(2/2) Meanwhile, over in the United Snakes, the motherfuckin resistance shut down the Brooklyn Bridge!

About 30 troublemakers blocked traffic demanding justice for Oscar Belgal, who was shot by an ICE agent while his five-year-old son was in the car.

And what did the pigs do?

ARREST FOURTEEN OF THEM!

Apparently, shooting a father in front of his kid is just another day at the office, but making rich fucks late for work is a national emergency!

Welcome to the land of the free, motherfuckers!

From Stop ICE:

"ICE vehicles were seen speeding up and down residential streets, and going 50mph the wrong direction down one-way streets before intentionally weaponizing their vehicle to hit a neighbor on his e-bike, tasering him, breaking his arm and then pinning him to the ground. ICE then grabbed another woman, put her into their vehicle and attempted to drive off (Both are US citizens.)

The community came out to protect their neighbors, ICE quickly found themselves outnumbered and called Long Beach Police for assistance.

Long Beach Police arrived and the community immediately demanded they do something about the masked ICE agents who had been terrorizing the community while trying to kidnap another woman, whom neighbors demanded be released at once.

Long Beach Police responded, “we can’t do anything about that.” — But that didn’t stop the community from coming together and doing what was necessary to protect its neighbors.

At least 12 ICE vehicles descended onto the community before retreating. Nobody was kidnapped. The community came together and demonstrated what power looks like in numbers.

DHS and US Attorney Bill Essayli quickly tried to spin a false narrative in several statements falsely claiming their vehicle was damaged by a “rioter” who was on an e-bike. Camera footage clearly shows the unmarked ICE vehicle speeding the opposite direction down a one-way street and intentionally striking a neighbor on his e-bike for no reason. (See previous posts)

If you see ICE in your community you have a right to document, protest, make noise and be loud. You have a right to alert others about ICE activity in your area. You have a right to walk down the street and not be kidnapped and assaulted by masked wannabe paramilitary secret police because of the color of your skin.

Only we can keep us safe."

Hermantown Police Chief Jim Crace declared the protest an unlawful and unsafe assembly approximately two hours later, giving everyone 10 minutes to get out of the building or face arrest.

Protesters, many wearing red “no data center” T-shirts, alternated between several chants, including “Let us speak!” and “Shut it down!” Several police officers guarded the doors to the room, restraining and shoving back a few people who initially approached the chambers."

To break out of the pincer movement in which the progressive government and the CCOO and UGT have trapped us here in Spain, we must ensure that upcoming mobilizations, especially the general strike in November, do not turn out the way they want them to. The streets must not fall in line behind any government. Both our demands and our forms of action must outflank all of these actors from the left, placing them once again in an untenable position. We need to become unacceptable to the institutional left within the state apparatus once more. Otherwise, the window for mobilization that has opened up could close far too soon. The general strike must not become the end of this story, but only one additional chapter, one which we here must struggle to leap past and continue to push beyond."

72 year old man shot a drunk off-duty ICE agent in Fresno, after the ICE agent, who had passed out in front of his house at 3:30 AM, attacked the 72 year-old man and his daughter, who had attempted to make the man leave their yard.

The 72 year-old shot the ICE agent in self-defense, and an off-duty police officer who was the boyfriend of the daughter arrested the ICE agent.

The 72 year-old was not charged, but the ICE agent was charged with felony assault and is currently in custody.

"Advocates estimate at least 73 detained immigrants are participating in the hunger strike inside the Folkston D Ray James ICE processing center in south-east Georgia. The Folkston facility, a former state prison, is run by the private prison company GEO Group under a contract with ICE.

The hunger strike appears to transcend nationality, language and race, according to the detainees’ video, letter and report. The majority of the men who signed the letter are asylum seekers from a wide range of countries, including Russia, China, Sudan, Afghanistan, Nepal and others.

One of the lead organizers of the hunger strike, a Russian asylum seeker named Idris Makhmudov, has reportedly been placed in solitary confinement this week, according to Monica Whatley, an organizer in Georgia from the Campaign to Shut Down the Folkston ICE processing center.

The letter further reads: “We come from different countries, races, believes [sic], and background, but we share one thing in common: we came to the United States seeking protection and have been detained since then.”

One of the largest gatherings of leading neo-Nazis and white nationalists in the US was exposed and disrupted in #Portland a few days ago.

quoting
note18en…n59l

This account was one of the organizers for the white supremacist weekend long event. Notice the handle "oregon weavers"
Sir Leif of Oregon has also publicly spoken about the Oregon chapter of "Basketweavers"
Basketweavers mostly operate in the shadows.
They are a massive far right network
predominantly operating in Europe. Most notably in Britain.

Basketweavers claim to be an apolitical group that primarily organises "social" events, but like their name, this is a ploy to distract outside attention from their white supremacy.
As David Reilly (who was also there) said when organizing Unite the Right, "stay in the closet" when referring to attendees making it known they are Nazis.

the Basketweavers are a deeply racist network whose goals are the radicalisation of lonely young men, the creation of whites only societies, and ultimately the cultivation of a "new elite"

the tactics they have used to stay off the radar of media and anti-fascists reflect a greater level of sophistication relative to other far right groups.
in the past, they have referred to secretive conferences vaguely as "the event" just how this past weekends in Portland did

Witnesses on the ground estimate that at least 12 people have been arrested and report that agents assaulted and tackled multiple individuals, pushing land defenders into barbed-wire fences, stomping on necks, and causing numerous injuries. Mexican police were also present for the raid, observing from the southern side of the border."

"In August, the local news outlet Double Sided Media filed a public records request for records about police officer Justin Peckels, which focused on potential misconduct between 2018 and 2026. Peckels has been the subject of community complaints, including for punching a resident in the face during a traffic stop, making the records vital for oversight and their release clearly in the public interest.

The city’s response is beyond belief. In its response to the request on Monday, the Eugene Police Department claimed searching for records and processing the request would take at least 44,816 hours of staff time and cost approximately $2,484,599.04. (A separate request by the outlet for similar records concerning a former police officer, Eric Klinko, was met with a comparatively modest estimate of $195,869.52, for a grand total of nearly $2.7 million for both requests.)"

The third is to thwart fascist efforts to engage in entryism targeting the emerging social struggles against AI, data centers, and Flock surveillance cameras.

2026-09-09T20:17:23Z

People in Frederick, MD mobilized over several days to defend their neighbors from an occupation of violent ICE agents, who attacked people who locked arms to defend ICE from entering a home.

"They described the neighborhood as “tight-knitted”with a concern of protecting their at-risk neighbors from harm and possible disappearance of their children.

The observer said that there were three levels of support. “There were people from that neighborhood, then there were people from Frederick, and after a call for help went out Friday morning, people from Montgomery County, Baltimore, Hagerstown, and surrounding areas showed up as well.”

There was a mix of experienced activists, some of whom were trained in ICEWatch and rapid response, and others who weren’t trained but just wanted to support their neighbors.

Outside groups began to mobilize to provide food and street medical technical support if needed. It would end up proving to be an important part of the logistics support in the hours to come.

Residents sat on corners in folding chairs holding signs and began their coordinating their 24-7 neighborhood watch. They had no idea how long ICE would be there.

”People organized watches for when the children got on and off the busses because ICE was posted up at a number of corners and intersections, and some of those places were bus stops. ICE wouldn’t move away when the kids were gathered there,” according to the source.

As the night fell, it became apparent what home ICE was targeting because they were parked in unmarked vehicles outside it. Neighbors formed a line outside the home on the sidewalk. They began dancing to music. Fed up with the neighborhood resistance, an ICE agent drove his unmarked vehicle onto the sidewalk in front of the targeted home, ordering the neighbors to get off the property. At the same time another ICE vehicle drove into the street blocking the neighbors from leaving via the street. Some walked onto the grass to avoid getting hit. Video shows the vehicle making contact with a woman. Per the observer, the woman’s foot was run over but her boots prevented injury.

The neighbors locked arms together and formed a human chain in front of the door of the home. ICE agents charged and pushed into them began beating the group. Several were injured. They were later treated by the street medical technicians. Video shows the brutality of ICE agents.

ICE agents went into the home after a youth opened the door. They did not find the person they were looking for. Once the house was cleared, ICE left shortly thereafter.

ICE agents detained one person who was near the porch but released them without charges on the side of a road some distance from the neighborhood."

We discuss the roots of the practice in communities, the ways that mutual aid can escape simple political orthodoxies, and how it can form the foundation of not only a response to the crises that we are living through, but also a route through which we can build the capacity to fight for something better in the midst of collapse.

"I’m known as The Minnesota “Spiderman”, and I’m asking for help after a violent incident in downtown Minneapolis on August 22. That day, racist supremacists invaded our streets and threatened the peace of our community. I tried to block their trucks’ path with a police barricade, but police removed it and let them through. As the vehicle moved toward the crowd, I jumped onto the moving truck because I felt I had to do whatever I could to protect the people around me. I was pushed off, punched in the face, and trampled by police who, in that moment, protected the real threat instead of the community. After I was already off the truck and on the sidelines, about five police officers came from behind, tackled me onto the concrete with full force, and took me into custody without reading my rights."

2026-08-13T03:55:45Z

"My co-defendant Cal said it best: “Homeland Security really kicked the hornets’ nest with this one.” The movement against ICE had burned out post-Metro Surge, after the state of Minnesota moved toward a strategy of local law enforcement cooperating with ICE to arrest immigrants on low-level offenses, turning folks over to ICE at county jails. This allowed ICE to quietly and more effectively carry out its work without the constant flashy confrontations of Metro Surge. The raids and indictments woke the Twin Cities up again. Hundreds have rallied at our court dates and the community is mobilizing for another wave of repression. Bluntly, the raids enraged the Twin Cities back into action.

For myself, I’ve received nothing but support here. My neighbors have offered to help my partner and I any way they can, donating money and food. People recognize me on the street and thank me for the work I’m alleged to have done. It’s very clear that the government’s claim that we are “a danger to our own community” is a load of horseshit and just about anyone in the Twin Cities will tell you as much. "

"Hundreds of noncitizens detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have gone on hunger strikes across the country to protest the widespread denial of due process and deteriorating conditions in detention centers during the Trump administration, according to advocates and detainees.

Conditions in ICE detention facilities have never been good, typically prompting around a dozen hunger strikes a year, said Josefina Mora-Cheung, director of organizing at La Resistencia, a grassroots organization that supports detainees at the Northwest ICE Processing Center (NWPIC) in Tacoma, Washington. Last year, La Resistencia documented 16 such protests, mostly carried out by single detainees. But this year, the group has already documented 18 hunger strikes involving about 25 individuals at NWPIC, the most recent of which ended July 20. "

Hey everyone,

The people of the Greater Fox Valley region of Wisconsin got hit hard by a devastating tornado through our residential areas today. The city of Menasha, the city hit the hardest, has been cut off by police, nobody in, nobody out. Houses were destroyed, businesses were leveled, vehicles of all kinds were thrown all around. Trees are knocked over and powerlines are on the ground. The power is out all throughout the valley. The water is bad to drink, do not drink the tap water. No information is going to people that need it. Police have issued a curfew from 10pm tonight to 5am tomorrow. Many services are out of order such as power, gas, internet, and other services. Nobody inside menasha really knows what is going on over there because information is not being put out efficiently by city and county officials.

We will continue to update everyone with what is going on as soon as we get information.

- In Solidarity, OVN

"Polzin, an 18-year-old with no prior criminal record, now faces a charge that could result in a maximum sentence of ten years in prison and/or a $250,000 fine. The potential punishment for this case is not proportional to the alleged crime. Much like how the FBI hunted down Earth liberation activists and labeled them as terrorists, this case is less about property damage than it is about making an example of one individual to quiet a powerful movement for change. While May 29, 2020 protestors who were charged by the county escaped with mostly misdemeanors due to the defendant’s ages and lack of criminal records, Eugene Police still dedicated over a thousand hours to investigating trespassing, theft and property damage from that night. These two separate investigations into broken windows demonstrate the disparity in potential consequences for young suspects, but both show that law enforcement will spare no expense when it comes to investigating politically motivated property damage."

Staff at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Delaney Hall Detention Facility — a Newark immigration jail operated by the private prison giant GEO Group — took steps to crack down on the strikes, including attacking immigration detainees with pepper spray and batons, transferring protest leaders to other facilities, and shutting down family visitation, advocates and relatives of detainees told The Intercept."

Why there is no humanitarian aid entering Gaza and asking these questions make it complicated for them. Because they cannot justify it.”

The Trump administration’s sanctioning of flotilla organizers is only the latest in its pattern of imposing sanctions on human rights lawyers, activists, and organizations working to end the genocide in Gaza. Others sanctioned by the U.S. have spoken of the debilitating effects of the sanctions, even outside of the U.S. Judges of the International Criminal Court, for example, have said that Trump’s sanctions left them “wiped out economically and socially.”

YouTube has started restricting most of our recent videos. They can still be viewed by turning off "Restricted Mode," but this is only possible to do if you have control of your computer. I.e. people accessing our content from the library, schools, and other public institutions may no longer have the ability to do so. 🫤

Restricted videos include last week's conversation with Jarrod Shanahan and Eman Abdelhadi, a recent panel discussion on disability representation in YA, conversations on supermax prisons, science history, attacks on trans people, New Orleans, Rojava, and more.

Why now? An event in April with Tomas Rothaus and CrimethInc. Ex-Workers Collective (npub1m0c…j6rl) attracted significant far Right attention, and these restrictions are likely the result of a concerted, bad-faith effort to remove our content.

"Inequality is through the roof. A bona fide tech oligarchy is ascendent, buffeted by leverage provided by AI. Its data centers, which bring few jobs and hike electricity bills, are enraging communities on the right and the left. Slop is everywhere. AI-generated art and text is undercutting creatives, powered by pirated, non-consensually ingested work. Employers from Amazon to Block to Duolingo to Meta are firing tens of thousands of workers and citing AI as the reason. AI may one day cure cancer, we’re told; great, even if we believe that, who will be able to afford the treatment?

That’s the anger fueling the anti-AI violence. To the handwringing AI industry insiders blaming doomers and poor messaging, ordinary people are saying: Wake up. We have good reason to hate AI and the people who profit from it. And yes, as people get desperate, as young people increasingly feel like AI elites have mortgaged their future, as residents who vote to regulate AI or ban local data center projects only to see their will overridden in favor of industry interests—well how do you expect them to feel? What do you expect? There is a distinct risk of further escalation."

While many have long dismissed a May Day general strike as a pipe dream, it seems more likely in the wake of the Minnesota General Strike and the energy of the "No Kings Movement."

"While these charges represent a new weapon of the state against those struggling against US fascism and ICE terror, they are just another chapter in the US government’s long history of using courts, police, and deportation against leftists, the colonized, and people of color fighting for liberation. From the Palmer Raids of the 1900s, which led to the deportation of hundreds of immigrant anarchists, socialists, and trade unionists; to the trials of the Chicago 7 and the Panther 21 during the 1960s, and to the modern day with the J20 defendants, and now, the Prairieland 9.

And just as these defendants join a long tradition of the American empire jailing people for their politics, we too must join the long tradition of solidarity with political prisoners. It was only through solidarity that the verdict of the Chicago 7 was overturned on appeal, that the Panther 21 were acquitted, and that the charges of the J20 defendants were dropped."

"The risks are real. Customs and Border Protection agents have the authority to examine travelers’ devices. In June, for instance, federal agents denied a Norwegian tourist entry to the U.S. after looking through his phone. (Authorities claim they turned him away for admitted drug use; he says it was over a meme depicting Vice President JD Vance as a bald baby.)

Immigration and Customs Enforcement have already started targeting travelers, with agents in plain clothes forcefully detaining a mother in front of her young daughter at San Francisco International Airport on Sunday after a tip from the Transportation Security Administration.

If you’re flying, take these steps to reduce the likelihood that your sensitive information is compromised at the airport."

"Philosophy professor Idris Robinson has sued Texas State University officials, asserting that the school violated his constitutional rights by ending his contract after he gave a talk on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict off-campus in another state where a fight broke out, the Guardian has learned.

Robinson’s complaint names the school’s president, Kelly Damphousse, three top college officials, and the school’s board of regents. It concerns one of the more drawn-out and unusual cases of a university punishing faculty for expressing views on Israel and Palestine, following a social media campaign against Robinson.

A tenure-track professor with four years of stellar performance reviews, according to the complaint, Robinson has been told he will no longer have a job in May, for a talk he gave two years earlier at a North Carolina anarchist book fair, in no way affiliated with the university.

Robinson, the only Black philosophy professor at Texas State, said he filed the complaint because he “wants them to fulfill their side of the contract” – referring to his performance reviews and tenure track – and “to fight back against the prohibition of any discourse on Palestine that isn’t part of the mainstream political class."

Hundreds mobilized in Memphis, Tennessee to protest and denounce a visit from Trump, as the deadly war in Iran continues to rage, conditions in the US only worsen, and state repression ramps up.

A tiny rally of a "couple dozen people attended a morning rally [in] support [of] Trump..."

Don't miss this latest installment of In Contempt!

"We return, our hearts inflamed for our companions in struggle enduring the worst of state repression, with the latest In Contempt, a roundup of repression news, political prisoner updates, and prisoner rebellions. While repression may be inevitable for any movement for freedom, the future of the prison world is not. Until the day the cages are empty and the prisons are ashes, we must support those fighting inside for freedom."

Absolute must read from Alissa Azar (npub1h9q…fkmf) about the Prairieland case and why we need to rally and support all those across the US who the state is targeting for extreme repression.

"This wasn’t the only allusion to cults made during the trial. Indeed, the most consequential piece of the case against the Prairieland defendants is how prosecutors defined what counts as “conspiracy.” With the outcome of this trial potentially creating a new weapon with which the Trump administration can bludgeon its political opponents—sidestepping the First Amendment—prosecutors effectively concocted a “criminal enterprise” through innuendo and partial truths. Before the trial, the FBI described one defendant’s home as a “commune,” presumably because the group of friends living there together were pooling cash for the mortgage. "
