The anarchist author Gabriel Kuhn was planning on visiting the United States in early March and staying until May. He had speaking engagements set up at several colleges, bookstores, and coffeehouses. But he’s no longer coming.

Athan Rebelos works with Green Cab, a company that operates a fleet of fuel-efficient taxis out of San Francisco’s Mission District. Rebelos says a lot of cabbies think of their job as temporary -- a way to make extra money while they’re in school, or a stepping-stone after immigrating to the U.S. But for him, it’s more of a calling.

Baltimore needs a jolt. Poverty conditions for workers in the city’s Inner Harbor, a premier tourist and entertainment district, are threatening to become routine. Workers relate stories of poverty wages, sexual harassment, uncertain scheduling, inadequate health care, barriers to education, and unreasonable hours.

The Northeast Clusterfuck is stoked to descend on DC again this April! We’re all out in our cities and rural towns across the northeast US of Amerika, picking teams and spray painting our running shoes black, ready to bust ass in the Anticapitalathon Games against our most bitter of rivals, the International Murder Fund and the slimy World Bank.

One of the reasons I found it important to write my rebuttal was that I encounter a lot of assumptions not backed up by anything more than speculation. I believe that many of the “critiques” I read of actions within progressive or leftist or anti-authoritarian communities tend to be more finger-pointing and personality baiting than examination of the events with an eye toward problem solving (an actual critique).I notice that this has been a trend, particularly over the last year – execute an action and then write a “communique”; hear about/see/go to an action and write an automatic critique. While there are folks who want absolute transparency in movement building and action planning, the often reductive and belittling critiques of those very people ensures that they won't talk to you and won't work with you. If someone calls me an asshole enough times, I know not to show up at their house.

This week, New York City's Jewish community is riven by protests, counterprotests, and now, Jew-on-Jew threats over the question of Israel and the Palestinians.

Over the past few days, dozens of communiqués, letters, and statements have been circulating regarding issues of race, gender, and disrespect on M4. We have no intentions of addressing or disputing particular accusations or narratives regarding M4 in this statement; these things will inevitably be argued about elsewhere. Here, we attempt to discuss the language and politics that have been used in framing these issues.

A few weeks ago we posted a call-out asking for support in lieu of our pending eviction. After receiving many questions concerning logistics and the space itself, we have decided to issue the lowercase call-out part II to clear up any confusion.

Members of ZSP from Warsaw, Olsztyn and Wroclaw took part in women's day marches (called Manifa in Poland) on March 7. In Wroclaw and Warsaw there were radical blocks organized.

Angola prison, the state penitentiary of Louisiana, is the biggest prison in America. Built on the site of a former slave plantation, the 1,800-acre penal complex is home to more than 5,000 prisoners, the majority of whom will never walk the streets again as free men. Also known as the Farm, Angola took its name from the homeland of the slaves who used to work its fields, and in many ways still resembles a slave plantation today. Eighty per cent of the prisoners are African-Americans and, under the watchful eye of armed guards on horseback, they still work fields of sugar cane, cotton and corn, for up to 16 hours a day. "You've got to keep the inmates working all day so they're tired at night," says Warden Burl Cain, a committed evangelist who believes that the rehabilitation of convicts is only possible through Christian redemption.

35 year-old comrade Lambros Foundas was murdered by cops on Wednesday morning in the suburb of Dafni (south Athens).

During recent decades, the powers-that-be in the Golden State have grown accustomed to getting virtually everything on their political wish list. Declare a state of emergency, ram through unpopular and unnecessary measures that harm working class people and the environment, and brook no dissent in the process – that's been the prescription of the US Treasury, International Monetary Fund, and World Bank when “structurally adjusting” national economies in the Global South and Eastern Europe. California's political elites have used the same general formula to great effect in their home state.

Fire to the Prisons is a quarterly magazine distributed across the world. It focuses on resistance by different discontent groups around the world, and connecting them to a broader struggle or a common enemy. Every issue includes reports on different types of resistance globally: prisoner uprisings and revolts (in North America), native conflicts, looting and working class discontent, anti-fascism, immigrant struggles, anti-political social disturbances, student uprisings, animal or ecological defense, and more.

“Why the hell did you get on that highway?” asked the cops, our cell mates, our coworkers, our classmates. There are many responses that could be given that have been outlined by banners, occupation demands, student leaders, or budget statistics, but none of them really connect to why one would take over a highway. Obviously there are no libraries on a highway. The funding for schools isn't going to be found on any one of those lanes of oncoming traffic. And, in fact, a lot of people who were arrested on the highway were not students or teachers. This is because the highway takeover is an action against a power structure that is much larger than this year's budget crisis.

Catalan anarchist prisoner Amadeu Casellas Ramon was released from prison at midday on Tuesday, 9 March!!!

Over the past decade, government agencies around the US have paid out millions and millions of dollars in settlements resulting from federal and police violence against activists. And those are only the cases too flagrant to suppress—think how many more must go unreported! Far from an anomaly, illegal activity in the course of law enforcement is the norm; presumably it would be impossible to maintain law and order without it.

Long battles erupted today at the Athens protest march against the measures. The GSEE union boss was heavily beaten by protesters while battles with the cops developed for 3 hours all across the centre of the city after riot police attacked anti-Nazi resistance symbol Manolis Glezos.
