Montreal: Attack on Police Training College

Three Murders in 24 Hours. Night Attack on Police Training College. Justice for Abisay!

On Monday night, April 14th, anarchists entered Collège de Maisonneuve, which hosts the police training program, Techniques policières. The entrance was painted with “MINI COPS = FUTURE KILLERS” and “JUSTICE FOR ABISAY CRUZ” as well as other tags like “3 STATE MURDERS IN 24H” and “MAKE FASCISTS AFRAID”. A fire extinguisher filled with paint was very helpful, and a window was smashed. We do not forget the murders and abuses committed by the Montreal police over the last few weeks; readers, please spread the popular vengeance. To the students of the Techniques policières program: drop out and change paths, it is not a safe future, neither for us, nor for you. This program trains people who will be the future of state violence. The police is a force that punishes the poor, immigrants and racialized people, that beats and shoots protesters, that arrests and kills people like flies. This society is sick and the sickness is capitalism, the State, and hierarchy, and the guardians of this terrible social order are the police. We will never forget the injustices committed against us. Long live the memory of Abisay Cruz and that of all those killed by the police.

In this video, we can see the curious looks of passersby the following day.

Erste Beben - Aufstände der Erde

"Seit 2021 gibt es die Bewegung der „Soulèvements de la Terre“, eingedeutscht als „Aufstände der Erde“, die auch kollektiv als Autoren des Buches „Erste Beben“ signieren.

Sie schildern die ganze Vielfalt von Aktionen der beteiligten Aktivist*innen: Sabotage, Blockaden, Besetzungen, direkte Aktionen verschiedenster Art, spektakuläre wie klandestine Aktivitäten.

Die „Soulèvements“ sind ein Netzwerk aus Aktivist*innen, Bäuer*innen, unterschiedlichen Kollektiven etc., das den vielen Fragmenten des Widerstands einen Zusammenhalt gibt. ..."

Endlich ist ein #Buch auf Deutsch erschienen, dass uns einen genaueren Einblick in die vielseitigen Kämpfe in Frankreich gibt, die in der sog. Klima- und Umweltbewegung stattfinden.

Today in Labor History April 22, 1996: Peace activists Tom & Donna Howard-Hastings celebrated Earth Day 1996 by cutting down three power poles in Clam Lake, Wisconsin, preventing the launch of the U.S. Navy's first-strike nuclear submarine. They stapled an indictment against nuclear war to one of the poles and signed it "with disarming love, Tom & Donna." The district attorney charged them with criminal damage to property and sabotage. However, a jury found them not guilty of sabotage. This was just the fourth time in 16 years that members of the Plowshares antinuclear movement were acquitted of such charges. From 1980-1995, there had been 57 trials of antinuclear activists on sabotage charges. In northern Wisconsin, these direct actions focused on Extremely Low-Frequency transmitters, known as ELF, used to communicate with submerged nuclear submarines.

I know Instagram is evil, but honestly, the Climate Liberation Aotearoa and 350 crew are killing it with the stuff they are posting about the #stocktonMine occupation (over 35 hours now!)

Here's a taster responding to Jones's ludicrous press release earlier today; but if you still have an account there, please give them some love because they are heroes and their posts are pure 🔥

Zu den Durchsuchungen, Vorladungen und Verhaftungen in #München und #Salzburg im Februar 2025

"Im Augenblick geht es erst mal darum, wie die Betroffenen unmittelbar unterstützt werden können. Die Gefangenen freuen sich bestimmt über Post, Soli-Aktionen und Feuerwerk und auch die anderen Beschuldigten und Zeug*innen können Support sicher gut gebrauchen. Die anstehenden Verfahren werden viel Geld kosten und Zeit in Anspruch nehmen. Praktische Infos wie ihr sie unterstützen könnt, findet ihr unten. Darüber hinaus sind uns aber noch zwei andere Punkte wichtig: wir alle sollten uns zum einen überlegen, wie wir uns gegen die (mögliche weitere) Repression von Staatsanwaltschaft und Bullen organisieren und schützen können. Zum anderen und mit Blick darauf, dass der Angriff nicht nur gegen die jetzt Beschuldigten sondern auch ganz grundsätzlich gegen eine antagonistische Praxis und Organisierung gerichtet ist, wollen wir mit euch unsere Gedanken zu militanter Praxis unter den gegebenen politischen Verhältnissen teilen. Vielleicht habt ihr da Widerspruch, vielleicht seht ihr auch Übereinstimmungen....."

When the #Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise set sail to protest the first ever oil drilling in the Arctic Ocean, none of the people on board could have known what was coming.

Seized at gunpoint by Russian forces, the #Arctic30 were thrust into headlines all over the world, facing up to 15 years in prison and finding themselves at the centre of a bitter international dispute.

Great Interview from @thebeautifulidea with Dean Spade!

"In a time of increasing despair, he urges us to move beyond symbolic actions and embrace riskier, more meaningful forms of action that require trust, deep solidarity, and real vulnerability. We touch on Spade's personal journey of radicalization, think about some of the potential of this moment, and unpack some concrete tools for self-reflection and expression."

The Beautiful Idea · A Discussion With Dean SpadeDean Spade is the author of "Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During this Crisis and the Next", and "Normal Life: Administrative Violence, Critical Trans Politics, and the Limits of Law". Well known for highlighting the ways that mutual aid can be a direct response to societal needs as well as a

"We bypass politicians and go straight to the aggressors. This takes two forms. The first is about slowing the pace of the violence and making it harder for #Israel to carry out its aims. [...] The second form of disruption is focused on the Israeli economy."

YOU might fill this role. If you can't get to a protest, can't afford to put cash in the hat for #MutualAid, you may still be able to further #resistance by simply knowing enough people to connect a person who needs help with someone who can offer it.

That is #DirectAction. There IS NO MORE direct action than connecting someone to a lawyer, helping them find a room to rent, or making them dinner when they're low on food.

Never think that the help YOU can provide is worth less. Help is help.
