Until recently, I did not want to comment on the threat of an attack by Putin's regime on Ukraine. Because this threat has come up several times in recent years and looks very much like trickery and blackmail. However, tensions and brouhaha have reached a climax and it would be strange to avoid the topic any further.

Let's be brief:

📌 What Putin is doing is pure aggressive imperialism, which aims to spread and strengthen the extremely authoritarian and reactionary influence of the current Russian authorities in space and time.

📌 To be a political actor, the anarchist movement must actively respond and determine its line in a possible conflict. The ostrich position under the mask of refusing to "take sides" will make anyone who takes it an outsider.

📌 The sphere of action for the Russian comrades is obvious: it is to rock the anti-war movement to the maximum, to fight aggression from the rear. Much more complex and ambiguous is the challenge for Ukraine's anarchists. Taking part in the resistance against the occupation is a good and useful thing. It is another moment of truth for anarchists to prove that they are a valid force for an actual social struggle.

While choosing forms of resistance, it is extremely important not to lose our independence and autonomy as an ethical group. It is not necessary to assimilate to the state discourse in Ukraine, neither ideologically nor structurally (obviously this state, with its cops, oligarchs, and corrupt politicians, is also an enemy for its own population).

The dilapidated nature of the Ukrainian state apparatus leaves a great deal of room for autonomous activities that are outside of the government's control.

"A pastor is leading the charge of reclaiming an abandoned school and creating a community-and-trades center on the east side of Indianapolis."

"With 40,000 square feet of space and dozens of rooms in the building, The Evolve Education Center is slated to be a technologically advanced facility with office space, conference rooms, a beauty and barbershop, a podcast room, music production space, a youth center, a senior space, HVAC and trades room, and a day care room. The center is also intending to offer trainings, resources, and more. Eighty five percent of the planned rooms came directly from community input."

on this day in 1917 working class mexicans rioted against being subjected to gasoline baths when entering the u.s.

this gas bath eventually evolved into the use of zyklon-b which would then inspire the nazis to use such practices

tho many historians say this practice ended in the u.s. in the ‘50s, it continues today via the use of extremely toxic levels of quaternary ammonium compounds etc in disinfectants sprayed on detained migrant held at the camps at the southern u.s. border and elsewhere.

regarding both the inspiring and abhorrent lineages, nothing is over.
