beating up students, was caught on video throwing one student headfirst into a door before slamming an already handcuffed student into a wall.

We thought people might like to know a little more about Boardman, in case they want to tell him how they feel about the little rampage he went on last week:

You can also tell his boss to fire him at:

  • work phone: 608-890-2730

UW students have protested genocidal, ecocidal and otherwise evil companies at “career fair” recruiting events in the past. They have successfully prevented companies from whitewashing their crimes by handing out flyers detailing their atrocities in front of their booth. This tactic was so successful that the unversity had to make a new set of career fair rules to specifically ban handing out literature of any kind (even though handing out resumes and brochures is literally the main point of a career fair lol).

A video of some of the assaults can be seen here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C3YYETqrvoK/

JANUARY 18: DAY OF THE FOREST DEFENDER

Posted on 2024/01/09 - 2024/06/04 by unsalted

On January 18, 2023, Georgia State Patrol officers entered the Weelaunee Forest alongside police from other agencies in the region. They sought to clear the encampments re-established there in the weeks prior. A month earlier, on December 13, a similar operation cleared encampments after a year of struggle, and culminated in the arrest of 6 forest defenders on obscene and fraudulent charges of Domestic Terrorism.

When Patrolmen entered the forest in January, they entered into a long confrontation they had little or no experience with, a confrontation pitting free people, local residents, environmentalists, aspiring revolutionaries, and itinerant insurrectionalists against the Atlanta Police Foundation, the Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens and his submissive City Council, Michael Thurmond and the Dekalb County government, Ryan Millsap and Shadowbox Studios, and all of the contractors hoping to devastate the land, displace its life forms, and replace them with a police training facility and soundstage complex.

This struggle has been something of a burning torch for class confrontation and subversive cultural innovation in the United States for nearly 3 years. It would not be an exaggeration to say this has been the sharpest struggle in North America during the entirety of the Biden-Harris administration.

The nature of this confrontation was altered permanently by the hasty and poorly-made decisions of Jerry Parrish, Bryland Myers, Jonathan Salcedo,  Ronaldo Kegel, Royce Zah, and Mark Jonathan Lamb. These officers ambushed and killed Tortuguita, the nom de guerre with which we knew a 26 year old anarchist living in the forest.

“If the Cops Kill Me I Want You to Riot”

Posted on 2024/01/06 by unsalted
An Atlanta Police Department cruiser burns, with overlaid text reading "Jan 18 2024 Tortuguita was murdered by the state on this day last year. Take action anywhere + everywhere on turtle island and all over the world. Honor its life. Cherish its memory. Be ungovernable. You know what to do."

“If the cops kill me I want you to riot
Burn down their stations and set their cars alight
Know that I went out fighting and wish we all
Could just have peace and be free
…
We cannot have peace until this empire falls. Even then, peace takes work and freedom is a constant struggle. If the cops kill me I want you to riot, to kill as many of them as you can.” – Tort’s diary p. 121

Tortuguita lived and died fighting for the dispossessed, the wild, and the feral; against the world of empire, prisons, and police. It was a true warrior who made the forest its home, devoted their life to the struggle, and was willing to die a revolutionary death rather than be captured. We invite all those who knew Tort, and all who were impacted by its life from afar, to take the anniversary of their death as an opportunity to reflect on our own commitments and deepen our resolve, so that we might invigorate and intensify our conflictuality.

Rather than retreat into the bounds of comfort and safety, let us allow our memory of Tort to remind us of what it means to truly act in accordance with our values, and to challenge ourselves to follow through. We are rendered harmless only when we allow our fear of the enemy to eclipse our desires to defend the land and reduce this capitalist hellworld to ashes. Remember that the mechanisms of subjugation and control encroach all around us. Wherever you are, you need not venture far to find the veins of industry; go out and sever them.

We need not be concerned with optics and media portrayals. We have no interest in seeking validation, recognition, or understanding from the same media outlets — agents of the society we wish to destroy — that deadname and misgender Tortuguita and relentlessly whitewash its life as one of nonviolence and passivity. Additionally, to contort our actions to render them acceptable to the general public is to inevitably dull them to the point of irrelevance. To work only within the confines of the existent is to disarm ourselves completely. As anarchists, we are able to speak to each other in a language all our own. When we redecorate walls, shatter windows, and set fires, we speak to each other in ways that the media and the general public need not understand; we become beautiful. When we refuse legibility, when we refuse sympathy and demands, we refuse cooptation, we refuse recuperation, and we seek out life.

Avenge Tortuguita — Avenge the Forest

FIND EACH OTHER: WINTER EDITION

Posted on 2023/12/08 - 2024/06/05 by unsalted

We wanted to submit this addendum to “Find Each Other, Build Your Communities: Full Moon Anarchist Gatherings”. So many people have been able to connect or reconnect with other anti-authoritarians thanks to the organizers of gatherings like the ones described. BUT, it seems that whomever wrote this either left some stuff out, or just isn’t familiar with Great Lakes region weather and/or doesn’t seem to be concerned about hosting potential superspreader events inside in the midst of another covid surge and the height of flu season. We have enough ancestors and enough of our people have been sidelined by long covid already. So here’s…

FIND EACH OTHER: WINTER EDITION

Most readers probably don’t imagine such social events happening outside in the middle of winter, in deep snow or blustry north winds, but sometimes that’s what we HAVE TO DO, for almost half the year. Thankfully, doing so can be just as fun as a summer event, just in different ways, and can leave you feeling badass after pulling it off. Continue reading “FIND EACH OTHER: WINTER EDITION” →

Find Each Other, Build Your Communities: Full Moon Anarchist Gatherings

Posted on 2023/11/19 - 2024/06/05 by unsalted

Monthly gatherings centering anti-authoritarian politics and values, rather than ditching them in favor of ‘left unity’. A place for anti-authoritarians to meet each other, build relationship beyond their immediate circles, and cross-pollinate.

If you know how to throw a party, you know how to host a full moon anarchist gathering!

A few of us have been doing this over the summer, and we think people in other areas might like to try it for themselves. We wanted to socialize with all our anarchist friends, we lack a space in our area that explicitly centers anti-authoritarian values rather than an impulsive “left unity”, and we wanted to encourage more anarchist connection and activity. Lots of anarchists here work on their own projects or in affinity groups and don’t often meet each other or know what others are up to. A full moon gathering is social and enjoyable, rather than a meeting or narrowly-focused project, and it helps us meet and share ideas outside our immediate circles. It’s even a chance for friends from nearby towns to visit and connect!

How?

It’s just a regular potluck! Everyone brings food so that cooking labor is shared and doesn’t fall on only a few people. Labeling food for allergies & dietary needs is a MUST for this. We’ve been hosting in backyards and encourage people to bring chairs and firewood, help with setup and cleanup, and generally help the event happen and make it what they want it to be. We individually invite people with a forwardable invite with all the event info, saying they can feel free to share with their anti-authoritarian friends. This spreads along existing relationships rather than being fully open, which is helpful for hosting these at our homes. Being on the full moon makes it a memorable regular date that naturally moves so people aren’t always shut out by their work schedule.

In response to a comrade requesting information about potential targets

Posted on 2023/10/26 by unsalted

“This section includes companies involved in state violence and human rights violations as a part of occupations through:

· The Settlement Industry – companies that support and maintain illegal settlements in occupied lands.
· Exploitation of Natural Resources – companies involved in the exploitation and plundering of natural resources in occupied lands.
· Wall and Checkpoints – companies that support the system of severe travel restrictions Israel imposes on Palestinians.
· Weapons and Military Equipment – companies that provide militant groups in Palestine/Israel with weapons and militarized equipment specifically designed for and consistently used in war crimes or attacks on civilians.
· Discrimination – companies that discriminate against Palestinians in their services or goods, in the workplace, or by exploiting the unequal and discriminatory legal situation for their commercial benefit.”

Solidarity with Gaza, Palestinian Anarchists

Posted on 2023/10/25 by unsalted

I have no idea what the fuck to do or how to organize right now, but some of us need to push past these performative liberal rallies. Please, if anyone has info to share on potential targets for action ranging from NVDA to spicier stuff, please share them here. I have found a number of names, companies, and state orgs who partook in a horrendous trade ‘mission’ with ‘Israeli’ military occupation entities in 2018.

Beth S. Gotthelf, 100 Bloomfield Hills Pkwy
Bloomfield Hills, MI 48304 (unconfirmed), is the scum who organized the conference under her firm, Butzel Long, which has offices all over Michigan. Cignys in Saginaw, Challenger Communications in Albion, and RAMI in Grand Haven are some of the criminal corporations who went to network with settler military occupation companies. There’s more names in this article: https://www.butzel.com/news-Butzel-Long-attorney-Beth-Gotthelfs-passion-for-Defense-Industry-trade-missions-with-Israel. And anyone who knows how to dig could probably find more info to help blow these shitfucks and the Macomb County Economic Development pigs up with propaganda and uhhh… just propaganda, yeah.

“Gaza just broke out of prison.” – مريم البرغوثي (Mariam Barghouti)

“A massive jailbreak this morning” – Radical Haifa

 

Many people are unaware that the u.s. government holds hundreds of political prisoners & prisoners of war captive for their participation in liberation struggles. Even fewer realize that among them are people caged for supporting Palestinians: the “Holy Land 5” are a group of people who the u.s. imprisoned for running a Palestinian charity after they were targeted by the zionist anti-defamation league & surveilled by the FBI.

 

In addition, many current u.s.-held political prisoners have made their support for the Palestinian cause clear. They include Mumia Abu-Jamal, Oso Blanco, Marius Mason, Malik Muhammad, Victor Puertas, Jessica Reznicek, & others.

 

Rather than get caught up in arguments about legitimate violence (or anything, really) with radlibs & zionists, we propose that opponents of colonial captivity worldwide seize this opportunity to support the antagonists of prison regimes, concentration camps, & police states. We can draw attention to their struggles through militant education, vocal public support, & attacks on the systems & structures that keep them prisoner.

 

If you’d like to share information or coordinate around anti-oppression prisoners held by nation-states other than the u.s., consider reaching out:
