Today in Atlanta, City Council has to vote once again to endorse the millions of dollars that will be channeled to the police and their allies through the Cop City project. Hundreds of people lined up at City Hall to speak against the police training facility. The authorities cut off the signup process after the first 300 applicants, attempting to silence opposition as they have throughout this process. People are chanting "Stop Cop City!", "Let us speak!", and "Viva viva Tortuguita!" in memory of the forest defender police murdered in January.

As everyone watches to see what will happen in the Turkish elections today, we remember the Gezi Park Uprising, ten years ago this month. Turkey deserves better than the autocrat Erdoğan! Elections alone will not suffice to win the freedom we all long for. Solidarity to all those in struggle. https://crimethinc.com/Gezi2013

Here we see Twitter eagerly making itself the accomplice of autocracy. Read about the rise of Turkish fascism and the government of Erdoğan: https://crimethinc.com/2019/11/12/the-roots-of-turkish-fascism-and-the-threat-it-poses

Don't let the news about Title 42 and the rhetoric about "waves of migrants" confuse you: the largest demographic that is impacted by US border policy is comprised of longtime residents of the United States. Well over 10 million undocumented people live in the United States. Many of them have lived here for decades. Lacking legal rights, they are especially vulnerable to exploitation and oppression. Solidarity with workers means solidarity with the undocumented. Solidarity with your neighbors means solidarity with the undocumented. This is why we continue to call for the abolition of borders. To that end, we've reprinted another 100,000 copies of our classic "Immigrants Welcome" sticker. Please order these and display them in your community! https://store.crimethinc.com/products/immigrants-welcome

We have added two appendices to our memorial for Dmitry Petrov, the anarchist partisan killed fighting in Ukraine: a translation of a statement about him from the Anarcho-Communist Combat Organization (largely focusing on his youth), and a translation of a delightful punk song written about the sort of clandestine actions he used to carry out as a young person in Russia—"Black Blog Fighter" by Electric Partisans. https://crimethinc.com/2023/05/03/in-memory-of-dmitry-petrov-an-incomplete-biography-and-translation-of-his-work#appendix-ii-dima-ecologs-partisan-path

As we do every May, we urge you—we dare you—to somehow track down a copy of this year's edition of Ron Sakolsky's anarcho-surrealist zine, The Oystercatcher. This issue includes an interview with Ben Morea of Up Against the Wall Motherfucker, a narrative from Weelaunee Forest in Atlanta, a historical text about the intersections between the first generation of French surrealists and the anarchists of their time, a book review of The History of Ignored Surrealism, and more. "Surrealism is the bullet in the chamber of love. Surrealism is the pincushion of desire. Surrealism is the daybreak of the Marvelous."

Florida Republicans believe neither in freedom, nor small government, nor the sanctity of the family. Senate Bill 254 legalizes the kidnapping of trans children from their families. "Not only will this subject numerous transgender kids to the hell of conversion therapy, but it will allow the state to threaten to terminate political opponents' custody rights over their cisgender kids unless they immediately bend the knee and fall silent, as SB254 classifies the *allegation* that kids may be given gender-affirming care as an "emergency" in and of itself and does not force plaintiffs to provide any evidence whatsoever that said kids are actually transgender before seizing them." Their goal is not just to terrorize young trans people, but to take advantage of transphobia as a means to achieve totalitarian control. In the long run, this threatens everyone, not just young trans people and their families. crimethinc.com/GenderSelfDetermination We have to stop them by any means necessary. 🏴 :anarchoheart2:

Police in Paris are inflicting so much violence that they're even injuring themselves with friendly fire, as shown in this video from Jules Ravel, edited by Action Antifouchiste.

Since March 16, French police equipped with legal impunity and thousands of euros worth of protective gear paid for by taxpayers have blinded or otherwise permanently maimed dozens of people, putting two in comas. In this footage from Place de la Nation in Paris today, demonstrators show how to keep police at a distance in order to limit the amount of harm they can inflict on the population at large. cwc.im/FranceinFlames
