"w/ out imagination there is no memory
w/ out imagination there is no sensation
w/ out imagination there is no will, desire
...
the war that matters is the war against the imagination
all other wars are subsumed in it."
—Diane Di Prima, Rant (1985)
"One cannot expect a rebellion, any rebellion, against any authority, to come without hardship relative to one's own already desperate condition. Many have died and sacrificed fro the struggles for liberation we hold in our hearts, and those who bear witness also bear scars. It is equally our duty to care as it is to fight; one cannot exist without the other, often, they are intimately intertwined. for us, we who live lives of antagonism against authority, it is expected that we will find ourselves tied up in the consequences of violence inflicted on us by colonizers and fascists, routinely, preemptively and in retaliation for our actions toward a world in which all is done and shared in common. For us, the brutality of those consequences is very visible in short bursts, around which we most often strategize, but is more insidiously inflicted over the long haul on our collective emotional wellbeing. This particular arena is very familiar to us: it takes the shape of disenchantment, hopelessness, burnout, isolation. This is the particular arena in which strategies are parse and the work of care is inequitably distributed. The purpose of this text is to act as a resource for those who see the value in engaging in the work of collective care, for those who want to expand their knowledge and practices of responding collectively to trauma. This text has its limits; the best resource we will ever have is each other and our reciprocity."

Tonight, after many months of protest, the president of #Tunisia suspended the parliament—widely regarded as a hotbed of corruption—and dismissed the prime minister.
For background, we recommend this analysis by Tunisian anarchists, from last February:

These events indicate the strength of the popular movement against the old political class in Tunisia.
But looking on from afar, it's impossible not to recall how the military helped topple Morsi in Egypt—and then retained power.
The important thing is to build grassroots strength, not to seek—or accept—solutions from above.

The federal eviction moratorium expires today. The fact that it was in place for over a year shows how senseless evictions are in the first place. Aren't wealth disparities in the US bad enough already?
Here's a poster promoting eviction defense to use in your community:

Let's fight back and defend each other.
