If the government shuts down, who will funnel our taxes to military contractors? Who will tap our phones, raid communities, and deport people?

Unfortunately, the shutdown won't stop those.

The real problem is that the shutdown doesn't go far enough. Make the shutdown comprehensive and permanent!

Anarchists: Government Shutdown Doesn't Go Far Enough

If the government shuts down, who will funnel our taxable income to military contractors? Who will tap our phones and read our email? Who will deport and imprison people? Whatever shall we do?

In your opinion, is it ever okay to use AI as part of the writing process (e.g. brainstorming ideas, creating an outline)?

Abdel Majeed has received only $30 in the last week. Support for his campaign has been really slow since the start, so please give if you can!

Confirmation that Trump will be signing an executive order designating "antifa"—i.e., opposition to fascism—as "a domestic terrorist organization."

What this will mean concretely has yet to be seen. For now, read this guide to preparing communities to endure repression:
