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!

Big Brother: "Read 1984."

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."

Two years after Donald Trump's ignominious failure of a coup attempt, we recommend this text about why it was a godsend to the state as a way to change the subject from popular revolt to the preservation of normalcy.

"Counting on the state to hold the threat of fascism at bay leaves us in an extremely vulnerable position. It’s not unthinkable that at some point, a far-right coup will succeed, at least in some parts of the country, and we—not just anti-fascists, but all people of good conscience—will find that our concerted action is the only thing that stands between us and the establishment of an even more authoritarian society. That is precisely what happened in Spain in 1936."

Today, in grotesque mimicry of Trump's failed coup on January 6, 2021, far-right supporters of previous Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro invaded the National Congress in Brasilia.

Across the world, the far right and fascists are attempting to build the capacity to seize power by force.

Background on the situation in Brazil:

Relying on the state to prevent the far right from coming to power will only strengthen the institutions that they hope to wield against us:

Billionaires and their far-right supporters are attempting to gentrify the concept of revolt itself. We must not let them appropriate or discredit the idea of rebellion:
