"A Russian journalist who faced up to 10 years in prison for criticising the army has escaped house arrest and is now wanted by police…
Ekaterina Barabash "had been an outspoken critic of Moscow's military offensive on Ukraine…
Rights groups said authorities are using the law to wage an unprecedented crackdown on dissent reminiscent of the Soviet era.
Fleeing house arrest is risky in Russia, but not unheard of. Former Russian state TV journalist Marina Ovsyannikova, who protested against the Ukraine conflict during a live broadcast, escaped Russia in 2022 after fleeing house arrest.”

boostedMay Day is the quintessential anarchist holiday, with a history that combines environmentalism, militant labor struggle, immigrant rights, internationalism, and police abolition! This year we'll be taking a day off from bookslinging to celebrate and connect with community.
Around the world, and right here in WNC, labor organizes are bringing people together for a day of resistance, with rallies planned in Asheville and Hendersonville.

“Hitler [like Trump] had what one might call a diffident, occasionally felonious disregard for financial matters. He owed 400,000 reichsmarks in back taxes. His understanding of economics was primitive…insisting that the tariffs were necessary and that he needed time to fix the ruined country his predecessors had left him.”

“it is difficult to eradicate neo-fascism if these roots are not attacked; either it is cut at the roots, or it will inevitably resurface episodically. But to cut it at the roots poses the colossal, the difficult, the uncertain task, of exiting capitalism, without, for the time being, anyone knowing very well how to do this at the global level.”
“caught in the dilemma between voting or abstaining, it cannot be argued that abstention should be privileged in all circumstances, because from the anarchist point of view, at least as I understand it, there are no absolute principles that would forever override the diversity of situations and the concrete terrain of struggles.

boostednot to be that guy but ffs we can do this, and by we i mean you, me, our friends -- we can do this beyond the state. without politicians. bc we must!!
personal story: we lost our housing & most of our work this year AND yet we're still engaging in mutual aid/organizing w our people & beyond! things are hard but we are safe and have dignity...
AND the reason we're OK is bcz we've always done things beyond the state, cultivating viable autonomy in our communities... but also if you haven't cultivated it yet you probably have in small ways. just do it with more intention with one other person..
PLUS, we are all out here! come say hey! when you drop into your communities, and really show up -- we all take care of each other, as we always do.

boostedEncouraging Destructiveness
boostedSo, here's a helpful guideline for the media covering the Trump regime:
Whenever any of these guys say "viewpoint diversity" just substitute in your head "hiring nazis."
"How do you ensure viewpoint diversity?" = "When will you hire nazis?"
"We want to protect viewpoint diversity at Columbia/Harvard" = "We want them to hire nazis."
"Under Biden the State Department didn't have viewpoint diversity." = "We're big mad, Biden didn't hire enough nazis."
And so forth.
Write accordingly.
