Breaking the Fourth Wall: Revolt in the St. Louis Jail On Repression, Representation, and Revolt https://cwc.im/StLouisJail An anarchist in St. Louis reflects on the meaning of the revolt of February 6 in the context of efforts to manage what people imagine to be the interests of prisoners.

Long ago, in another century, inspired by the joy we discovered in our adventures together, we dreamed that a revolutionary movement could extend what is best about romantic love to all relations. We published a manifesto about this in the first issue of Harbinger, an early CrimethInc. paper. https://crimethinc.com/fallinlove Today, ten thousand tragedies later, this still strikes us as a worthy vision. Love sans frontières.

A year ago this evening, after a life of adventures and polemics, longtime anarchist Aragorn! passed away. Among other things, Aragorn! distinguished himself by maintaining an array of infrastructure projects providing information to thousands of people across North America and the world. Some of the projects that survive him include the Anarchist Library, Little Black Cart distribution, and a constellation of online resources under the Anarchy Planet umbrella, to name just a few. His publishing efforts helped to keep Indigenous, ecological, and post-left perspectives in circulation. It is impossible to understand the contemporary US anarchist movement without recognizing his contributions. For a full review of Aragorn!’s life and activities, you can read our eulogy for him: https://cwc.im/Aragorn We've also made a zine version of an interview with him and published a poem about him: https://cwc.im/RememberingAragorn

A German group is calling on Pfizer employees to leak the recipe for the #COVID19 vaccine so people in the developing world won't have to wait years for it: https://biontech-leaks.org People always ask us how it would be possible to treat the pandemic without corporations and governments. Actually—it turns out corporations and governments are the chief obstacle! Corporate intellectual property rights and profit-driven economies have been implicated in mass deaths for centuries. The idea that science and medicine are inseparable from these is a capitalist myth. We need new models for research and health care. A better world is possible. 🏴
