“Despite having researched and worried about the mainstreaming of far-right, reactionary politics for almost two decades, I did not expect the slide towards full-fledged fascism to happen so quickly… The liberal fantasy had been sold to us as a bulwark against fascism. In fact, really existing liberalism has not only failed to counter the resurgence of fascism, but has in fact been fueling it all along.” - Aurelien Mondon https://reacpol.net/why-red-lines/

“Property destruction is not violence in any substantive sense. To use the same term for vandalism as direct physical brutality is an Orwellian pollution of language that cheapens real violence and suggests that people are equivalent to things. Obviously destroying people’s inert possessions is usually not ethically justifiable — but the bar is much lower than with real violence. Civil disobedience, like blocking a port, can incur costs in the millions of dollars, while other actions widely acce...

A US district judge has thrown out the legal “settlement” underpinning Trump’s $1.8 billion slush fund for January 6 rioters, ruling that it was never a genuine settlement, but an attempt to manipulate the court. “Even the headline number was for show: “the Fund amount—$1.776 billion—speaks of a ‘branding’ effort rather than a deliberate and thoughtful calculation of damages.”..

“We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Ben Morea (1941-2026), one of the most profound, courageous, and singular comrades to emerge from the 1960s revolutionary movement. Ben died Saturday in New Mexico while preparing a prayer ceremony for his grandson, who is currently incarcerated and facing trial. It is impossible to summarize the deep watermark Ben has left on anarchist and indigenous movements: from the founding of Black Mask and UAW/MF, to his years of horseback banditry, to...
