Will Potter on How the State and the Media Go After Radical Movements

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2MPVWHbhyw&ab_channel=GreenandRedPodcast

We’re in an unprecedented rollback of #CivilLiberties. States are passing laws to #OutlawProtests and #DirectAction, charging non-violent protesters with “#DomesticTerrorism” and #legalizing the #RunningOver of people blocking traffic. #StateSurveillance of activists has increased dramatically. Police budgets are getting astronomical increases to further militarize the state. In Atlanta, in the #StopCopCity campaign, police #assassinated a #ForestDefender, #Tortuguita, who had their hands up and then tried to claim self-defense.

To put this all in context, we talk with investigative journalist and author Will Potter (@will_potter). We discuss the #StopHuntington #AnimalCruelty campaign, the #EarthLiberationFront, the taming down of climate actions in the 2010s and how the police state ignored right wing terror groups in the same period.

We also discuss the role of the #FBI and the liberal #CorporateMedia in going after radical movements, how Cop City is shifting things and where popular culture fits into the story.

i want to share a couple of revamped WW2 political posters under #CreativeCommons #NonCommercialUse to aid #protest of #CopCity

#Police Shot #Atlanta #CopCity #Protester 57 Times, #Autopsy Finds
When 26-year-old Manuel “Tortuguita” Terán was shot dead by police during a brutal, multi-agency raid on the #DefendAtlantaForest, #StopCopCity encampment in January, the activist’s friends felt certain of two things: #Tortuguita was murdered, and whatever narrative the police offered would be a lie.

09/04/2023 – ABC Fest 2023 & Erinnerung an Tortuguita https://www.a-radio.net/2023/6231 #Sendungen #aradio_berlin #abc_fest #ABC_Wien #anachist_black_cross_solidarity_festival #crust #dbeat #hc #punk #tortuguita

Please continue to support #StopCopCity in all ways (front line activism, jail funds, phone calls, spreading the word...).

Read the reports from the frontlines after last week of action (I just boosted several). Notice that #Tortuguita was likely sitting on ground with hands raised when shot 14x. Get angry, take action.

Thank you. #DefendAtlantaForest #Justice #AntiFacism #BlackLives

Of fucking course the body cam footage of police murdering #Tortuguita confirms that the injured officer was due to friendly fire.

They think we're stupid, they intentionally lied, pretended the body cam footage didn't exist, and didn't admit that the cops predictably shot each other.
