In the year since the George Floyd uprising, both far-right reactionaries and liberal Democrats have sought to conceal the fact that together, we have the power to abolish the police and make a new world.
We remember this moment—exactly one year ago tonight. May we never forget.

The fireworks display outside afterwards in celebration, as the police surveillance cameras burn, is a beautiful and romantic moment, even in the midst of heartbreaking tragedies at what seems like the end of the world. Let's take care of each other. Stay…
The Revolt in Haifa: An Eyewitness Report
https://cwc.im/HaifaRevolt
An anonymous participant documents the May 2021 revolt in Haifa and the surrounding area, and the ensuing far-right violence and repression—exploring the tension between horizontal resistance and state power.
"What we desperately need right now is a joint insurrection, co-resistance, involving Jews and Arabs and all the people of this land, against all the authorities that keep us down and prevent us from seeing each other as fellow human beings. In the spaces of revolt, we must create autonomous liberated territories in which we could construct new ways of seeing each other and the world around us—to reinvent living, sharing a space as equals."

Mikhail Bakunin was born on this day in 1814.
“To love is to desire the liberty, the complete independence, of another person; the first act of true love is the complete emancipation of the object of our love; one can truly love only a perfectly free being, independent not only of all the others, but even and especially of the one who loves him, by whom he is loved and whom he loves himself—here is my profession of political, social and religious faith.”
-Mikhail Bakunin, March 29, 1845, in a letter to his brother Paul.

Though both Trump and the Democratic party worked to change the subject from abolishing the police to electoral politics—a year ago, Newsweek reported that the burning of the Third Precinct was more popular than any of the candidates in the 2020 election.

El fin de semana del 15 y 16 de mayo de 2021, los votantes en Chile eligieron a los delegados que asistirán a la convención que compondrá una nueva constitución para el país. La derecha fue decisivamente derrotada en estas elecciones. Los medios tradicionales han anunciado este resultado como una victoria de la política “independiente”—pero ¿qué significado tendrá esto para los movimientos autonomistas que dieron impulso a los políticos izquierdistas en primer lugar?

The murder of Deona Marie Erickson in Minneapolis on June 13 was the result of years of right-wing efforts to normalize—and even legalize—vehicular attacks. Now the corporate media has ceased to prioritize covering them, paving the way for more killings.

Why We Don't Make Demands
The problem isn’t that today’s movements lack demands—the problem is the politics of demands itself. The alternative is to set our agenda on our own terms, outside the discourse of those in power.
