On the evening of Saturday, November 19, chainsaw-wielding militants took action to close down the Atlanta Police Department’s shooting range inside the Weelaunee Forest, where APD trains weekly to kill and maim the people of Atlanta. A few small trees were selectively felled in order to block the access road to the shooting range. One of the felled trees hit a power line which provides electricity to the shooting range, leading to a power surge which blew a transformer and disabled the cameras, which were then destroyed with fire and hammers. The power line only services the shooting range. No residential areas were impacted by the outage.#DirectAction #Atlanta #ACAB #CommunityServicehttps://scenes.noblogs.org/post/2022/11/23/concerning-the-closure-of-apds-firing-range/

@Raspberry_Pi @TobyRobertsPi@mastodon.social Sickening. Much rather see how people use a tiny computer to let people free from cages rather than #Copaganda to normalize and integrate those that lock people up in bondage. People don't just gloss over that fact. Your 'post cop' life is great because of the terror you inflicted upon others. It's institutional, there are no good cops, there can't be.

if we can't hold politicians accountable, can we hold voters accountable? Like really, y'all need to stop producing america. It's sickening, maddening even these democrats, republicans... this one party system.America doesn't have a left wing with electoral representation. It's probably better to just be honest about that. It's okay to not be represented and instead take direct action.The trans youth, people seeking abortion, healthcare, and millions in jail face the reality of policy everyday.America needs anarchy, like the scary kind. Because clearly the spectacle got such a grip, that reality hasn't sunk in.🥽👹 :molotov: :knife_lgbt: :heart_transgender: :riot: :acab2: be proud of your life choices, be in commune with others.

@VPS_Reports We can call it American Democracy too, it's always had copious amounts of blood on its hands.

@mjg59 Thank you for writing this. There's more to trust than just keeping a secret. Signal, formerly TextSecure, was born out of the rustbelt anarchist culture in late 2008. We were exploring digital ways to communicate internally amongst one another. In Sep. of '08 the RNC protests happened. Moxie was hip to twttr (the sms version of twitter) and we thought it could be useful to share information amongst our networks. Twttr was useful, but security was a concern, so culturally people were skeptical.The next month, back in the 'burgh in a dusty Steelers bar, I just got the HTC Dream / Android G1. Moxie and I met up to explore it and talk about TextSecure, (SexSecure) as the joke evolved into. The activists opposed to the '08 RNC experienced a huge wave of repression. We knew there was a clear need for anarchists to secure their communication, the Super Bowl was coming up and Steelers were gonna win, and with that, the riot, as was manifested in '06.I share this story because the the politic and culture Signal came from was anarchist. What birthed Signal was Moxie and Stuart, yes, and they were very much in our world. In September '09 the G20 was coming to PGH and again, a need for secure communication. Naturally, TextSecure was part of that, it came from our world, had a material benefit, and we excitedly did guerrilla marketing for it. Twttr turned to Twitter and had its own trajectory but my assumption is Jack and Moxie met up in 2011 and the rest is history..Anarchists kept using Signal, and its user base started to grow, as did successive social movements throughout the states and beyond.Fast forward to Elon run Twitter of 2022, I asked Moxie why not develop encrypted DMs for Mastodon? This seemed like a natural progression given our intersecting histories, Kolektiva was a bigger instance at the time, the momentum was right. He certainly got the brains to do it... The response was both understandable and disappointing, basically it's too hard to do on distributed systems.Now, the word was Elon asked him to do encrypted DM's for Twitter, and at the time - Nov, 2022 - there was a big political and culture war between Fascism and Anarchism regarding Twitter and the Fediverse. Still is, but same old players are attacking the fediverse, Jack w/ bluesky. I do not know what direction M. personally took. Libsignal is an open protocol. Time will tell.This whole big ass story was told to illustrate context is also important. Your write up on dreamwidth was great at speaking to the technical concerns with poorly implemented products. If Twitter has encrypted DM's, then it's a win for the power dynamics that own the castle. In this case Elon, maybe next week Jack. It may be a win for its users, however, what ones? Signal was a win for anarchists and has enabled us to laugh/cry about America, organize against fascists, and stay somewhat personally connected during the ongoing social war. Our influence on its initial adoption can't be understated.Personally, I don't have the bandwidth (or back) to Mission Impossible into Twitter to see how things run there, but trust? The only people I trust are the rebels in SF who have it in them to take that building down.I think it's apparent that who we trust, with what and how are important questions for everyone. E2EE says: me and you bb, to the moon! But if your handler is some libertarian Jack off, or a fascist, then wtf are ya even doing? We, anarchists, always pose the question of autonomy and endeavor to liberate/elevate/empower ones own greatest ability (but not at the expense of others). The Jacks and Elons hold no such belief, just power over others, not power from below.E2EE encryption is great, been using PGP since the early 00's. Hell, even Zimmermann, PGP creator, was an anti-nuclear peace activist. Context. What world are we trying to build and with whom?/end rant

Who am I?(What shouldn't be said, some redactions, tldr - jfc this is too long.)I am a skateboarding activist turned computer nerd that loves people. I hold a deeply heartfelt appreciation for the criminally illegal Destructive Arts, so naturally anarchism ftw 🏴My small town pushed me away, so I world-travel. I am grateful for my partners who, along my journey have helped to fill in the gaps in my thinking.I'm a softy, tender-hearted vegan animal lover who suffers from hyper violent tendencies towards fascists. I came into this world as the youngest son of a working-class family. Romantic love didn't work out for the parentals too well.I died in a skateboarding accident and was resurrected without white Jesus, long term memory issues hurt me every day.To the best I can I burn my whiteness off with a permanent black-bloc suit.🔥I speak in metaphors, always with a dual meaning both honest and private; sometimes I phoenix into ancestral warriors who amass all races and genders to fight the white-devil.I chose a traitorous path to negate the identities I have not chosen but apply. I remain aware this skin doesn't actually come off, that most of the time I enjoy some privilege and endeavour to abolish it, for I've chosen against whiteness consistently. I understand why I fear the white-devil, more than anyone else, so sometimes I am him, and most of the time I got... DCSC 🛑🥽😷I listen to 90s pop-punk, hip-hop and R&B. I listen to soothe my soul and heal my PTSD. I listen to arouse my inner sexual beast.I was sXe turned 420-lite.I am a hopeless romantic who married dream girl💕, still bring her🌹 and wash dishes because she 🕯️☝️ mi vida and I suavecito talk in our own special love language, srry y'all internetz don't get to hear it. 💋I am a godless heathen who is still secretly curious about all gods, all masters.I riot regularly to remind myself that I still got it, and because this country I was born in offers no peace, not least of which is my mental state, but most of which is it's insane violence towards black, brown, indigenous, queer people and every and all combination of that. Rioting is one of the few places I experience community.Intersections of pain and empathy have brought me in commune with joy seekers, mystery makers I die to live for.Never a good aresol artist, but I have helped to bridge graffiti-writers and anarchists through solidarity actions and militant defense of the art, across desperate times and places.I am a comedian who has made websites that aren't funny, mostly serious-ass political ones like ---, ---, kolektiva, couple more, can't say shh!I werk for the movement, y'all made me a hundredaire. Never sold out to Soros, all though this bio is supposed to be about me, but see that's how that shit happens, billionaires and cops inside your head. hence the rioting.These things always gotta end with I like long walks on the beach👙, but for real the beach shit is my best friends love, 🏄🏿♂️, mine is them city steps boii, I can take long walks on some busted-ass streets, @skreets you might say 🫰Shout outs to 90s grunge, Adam Sandler, Mariah Carey, Carlo Giuliani, Kurdish people everywhere - but especially the children of Diyarbakır RIP, the Zapatistas, PLO, Indymedia, Linux, exterior gateway protocols like BGP and open decentralized social networking protocols like Activity Pub, Queensbridge, Wu and the fucking dungeons of rap, NYC - your fashion stay 💯 , Αθήνα & those tear gas filled days and nights - don't give up hope, YayArea - fuck them yuppies! You politically made me. LA - your 🌮 📽️ are 🤯, ty 4💃🏽c u soon. To all the martyrs and friends who have passed away along the way, your love is eternal, your memory not forgotten, your story continues.PS: aight fine, fuck it, ke$ha too. Never said the whiteness fully comes off, just said I burn it.
