This week, there are demonstrations in New York City after police attacked a person they accused of dodging the fare on the subway. Multiple police opened fire, shooting the suspect, each other, and several other people who happened to be in the station.
It's senseless to have police randomly shooting people to enforce a $2.90 fare. Make the subways free as a step towards the abolition of capitalism and police.

This week, there are demonstrations in New York City after police attacked a person they accused of dodging the fare on the subway. Multiple police opened fire, shooting the suspect, each other, and several other people who happened to be in the station. …
A report on tonight's demonstration from Writers against the War on Gaza:
"Tonight, New Yorkers stood up for their community and protested the expansion and impunity of the police occupation of their city. Last Sunday, the NYPD shot Derrell Mickles and three others after Mickles allegedly entered the platform through the emergency exit at the Sutter Avenue station in Brownsville—committing a mass shooting in one of New York City’s poorest neighborhoods. In response, hundreds of city residents conducted a mass fare evasion at the West 4th station, hopping the turnstiles to say clearly that no one should be killed for not having $2.90, that in fact the subway should be free—and free of cops."
In fact, it was a demonstration very much like this one that set off the Chilean uprising of 2019.

Rebellious souls in Russia have sent us a photograph of this banner hanging over the train tracks in the Leningrad region. It reads "ПРИЗНАЙСЯ, ЧТО ХОЧЕШЬ ВОССТАНИЯ!"—"Say You Want an Insurrection," the noscript of our text about insurrectionary anarchism.
They add:
"Rebellion is a time when fear turns into joy. This time is not in the past and does not wait in the future. Rebellion lives in the present. The rebellion of ungovernable lives against the military death machine, of unbridled diversity against xenophobia and patriarchal cynicism, of everything strange against the general fatigue, apathy, and boredom.
"The uprising speaks in each of us in the transcendent languages of rage and love. Our distant friends, we are beside you, we are among you. isn't it time for us to admit, together, that we want the same—many and different—uprisings!"
It is heartening to know that even under conditions of intense repression, the desire to revolt thrives.

The Israeli government is doing its best to escalate a military conflict with Hezbollah. In addition to threatening the lives of countless people, this also undermines the possibility of positive social change throughout the region.
In 2019, a grassroots uprising broke out against the sectarian parties that rule Lebanon, including Hezbollah. Movements like this on both sides of every nationalist conflict represent the only real hope for peace worldwide.
For background on the uprising, read this interview with Elia Ayoub:
https://crimethinc.com/LebanonUprising
Hezbollah derives much of its perceived legitimacy in Lebanon from the threat of Israeli violence. Israeli aggression will only consolidate its hold. To understand why, consult this new text from Elia Ayoub:

Nationalists seek to impose their wars as the only imaginable horizon of possibility. This is one of the many reasons we must put an end to Israeli colonial violence.

In August 2024, a wave of protests rocked Indonesia, ostensibly in response to political machinations aimed at anointing a successor to President Joko Widodo, popularly known as Jokowi. Very little information has circulated about these protests in the English-speaking world. To get a sense of the deeper issues at play, we reached out to anarchist participants in different parts of Indonesia.

«Vive Libre, Viaja Libre, A la mierda NYPD (Policía de Nueva York)»
Informe de una evasión masiva de billetes en Nueva York

La semana pasada se produjeron una serie de manifestaciones en la ciudad de Nueva York después de que la policía atacara a una persona a la que acusaba de evadir el pago del billete en el metro. La policía abrió fuego y disparó a la persona sospechosa, a un agente y a varias personas que se encontraban en la estación. Esto muestra el coste real de que la policía haga cumplir la tarifa del metro. Recibimos el siguiente informe de una acción masiva de evasión de tarifas en Manhattan en la noche del 18 de septiembre.

Memento Mori: We Endlings
Today marks eight years since the passing of Toughie, last of the Rabbs’ fringe-limbed tree frogs.

The term for a creature that is the sole survivor of his species is "endling." This neologism has only recently become necessary in our language. What can endlings tell us about ourselves and the future of our species?
