BREAKING: Major clashes in southeast Chicago this pm.

DHS agents who crashed a car had eggs thrown at them. According to ABC7, they then fired pepper balls at local residents. It’s now a scene of flying rocks & tear gas.

Chicago was never a war zone. But Trump’s militia is turning it into one.

DT is simply the most recent in a consistent line of presidential extralegal killings going at least as far back as George W Bush, and certainly carried by Obama & Biden. Harris would have done the same, if not worse.

Further premeditated, lawless killing in the Caribbean.

Making at least five such US strikes.

Against unidentified "narcoterrorists" affiliated w/ an unspecified "designated terrorist organization" allegedly trafficking unspecified narcotics.

POTUS is asserting a license to kill outside the law.

Under my Standing Authorities as Commander-in-Chief, this morning, the Secretary of War, ordered a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO) conducting narcotrafficking in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility — just off the Coast of Venezuela. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was trafficking narcotics, was associated with illicit narcoterrorist networks, and was transiting along a known DTO route. The strike was conducted in International Waters, and six male narcoterrorists aboard the vessel were killed in the strike. No U.S. Forces were harmed. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!!!!

LAPD literally attacked “peaceful, non-violent” No Kings protesters in June. Lots of people were susceptible to attack because they were led there under the premise of “safety” and that the protest “wasn’t like the others. we are the good ones!”

The regime prefers you to be compliant sitting ducks!

Antifascism is so often exactly this. Attacking the explicit fascists, while fighting off the repressive arm of the state at our rearguard— as the Basque comrades so effectively did today in Vitoria against Spanish falangist fascists.

People do such a great job demobilizing themselves and sabotaging their potential with this goofy rhetoric based dogmatic iteration of social media leftism we have in this era. It’s actually worth wondering if a lot of this is intentional because it looks like a real trap.

On Indigenous Peoples Day (Anti-Columbus Day) one can remember that anarchism has always been a mixed bag when it comes to Indigenous peoples. Early proto-anarchists Godwin & Proudhon were anti-Native, while Déjacque explicitly supported the Native demand for "a place in the sun" for their peoples.
