Today, for the second time in three years, a proponent of colonialism shot someone protesting the statue honoring genocidal conquistador Don Juan de Oñate.
For years, far-right politicians, pundits, and prosecutors have encouraged their followers to engage in shootings and vehicular attacks.
Some of what they have done to encourage shooters:

Anarchists have always been at the front of struggles against fascism. Yet liberals consistently seek to associate anarchy with fascism and authoritarianism, intentionally misusing the word in order to muddy the waters.
Seeking to concentrate oppressive power in the hands of autocrats is precisely the opposite of anarchy. The only reason to create confusion about this is to discredit anarchists, presumably in order to reduce the imaginable political terrain to a binary between different degrees of state violence and oppression.
Those who smear anarchism reveal their own authoritarianism and dishonesty.

Today, demonstrators in San Pablo, California took action against a proposed 43 million dollar police militarization facility.
Across the spectrum, politicians aim to weather the ecological and economic crises ahead of us by using brute force to control the desperate and displaced, pouring public resources into militarizing the police. The fight to #StopCopCity in Atlanta is part of a worldwide struggle over our future.

Since far-right pundits are spreading alarmism about it, this is as good a time as any to direct your attention to our guide to organizing in affinity groups.
https://crimethinc.com/affinitygroup
"Getting organized doesn’t mean joining a pre-existing institution and taking orders. It shouldn’t mean forfeiting your agency and intelligence to become a cog in a machine. From an anarchist perspective, organizational structure should maximize both freedom and voluntary coordination at every level of scale, from the smallest group up to society as a whole.
"You and your friends already constitute an affinity group, the essential building block of this model. An affinity group is a circle of friends who understand themselves as an autonomous political force. The idea is that people who already know and trust each other should work together to respond immediately, intelligently, and flexibly to emerging situations."

“Wait…but there’s no broken glass or even graffiti.”
“And?”
“I mean the shelves are all empty. Did they just evacuate all the merchandise?”
“Haha what?! No. We looted it, the whole neighborhood. Well, women and children first.”
“And no one destroyed… anything?”
“Listen, we don’t want them to get a bigger insurance claim. Besides, if things keep going the way they are, that building may soon be ours.”
“I hope so. I can’t imagine things ever going this far in the states. Good luck with your struggle.”
“NO! No no no, brother—OUR struggle. You’re here. You’re in this. Tell people.”
“I don’t even know how I’d explain this to anyone back home.”
“Explain it like this: neoliberalism was born in Chile, and here it will die.”

Our comrades at Municipal Adhesives have reprinted these stickers. You can order them in bulk here, extremely cheap:

They produced the stickers as a solidarity gesture to help keep our project visible in the streets after we were banned from certain corporate social media platforms.
Together, we are unstoppable! 🏴🏴🏴

If you let the government go on reinforcing the institutions that prevent other people from traveling freely, you make it virtually inevitable that eventually, when you have to flee from a hurricane, forest fire, economic crisis, or war, you will find those same agencies cutting off your escape route.

Refugees will continue to cross borders—legally or not—as long as they are driven by desperate need. The solution is not to build more walls, but to address the root causes of the escalating disparities in wealth and power that are destroying communities around the world.
Abolish borders. Solidarity forever. 🏴

Facing prison time for solidarity actions, an anarchist from Jaffa speaks on the new escalation of violence in Palestine.
A longtime participant in Anarchists Against the Wall and other projects, he also explores how the Israeli judicial system structurally oppresses Palestinians, explains how to support Palestinian prisoners, and evaluates the effectiveness of solidarity efforts over the years.
