I stand in solidarity with Autistici/Inventati.

On 26th of August, the US government designated the A/I collective as a "global terrorist organization".

The A/I collective has provided free online services to antifascists worldwide for more than twenty years. Considerable wins in antifascist struggle have been helped by their services.

The A/I collective has published a statement in response to the designation here: https://cavallette.noblogs.org/2026/08/10076

Maybe you're connected to a struggle where their blogging platform https://noblogs.org is used?
In #norway, we are thousands of people struggling against a planned genocide-complicit #chemringnobel weapons explosives factory. An important part of our struggle is the actively defended zone @knuskrigsmaskinen, who relies on noblogs for their primary online presence at https://knuskrigsmaskinen.noblogs.org.

I highly recommend reading this blog post about the history of the A/I collective and the current situation: https://cavallette.noblogs.org/2026/08/10083/2

This move by the US government clearly shows their government's commitment to fascism; to the destruction of democratic, emancipatory, peace and anti-authoritarian movements and society -- worldwide.

All of us who dare insist on freedom should recognize this for what it is, and defend our collective right to organize.

Solidarity with Autistici/Inventati!

**Update, 28.08 10:50**: multiple people report being unable to reach the main A/I url "https://autistici.org".
"https://noblogs.org" is still reachable. I advise folks who use it, to export and backup all their data. I suggest following @cavallette for further updates.

**Update, 29.08 02:30**: Organisations can now sign an open letter in support of A/I: https://www.wewillfreeus.org/open-letter-communications-infrastructure-is-not-terrorism/

**Update, 30.08 0630 UTC**: Autistici / Inventati has published a 15 part press release regarding getting designated by the US as a "Specially Designated Global Terrorist": https://inventati.org/campaign/press

Quoting Aime Cesaire:

[...] Yes, it would be worthwhile to study clinically, in detail, the steps taken by Hitler and Hitlerism and to reveal to the very distinguished, very humanistic, very Christian bourgeois of the twentieth century that without his being aware of it, he has a Hitler inside him, that Hitler inhabits him, that Hitler is his demon, that if he rails against him, he is being inconsistent and that, at bottom, what he cannot forgive Hitler for is not the crime in itself, the crime against man, it is not the humiliation of man as such, it is the crime against the white man, the humiliation of the white man, and the fact that he applied to Europe colonialist procedures which until then had been reserved exclusively for the Arabs of Algeria, the 'coolies' of India, and the 'niggers' of Africa.

[...] People are astonished, they are indignant. They say: "How curious! But, bah! It's Nazism, it will pass!" And they wait, and they hope; and they hide from themselves the truth -- that it is barbarism, but the supreme barbarism, the one that crowns, the one that sums up the everydayness of barbarisms; that it is Nazism, yes, but that before being its victim, they were its accomplice; that this Nazism, they tolerated it before they suffered it, they absolved it, they turned a blind eye to it, they legitimized it, because, until then, it had only been applied to non-European peoples; that this Nazism, they cultivated it, they are responsible for it, and that it seeps, it pierces, it drips, before swallowing everything in its reddened waters, from all the cracks of Western and Christian civilization.

ah no, they're back again, and giving a history lesson on the meaning of 'Fenian' and also a but of the old anti-colonialism there.
They intend to reclaim the word for Irish people, the ancient Fenians were a tribe of warrior giants and Kneecap wish to celebrate that rather than the English use of the word.

BBC Huw's Welsh ears have picked up on this, it's a big day in Wales today btw!

🚨 Fuertes vientos de cambio 🌬️

Estados Unidos gasta más que nadie en guerras (74% del presupuesto militar mundial), mientras que el Sur Global crece frenéticamente. China lidera en 57 de 64 tecnologías clave, Estados Unidos sólo en siete.

Los BRICS+ y el comercio Sur-Sur se dispara a medida que las naciones abandonan el dominio del dólar. Desde los golpes antifranceses de Burkina Faso hasta el resurgir de movimientos sociales de izquierda en América Latina, las naciones se sacuden el dominio occidental.

Burkina Faso: The Rise of a Nation That Said No to the West

In a world shaped by quiet subjugation and subtle control, Burkina Faso is roaring back, loud, unapologetic, and uncompromising.

This small West African nation, once dismissed as a “failed state,” is flipping the imperial script with surgical precision. In under five years, it has expelled French troops, rejected IMF loans, nationalized foreign-owned mines, powered cities with solar energy, and rolled out its own line of electric vehicles.

How?

At the center of this transformation is 37-year-old Captain Ibrahim Traoré, Africa’s youngest head of state and arguably the West’s newest geopolitical headache. Once a dusty pawn in France’s post-colonial chessboard, Burkina Faso is today a defiant voice in global geopolitics. And it’s not just about one man, it’s about what he represents: a continent done with dependency.

And it’s not just about one man, it’s about what he represents: a continent done with dependency.

The man who makes the West squirm

Since taking power in September 2022, Traoré has reportedly survived at least 19 assassination attempts. The targets were real. The message was clear.

Why? Because he’s dangerous, to the status quo.

He is young, military-trained, and ideologically focused. He speaks not in diplomatic pleasantries, but in the language of sovereignty, dignity, and pride. Through social media and grassroots broadcasts, his words reach far beyond his borders, inspiring a new generation of African youth. He has no interest in being legitimized by Paris or Washington.

Instead, he’s forging new alliances, with Mali, Niger, Guinea, and Russia, under the Alliance of Sahel States, a regional bloc anchored in self-defense, resource control, and African-led governance.

The threat is so real that Traoré has publicly said: “They want me dead, not because I failed, but because I refused to kneel.”

From French Colony to IMF Laboratory

France colonized Burkina Faso, then Upper Volta, in 1896. It extracted gold, cotton, and labor, and left behind a hollowed state by 1960. But even after independence, France’s grip never loosened. It continued to dominate the economy through control of the CFA franc, foreign mining contracts, and military presence under the guise of “counterterrorism.”
For decades, Burkina Faso lived in a loop: coups, Western aid, IMF austerity, repeat. Structural adjustment programs slashed health and education spending while protecting elite interests. Meanwhile, French and Canadian companies extracted over 60,000 kilograms of gold annually by 2024, while most Burkinabè remained in poverty.

The Black President the West can’t control

When Traoré, a little-known military captain, ousted the French-aligned regime in September 2022, it wasn’t just a change of leadership; it was a rupture. Traoré didn’t just challenge the West rhetorically. He has done it operationally.

But Traoré didn’t stop at regime change. He launched a revolution, not with slogans, but with blueprints.

• He expelled French troops.
  He rejected IMF loans, calling them “modern-day slavery.”
  He told foreign donors to stop building mosques and start building factories.

As he bluntly put it in a widely circulated interview, “Don’t bring us aid. Bring us ownership. We’ll run the manufacturing facilities ourselves.”

The revolution was basic, but radical

Captain Ibrahim Traoré didn’t arrive with billion-dollar bailouts or corporate mega-deals.
He did the basics. Just the basics. But in a region sabotaged by centuries of extraction and dependency, doing the basics was revolutionary.

He focused on nation-building, community-building, and economic development. He prioritized education over military spending, science over religion, manufacturing over dependency, and agriculture over mining. He focused on food security, community empowerment through small businesses, and natural resources conservation through sustainable agriculture practices, mining with a plan, and self-sustenance through local production of goods. He beefed up government services to provide basic needs such as healthcare, education, and electricity. He ripped the governance of corruption and financial misappropriation.

• Education over war: In 2023, after cutting defense ties with France, Burkina Faso expanded investments in education. The government launched school meal programs, restored rural classrooms with solar power, and increased funding for universities and technical institutes by over 40%. The goal: produce engineers, not aid recipients.
• Science over religion: When Gulf donors offered to build 200 mosques, Traoré refused. “We don’t need more mosques. We need factories,” he said. In 2024 alone, more than 500 local technicians were trained in solar energy and electric vehicle manufacturing. New training centers in Ouagadougou and Bobo-Dioulasso are preparing youth for careers in electric vehicle production, renewable energy, and light manufacturing.
  • Solar power and electricity: In 2021, only 19% of Burkina Faso had access to electricity. By 2025, solar plants like Zagtouli (33 MW), Kodeni (38 MW), and Zina (26.6 MW) added over 150 MW of clean energy capacity. Off-grid solar microgrids began powering rural health clinics, schools, and small businesses.
  • Homegrown EVs: In 2025, Burkina Faso launched the ITAOUA, a 100% solar-powered electric car designed and built locally. With a range of 330 km, it’s a symbol of national pride and proof that the country doesn’t need to import the future, it can build it.
• Agriculture over mining: Traoré didn’t abandon mining, but he demanded it work for the people. From 2023 to 2025, food production increased by 30%, driven by subsidies for seeds, solar irrigation, and rural cooperatives. Over 200,000 smallholders received access to off-grid storage and market access. New mining licenses now require community benefit clauses and environmental accountability.
• Governance: In just two years, over 900 government officials were investigated for corruption. A special audit unit was established to oversee public procurement and natural resource management. Government presence in rural areas increased by over 40%, restoring trust in basic public services like healthcare, water, and education.
• Gold and sovereignty: A national gold refinery, opened in 2024, now allows Burkina Faso to process its own mineral wealth for the first time. Traoré is also moving to nationalize foreign-run mines, ensuring profits stay within the country instead of being siphoned off.
• Healthcare: Under Traoré, the government launched solar-powered mobile clinics offering maternal care, HIV testing, and cancer screenings, especially in areas where health services were once only available through foreign NGOs.

Traoré’s genius wasn’t in declaring independence. It was in making it visible, through food on tables, light in homes, teachers in classrooms, and factories run by Burkinabè hands.

In a world where many leaders chase headlines and foreign handshakes, Traoré chose something rare: he governed, he turned sovereignty from an abstract concept into a lived experience.

And that, more than anything, is what shook the West: a leader who didn’t beg for recognition but built a system that couldn’t be ignored.

Contrast this with Pakistan, where the state has long been held hostage by a toxic mix of religious extremism, foreign debt, and military-first governance. Decades of IMF bailouts, military compromise, and external dependencies have left the nation politically unstable, economically shackled, and branded as an eternal beggar.

Wise Traoré saw that trap, and refused to walk into it. Instead, he turned down aid with strings. He demanded partnerships with ownership. And, he rebuilt his nation by starting where others wouldn’t, at the roots.

The voice the West can’t silence

Burkina Faso’s revolution isn’t just political. It’s cultural. It’s generational. It’s viral.

Across Africa and the Global South, Traoré is no longer just a president. He’s become a symbol of what’s possible when sovereignty is not for sale.

The age of silence is over. The Global South is speaking. And Ibrahim Traoré is the voice the West can’t shut down.

From #Wikipedia: #KleeBenally was an Indigenous activist, author, musician, and environmentalist from #NavajoNation.

Early life

"Benally was born in Black Mesa, Arizona to Jones and Berta Benally. He was from the Tódích’íi’nii and Wandering People clans. His father, Jones, was a traditional Diné and his mother, Berta is of Russian-Polish Jewish descent. Klee grew up with the traditions of his father. During his childhood, Klee's family was forcibly displaced due to a land dispute that resulted in thousands of Navajo people losing their homes. Benally spent most of his life in Flagstaff, Arizona.

Activism

#AntiColonialism

"Klee used his works to advocate for #AntiColonial #IndigenousResistance. In his book, #NoSpiritualSurrender, Benally argues for#IndigenousAnarchy to achieve total liberation of #Nahasdzáán (#MotherEarth). He also created the game #BurnTheFort, where each player takes the role of an Indigenous warrior fighting to stop #colonization of their land.

"In 2014, Benally protested outside the Super Bowl against the use of Washington Football Team's name "Redskin", which some considered offensive to Native Americans. The name was changed in 2022.

Environmentalism

"Benally advocated fiercely against the expansion of the #ArizonaSnowbowlSkiResort and the use of treated wastewater to make snow, arguing that it was destroying the local ecosystem. He also protested against pumice and #UraniumMining and transport in the area, advocating the clean up of mines from the Cold War Era. Klee typically framed the struggle for #environmental rights in the context of religious freedom for Indigenous peoples, stating that:

"'This is a struggle for cultural survival — the struggle to protect sacred spaces.'

Music

"In 1989, when Benally was 14 years old he founded the punk rock band Blackfire with his siblings, Jeneda and Clayson. The band mixed traditional #NavajoChants and music with #ProtestSongs about the oppression of Indigenous people. Benally was the band's guitarist. The band's first EP called# Blackfire was released in 1994 and produced by CJ Ramone. In 2002, the band released its first album, #OneNationUnder.

Personal life

"Klee was married to Princess Benally. Klee died at the age of 48, on December 30th, 2023 in a hospital in Phoenix. He is survived by his siblings, wife, and parents."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klee_Benally

#RestInPowerKleeBenally #RIPKleeBenally #HaulNo

On December 30th, Klee Benally joined the ancestors.

Klee was a Diné anarchist, author, musician, land defender and community organizer based in the occupied lands of so-called Flagstaff Arizona.
He was an influential and powerful voice who consistently challenged anarchists in Turtle Island to kill the colonizer in their own heads, and to incorporate an anticolonial analysis into their political frameworks.

This interview was conducted with Klee in 2019, as part of Trouble #18: ACAB.
In it, he discusses the colonial roots of policing in the so-called United States, and the experiences of racial profiling faced by Indigenous people living in the cities that dot the colonial border between the US and Mexico.

Those who haven't done so should check out Klee's writings online, including his book
"No Spiritual Surrender: Indigenous Anarchy in Defense of the Sacred".

"From 1959-60, in the context of the Cold War, during the establishment of the neocolonial bourgeoisie and in the face of France's obstinacy in refusing the UPC its rightful place in Kamerun, asking if the UPC was communist could only have one revolutionary answer: Yes it was, since its leaders were already talking explicitly about socialism as the end goal of the UPC's struggle. Read:

“The UPC follows the example of China and Indochina, and seeks to build a socialist society modeled on that of People's China.”

This is what the highest official of the UPC [Moumié] said, addressing a young executive and designating without ambiguity the socialist horizon as the objective to be achieved in Kamerun.
