Just thinking about the time I went to a rally in support of Palestine and witnessed somebody get told to take their sign down. There were no counter protestors or anything like that. The sign-holder and the sign-take-down-sayer were both there in support of Palestine.

The sign said, "Fuck Israel then, fuck Israel now, fuck Israel forever".

Against Community Building, Towards Friendship by ziq

"The idea of community is held in such high regard by anarchists that it's eerily reminiscent of USA liberals paying fealty to the "sacred ground" of their nation's capitol. Community is something consecrated and unassailable to anarchists. It's the bond that binds us to our fellow true believers. It gives us belonging, direction, purpose, safety, all those good things.

But does it really?

The more time I spend amongst anarchists, the more I find the "anarchist community" ideal to be inherently unattainable and isolating. It seems every attempt at building an organized egalitarian community ends up enabling gross misconduct by certain members and the end result is always demoralizing burn-out for everyone involved.

The attempt to group disparate strangers who barely get along, based on an imagined affinity (typically ideology, but painted in such broad strokes so as to be rendered inconsequential) inevitably manages to crash and burn every time..."

Phoenix asks DOJ to let city reform police without any federal oversight...

"Phoenix officials are asking the U.S. Department of Justice to sign an agreement that commits the city to reforming its Police Department without federal oversight from a judge or independent monitor.

The Justice Department launched an investigation into the Phoenix Police Department in August 2021, promising to look into claims of excessive use of force by Phoenix officers, retaliation against protesters, discriminatory policing practices and the department's response to people with disabilities or who were experiencing homelessness.

The letter from the city comes weeks after a majority of City Council signaled their resistance to any possible consent decree and represents an escalation in the increasingly tense relationship between Phoenix and the Justice Department."

The notion that the Amerikkkan empire is in collapse is just as exciting as it is terrifying.

It's exciting because we are witnessing a colonial power structure crumble under its own weight.

It's terrifying because that colonial power structure wants to stay in power, and will do anything to maintain itself.

No hope for an anarchist revolution. Large movements will always be infiltrated and co-opted. Stay small, stay invisible
