Nexus X HumectressThis should happen with every presidential administration. An important question is this: Would the protests at the White House be taking place if Biden were President? Probably not, even though Biden is more personally responsible for the present American police state than Trump. Trump has merely inherited a […]
More direct action, though they should probably wait until the uprising is over. Otherwise, they’re just wasting their time. MPR News Staff Volunteers gathered in Minneapolis Saturday morning, cleaning up Lake Street at Nicollet Avenue, near the epicenter of Friday night’s protests over the killing of George Floyd. […]
An anarchist in Minneapolis writes: “Both protesters/rioters and police/national guard are currently roaming south Minneapolis with firearms, including machine guns. There have been reports of shots fired. Both sides seem to be highly mobile, with groups forming and dissolving in a very fluid way.” An illustration of why […]
An anarchist in Minneapolis who is observing these events on the ground writes: “There’s now a number of different armed groups of residents out there defending their homes and small business owners defending their businesses. I think that this is great. Just because the police say that they […]
Tonight the Minneapolis Police Department Opened fire on our first aid station with no regard for the wounded people we had inside.
So what do you know? Rummy the Dummy actually got one right. “While no one condones looting, on the other hand, one can understand the pent-up feelings that may result from decades of repression and people who have had members of their family killed…” – Donald Rumsfeld An […]
I wonder who, if anyone, claims ownership rights over these. They sound like interesting potential sites for squatter camps or intentional communities. Only in Your State 1. Lake Valley, between Nutt and Hillsboro Flickr/David Cohen Flickr/Jimmy Emerson, DVM
I don’t think they liked that one of their cop shops was burned to the ground. Slate The ongoing protests following the killing of George Floyd were caught up in violence again on Saturday, as police all over the country teargassed protestors, drove vehicles through crowds, opened fire […]
WFLA Orlando ORLANDO, Fla. (WFLA) – Protesters and police officers gathered Friday outside a Florida home that belongs to fired Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin, who has been arrested for the death of George Floyd. Orange County Sheriff John Mina addressed the gathering on Friday, saying his office […]
By Ana Lastra and Eric Rasmussen A former club owner in south Minneapolis says the now-fired police officer and the black man who died in his custody this week both worked security for her club up to the end of last year. George Floyd and now-former Officer Derek […]
Associated Press As unrest spread across dozens of American cities on Friday, the Pentagon took the rare step of ordering the Army to put several active-duty U.S. military police units on the ready to deploy to Minneapolis, where the police killing of George Floyd sparked the widespread protests.

It looks like Colin is having the last word. By Tommy Beer Forbes The Know Your Rights Legal Initiative, which is a new project of the former NFL quarterback’s nonprofit Know Your Rights Camp, set up a web page Friday where anyone “arrested while fighting injustice” can apply […]
We have a cop problem in America, not a racism problem.
Even the most committed MAGAs have to go along with this one.
Why not anti-lockdown protests AND anti-police protests? And no about there are dangerous lunatics everywhere: among anti-lockdown protestors and anti-police protestors, and among the anti-protestors, the police, the government, the ruling class.
From what I have seen so far during the uprising there seems to been have both attacks on state and ruling class targets (courthouses, police stations, McDonald’s Target) as well as, regrettably, petite bourgeois and working-class targets.
The ruling class’ lipstick on a pig.
This is 1960s level stuff here.
Sir David Peel fucked up big time. LibCom.Org Excellent text examining the creation of the first police forces, which took place in England and the US in just a few decades in the mid-19th century. And explaining that they were not brought into being to prevent crime or […]

Back in 1990, I did some strike support work with the Greyhound bus drivers’ union when they were on strike. Most of those guys wouldn’t even show up for picket duty. Hopefully, their attitude has changed. Friday evening, bus drivers in New York City and members of TWU […]
Shit, that don’t mean anything. I’ve known white women who were beaten, abducted, tortured, and raped by pigs. What do you see in this pic? This is white privilege being used correctly in Louisville, KY. This is the power of being a woman. A line of Caucasian women […]
By Patrick Jaicomo and Anya Bidwell USA Today On Monday, May 25, Minneapolis police killed George Floyd. While two officers pinned the handcuffed Floyd on a city street, another fended off would-be intervenors, as a fourth knelt on Floyd’s neck until — and well after — he lost […]
NBC News Clashes between police and protesters continued to erupt across the country Saturday as thousands descended on the streets, pleading for justice in the wake of George Floyd‘s death this week in Minneapolis. Curfews have been put in place in many cities including Minneapolis, Chicago, Seattle, Portland, […]
Robert Graham’s compilations of classic anarchist writings are excellent. In May – June 1920 the Makhnovist Insurgent Army in Ukraine was fighting the Czarist counter-revolutionaries and the Bolshevik Red Army, which was seeking to consolidate the burgeoning Bolshevik dictatorship. This is a manifesto issued by the Makhnovists, appealing […]
I would strongly suspect that the protestors are heavily infiltrated by feds and pigs. Caitlin Johnstone seems to agree. By Caitlin Johnstone Ron Paul Institute A video has been circulating of a white man casually smashing the windows of a Minneapolis shop with a hammer during protests against the police […]
This scene resembles one of those science fiction films where astronauts travel to space only to return and find that Planet Earth has been destroyed in an apocalypse.
Last night, crowds gathered outside the White House and clashed with Secret Service members.
“You can’t make this shit up.” -American motto, 2020 Before departing for the SpaceX launch, President Trump spoke about protests across the country, blaming Antifa and ‘far left’ groups, as well as talking about MAGA protesters.
LOL. What a great carnival show America is today. Barr has a history of covering for police state murderers (see “Ruby Ridge“). I’m fine with sicking the Antifa on him. Heel vs. Heel. Attorney General Bill Barr held a news conference on Saturday blasting far left groups “hijacking” […]
Vince has the perfect comeback to the “he shouldn’t have broken the law” dumbasses. “Why the protesting and rioting? Because until now the police have held a special position in our society as a protected class. They could lie, cheat, steal, break the law and murder civilians and […]
It just keeps on getting better. By Laura Italiano Market Watch President Trump taunted CNN as the network’s Atlanta headquarters was attacked by rioters, retweeting a supporter who noted what she called the “irony” of the violence. Trump retweeted conservative supporter “Melissa A.,” who snarked that the network […]
Just think of it as a “stimulus” or a “bailout,” applied on the grassroots level by the “base,” and using direct action (kind of like a “kill list”) while bypassing the legislative process (kind of like an executive order, administrative law, or case law). “How’s this for an […]
Once again, Trump presents the state as it ought to be presented (i.e. as a glorified mafia that’s just about power and violence) which is why “liberals” don’t like him. MSNBC liberals actually support most of his policies. If anything, they think he’s not warmongering or authoritarian enough. […]
I have generally found The Onion, Hard Times, and Babylon Bee to be the most accurate and reliable news sources. Current events represent an advancement for inclusion and progress, and a step forward toward a more equitable society, based on the principles of equal opportunity, where rich and […]
By Brett McCabe The Hard Times MINNEAPOLIS — Rioters protesting the unlawful killing of another unarmed black man at the hands of police officers successfully burned Minneapolis’ Third Precinct police station to the ground, tragically leaving nearly 20,000 more stations standing. “We see this as a step in […]

By Jason Koebler, Joseph Cox, and Jordan Pearson Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is flying a Predator drone, military technology used for surveilling and killing terrorists abroad, over Minneapolis […]
Retail and fast-food workers are some of the most poorly treated workers in the US service industries. Some years ago, a worldwide social science research project was conducted that showed McDonald’s “Golden Arches” were the most recognized symbol globally, even more so than the Christian cross or the […]
I’ve noticed that both Blue Tribe and Red Tribe loyalists are often the first to attack protestors on “the other side.” Folks who vociferously condemned the Rodney King riots in 1992 were supporting the militia movement a few years later. Folks who cheered the Waco and Ruby Ridge […]
