the common reaction to nigel farage getting milkshaked again shows how thoroughly bootlicky and unmoored from an analysis of violence based in reality the broader anglosphere remains.
yes, nigel farage was assaulted
yes, this was illegal
yes, this is a good thing and i hope he gets it again and again and worst, as should his counterparts everywhere around the globe

SAMPLE SCRIPT:
“Hello, I’m calling to demand that OSP staff end their persecution of Malik Muhammad #23935744, who is bravely on hunger strike to protest being held in torturous conditions in solitary confinement. OSP staff are violating his human rights and have a legal responsibility to provide him with adequate living conditions. OSP staff must immediately provide him with a bed, a blanket, adequate clothing, reasonable room temperature, and any other medical needs he has due to his health conditions. OSP staff must also immediately return his rightful property to him and restore his communication and visitation rights. End this injustice against Malik now!”
i hate once again seeing the parasitic swarm of photojournalists (and legions of passive passersby filming from phones) tagging along crowds of people pitched in hard fights with cops, anybody who does this should be ashamed of themself and stop right away -- all these "documenters" once again building evidence for police to use against people in criminal cases.
small occupation so far by the psu library, it'll no doubt grow through the night, and perhaps the weekend -- no megaphones as of 7:00pm, i hope they keep it that way!
Q8. I’m considering buying an e-bike (instead of a car, so think one-person Costco hauls) and wonder if anyone has insights/advice/tips on living the e-bike + no elevator top floor apartment dweller life 😅
I can move but I want to stay in the suburbs so an elevator is a tough ask. Should I try to secure a storage/garage? Is regular bike parking secure enough? Do I start powerlifting now so I can take on a 50lb bike?
i tend to be uneasy with a lot of what counts as mainstream urbanism, which unfortunately is run through with managerial policybrain, grand master planning, and engineered solutions to social problems, and really lacks an analysis of the relations and dynamics that give rise to social conflict.
i read "defying displacement" by andrew lee recently, which was a solid (though not so original or groundbreaking) read on gentrification, class war and urban recomposition. i'll check out that delaney text, i like his fiction.
2020 uprising rebel Malik Muhammad was given a 30-day stint in a segregated unit because he refused to break his Ramadan fast by drinking water for a urine analysis.
call Oregon State Penitentiary to demand his immediate return to general population and to respect his constitutionally guaranteed right to free religious practice!

"Hello, I'm calling to demand the immediately release of Malik Muhammad #23935744 from segregation and back to general population, along with restoring his communication and visitation rights. OSP staff have flagrantly violated his 1st amendment right to freely practice his religion by attempting to force him to drink water during his Ramadan fast, which he bravely refused to break. OSP staff unjustly and unconstitutionally placed him in segregation as retaliation. OSP staff must restore him to his unit immediately and not interfere with any prisoner's religious freedom."
So the kids who hold the crosswalk flags at the school get a field trip to bribe them into serving car supremacy. What would cars do without this subsidy?
Hassan Muhammad, a.k.a. Vibez, who is serving time due to actions stemming from the 2020 uprisings, is getting out of prison in May and will need financial support to get back on their feet:
they are set to be back in the Portland area, so if you have other types of support you can offer (or just want to connect or say hi), you can write to them at:

I've been attempting to organise in an anarchist way with my friends and still, I keep discovering new implications (and joyful possibilities) of "free association"
the dissolution of groups does not imply the end of that web of connections -- this is a potent strength of anarchist organizing: open, interlocking, non-exclusive networks with group formations that flexibly and regularly break and recompose as needed.
