I do get a kick out of Senator JD Vance howling with indignation that folks on the left need to dial down the divisive rhetoric as if we're all unaware who his running mate is. As a matter of fact, before my day got away from me yesterday, I'd planned to splice together a batch of clips of one Donald John Trump and his many years of heated rancor. Fortunately, the Daily Show has a staff capable of doing that while I'm just a staff of one. There's plenty of coverage pre-January 6th that we could (and do) go back to ... or just last year with Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg having to hire private security (wonder why?) Quietly, and without much fanfare, the three Atlanta Solidarity Fund organizers who had money laundering charges up to their eyeballs were let off the hook by the Georgia Attorney General for all bout one charge. Meanwhile, protestors have a lot of balls - ping pong balls - to drop on city council for their inaction on the ballot measure more than 100,000 residents signed a petition for. Lastly, we now know The Fed lowered their prime rate by a whopping 0.5% - more than I and most experts expected - but good news for just about all of us not named Donald Trump.
Join Dean Spade & organizers from Atlanta as they discuss how to protect our communities against recent threats to mutual aid & solidarity efforts. This event took place on August 17, 2023. In the last year, we've seen attempts to criminalize mutual aid become more common as an authoritarian tactic. The recent attacks on mutual aid organizers of the Atlanta Solidarity Fund brought into full view how charging, surveillance, and targeted criminalization are an ongoing strategy to shut down political movements and community organizing. In this session, we'll be reviewing how media, right-wing movements, and even supposed allies have often latched onto incorrect and spurious claims about non-profit finances, community organizing structures, and basic accounting practices in attempts to stop the solidarity of mutual aid. Join organizer Dean Spade, author of Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During This Crisis (and the next), along with Kamau Franklin of Community Movement Builders, Zohra Ahmed from the University of GA School of Law, plus organizers from the National Bail Fund Network and the Yellowhammer Fund, to discuss the threats organizers are facing and how we protect each other and social justice organizing.

Sixty-one people were just indicted for their alleged involvement in the movement to Stop Cop City. These folks were slapped with RICO charges, which were designed to go after the mob. Some were charged for crimes as small as handing out fliers, serving as a legal observer during a protest, and organizing a bail fund.Our guest is abolitionist organizer Micah Herskind, who has been involved with and written extensively about the movement to Stop Cop City. You can read his Primer on Cop City in Scalawag here. Follow Micah Herskind on Twitter: @micahinATLAs we discuss, the RICO indictment seeks to criminalize and shut down the decentralized movement against the massive urban warfare training center for police known as Cop City. The indictment even lists “mutual aid” “solidarity” and “collectivism” as essential to what they are calling an “organized criminal enterprise” against Cop City. This is an outrageous abuse of power by the state which threatens to strip away our very right to protest.YOU CAN HELP THE FOLKS FACING THESE INSANE CHARGES by donating to the Atlanta Solidarity Fund. https://atlsolidarity.org/This episode was hosted by Dr. Erika Okamoto of the Cocktails & Capitalism podcast — a show that pairs crafted beverages with stories distilled from our capitalist hellscape.

YEAH, PUSH IT! PUSH IT REAL GOOD! WITH YOUR MIND, THOUGH, NOT YOUR HANDS. It's mind over matter as Gabe and returning guest Jim Laczkowski take a look at more movies about the potential power of the human brain. This time, we're focusing on something a little less esoteric than Existential State Manipulation: telekinesis. But we're not covering the big names – no Carrie, no superhero movies, no Star Wars, not even Zapped. Instead, we're talking about Jack Gold's The Medusa Touch (1978), Roland Emmerich's Making Contact (aka: Joey, 1985), Pierre David's Scanner Cop (1994), and Yeon Sang-ho's Psychokinesis (Korean: Yeom-lyeok, 2018).

The City of Atlanta wants to spend $90 million in taxpayer dollars to tear down forest and build a police training center, where they will build a mock city for training for urban warfare, engage in explosions testing, have shooting ranges, and controlled building burns. This proposal is deeply unpopular among Atlanta residents, who want the money to be spent on several other areas where there are pressing needs, including education and healthcare. The major supporters of Cop City are major corporations - not the actual residents who will be targeted by the police trained at Cop City. The good news is community organizers have organized an opportunity to put Cop City to a public vote. By August 14th, they need to collect 70,000 signatures from registered voters in Atlanta to secure a referendum on the November 7th ballot on whether Cop City should be funded.

In this episode we welcome on multiple activists and organizers involved in the struggle to stop cop city. For this discussion Kamau Franklin from Community Movement Builders, and Micah Herskind return to the podcast, and K from Unity and Struggle, and Matthew Johnson from the Stop Cop City Faith Coalition join them to talk about various facets of the movement to stop cop city current strategic and tactical questions and concerns. They each provide brief introductions during the show itself. We catch folks up on some of the important recent events in this struggle since our conversation on the movement last Fall. We discusss the repression of the Atlanta Solidarity Fund, the use of domestic terrorism charges, and against firm and nearly unanimous public opposition the Atlanta City Council's recent allocation of the funding for the building of Cop City. We also get into the new referendum initiative and some of the tactical and strategic debates around that effort. Further all of our guests offer up multiple ways that people can get involved and plug into the struggle against cop city wherever they are. This week is a week of action in the struggle to Stop Cop City so we will include links with more information on ways people can get involved in that as well. UPDATES which occurred after the recording (which are relevant to some discussions within the episode): The referendum effort is now underway, the county clerk approved the ability of organizers to begin collecting signatures a couple of hours after we recorded this conversation. Dekalb County DA Sherry Boston has withdrawn her office from the prosecution of 42 cases against stop cop city activists due to movement pressure. And we are almost at the end of the month, this is our 7th and final episode for the month of June. We are unlikely to hit our goal for new patrons of the month, as we are still over new 10 patrons away from reaching it. But any support you can offer is very much needed and appreciated.

Cop City is a proposed training facility established to further militarize our police departments. Cop City in Atlanta has been met with protests as the corporations behind this compound seek to increase their influence and subsequently use public police departments as their public/private CAPOS or mafia-like enforcers against those pesky people who actually believe in democracy. A young activist named Manuel Paez Teran was shot 57 TIMES by Atlanta police during a non-violent protest. He was 26 years old at the time of his police murder. Protests continued and predictably arrests followed for what is protected 1st amenndment activities. A group called the Atlanta Solidarity Fund raises funds and arranges bail and attorneys for arrested protesters. Three of this group's organizers were arrested in a violent SWAT attack on their home. The ramifications for democracy are obvious. This is story #1. Story #2 This ties in with the first story. I will begin to discuss the corporate interests behind Cop City and the obvious conflict of interest. I will also begin to discuss the danger of new laws which expand the definition of 'terrorism.' We will also have our 'My Little Margie" segment and of course the "Jackass of the Week Award." Come join me. Jeanine

So what does Chris Christie entering the race do for the GOP presidential primary hierarchy? And why do his attacks on Trump sound like those the Biden/Harris campaign should be writing down? Then, there's the breaking news: Tia Mitchell at the AJC revealed that a Homeland Security designation used to bolster arrest warrants for the three Atlanta Solidarity Fund volunteers was essentially "made up." Alex Joseph from the Cop City Vote movement joins me to discuss that and the referendum campaign that launched today.
Isaac joins Kei and Leila from Stop Cop City/Defend Atlanta Forest for a discussion on the movement, its strategy and its ultimate goals. They discuss what brought them into the movement, what the Weelaunee coalition and the Atlanta Police Foundation are, how the movement uses three prongs to aim for victory, and how it relates to the political landscape in Atlanta. They also touch on the centrality of care in a movement which has seen someone murdered, as well as the links to contemporary ecosocialism and abolitionism. You can donate to the Atlanta Solidarity Fund here.
Public comments abound - most of it (again) against the proposed public safety training facility. You wouldn't know that by following the official city of Atlanta Twitter account - which shared two pro-facility comments before removing those video shares. Anyhow, you'll hear from Dr. Jackie Echols of the South River Watershed Alliance, along with representation from the NAACP and a passionate pushback from Shannon Cofrin Gaggaro - a close friend of Amy St. Pierre. Amy was a mass shooting victim in Atlanta recently, but was invoked (without name) in a recent op/ed penned by Mayor Andre Dickens. Shannon penned a response op/ed the Cox Media Group-owned AJC has opted not to publish, so the Atlanta Press Collective did. CMG, by the way, is an Atlanta Police Foundation corporate donor. Both of Georgia's Senators have (finally) weighed in on #copcity in the aftermath of the Atlanta Solidarity Fund arrests, and I have their statements.

More amazing economic news that OUGHT to be making the case for a Biden/Harris 2024 landslide - so WHY do polls not show that? I've some ideas. Atlanta Solidarity Fund volunteers had their bond hearing today - and the way the judge reacted to the charges is quite telling. Big updates coming to AmericaOne Radio's app and website, and that got me to waxing grateful. Lastly, this being Pride month, allow me to share some opportunities for our straight allies to reconsider some things they may think or say (or once did).
Three organizers who have been linked to helping protesters fight against the proposed Atlanta Public Safety Training Center have been arrested and charged.

Atlanta resident, former state & federal prosecutor Alex Joseph is on to explain the charges against three Atlanta Solidarity Fund volunteers. Ooh, and HAPPY PRIDE! I'm also joined by Ari Drennen, LGBTQIA+ program director at Media Matters for America to discuss the disparate coverage Fox News has given Target's pride merch vs MORE Catholic sexual abuse allegations coming forward. Who, exactly, is "targeting kids" exactly? I round out the show with some discussion about Governor Kemp's flex aimed at some Dems in the General Assembly next election cycle and why even I'M skeptical about spending $6.7 million on mass transit.
Whoa; a SWAT raid of the Atlanta Solidarity Fund "Teardown House" netted three arrests for ... "money laundering?" While the price tag for "Cop City" has doubled, this is latest salvo? Interesting. Local activist & writer Micah Herskind joins me to discuss. By the way, GREAT Twitter follow to stay on this: Atlanta Press Collective & MIcah, of course. Also joining me today, Jeff Graham, executive director at Georgia Equality. Pride month begins tomorrow, but there's a lot of wound-locking going on in the LGBTQIA+ rights movement so he and I will take stock, and discuss their upcoming Evening for Equality gala this weekend, too.

Uncomfortable talks about war. From the producers: “This podcast presents conversations with anarchists from across Europe about the war in Ukraine. We will discuss uncomfortable issues of unreflected coloniality, imperialist sentiments, lack of solidarity in the international anarchist movement, as well as the weakness of anarchist theory and practice in the face of the war.” Telegram: https://t.me/ostanovivagonyy Podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bel-anarchist Announcements South Florida Anti-Repression Committee Launches Solidarity Campaign In an unprecedented use of the FACE Act (a law intended to protect abortion access and abortion clinics), two pro-choice community activists in Florida have been charged under the FACE Act. In addition to the two charged, community members across Florida have been the target of FBI harassment that has included showing up at people's places of employment, approaching family members, and even executing a “No Knock Warrant,” with armed agents raiding the home of a family with children in the home. The FACE Act has been used to prosecute individuals who murdered abortion providers, physically threatened or attacked those seeking reproductive healthcare, barricaded abortion clinic entrances, and other anti-choice actions that have served to limit lawful access to abortion and other reproductive health care. Prosecuting two community activists for alleged graffiti is a shameful and disgusting use of the law. In response, community members have formed the South Florida Anti-Repression Committee (SFLARC) and are launching a solidarity campaign and defense fundraiser. The funds raised will go to support those facing state repression, both those charged and those who experience harassment by law enforcement.

This week, I speak with Kamau Franklin about the insane charges for Stop Cop City protestors, including possible RICO indictments in the coming days. We discuss Sunday's massive police raid which resulted in 35 arrests and 23 domestic terrorism charges, bringing the total number of domestic terrorism charges for #StopCopCity activists to 44. While RICO charges have not been issued, community organizations in Atlanta including Community Movement Builders and the Atlanta Solidarity Fund have announced that they expect these indictments in the coming weeks. The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act was created in the 70's to go after the mafia. It targets organized criminal enterprises, enabling extended penalties including sentences of 5 to 20 years and the seizure of financial assets from individuals and organizationsKAMAU FRANKLIN is a community organizer, writer, lawyer, and cofounder of Community Movement Builders, a national Black collective that works to build sustainable, self-determining communities through cooperative economics and community organizing. A fundamental component of this work is building resistance to police brutality and overpolicing. I recently spoke with Kamau and 2 other activists from the movement to Stop Cop City and defend the Atlanta forest, and I highly recommend that folks go back and listen to this important discussion.HOW TO HELP:Show up to Weelaunee Park!Donate to the Atlanta Solidarity Fund!Sign this and this petitionSend automated emails to #StopCopCity funders, contractors, and city officialsGET PLUGGED INTO THE MOVEMENT:Communitymovementbuilders.orgDefendtheatlantaforest.orgFollow and share! @defendATLforest on Twitter and @stopcopcity on InstagramTHE STOP COP CITY COCKTAIL(SIMPLIFIED VERSION)30 ml blueberry shrub40 ml vodka or whiskeySoda water or waterIceBlueberry Shrubb350g Blueberries350ml Granulated Sugar225ml Vinegar (wine, apple cider, or unseasoned rice)Mash berries, add sugar, & stir to combine.

Sam speaks with Matthew Johnson, interim director of Beloved Community Ministries, to discuss the demonstrations surrounding Atlanta's "Cop City." Then, Sam and Emma break down the biggest headlines of the day. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the backlash to the officers responsible for the killing of Tyre Nichols, the lies involved in the initial police report, cooling inflation numbers, George Santos taking a step back from his committees, and the US' response to political upheaval in Peru, before diving into coverage of Atlanta's “Stop Cop City” protests which, while driven by peace, has inspired Governor Brian Kemp to call in the National Guard. Matthew Johnson then joins as he dives right into the legislation and development of the Atlanta Police Department's “Cop City” training center, approved by Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms without knowledge of the City Council in 2021, and aimed at replacing the biggest urban forest in the US with the biggest militarized police training facility in the US. Contextualizing this decision, Johnson then walks through Atlanta's role as the most surveilled city in the US, the city with the worst racial income disparity, while featuring continuing gentrification and severe environmental racism, with a particular emphasis on the city's water supply, all of which are factors that would be seriously enflamed by the construction of Cop City over the Atlanta forest. Next, Matthew Johnson and Sam explore the movement defending the forest as a vast coalition that Kemp and the Atlanta PD are attempting to pass off as organized domestic terrorism, slapping serious charges on protesters alongside the typical abuses of police brutality, which culminated with the murder of community member Torta. They wrap up by discussing the importance of supporting places like Defend the Atlanta Forest and the Atlanta Solidarity Fund, and the future of this fight. And in the Fun Half: Tim Pool blames Defund the Police for fueling police brutality, Hochul continues to try to force herself into Cuomo's mold of Progressive-hating Democrat, and Dave Rubin dives into his experiences in the hall of the ever-kind and gracious Elon Musk. They also discuss the persistence of anti-vaxxer rhetoric despite the clear signs that the vaccine mitigated COVID-induced myocarditis, and CNBC rails against the Marxism in Joe Biden's FTC. Will from Nebraska discusses the impacts of the Right's transphobic fear-mongering, and Sam and Emma cover updates on Paul Pelosi's attacker and his conspiracy blogging roots, plus, your calls and IMs!

In this episode, I speak with 3 activists working to STOP COP CITY – a highly militarized police training facility that would pave over one of the largest remaining forests in Atlanta. These 3 are part of a broad coalition of activists without centralized leadership who have come together to resist this development and defend the Atlanta Forest. Days after we recorded this episode, fellow activist and forest defender Tortuguita was shot and killed by the police during a massive raid. Calls for an independent investigation into this killing have been growing, as the version of events publicized by the police seems highly questionable. 7 more activists were arrested and charged with domestic terrorism.Cop City would be located right next to black and brown working class neighborhoods in Atlanta. These communities would be subjected to increased police harassment as well as the environmental consequences of destroying the forest: poorer air quality, hotter summers, and less protection from flooding. This $90 million military-grade urban warfare training center would be the largest facility of its kind in America. It would have a testing area for explosives, 12 firing ranges, a helicopter landing pad, and a center for practicing crowd control. In addition to boosting police morale and recruitment in the wake of the 2020 uprising, Cop City would serve a much more sinister function: to expand the police state and crush movement building in America and around the globe.In addition to exposing the fundamental connection between capitalism and policing, this episode examines the legacy of racial oppression that Cop City would inherit. We discuss the theft of this land from the Muscogee people as well as its use as a slave plantation and prison farm. We also address the important role that Indigenous and Queer activists have played within this movement.CALLS TO ACTION:*DONATE to the Atlanta Solidarity Fund to support legal costs *Call Atlanta Police Foundation investors, ask them to divest from Cop City (stopreevesyoung.com) *Form an action committee in your city!*GO TO THE PARK IN SOLIDARITY!

MAD KILLERS! ANXIOUS WOMEN! TWISTED CRIMINAL PLOTS! CHIC INTERIOR DECORATING! PSYCHEDELIC FLASHBACKS! NEEDLESSLY LONG TITLES!! Giallo – plural gialli – so-named for the cover color of pulp crime novels in Italy is a stylish world of psychosis and murder that has existed in some capacity since the early 1960s, but it wasn't until Dario Argento's 1970 classic, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage, became a worldwide hit that the giallo fad really took the country by storm. The following year, 1971, was arguably the biggest in the genre's history, with a total of more than 40 films, several of which would become classics. Join super-fan Gabe and relatively apathetic returning guest Patrick Ripoll of Tracks of the Damned and Uptown Song Club as they explore a total of 12 titles in a two-part series. Part one includes Sergio Martino's The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh (Italian: Lo strano vizio della Signora Wardh), Dario Argento's Cat O' Nine Tails (Italian: Il gatto a nove code), Lucio Fulci's Lizard in a Woman's Skin (Italian: Una lucertola con la pelle di donna), Enzo G. Castellari's Cold Eyes of Fear (Italian: Gli occhi freddi della paura), and José María Forqué's Eye of the Hurricane (Spanish: El ojo del huracán).

Cop City would be the largest police complex in American history and is set to be built on Native-American land inside a forest. Kim Brown talks with an activist about what they have been doing to protest and stop this from happening, and what can be done to make sure this is not built. Also, Kim will cover Trump's taxes, why people are talking about the Supreme Court and Kavanaugh releasing their tax returns. Guest Marlon Kautz: Organizer w/ Atlanta Solidarity Fund.

In this episode we interview multiple people who've been involved in the struggle to Stop Cop City and Defend the Forest in Atlanta. What started as a political struggle against an extremely unpopular massive new police training facility has morphed and evolved in many different directions. We welcome Kamau Franklin from Community Movement Builders back to the platform for the third time for this conversation. He brings with him several folks with knowledge of the movement to stop cop city and what has become known as the Defend the Atlanta Forest movement. This is a conversation that touches on modes of liberal city governance and counterinsurgency against radical social movements like the uprisings that took place across the country in the summer of 2020 in response to many instances of police violence including the police lynching of George Floyd and in Atlanta specifically the police execution of Rayshard Brooks as well. Kamau along with Sara, Paul and River discuss some of the current political economy of the greater Atlanta metropolitan area and discuss different phases of the struggle to prevent the political approval and physical construction of the massive police training facility. Along the way we also get into conversations about some of the dynamics coalition which is diverse both in terms of political tendencies and traditions, but also in terms of its racial composition. We talk about of some of the tensions and issues that can arise from these circumstances. And there is some discussion of tactics and strategy as well that is specific to this struggle, which warrant broader consideration contingent of course on the conditions of other struggles. You can learn more and support at https://defendtheatlantaforest.org You can also contribute to the Atlanta Solidarity Fund as Sara recommends in the show: https://atlsolidarity.org to support folks who are facing repression and legal cases. And you can learn more and support Community Movement Builders at https://communitymovementbuilders.org. Also in Kamau's other role, he is a co-host of the Remix Morning Show on Black Power Media, make sure you check them out and support their work as well, this conversation would not have been what it was without Kamau's support and facilitation. Apologies that due to the number of guests and internet connections some of the audio cuts out at a couple points in the conversation. In all cases it resolves and hopefully minimal meaning and information is lost. But we encourage folks to stick with it even if the audio is a little frustrating in parts because the conversation offers so many important insights. And last but not least, if you like the work that we do here at Millennials Are Killing Capitalism. If you want to hear more conversations about dynamic social movements, revolutionary history, political theory, and tactical and strategic discussion, then join up with the awesome folks who support our show currently by becoming a patron of the show. This October marks the 5th anniversary of doing the show. We've hosted over 165 conversations in that period. And for those 5 years we're looking to add 50 patrons this month to help us sustain this work. 50 is a lot, but you can be one of those folks helping to support by just kicking in a dollar a month or by making a small annual contribution at patreon.com/millennialsarekillingcapitalism.
June 11th is the international day of solidarity with Marius Mason and all long-term anarchist prisoners. This year we want to explore the connections between long-term prisoner support and anti-repression efforts around recent uprisings, a sharp reminder to us that the difference between a status of imprisoned or not is often tenuous and temporary. With thousands of arrests for protesting, rioting, and property destruction from last summer's George Floyd uprising, we must be preparing for the possibility that more of our friends and other rebels may end up in prison. We're also seeking to find ways to facilitate interactions between our long-term prisoners and uprisings in the streets. We were happy to share the production of this episode with the lovely folks at June11.Org. To this end, we speak with: Cameron and Veera, who are part of a group that have been supporting prisoners from the Ferguson uprising for the last 7 years; Earthworm from Atlanta Solidarity Fund and ATL jail support ; Jeremy Hammond, formerly incarcerated anarchist and hacktivist, and his twin brother, Jason Hammond, who works with the Chicago Community Bond Fund. They produce the podcast, TwinTrouble They share with us their experiences with state repression, what motivates them, and some thoughts on what we can be doing to make us, our communities, and our liberatory movements more resilient. The speakers responded to questions in the same order throughout the conversation but didn't identify themselves much, so remember that the order and the projects they're involved in can be found in our show notes. You can learn more about Marius Mason and how to support him at SupportMariusMason.org. You can see past podcasts by June 11th, prisoner statements, artwork, info about the prisoners supported by the effort, a mix-tape they curated last year and events listed for various cities you can join at June11.org. We're releasing this audio before June 11th to entice folks to consider a potluck, an action, a letter writing event, a banner drop, a postering rampage or something to share the day with folks behind walls. Hear our past June 11 episodes here. You can also hear the June 11th statement for this year alongside other info on prisoner support from comrades at A-Radio Vienna in the May 2021 BadNews podcast!

Fundraising for Sean Swain Parole Sean Swain is fighting to be paroled after 30 years in prison and 316 podcast segments. You can find more about how to support his efforts here: https://www.anarchistfederation.net/sean-swain-is-up-for-parole/ David Easley needs help Comrade David Easley, A306400 at the Toledo Correctional Institution, who has in previous months been viciously assaulted by prison staff at the direction of the ToCI Warden Harold May, as well as number of other inmates also who have been isolated for torture and other oppressive, covert, and overt retaliatory actions at that facility, denied adequate medical care for speaking out against the cruel, inhumane treatment at that Ohio facility. More and more comrades are reporting occurring throughout the ODRC, and across this country for any who dare stand up and speak up for themselves, and the voiceless within the steel and concrete walls. This is a CALL TO ACTION to zap the phone at the U.S. District Court in Toledo, Ohio and demand that Comrade David Easley be granted a phone conference with Judge James R. Knepp II, and the Attorney General because Comrade Easley's lawyer of record has decided to go rogue by not filing a Memorandum Contra Motion as his client requested and now the State has presented a Motion to Dismiss his case to that court. Plaintiff: David Easley, A306400 Case No: 3:18-CV-02050 Presiding Judge: James R. Knepp II Courtroom Clerk: Jennifer Smith Phone No: (419) 213-5571 Also, reach out to Comrade Easley using the contact info he like many of our would appreciate the concerns, and love from us on the outside to stay the course, and not get discouraged in his Daily Struggle. David Easley #A306400 Toledo CI PO Box 80033 Toledo, OH 43608 Fundraiser for David Anarchist Bank Robber and Prisoner, Giannis Dimitrakis Healing from Attack the following was received from comrades at 1431 AM in Thessaloniki, Greece, a fellow member of the A-Radio Network. We had hoped to feature an interview they would facilitate with Giannis Dimitrakis for June 11th, however you'll see why this hasn't been possible. We hope he heals up quickly and would love to air that interview for the Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners in August: On 24/5, our comrade, a political prisoner, the anarchist Giannis Dimitrakis was transported to the hospital of Lamia, seriously injured after the murderous attack he suffered in Domokou prison. G. Dimitrakis barely survived the the attack, and the blows he received caused multiple hematomas in the head, affecting basic functions of his brain. A necessary condition for the full recovery of the partner is the complete and continuous monitoring of him in a specialized rehabilitation center by specialist doctors and therapists. In this crucial condition, the murderous bastards of the New Democracy government, M. Chrysochoidis, Sofia Nikolaou and their subordinates decide on Thursday June 3rd to transfer Giannis back to Domokos prison and even to a solitary confinement cell, supposedly for his health. Transferring our comrade there, with his brain functions in immediate danger, is for us a second attempt to kill him. Domokos prison does not meet in the slightest the conditions for the treatment and recovery of a prisoner in such a serious condition. Αs a solidarity movement in general, we are again determined not to leave our comrade's armor in their blood-stained hands. Nothing should be left unanswered, none of the people in charge of the ever-intensifying death policy that they unleash should be left out of our sights. Immediate transfer of our partner to a specialized rehabilitation center Hands down from political prisoners Solidarity and strength to the anarchist fighter G. Dimitrakis This is an invitation to engage June 11 in solidarity with Giannis Dimitrakis. On June 9th there will be a solidarity demo in Exarchia, Athens at 7pm! . ... . ..

Resisting State Repression Panel The following is a conversation between folks involved in anti-repression work in 5 parts of the so-called US. The goal was to present a zoomed out vision of scope and patterns of repression since the Floyd Uprising of this summer, particularly as the US sits in a period of heightened tensions around the elections and continued killings by police. Please consider sharing this chat around. We need to be ready to push back against repression and support the mostly BIPOC folks facing heavy charges for hitting the streets against white supremacy. You'll hear from: Earthworm with the Atlanta Solidarity Fund and the Jail Support Team; Susan Samples from Grand Rapids with the Michigan Anti-Repression Committee (which works with the Michigan Bail Fund); Liam aka "Lil Guillotine" of the Free The 350, Madison General Defense Committee in Wisconsin; Mala from the Salt Lake General Defense Committee (works with the Salt Lake Community Bail Fund) in Utah; and Charlie from Puget Sound Prisoner Support (and works with the Northwest Community Bail Fund ) in Seattle. Stolen Lives In the conversation, we hear about a few cases of folks attacked and/or killed by police in the communities our guests come from and whose memories contributed to the Uprising where they were. These include: Rodney J. Freeman (killed by Dane County Police in Wisconsin); Elliot T. Johnson (killed by Monona Police in Wisconsin); Jacob Blake (brazenly injured by Kenosha Police); John T Williams (killed by Seattle Police); Charleena Lyles (killed by Seattle Police); Kevin Peterson, Jr. (killed by Clark County Sheriff deputies in Washington State); Bernardo Palacios-Carbajal (killed by Salt Lake City Police); Atlanta: Rayshard Brooks (killed by Atlanta Police);

To the black community: I am so so sorry that this country continues to wrong you and shame you. I stand by you, I will continue to use my voice, and I love you. To my non-black community/people of color: The black community has always had our backs, we've rubbed elbow to elbow, drank from the same wine, we know the injustice. So, we NEED to hold one another up and speak up until justice is seen. To the white community: If you want to wear the hoop earrings, speak up and fight back. If you want to cornrow your hair, speak up and fight back. If you want to rap alongside Kanye, Lil Wayne, Meek Mill, Lil Uzi, etc, speak up and fight back. If you want to pick and choose when to be down with the culture, you are a bystander. You are saying that black lives, in fact, don't matter.
