Due to a misinformation campaign (ran mostly by the police) coming out of #CHAZ, I will be creating a collection of twitter accounts of people who are actually on the ground and their reporting is known to be valid. If you have any suggestions of other accounts to add to this list, please contact @BLMProtestsBot

The energy in the streets remains high in many places! But looking ahead to future iterations of these struggles, this is a lovely and inspiring thread:

"Steal This Book" is an instruction manual by Abbie Hoffman on, among other things, shoplifting, fare evasion, and protesting. 30 publishers refused to print it, and many bookstores refused to sell it because people were shoplifting the book, as the title suggested.

Let's take a moment to talk about the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone. Not about their strategy, or the people involved, or whatever, but about its very existence.

In recent days, I've seen a lot of flak being directed towards the CHAZ. Of course, it's usually by toxic "leftists" trying to start drama for fun, but that is beyond the scope of what I'm talking about here. You need to understand that phenomena like this is not at all common in the USA. Other parts of the world— France, Spain, even Brazil, and so forth— have had a great many more autonomous zones and similar things than the USA has ever had. Unlike those places, resistance is not as deeply set in the roots of our culture.

Maybe the CHAZ will fail. But does that matter? Its very existence is monumental. When we say that "America has joined the game", it's not a simple meme. These things are new to the USA. The chance of failure for the CHAZ is high. What the hell do you expect? They're not in it because they think it will be easy, or that they will always win for sure. They're in it because it is the right thing to do. Yes, they might be low on food and dependent on charity, but what do you expect from a spontaneous movement that started literally less than a week ago? They need to focus on one problem at a time, they have only recently pushed out the cops.

So when you talk about, or criticize, the CHAZ, just take a moment to remember and understand that this is not a singular event, but a process, and it is a very young process in the USA. Greater North America is lagging behind when compared to the rest of the world. But for fuck's sake, we are fucking trying! The very fact that anything like the CHAZ happened at all is a milestone. If you think things can be done better, you are encouraged by everyone to do it. They did it in the CHAZ, surely you can too? Just because the CHAZ is not officially X political ideology does not mean it is a fruitless effort. It is an effort, it is action. Real action in the real world. This is what we need, not endless debate and drama.
