To conclude the past month of drama about Twitter, here's a list of suggestions about what we can do to connect with each other besides posting on social media sites.

Over the next two weeks, CrimethInc. is participating in three events in the UK.

The first two presentations are at the English and Scottish release events for Smash the System: Punk Anarchism as a Culture of Resistance, to which we contributed the foreword:

Freedom Bookshop, London, E1 7QX
Wednesday, December 21, 7 pm

Lighthouse Bookshop, West Nicolson Street, Edinburgh EH8 9DB
Thursday, December 29, 6 pm

The third event is a presentation revisiting the analysis in the CrimethInc. book, Work, about the ways that capitalism has changed over the past century and how those might inform resistance.

Star & Shadow Cinema Co-op, Warwick St, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE2 1BB
Tuesday, January 3, 7 pm

All of these are free.

Dom skiter i dig

För varje miljardär går miljoner hungriga. Det är detta som skapar miljardärer: koncentrationen av rikedomar i händerna på några få. När du hör talas om en miljardär som ställer upp i val eller köper upp Twitter samtidigt som du passerar hemlösa på vägen till jobbet, låt dig då inte luras — allt hänger samman.

De säger vad som helst för att få dig att tro att dina problem är ditt eget fel, för att få dig att vända dig mot dina medmänniskor, för att få dig att ta extra jobbpass så att du kan tjäna mer pengar åt dem. Men hur hårt du än jobbar tar de alltid hem en större del av kakan. Sådan är kapitalismen.

Today is the birthday of Kuwasi Balagoon—Black Panther, Black Liberation Army fighter, and anarchist.

It's a good day to read some of the writing he left us. You could start with this collection:

Or this biography:

We endorse the call for noise demonstrations outside jails, juvenile halls, detention centers, and prisons on New Year’s Eve to express solidarity with prisoners and call for a world without the prison-industrial complex.

At the conclusion of 2022, we honor all those who have risked their lives and freedom to strive for a world without war, oppression, or exploitation—in Iran and Sri Lanka, in Russia and Ukraine, in Sudan and everywhere else around the planet.

Our hearts go out to the imprisoned, to those enduring grueling impoverishment while billionaires accumulate fortunes at others' expense, to everyone who has lost a loved one to state violence, racist or anti-Semitic attacks, environmental disasters intensified by climate change, or the pandemic.

In 2023, we will continue to do our best to contribute to movements for the liberation of all humanity and the dignity of all living things.

All the best in your adventures. May they intersect with ours.

For a free world—for anarchy.

We're starting 2023 by including a new sticker in the packages we send out.

We have more designs on the way as we double down on offline outreach. They can't stop us!

In response to the destructive December 13 police raid on the Weelaunee Forest in Atlanta and the trumped up charges against six young forest defenders, friends of the forest are calling for a National Weekend of Solidarity, January 13-15:

"Host an info night, a protest, a party, a movie screening, or anything else that moves you in your local context."
