I keep seeing leftists from outside of Minneapolis say they’ve seen all this before, and no, you haven’t. I’ve been at this for 30+ years and I haven’t either. It’s not what you’re picturing. This is something else
I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Berxwedan jiyane! I’m in Minneapolis currently, and feeling a great deal of hope from all the wonderful people showing up on street corners to protect their friends and their community.

Solidarity has many forms, most of them centering love not rage, I hope my book shows that.

After the failure of negotiations in Damascus, a general mobilization has begun in Rojava. Youth from northern Kurdistan appear To have crossed the border to join the defence. it feels like 2014 again, complete with horrific executions of SDF prisoners.

The respectability policing that goes on after cops or federal agents (who are also cops, y'all) kill someone is always unbearable. Dissecting the actions of the victim, putting them on trial when they cannot defend themselves, declaring they should have done this or that. Did they deserve to die?!

ICE is a relatively newer agency that has always terrorized communities and attracted white supremacists to their ranks. Do people want to “train” them to be better at that? Any mention of training reveals someone who doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

This past year was our 35th anniversary, and we've taken that opportunity to refresh our look with a brand-new logo! We were thrilled to work with anarchist graphic designer Kevin Yuen Kit Lo (LOKI Design), who has given our beloved logo a sleeker, more contemporary update.

We hope you like it!
