Students!
As you return to class this month, this is the perfect time to form an anarchist student organization! You could organize social gatherings, speaking events, film screenings, concerts, protests, and more.
We're counting on you to make contact with others like you and radicalize your peers! The future depends on you!
Here's an example of how one anarchist student organization got going:

And if you need inspiration, look at what anarchist students in Chile do!

Cheers to the protester who interrupted Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey today with a banner reading “FREY DOES NOT CONCEDE UNLAWFUL BEHAVIOR BY THE MPD, REOPEN ALL CASES!”
Earlier this summer, Frey co-signed a document reading: “...the city does not concede that there is a pattern or practice of unlawful behavior by the Minneapolis Police Department.” Even the Department of Justice, itself a bastion of police violence, has declared that "The Minneapolis Police Department and the City of Minneapolis engage in a pattern or practice of conduct in violation of the US Constitution and federal law."
As anarchists, we are not surprised when police violate laws, nor that politicians from across the political spectrum support them in this. Police, laws, and government itself are all instruments of white supremacy and domination. Only grassroots resistance can limit the harm they do.

As Hurricane Idalia hits Florida, following record-setting heat waves and forest fires from Greece to Canada to Hawaii, remember:
The corporate profiteers and politicians who are forcing climate catastrophe on us have names and addresses.
Don't let them get away with it.

Today, our thoughts are with those impacted by Hurricane Idalia.
We will post resources for mutual aid efforts as we receive them.
Read about anarchist relief efforts in response to Hurricane Florence, five years ago:

Read about how capitalism and colonialism exacerbate natural catastrophes, and how communities can create truly resilient infrastructure for all:

"Yes, they tore up the streets with jackhammers, but the police couldn’t see or hear them doing so because the jackhammers were concealed beneath the skirts of stilt-walkers and drowned out by techno music."

Today, we remember our friend and comrade, David Graeber, who passed away three years ago.
To honor his life, you could read this text he published with us:
https://crimethinc.com/ShockofVictory
Or visit these projects set up in his memory:
https://museum.care/
https://davidgraeber.institute/
But the very best thing you can do is to continue his legacy of anarchist critical thinking. That's what David would have wanted.

Labor Day, a government-sponsored fake alternative to May Day, is a great day to read "The Mythology of Work," debunking the myths that keep our eyes on the clock, our noses to the grindstone, and our hands busy generating profit for our enemies:

All of us deserve to be able to spend our lives fulfilling our potential on our own terms, contributing to our communities rather than fattening the pockets of capitalists. That's what real freedom means!

Elon Musk has been working with open anti-Semites this week to mobilize people against the Anti-Defamation League, as a way to blame declining advertising sales (caused by him welcoming self-declared Nazis back to Twitter) on Jewish people.
Now, in dialogue with one of these bigots, he is promising to do a "giant data dump" on the ADL and other groups, with the presumable goal of enabling anti-Semites to harass, attack, and kill people.
We warned that Musk took over Twitter with the explicit goal of seizing territory for the far right, but even we didn't expect it to go so far, so fast.
