I better not buy starch now! Are there any other foodstuffs that I should avoid buying if I don't want to be IMO killed by brutal assault by the brutal Czech regime? Flour? Sugar? Baking soda? Salt? Now a citizen is afraid to buy basic foodstuffs! I believe that is called terrorism!

"jsem byl já, Pavel Čižinský, podezřelým z vraždy. Dokonce několika vražd pražských taxikářů.
Prověřování vzniklo tak, že vrah nastupoval do nočních taxíků vždy na Karlově náměstí v Praze a policie ze záznamů operátorů zjistila, že v tomto místě byl ve všech případech zaznamenán signál mého mobilního telefonu. Já jsem samozřejmě kriminalistovi vysvětlil, že mám kousek nad Karlákem advokátní kancelář, kde jsem pracoval často i do noci. Policistovo podezření jsem tímto zřejmě rozptýlil, nicméně i tak mi nabídl, že by přesto pro kontrolu udělal stěr mých slin, s čímž jsem ve své vyděšenosti souhlasil; ač své klienty vždy nabádám, aby vůči policii na svých právech trvali.
Doma mi žena — asi to bylo ještě před svatbou — vyčetla: „No, to máš z toho, jak seš pořád v práci!“ Nakonec jsme se tomu zasmáli nejen s ní, ale i s dalšími kolegy. Vraha pak po nějaké době našli."

"It is clear that #borderRegimes—state institutions designated with the sole authority to deport and restrict entry—have today become a central mechanism for white supremacist worldmaking. What set of forces gave rise to these regimes, though, and how did they attain such wide-reaching, brutal strength? There is no shortage of historical antecedents." - #RobynMaynard

"[A]mid the redoubts of normality, a wide network of organized resistance and mutual aid had sprung up. The #Minneapolis - St. Paul metro area has a population of about three million. Immigrants comprise a fraction of this figure—about 10 percent—but it’s as if the entire city had mobilized in their defense."

'The United Kingdom's High Court has ruled that #Palestine Action should never have been proscribed as a "terrorist" organization. As the case winds its way to a final decision, what does this mean for the thousands of Britons who have been arrested — and for the future of Palestinian solidarity in the UK?'

Call for Solidarity with Miguel Peralta Betanzos Continues
The three months given to the Collegiate Court of Oaxaca to resolve the appeal in case 631/2022 of politically persecuted anarchist, Miguel Peralta Betanzos, has come and gone. As is custom, the state doesn’t fulfill its own rules, further wearing down and tiring out those who are facing legal cases, their family members, communities, and compas. It now seems that the hearing and resolution from the court will come sometime in the final weeks of January or in February 2026. Although nor should we trust the state’s word.
It is important to highlight that this is one of the last remaining legal resources available for Miguel Peralta to free himself of the political persecution of the Mexican State. There are multiple possible results with this resolution. One is that his original 50-year sentence is confirmed. Another is that he is absolved of all charges and granted his absolute freedom. There is much at stake…
We continue calling on individuals, collectives, and organizations to show their solidarity with Miguel Peralta. Art, graphics, letters, communiques, events, street actions, everything and anything can add to the ongoing solidarity.
Absolute Freedom for Miguel Peralta!

How Germany’s fight against anti-Semitism is empowering the far right
"Prominent #Jewish #Australian journalist Antony Loewenstein returns to his ancestral home, #Germany, to investigate how the country’s impulse never to repeat the horrendous anti-Semitism that led to the #Holocaust has resulted in the suppression of any criticism of Israel and its actions in #Gaza.
With critics of Israel being sacked, cancelled, silenced, arrested and banned from Germany, one Jewish philosopher has called this a “McCarthyism” for the 21st century. We’ll see how in today's Germany, a nation that killed most of his family but granted him citizenship in 2011, Loewenstein is told, as a Jew, what is acceptable to say about Israel. To find out why the German authorities are so committed to stifling any criticism of Israeli actions and what it means for #democracy and #humanrights in the country, he will meet those being arrested and suffering job losses for criticising Israel, the people enforcing these laws and those on the far right claiming to support #Israel.

"[A]ctivists who have disarmed weapons systems have been acquitted by juries because their actions were aimed at preventing war crimes. [...] Such an outcome is exactly what the government is trying to avoid. In taking #PalestineAction activists to court on charges of criminal damage, they risk exposing the chasm between government policy and public opinion."

Tomorrow is the International Day of Solidarity with Long-Term Anarchist Prisoners (or, simply, June 11th, because the full name is a mouthful) and we're marking the date with a fundraiser!
Last year we raised almost $900 for freedom fighters inside the prison system, and this year we're aiming to break a grand by donating net proceeds from every single sale we make in-store and online!
Every book, t-shirt, sticker, or other item you purchase Wednesday will generate funds for prisoner commissary, legal defense, and other crucial support needs.
So, grab your next read, and then, if you're local, head next door to The Odd, where BRABC is organizing a benefit concert featuring four bands, local art, and a raffle. For more information on June 11th, check out https://june11.noblogs.org, where you can also find a list of individuals supported by the campaign.
