Memories of Aaron Bushnell https://crimethinc.com/AaronMemories On February 25, Aaron Bushnell set himself on fire at the gate of the Israeli embassy in Washington, DC as an act of protest against the ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. Hostile critics have attempted to shrug off Aaron’s action as the consequence of mental illness. On the contrary, Aaron’s choice was a political action arising from his deeply held anarchist convictions. In this collection, we share Aaron’s own summary of his politics, followed by testimony from three of Aaron’s close friends. "I am an anarchist, which means I believe in the abolition of all hierarchical power structures, especially capitalism and the state… I view the work we do as fighting back in the class war which the capitalist class wages on the rest of humanity. This also informs the way in which I want to organize, as I believe that any hierarchical power structure is bound to reproduce class dynamics and oppression." -Aaron Bushnell

On the final day of the #StopCopCity summit in Arizona, multiple protesters locked down in front of the suburban mansion of a Nationwide Insurance executive to pressure Nationwide to stop supporting police militarization. Across the country in New York City, 200 people marched to the joint offices of AXA XL and Nationwide Insurance, both of which profit from the ongoing genocide in Gaza as well as their ties to the Atlanta police foundation and Cop City. Over 100 protesters stormed to the building, disrupting business before departing. Footage of the action in NYC by Jonathan Rampagoa.

Майданский дневник Дмитрия Петрова на русском языке Ранее мы сообщали, что CrimethInc. опубликовали заметки нашего погибшего товарища, одного из основателей БОАК Дмитрия Петрова, написанные в ходе народного восстания на Майдане. Первая публикация была на английском, теперь же эти замечательные воспоминания доступны и на русском языке. Обязательно прочитайте дневник Димы! Героизм простых повстанцев, но при этом и честное критическое отношение к масштабному социальному процессу, в котором анархические идеи и практики не получили достаточного для переустройства общества распространения — всё это в тексте нашего товарища. Мы сердечно благодарим CrimethInc. за их вклад в передачу опыта Димы и памяти о нём новым поколениям революционеров! “Внутри каждого человека идёт борьба — с одной стороны люди здесь вышли сопротивляться принуждению власть предержащих, с другой — груз предрассудков, привычка к иерархическим социальным отношением и вертикальной структуре общества — по-прежнему очень сильны и тянут сопротивление вниз.” Дмитрий Петров, Майданский дневник

Lutter pour l’auto- détermination du genre Face aux attaques contre les personnes trans https://crimethinc.com/zines/lutter-pour-lauto-determination-du-genre « Même si l’État décidait demain matin d’annuler toutes les politiques anti-trans et de nous donner à tous·tes les soins dont nous avons besoin, nous serions toujours en danger, car notre sécurité continuerait de dépendre des caprices fluctuants de celleux qui détiennent le pouvoir d’État. » #Français

“This Is What Our Ruling Class Has Decided Will Be Normal” On Aaron Bushnell’s Action in Solidarity with Gaza https://crimethinc.com/AaronBushnell On February 25, we received an email from a person who signed himself Aaron Bushnell, announcing that he was going to engage in an act of protest against the genocide of the Palestinian people. Shortly afterwards, Aaron set himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington, DC. All afternoon, while other journalists were breaking the news, we discussed how we should speak about this. Some subjects are too complex to address in a hasty social media post. Here, we share some of our thoughts about tragedy, urgency, and sacrifice.

Tonight, demonstrators marched through Tucson, Arizona in solidarity with the movement to #StopCopCity. Windows were broken at PNC Bank, which funds the Mountain Valley Pipeline, and Wells Fargo. A Wells Fargo executive is on the board of the Atlanta Police Foundation, the organization that is pushing for the city of Atlanta to channel untold millions of dollars into the construction of a wildly unpopular police militarization facility. https://crimethinc.com/copcities

Today marks two years since Russia initiated the full-scale military invasion of Ukraine. https://crimethinc.com/AntiwarRussia2022 The invasion would never have been possible if Putin’s regime had not spent the past decade crushing every social movement in Russia—using torture to extract false confessions from arrestees and imprisoning or assassinating countless people. But this is not limited to Russia alone. Everywhere on earth, governments are relying on more and more repressive and invasive policing to control restless populations. The war in Ukraine is part of a story that is familiar in Syria, Yemen, Ethiopia, Myanmar, Sudan, Palestine, and elsewhere. It represents the same strategy that governments around the world are employing within their territories, expanded to the scale of geopolitics: the recourse to brute force to suppress resistance and extend control. Wherever we fight against state repression, we are fighting against a future of war. In this picture, anarchists march today in Vilnius.

As people gather in Arizona this weekend for the Nationwide Summit to Stop Cop City, we offer a zine version of the latest chapter in our ongoing history of the movement, "Don’t Stop: Continuing the Fight against Cop City": https://crimethinc.com/zines/dont-stop-continuing-the-fight-against-cop-city Print and distribute at will!

Flaco, a Eurasian eagle-owl, was liberated from a tiny cage in the Central Park Zoo in New York City by a courageous act of anonymous animal liberation on February 2, 2023. He became a symbol of freedom for countless New Yorkers. Flaco passed away this week after a year of freedom. We mourn his death—just one of countless creatures killed by a metropolitan environment that is hostile to life. The Wildlife Conservation Society issued a statement saying "The vandal who damaged Flaco’s exhibit... is ultimately responsible for his death” and calling for the New York Police Department to make arrests. Maybe they should change their name to the Wildlife Incarceration Society. The problem is not those who liberate animals from cages. The problem is that today's urban environments are so destructive to all forms of life. We need human and animal liberation on a much larger scale. Until every cage is empty. 🏴🦉
