Nexus X HumectressBy Lucy Diavolo Teen Vogue A week of rebellion in Minneapolis has followed the death of George Floyd at the hands of police. The uprising there crescendoed to the burning of the police department’s 3rd precinct, on Thursday, and continues to escalate with an expansive rollout of heavily […]
By Troy Southgate Having mentioned in an Anarchist forum that George Floyd was apparently charged with holding a gun to the stomach of a pregnant Black woman, or so various sub-media sources claim, I was criticised on the basis that it does not justify his murder. That’s perfectly […]
The cops tear-gassed a rally a block away from my residence the other night just like they did at the White House In lieu of shields, protestors use umbrellas in testudo formations to block tear gas canisters and other projectiles.
Fragmentation? The CIA and the Pentagon were actually funding opposite sides in the Syrian civil war.
Why not all of the above? Greg Gutfeld is such a smarmy dumbshit. Protestors=Exercising free speech rights to protest state repression Rioters=Engaged in armed struggle against the police state Looters=Implementing a spontaneously organized, direct action-based, grassroots-level stimulus plan
It would be hilarious if “defund the police” became the new “woke” cause like gay marriage was a few years ago. My view of the insurrection is polar opposite of Tucker’s but some of these right-wing guys have some useful insights into how the managerial class/corporate class/left-wing of […]
Wow. Even Rev. Pat Robertson wouldn’t back up Trump on this one. By Matthew Teague The Guardian On Monday when Donald Trump raised overhead a Bible – the Sword of the Spirit, to believers – he unwittingly cleaved his loyal Christian supporters into two camps. His most ardent […]
Way to help your “blue lives matter” cause, dumbasses. Asheville Police surround a medic station created by protesters as they stab water bottles with knives and tip over tables of medical supplies and food June 2, 2020. The medic team, made of EMTs and doctors, said the medical […]
Blame away. “There ain’t no such thing as bad publicity.” By Kim Kelly Washington Post As protests continue to sweep the nation, a narrative has emerged blaming alleged “anarchists” for stirring the pot. They are, the story goes, materializing out of nowhere to sow chaos, put marginalized people […]
By Sam Levin The Guardian Activists say the way to stop police brutality and killings is to cut law enforcement budgets and reinvest in services. Some lawmakers now agree.
It’s the new national anthem. There was a group of protestors walking down the street in front of my residence the other night singing/rapping this. Kyle Eustice Hip Hop Dix N.W.A has been shouting “Fuck Tha Police” for over 30 years. Written by Ice Cube, MC Ren and […]
Whoa! This is good. I think police misconduct is far more pervasive than what Saager seems to acknowledge, and that racial disparities are far more significant than what he claims (see the Radley Balko article I posted earlier today). I also disagree that deploying more police much less […]
So what is the other 1/4 thinking about? Kyle Kulinski is right when he says that right now is the 1918 Spanish flu, 1929 Great Depression, and 1968 insurrection all rolled into one. Krystal and Saagar discuss Monmouth polls that show most Americans believe the country is […]
If Krystal thinks there is anything “different” about Trump, she needs to look deeper into the records of figures like Andrew Jackson, Grover Cleveland, Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, A. Mitchell Palmer, Richard Nixon, Spiro Agnew, Richard Daly, George Wallace, Lester Mattox, Frank Rizzo, Nelson Rockefeller, Ronald Reagan, Daryl […]
This is funny. The upper strata of the new clerisy at the Voice of the Ruling Class threw a hissy fit because MIC/Sunbelt corporatist/Zionist-stooge Tom Cotton wanted to ensure everyone he has a big dick.
By all accounts, these guys are scumbags. But they’re just the attack dogs. Where are the mugshots of the masters who let them off their least? The Minnesota attorney general on Wednesday upgraded charges against the ex-Minneapolis police officer who knelt on George Floyd’s neck and issued arrest […]
Are “lawmakers” getting the message? By Catie Edmundson New York Times WASHINGTON — Republicans and Democrats in Congress have begun a new push to shut down a Pentagon program that transfers military weaponry to local law enforcement departments, as bipartisan urgency builds to address the excessive use of […]
…corporations whose properties have been destroyed will get a nice payout from insurance companies, banks that have experienced losses will get bailed out, corporations will get lucrative government contracts to “rebuild,” large companies will buy up the properties of small businesses that went under due to the quarantine […]
…was what someone told me when Trump was elected. No kidding.
I might be inclined to take this article more seriously if it wasn’t written by George Packer, a “liberal hawk” idiot who supported the Iraq War. The US is a long way from being a “failed state.” The current pandemic is very similar to the Spanish flu of […]
The perfect solution? This is what I have said all along. Let the people who want the monuments have them and let the people who don’t want the monuments do without them. The mayor’s comments about Lenin and Stalin statues are interesting as well. “Under” pan-anarchism, a Confederate-themed […]
The difference is that not only are blacks more likely to have negative experiences with the police relative to population size, but blacks are accustomed to having an “outsider” status. When a cop harms a black person, many other blacks take it personally and see it as an […]
Conservatives/Republicans like Tucker Carlson are often very good at lampooning the silliness and excess that is found among liberal and left opinion, which is easy to do because there is certainly a lot of it. However, having watched and read these kinds of commentators (the Rush Limbaugh types, […]
Thank goodness for honest journalistic sources like The Onion. The Onion LOS ANGELES—In response to concerns that law enforcement officers were escalating violence in the nationwide George Floyd uprisings, Los Angeles Police Department officials announced Tuesday that they didn’t spend millions on an awesome tank just to let […]
By Matt Agorist Libertarian Institute As the nation reels from the horrifying murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, MN, it is important to remember that there were more than 400 others who’ve lost their lives at the hands of America’s police force. Like many of the folks who had […]
By Tucker Higgins CNBC Three former Minneapolis police officers will be criminally charged Wednesday in connection with the death of George Floyd, Sen. Amy Klobuchar wrote in a post on Twitter. In addition, Derek Chauvin, a former officer who had already been charged with third-degree murder in the […]
Bernie is just as weak a leader as Trump. He proved that by allowing the DNC to swindle him out of the nomination not once but twice without raising a peep. Krystal is right when she says there is no “trusted national leader” on the scene. But that’s […]
Zuck is apparently insisting on maintaining his autonomy while claiming a leadership role in the techno-oligarch/new clerisy alliance of which he is a part.
As I have said, the power elite apparently does not yet feel threatened by the insurrection. If there were, Raytheon puppet Esper would most certainly be calling for invoking the Insurrection Act.
The Trump administration is using Antifa as a scapegoat to deflect attention away from the substance of the insurrection. It couldn’t have happened to nicer people. Clearly, the centrist, balanced, nuanced, moderate position on looting is to favor attacking governments, corporations, banks, police stations, courthouses, and the ruling […]
The victories of the gay rights and marijuana legalization movements were not achieved until a slight majority of Americans came to agree with them. I’ve always that pan-anarchism cannot achieve victory until a popular majority at least tacitly agrees with us. It seems like we’re making progress. Although […]
Like I used to say during the Bush years, “We are all Iraqis now.” The race and class disparities among victims of the police state are obvious enough, and should be pointed out, but by no means should it end there. The System is the enemy of all […]
Not bad.
The System is clearly concerned about the possible political fragmentation of the armed forces. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper (a Raytheon puppet) recently urged military personnel to “stay apolitical.” He wouldn’t have said that if he wasn’t worried about it. During the Vietnam War, service members deserted, mutinied, […]
As if they weren’t already? The DEA is as responsible for the creation of the modern American police state as anyone. Wouldn’t it be funny if protestors went to their headquarters across the street from the Pentagon in Arlington and took it out? By Jason Leopold and Anthony […]
Enemy military vehicles taken out in armed struggle with minimal collateral damage. Impressive. Los Angeles: no civilian cars were harmed in the making of this photo.
As one who strives to be a consistent anarchist, I have been in favor of both sets of protests.
This is hardly new. After the melee at the 1968 Democratic National Convention, the office of Attorney General Ramsey Clark’s investigation claimed what happened in Chicago was a police riot. But then the incoming Nixon administration (in collusion with outgoing Johnson administration officials) used the events in Chicago […]
Fragmentation between the educationist and law enforcement wings of the managerial class. Interesting. By Ryan Faircloth Star Tribune Minneapolis Public Schools has severed its decadeslong relationship with the city’s police department in response to the death of George Floyd in police custody. The school board voted unanimously Tuesday […]
If Trump is the Nixon of our time, and Sanders is the McGovern, then Biden is the Hubert Humphrey. By Zachary Evans National Review Joe Biden on Monday suggested that police forces could train officers to shoot attackers in the legs in order to reduce potential fatalities. There […]
You’re not really helping your own cause, dude. By Ryan Grim, Aída Chávez The Intercept In an interview in April, Lt. Bob Kroll, head of Minneapolis’s police union, said that he and a majority of the Minneapolis Police Officers’ Federation’s board have been involved in police shootings. Kroll […]
