Condemning Dana Nessel’s Hypocrisy

Posted on 2025/03/13 by unsalted
A line of UMPD officers in riot gear prepare to violently sweep the Palestine solidarity encampment at the University of Michigan

Originally published on https://whatsleftypsi.com/2025/condemning-dana-nessels-hypocrisy/

Michigan attorney general Dana Nessel, a self-styled progressive who has attempted to build a reputation opposing Donald Trump’s authoritarianism, now exposes her own hypocrisy by weaponizing the legal system to suppress pro-Palestine protesters. Her refusal to drop the politically motivated charges against students and activists at the University of Michigan—despite mass demands to Drop the Charges—reveals a glaring contradiction: She claims to fight tyranny while enabling it. Nessel’s actions align her not with the communities she purports to defend, but with the same carceral systems and imperial logic she once condemned.

Nessel’s prosecution of pro-Palestine dissent is a betrayal of the principles she claims to uphold. Where was this zeal for “accountability” when white supremacists plotted to kidnap Michigan’s governor? Where is her outrage over “israel’s” US-funded genocide in Gaza, which has slaughtered over 40,000 Palestinians? Her selective application of justice exposes a dangerous truth: For Nessel, opposing Trump is a political brand, not a commitment to dismantling oppression. When the victims of state violence are Palestinians and their allies, she sides with the powerful.

Ding Dong Ditch

Posted on 2025/01/29 - 2025/01/30 by unsalted

Fuck you, Alex Boyko. You are a rapist and we won’t forget what you’ve done. So we decided to pay your tattoo shop a vist. We spray painted your ring camera and took a hammer to it, glued your locks, and spray painted your store front so everyone knows what you did. And we rang the door bell haha you don’t deserve to sleep comfortably.

Alex Boyko is a serial rapist. He has sexually assaulted and harassed 200 people. Many are women and femmes who he was tattooing. He’s boasted about his assaults and he continues to run a tattoo shop at 28913 W. Seven Mile Road in Livonia. The courts will never give us justice but direct action is always at our fingertips. Cis men need to step up and make it a responsibility to deplatform rapists. Pay him a visit, cover your face so you’re not on camera, break his store, put him out of business. Ding dong, asshole, we’ll keep waking you up. You can’t hide from what you did.

UMPD Officer’s Home Redecorated

Posted on 2024/11/30 by unsalted
A blurry and indistinct individual with a smiling sunglasses emoji for a face is pictured in front of a garage door spray painted with the words "gaza=kosovo", "fuck 12" and "fuck dpss".

Last night, we visited the home of Milot Goci, a Lieutenant of UMPD. Twenty five years ago, Milot fled ethnic cleansing in Kosovo. Today, Milot is part of the machine that perpetuates the genocide in Gaza. He has overseen the brutalization and arrests of people protesting the University of Michigan’s funding of “israel” and the companies that are profiting from the blood of Palestinians.

We spray painted his garage with the words “GAZA = KOSOVO, FUCK12, FUCK DPSS” and broke a window of his house. We did this to remind those contributing to this genocide that so long as they continue doing so, they are not safe.

Fuck 12. Free Palestine

Devil’s Night Peasants Visit Slumlord Stewart Beal

Posted on 2024/11/02 by unsalted
A crowd in various peasant attire stand in front of a large house in the dark. A prop gravestone is in the yard, next to a large banner reading "fucketh you" in a medieval font.

Hark! Let it be known that on this 30th of October – Devil’s Night – we, the peasants of so-called Ypsilanti, have declared that we have HAD ENOUGH of landlords! The peasants have united to declare to Stewart Beal, Ypsi’s own Scrooge McSlumlord, that he is not welcome in our town.

To Stewart Beal, we say: FUCKETH YOU. No amount of wealth can protect you from our wrath.

You have left us serfs with garbage, so we left you with our garbage. Eggs on your stupid giant windows, rotten tomatoes all over your door and porch, and remnants of our chamber pots in the form of toilet paper all over your trees.

(We hear you are particularly terrified of Mountain Dew, so we hope you enjoyed the bottles we left.)

We were supported by the souls of those you have cheated, robbed, and killed. As we worked, gravestones sprang up across your lawn in memory not only of our collective security deposits and the rats that died in our walls, but also of those like Jeremy “Jake” Burd, the construction worker whose death you caused on May 11, 2015 through your cruel and callous disregard for the safety of not only your tenants but your employees.

The Ghosts of Christmas Past gave Scrooge a second chance, but the Ghosts of Devil’s Night and Halloween do not. Beal will know no comfort until he abandons his properties and makes reparations for his crimes. The peasants, renters, rough sleepers, toilers, and caretakers all live DESPITE what the city, police, and lords do to us– not BECAUSE of what they do for us. We do not need them. Until they are thrown off and everything they have stolen has been reclaimed… Every night can be Devil’s Night.

University of Michigan Admin Homes and Israel-Linked Businesses Redecorated on October 7th

Posted on 2024/10/10 by unsalted
The front doors of an office building are spray-painted with "Free Palestine"

To mark one year of genocide against the Palestinian people, an autonomous group visited the homes of two University of Michigan leaders, President Santa Ono and Chief Investment Officer Erik Lundberg. They also decorated the offices of the Jewish Federation of Detroit and the Michigan Israel Business Accelerator, organizations that are deeply entrenched in the apartheid state. From businesses to universities, we reject all financial support for the Israeli regime.

University of Michigan is a Cop: AG Nessel Collaborates With UM on New Charges Against 11 Divestment Activists

Posted on 2024/09/17 - 2024/09/28 by unsalted
On Thursday, September 12, 2024, Michigan Top Cop (Attorney General) Dana Nessel announced that she would bring charges against 11 individuals who have been part of the larger movement to force the University of Michigan to stop supporting the genocide in Palestine and divest from Israeli companies and businesses. These charges focus around UM-Ann Arbor’s encampment that lasted for about 1 month earlier this year. The warrants and press release have a few instructive lessons for folks in Michigan (and possibly outside Michigan), for students and non-students alike:
