not only do we need direct action, we need a real uprising

democrats spent 4 years justifying the killing of a protester, charging activists with terrorism, accusing a bail fund of being a mafia, suspending the right of 116K+ people to hold a referendum in atlanta. after that, they spent a year apologizing for airstrikes at hospitals.

if you accuse someone of being an undercover cop or infiltrator, you must provide proof. if there is no proof, you must publicly apologize and revisit your own motives. if you cant do this, you must leave the movement.

the pro cop city councilmember of atlanta district 2, amir farokhi, lost yesterday to democratic socialist candidate kelsea bond. happy to see him gone. cop city should be politically and socially devastating for these people well into the future.

“…and in Atlanta the company has partnered with the Atlanta Police Foundation to install a permanentdrone station within the massive new Atlanta Public Safety Training Center.” #StopCopCity #StopCopNation

It is time for @ZohranKMamdani to stop the Queens Cop City and to dismantle the NYPD's Strategic Response Group. Autonomous movements must take the lead in establishing and enforcing their own political priorities.

"It is not the proper role of revolutionaries to wait for revolts to fall from heaven. Rather, it is our role to help precipitate and escalate them, bringing them to the heights of their potential, learning what we only can by taking our ideas to their logical conclusions."

the movement to defend the atl forest from becoming a massive police training compound ("Cop City") or a soundstage movie complex was built almost completely of volunteers, unpaid activists, and do-it-yourself organizers. the presence of a few NGOs at rallies doesnt change that.

Trumps round-table described the movement to Stop Cop City as domestic terrorism. We heard this before, from local Democrats. Today, we echo calls to unite against autocracy. Wherever 5 or 10 ppl come together, let fear subside and tactics begin.

Only one thing can stop them: concrete actions by millions of angry, desperate, scared, and imaginative people.

Democrats built Cop City to train police for urban warfare. Now Trump wants to deploy soldiers nationwide, gearing up for the global military crackdowns they’re dreaming of.

Cop City construction will never end. The forces behind it, specifically APF Pres Dave Wilkinson, cut their teeth in the 20 years of grift and fraud that was the Afghan war money train. The facility will always "need" new upgrades, new renovations, new taxpayer funding.

Yesterday, a judge sentenced Casey Goonan to 20 years for defense of a Gaza solidarity encampment. From coast to coast, the gov't is repressing autonomous movements and specifically the anarchists. Set aside your quarrels. They are coming for all of us.

A nazi gets shot and it's world news and people are crying about it but a black 21 year old is found hanging from a tree with broken limbs and all they get is a half arsed investigation and silence nothing has changed at all

the new red scare isnt a force of nature. its conducted, and facilitated by human beings. it is propped up with infrastructures, offices, contracts, and equipment. it is arranged in conferences, email lists, phone calls, and meeting halls. together, we can find the weak spots.

the most reasonable thing is to overthrow the system.

the democrats build cop cities across the country. those facilities will be used to train police to suppress, torture, abuse, and kill. they already are.

Liberal city governments must end their contracts with Flock Safety. They must be compelled by social movements to do so. This infrastructure will be used to round up leftists, antifascists, trans people, immigrants, and those seeking abortions. It already is.

Now, everyone will face the kinds of repression the Cop City movement has faced. Do not fear. Get organized. Start here:

if this ruling stands, only 5 people would still face prosecution under the domestic terrorism statute (out of 61 at present)

This is the biggest development in the case so far.
