How did voting kill Edgar Allen Poe, and why is a crater on the dark side of the moon named for the man who blew up the Tsar? This is no mere miscellany, but a lighthearted work of serious literature, concentrating a wealth of ideas and history into aphorisms and anecdotes."

On the 2022 Philippine Elections: Anarchist Strategies amid the Dying Liberal Status Quo

The same court that gladly released the cop who murdered 15-year-old Alexis Grigoropoulos is refusing to recognize the legal rights of Giannis Michailidis, who has been on hunger strike for 67 days now.

They want him to die on hunger strike. This is why they continue to deny him his guaranteed legal right to study, as well as rejecting the possibility of parole.

We mourn the passing of Albert Woodfox, Black Panther and prison organizer. The United States government stole decades of his life, keeping him in solitary confinement for over 43 years. We salute his courage and persistence.

Abolish the prison-industrial complex.
