@defendourjuries.bsky.social#PalestineAction Activists to Be Sentenced As Terrorists in Move Kept Secret From Jury and Public
“Convicting activists for one charge, then sentencing them as terrorists, is more outrageous than the proscription of Palestine Action.”

"The Real-Life Teenage Castaways Who Proved 'Lord of the Flies' Wrong
In 1965, six boys were stranded for fifteen months on an uninhabited island, but things went very differently than they do in William Golding's classic novel.
William Golding’s 1954 book *The Lord of the Flies* follows a group of young boys who wind up stranded on a remote island. Spoiler alert—things devolve into pure chaos, and the darkest crevices of human nature emerge.
Yet just eleven years after the book’s publication, six teenage boys really did find themselves stranded on an uninhabited island in the Pacific. They were there for fifteen months before being rescued, but unlike the characters in Lord of the Flies, all of them survived the ordeal—and what happened on the island couldn’t have been more different from what Golding dreamed up."

a squat lasting 715 days, one of more than twenty houses occupied in support of residents fighting against the demolition of the Lesnes Estate in Thamesmead. The spaces hosted assemblies, exhibitions, film screenings, design workshops, talks, dinner parties and mediation – shared with antagonism, inspiration, the banal, affection, disillusionment, hope and refuge.

Ah, they don't mention the two that were acquitted in the headlines, do they? Not quite the total victory the Establishment wanted, but it's the story the majority are going to get

For International Worker's Day I give you a piece from one of my favourite albums: "Fellow Workers" from Ani Difranco and Utah Phillips. Difranco took recordings of Phillips telling union stories and set them to music.
In the current situation I think Direct Action is rather timely.

Beyond Protest in the Second Trump Era
"For rally-goers who are motivated afterward to step up and do more, where will their energies be directed: party politics or popular power? And who will present them with that alternative, if not us?
Now is the time to build and strengthen organizations in our schools, neighborhoods, and workplaces to not only resist the agenda of the Trump administration and their outriders, but to take the initiative and pull people toward long-term organizing efforts. There are three ways we can do this, and all of them are necessary:
1. Maintain protest mobilizations.
2. Criticize the right and put forward alternative ideas more compelling than what liberals and the official left are offering.
3. Pull people who are mobilized for protest into long-term organizing efforts.#Democracy #Organize #Labor #Union #MayDay #GeneralStrike #Protest #US #Resist #Community #PopularPower #DirectAction #Anarchism #Socialism

KI kurzschliessen!
'Der momentane Hype rund um KI ist nicht zu umgehen. KI-Sprachmodelle wie ChatGPT sind omnipräsent und in allen möglichen Bereichen wird KI als Lösung für alles angepriesen. Dabei ist der Begriff „Künstliche Intelligenz“ pure Propaganda: KI ist nicht intelligent, sondern einfach „Statistik auf Steroiden“. Und KI ist auch nicht rein aus künstlichen Einsen und Nullen, sondern hat sehr reale gesellschaftliche und ökologische Auswirkungen auf die Leben vieler Menschen und Gemeinschaften....'

"Anarchists often note that there is a difference between protest and direct action:
Protest is an appeal to the authorities to behave differently; direct action, whether it’s a matter of a community building a well, trying to shut down a meeting, or occupying a factory, it is a matter of acting as if the existing structure of power does not even exist.
Direct action is, ultimately, the defiant insistence on acting as if one is already free." - David Graeber

Strategies & Tactics for #SocialChange
Some Lessons from the Movement in the US Against the #Vietnam War
https://world-outlook.com/2026/04/27/strategies-tactics-for-social-change/from #WorldOutlook
April 27, 2026In the past year, millions in the US have protested Washington’s attacks on democratic rights, #ICE terror, and imperialist war. Among them are many young people, alongside others who have never before taken to the streets.
These activists are testing strategies and tactics and debating how to push back #Trump’s march toward one-man rule. Many of the questions they face have been posed before, perhaps most notably during the anti- #VietnamWar movement in the #US in the 1960s and early ’70s.
As the #war escalated and opposition broadened, discussion flourished over how to build the movement. Debates often centered on the effectiveness of “#DirectAction,” or #CivilDisobedience, vs. mass marches and rallies, and on the demands promoted in these actions.

I like the overall idea, but I disagree with these definitions.
The way I heard it, "direct action" is directly causing the thing you want: like mask blocs giving out masks, or the Black Panthers running breakfast clubs, or shutting down a factory so that harmful things physically can't be made.
By that definition, protests or letters or speeches whose purpose is to _ask_ for something or _demand_ something, valuable as those might also be, are not "direct action".
The term is often used loosely, but when I heard this way of thinking about it, it made sense to me and I think the distinction is valuable.
