Ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future visit UM-Los Alamos data center project workers

On Monday, November 24 between the hours of 6 and 8am the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future visited the homes of four local Scrooges (Carolyn Kuranz, Aaron Towne, Daniel Israel, and Jonah Miller) working on the Los Alamos data center project to warn them of the dire consequences should they continue with their plans to greedily consume the water in so-called Ypsilanti, Michigan.

The message of the spirits was clear:

“From the horrors of the atomic bomb to the desecration of the Huron River, to the looming threat of nuclear disaster on all of humanity, you will be haunted by deep regret if you don’t do the right thing now! Get OUT of Ypsi, OUT of Michigan, OUT of the war industry!”

These mischievous ghosts also left their words of warning in the ears and on the doorsteps of the neighbors! (see attachment)

We bet these Scrooges wish they could wash their hands of this whole experience – if only they had any soap in their kitchens! >_< (yuck)

Quit your jobs! Don’t be Scrooges! Get out of here with your gross weapons research, the AI data center that will support it, and the pollution of the land we love!

Devil’s Night Doings Against Data

Some ghouls awoke on Devil’s Night (October 30th) and went to haunt the neighborhoods of Ann Arbor residents doing some evil nuclear weapons development stuff. They left literature which encouraged people to support their neighbors to make less spooky choices.

Chris has hired some private security to sit outside his house wasting gas and money, but unfortunately ghouls are invisible to hired guns! Better luck next time!

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.

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

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:

University of Michigan Regents Terrified of Students, Home Demos

Posted on 2024/05/17 by unsalted
The front porch at a University of Michigan Regent's house has a printed message taped to the front door and props for the home demo. A broken crib, stuffed animals with fake blood, and a fake body in a burial cloth represent Palestinians killed by the Israeli military.
