Yesterday, during a protest against Argentina's new "anarcho"-capitalist president in front of the congress building in Buenos Aires, we saw one police officer wearing a "don't tread on me" insignia in imitation of fascists in the United States.

There's no such thing as "anarcho-capitalism." Anarchists are opposed to the state; "anarcho"-capitalists are just capitalists who oppose state regulation of the economy when it is inconvenient for them, but support and depend on the violence of the state.

Solidarity with those in Argentina fighting against capitalism, fascism, police, the state, and so-called "anarcho"-capitalists.

Listen to Lidy Nacpil’s explanation of what is “Climate debt”

_________________
1. Thé concept of climate debt is grounded in the fact that not everyone has contributed equally to the climate crisis.
2. It also acknowledges that everyone has an equal right to Mother Earth and the space it provides for everyone to thrive

So that if there are people who have exceeded their fair share in terms of the contributions they have made to greenhouse gas emissions then this people are in debt: Climate debt because they have occupied far more than they have a right to.

hack everything 😤

Hey, y'all. To start this off, no, I am not hacked. People always think I start off posts like this because I'm hacked, and you'll definitely see why they might think this is the case (spoiler alert: it's because I need money), but no. It's genuine.

I just got fired from one of the jobs that I work at, and my other job has cut me down to just 5 hours per week. As such, I will need some financial support until things improve for me.

If you have any money to spare, send it to my venmo at https://venmo.com/u/Myony. If not, well, I understand completely.

TL;DR: I'd appreciate some factors of evolution sent my way, if you know what I mean

as further evidence that this is legit it's so fucking annoying that the Venmo app doesn't include a fucking "copy your URL" at the page said URL is on. instead you have to dig through your settings for some unholy reason

🇵🇸 #Palestine - 🇮🇱 #Israel: Hind Rajab, a six year-old child from Gaza, has been found dead 12 days after her and her entire family was killed in their car by the IDF. Hind had pleaded with the Red Crescent over the phone to save her, surrounded by her dead family members as she was left trapped in the car.

An ambulance was dispatched to the area after gaining permission from Israeli authorities, but it came under heavy fire from the IDF upon reaching the area.

Contact between Hind Rajab and the Red Crescent was eventually lost, with the car discovered in Tel al-Hawa yesterday after the IDF left the area.

RIP 🌹

Thanks for the financial support, y'all

Hopefully I can get some more hours soon because this shit with only 5 hours of work a week sucks ass

I'm being genuine here btw, those of you who donated were a huge help :3

The Maidan Diary of Dmitry Petrov

An Eyewitness Account of the Ukrainian Revolution of 2014

https://crimethinc.com/PetrovUkraine

Dmitry Petrov cut his teeth in various anti-fascist, anti-authoritarian, and ecological struggles. He traveled to Kyiv to support Ukrainians as they resisted a government that was aligned with the same autocracy that anarchists were fighting in Russia.

What Dmitry saw in Kyiv was by turns exhilarating and disheartening. In his reports, he documents how militarism, nationalism, and hierarchical organization channeled the movement away from the kinds of profound social change that he sought. At the same time, even in the face of fascist threats, he did his best to make a space for anarchist proposals in the Maidan protests.

We have translated Dmitry’s reports from February 2014 because they offer insight into historic events, but also because the questions that Dmitry faced there continue to confront us today.

Today marks two years since Russia initiated the full-scale military invasion of Ukraine.

https://crimethinc.com/AntiwarRussia2022

The invasion would never have been possible if Putin’s regime had not spent the past decade crushing every social movement in Russia—using torture to extract false confessions from arrestees and imprisoning or assassinating countless people. But this is not limited to Russia alone.

Everywhere on earth, governments are relying on more and more repressive and invasive policing to control restless populations. The war in Ukraine is part of a story that is familiar in Syria, Yemen, Ethiopia, Myanmar, Sudan, Palestine, and elsewhere. It represents the same strategy that governments around the world are employing within their territories, expanded to the scale of geopolitics: the recourse to brute force to suppress resistance and extend control.

Wherever we fight against state repression, we are fighting against a future of war.

In this picture, anarchists march today in Vilnius.

Good idea: Outlaw security negligence, not security testing

https://saveflipper.ca/

Canadian authorities consider a ban on the infamous "flipper zero" and similar devices to prevent vehicles from being stolen. It is a research tool that can among other things imitate a multitude of different radio signals. It is used to understand interactions of different systems.
Outlawing the flipper tool does not solve the underlying issue that vehicles are insecure enough and can be hacked with very basic measures.

This also raises another issue: people who break some laws tend to break other laws. A ban just takes these tools out of the hands of security researchers as well as the curious minds with no ill intent.

'Do not let a settler state weaponize and warp what it means to be Indigenous. Being Indigenous is not simply tracing a small portion of your DNA to a region you have had no connection to for thousands and thousands of years.

Humans are not all "indigenous" to Africa simply because we can trace ancient ancestry thereists Native peoples must boldly reject Western settlers' theft of our struggle and identity in order to further violently colonize. Step up, educate yourself and your community.'

Human Rights Discourse Has Failed to Stop the Genocide in Gaza

https://crimethinc.com/GazaGenocide

Four months into the assault on Gaza, the Israeli military has forced over a million refugees to the edge of the Egyptian border and is now bombing them while threatening to mount a ground assault against them.

In the following text, Jonathan Pollak, a longtime participant in Anarchists Against the Wall and other anti-colonial solidarity efforts, explains why we should not look to international institutions or protest movements within Israeli society to put a stop to the genocide in Gaza and calls on ordinary people to take action.
