Donate to abortion access funds. Make sure everyone has the means to access the care they need. These are essential defensive measures.

But to halt the assault on reproductive freedom, we also need an offensive strategy. Politicians will only to choose to respect our autonomy if they know the alternative is worse for them.

To confront the legislative assault on trans people, we must shift from a discourse of protecting rights to a practice of fighting for gender self-determination.

In this analysis, we discuss why this assault is happening now—what it means in a global context—and how we can resist.

“The family is the foundation of society.” A poster in Vichy France during the Pétain administration—the ally of Hitler’s Nazi Germany.

Republican rhetoric about "protecting children" has a long and racist history, with roots in the Jim Crow era. The legislative assault on trans people is just the latest stage in a global reactionary wave.

They don't care about kids—they want power.

https://cwc.im/GenderSelfDetermination

On #MothersDay, we reaffirm that every person who can give birth to a child deserves complete self-determination at every point in the process.

We owe the Supreme Court and the police nothing. They exist only to oppress, to control, to brutalize.

We owe each other solidarity. That's the only way we can be free. 🏴

"When we say work, we mean all activity that is dictated by the imperative to turn a profit, whether for oneself or someone else. It’s important to define work this way, because we’re not just talking about wage labor—we’re also talking about slave labor, prison labor, unpaid housework, internships, and a wide range of forms of self-employment and self-marketing that are just as alienating as working under a boss."

"When we say anti-work, we don’t mean an abstract political position disapproving of work—we mean a practice that actively abolishes the necessity to work, the way that anti-matter annihilates matter. In other words, an activity aimed at doing away with all the mechanisms that serve to concentrate power—from debt to intellectual property rights and the prison-industrial complex. All the things that force us to keep putting our noses back to the grindstone when there are so many other things we’d prefer to be doing."

“In our country,” said Alice, still panting a little, “you’d generally get to somewhere else—if you run very fast for a long time, as we’ve been doing.”

“A slow sort of country!” said the Queen. “Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!”

“ I live in the Atlanta Forest & own a home in one of the neighborhoods that would be most impacted by Cop City. Today there was an interagency operation lead by Atlanta Police at the behest of Brasfield & Gorrie and Ryan Millsap of Blackhall Entertainment. The police raided a growing protest encampment in these woods, training SWAT rifles on environmental activists. This is an attempt to demoralize a vibrant and diverse movement lead by local community members against the replacement of the largest urban tree canopy in the U.S. with the largest police training compound in the United States.
The proposed site for Cop City is a historical site where human slavery and forced labor camp were used to work the land, following the forced removal of Muscogee people on the Trail of Tears. This land not only is the “lungs of Atlanta” due to being ecologically critical to the city’s survival, it’s a site of the scars of Atlanta’s past, with numerous unmarked graves. All of this police resource mobilization is to bulldoze it over and construct the $90 million Cop City not two years after George Floyd’s summary execution by Minneapolis police catalyzed a historic nationwide uprising of 20 million people against militarized police. They are not unaware of these history. At the last Community Stakeholder’s meeting, the APF suggested re-opening the forced labor camps as “gardens” on site and staffing them with children who are imprisoned at the adjacent Juvenile Jail, essentially re-vitalizing the Atlanta prison farm model.

Today, police attacked protestors in the forest because in the past year and especially in the past week, hundreds of community members and concerned people came to this camp and joined together to apply pressure against this project. The police will attempt to depict this movement as a small group of hardline activists, or “outside agitators.” We are not extremists. We are neighbors of the forest and residents of South Atlanta. Most importantly however this movement simply consists of intelligent people who know that the future of the world is on fire, and who are determined and willing to organize ourselves and act to defend what remains to sustain life in this city and life on this planet.

This is a site of migratory wading birds, a place where animals make their homes, where salamanders lay their eggs. This forest is defense against flooding of all nearby homes across historically Black neighborhoods in south Atlanta and southwest Dekalb. This forest if what prevents the urban heat island effect. This is why the movement has broad popular support from locals and people across the country and world alike. The city, like the world, is only getting hotter, rent is only getting more expensive, food and gas prices are only rising. The city has no answers for this except a more militarized police force. But floodwaters do not abide property or jurisdiction lines. The climate does not obey the police. You can’t prop up a free society with violence alone. That’s what they are attempting to do with the construction of Cop City. If we don’t want to be ruled over in this society by strongmen and bullies who meet behind closed doors and who deploy tasers and tear gas in order to enforce their control over our bodies, our homes, our livelihoods, our children and the earth, then we must resist this project & all others like it. We must resist the ongoing expansion of the police and their power. We must join together and fight for our home, this forest and the earth.

People worldwide support this movement. Everyone is welcome in this movement. For the last year, we have asked that you come to the Atlanta Forest. Even if you can’t come here, anyone can take action to pressure stakeholders, contractors and those with the power Stop Cop City. The fight to defend the forest is on many fronts.

Please donate to the Atlanta Solidarity Fund.”

نکات فشن برای افراد بی‌باک

هدف از اجرای این تاکتیک موسوم به بلوک سیاه (Black Bloc) این است که با پوشیدن لباس‌های سراسر مشکی همه تا جای ممکن مثل هم باشند، به این ترتیب در حالت ایدئال، هیچ فردی در توده‌ی افراد ناشناس قابل شناسایی نخواهد بود. این به حفظ امنیت همه کمک می‌کند. اگر تنها عده‌ای از افراد درون بلوک این توصیه‌ها را عملی کنند، پلیس به سادگی می‌تواند افراد و گروه‌ها را هدف قرار دهد، و نتیجه برای همه خطرآفرین خواهد بود. کسانی که تلاش می‌کنند ناشناس باقی بمانند توجهات را به خود جلب می‌کنند و باقی افراد نیز به آسانی شناسایی می‌شوند و به اهدافی آسان برای حمله تبدیل می‌شوند. هیچ‌یک از این شرایط مطلوب نیست.

فرهنگ امنیت

https://crimethinc.com/2004/11/01/frhng-mnyt

فرهنگ امنیت یک‌سری از عادات مشترک بین افراد یک اجتماع است که اعضای آن ممکن است تحت نظر حکومت باشند. این عادات برای به حداقل رساندن خطر طراحی شده‌اند. در کار بودن یک فرهنگ امنیت، افراد را از درگیری مداوم و پایه‌ای با نکات امنیتی رها می‌کند؛ و می‌تواند از شکاک‌بودن و وحشت‌زده شدن در موقعیت‌های پراسترس جلوگیری کند، مهم‌تر از همه می‌تواند مانع به زندان افتادن‌تان شود! تفاوت بین پروتکل و فرهنگ این است که فرهنگ ناخودآگاه، غریزی و نتیجتاً بدون زحمت است؛ به محض این که امن‌ترین رفتار ممکن برای همه در حلقه‌هایی که درون آن از جایی به جایی دیگر می‌روید، تبدیل به عادت شود، می‌توانید وقت و انرژی کمتری برای تاکید بر لزوم آن صرف کنید؛ در خطر نتایج حاصل از رعایت نکردن آن نباشید، یا نگران میزان خطری نباشید که متوجهتان است، چرا که همگی هرآنچه که برای مراقبت در توان دارید انجام می‌دهید. اگر شما عادت کنید که چیز حساسی را درباره‌ی خودتان فاش نکنید، می‌توانید بدون دغدغۀ این که دیگران اطلاعاتی هستند یا نه، با آن‌ها همکاری کنید؛.
