The May Days: Stories of Courage and Resistance

A century and a half of rebellions, uprisings, daring escapes, and adventures celebrating May Day and our collective capacity for freedom and self-determination.

http://crimethinc.com/MayDayHistory

May Day is one of the days on which anarchists celebrate self-determination and self-realization. People have lit bonfires to mark the end of winter for thousands of years; it wasn’t until industrialization forcibly disconnected people from the land base that nourished them that May Day came to be observed as a labor holiday. At base, May Day isn’t about labor: it’s about abundance. It’s about excess, pleasure, freedom—the burgeoning source of life itself. As a millennia-old holy day honoring the return of spring, May Day directs our thoughts to nature—a wild and beautiful chaos that flows through us and nourishes us, which we can enjoy but never control. Our joyous acts of rebellion do not point to a world in which workers are paid a little better for their labor, but to the possibility that we could sweep away all the forms of oppression that stand between us and the tremendous potential of our lives.

CAN SOMEONE HELP US PLEASE? 😭🙏

Please help even by spreading the word! My cat Kuppa right here needs to go to the vet ASAP because of the ugly rash on her mouth. She’s not been eating since yesterday because of it and it’s making her real uncomfortable! Vet visit might cost around $150-$180 and I don’t have the means to be able to afford it right now because we’re really on a tight budget plus the next paycheck will be on the 25th of April :(( I can pay it back if ever, please 🙏 I feel like a horrible pet owner because I can’t even provide just a vet visit for Kuppa 😭😭🐈 please help, even sharing my post if you can’t help financially will definitely mean a lot!

For those who will send their love and support for Kuppa I have my paypal below,

Clips from the Oklahoma House floor concerning anti-trans legislation

Okay yall, I need you to listen up. Maureen Turner is our only trans voice in the Oklahoma house, and they have recently been censured for “harboring a fugitive” (letting the partner of a victim of police brutality come down from a panic attack in their office.) it’s thinly veiled bullshit to keep them from fighting the anti trans legislation happening right now.

They’re also the first Muslim representatives in the state, and are constantly receiving threats to their safety from hate mail.

If you can, please donate to their campaign. If you can’t, consider sending them a letter of support. Gods know they could use some positive mail.

Seriously, Oklahoma trans folks are going through a lot right now. Our access to healthcare and even our right to visibly exist in public is going to be taken away from us the moment session ends in May, if not sooner. My partner and I are one of many families that are preparing to flee. And Rep Turner is one of the only people fighting for us. So please, if you can, show trans Oklahomans some support but uplifting our only voice in the house.

white trans ppl from liberal suburbia in blue states will go on and on about how scary it is to be a trans person right now but the second they encounter a trans person from a red state they’ll be like “ummmmm why would you live in such an uncivilized place lmao maybe you shouldn’t have voted for republicans like if you don’t like how conservative it is then just leave” as if these states aren’t populated by black and brown people who face intense voter suppression and poor people who can’t just up and leave. not to mention the fact that all those articles y’all are sharing about the state of trans safety? those are in our states and we will be the ones who go down first. so instead of laughing at us dumb hicks from your liberal safe haven, consider instead shutting the fuck up and actually doing something to help us. because they’re coming for you next.

I live in a conservative state in the US. There are more liberal, safer states next to mine that I could move to. I’ve seen the map going around that shows which ones they are.

There’s no way I could move to any of them because the cost of living in those states is 2 - 3 times what it is here.

When I lived in North Idaho, I worked at a comic shop run by an older lesbian couple. They’d lived in that town since they were kids. They’re the bedrock of the queer community in that town. People would sometimes ask them why they didn’t move to a safer place.

Their answer was always the same, “If we did, who would be here to do what we do?”

Look, if you can move to live somewhere safer, I’m never going to say you shouldn’t. Your safety and well-being are important.

But before you go, remember that every time one of us leaves, there’s one fewer here to protect each other.

And like OP said, this isn’t going to end. They won’t be happy until they’ve destroyed us, and they will come after your liberal paradise. Our survival will depend, as it always has, on hanging together.

a red and blue info graphic reading "Urgent: the police have entered the forest today, March 27, in hopes of clearing out all defenders. They have staged heavy machinery close by, and a DKPD officer leaked plans of clearcutting to begin on Wednesday, March 29. We won't let them!"ALT

URGENT: A police raid on Atlanta’s forest gives us reason to believe that they’ll start clearing the trees some time this week. Please spread the news, even if you live nowhere near Atlanta — we need all eyes on us! We need widespread support to save the forest and stop cop city!

Now is a great time to learn about the movement to Stop Cop City, which will most directly impact BIPOC in Atlanta but will also have far-reaching impacts across the nation. This is a racial justice issue, an environmental justice issue, a queer & gender justice issue, a class issue, and on and on — if you care about anything, you’ll care about what’s happening in Atlanta’s forests right now.

Here’s one great starting point for learning about the movement; I’ll post further educational resources under the readmore.

It’s also a great time to donate either to the solidarity fund that helps bail out activists or to the “stop the swap” lawsuit to keep this destruction from happening.

Keep reading

March 24, 2023, at 2:07 p.m. PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Walter C. Cole, better known as the iconic drag queen who performed for decades as Darcelle XV, has died of natural causes in Portland, Oregon.

Cry because she’s gone. But please also happy cry because she made it to 92. I am so glad, in a sense, to be mourning a queer elder who actually got to be an elder. This is a success story as told by an entire, whole, complete human lifetime. Rest in peace, Darcelle. I can’t imagine the struggles you have seen, the oppression you have overcome, and the life experience you’re taking with you to the other side. We love you. And we are so glad you made it to 92.

The 23 people arrested in Atlanta who are now facing terrorism charges were NOT picked up from where the police vehicle was burned, as is implied by news media headlines. They were kidnapped from a nearby all-ages music festival. The police kettled children and one officer was heard threatening to murder a concert-goer.

ATL Community Press Collective, Stop Cop City and Defend Atlanta Forest are all reliable on-the-ground information aggregators you can search. You can donate to Atlanta Solidarity Fund (tho their website appears to be very busy atm) to help cover bail and legal costs for protestors and, apparently, random music festival attendees in Atlanta.

The more loosely and broadly they misapply the label terrorist to not just anyone who disobeys but anyone else unfortunate enough to be caught vaguely in their vicinity is going to gut the term of absolutely all meaning and stigma.

Yeah :/ stolen valor tbh.

Activists have been talking about this for the last 22 years, pointing out how the word ‘terrorist’ was politicized to justify Islamophobia and attacks on minorities, how ‘anti-terrorism’ laws were being increasingly used against activists in more and more sweeping ways. We’ve been raising the alarm about this for 22 years.

A lot of people ignored it because they thought the anti-terrorism laws would never be used against them personally. Because they were not muslim or arab. Because they were ‘non-violent’. Because they were stayed in the ‘safe’ part of the demo.

But the “first they came for the others, and I did not speak because it was not about me” thing never keeps you safe forever. In the end they will come for you.

Wild to see this on my dash.

The situation, as you can imagine, is fucked. Two huge areas in south/southeast Atlanta have been bought & there are plans to raze the forest. One to build MORE film studios for Blackhall Studios (think Venom, Jumanji), and the other – Cop City.

There is a massive plan to essentially make a fake-city for APD and other law enforcement agencies to train in, to practice their increased militarization. The plan is bigger than the NYPD training ground iirc.

The Cop City news caught a lot of citizens surprised, and after a lot of push back, Atlanta City Council was basically like “Okay, fine, here’s a day everyone can call in and comment”. I think it was something like 13 hours of calls, 65% disapproval of Cop City. And City Council approved anyways. They pulled the same stunt with the juvenile detention center in Decatur like 20 years earlier.

And I’m sure no one will be surprised to hear that this is in a predominantly black neighborhood in ATL. City Council would never dream of allowing forest to be destroyed & Cop City to be built in Buckhead or other whiter, wealthier areas of ATL (not that it should be built at all!!)

There’s a ton more information on their Twitter & their other social media in the linktree. Talk to your neighbors, call city council, provide aid to the forest defenders if you can.

They are cutting trees in the largest urban green space in the country for the largest pig training facility in the country.

This is still going on, and they recently killed a forest defender called Tortugita.

[ID: Images in the OP: photos of signs hanging from various places in a forest. The first reads “you are now leaving the USA.” The second reads “Zadlanta!” (the first A is the anarchist ‘A’; the N is the international squatter’s symbol). The third reads “land acknowledgement: the Atlanta forest is of the Muscogee Creek and Cherokee peoples, Indigenous caretakers, and Black descendants.” the third is written across the blade of a bulldozer and has text “defend the ATL forest” alongside an anarchist ‘A’ symbol. Another piece of heavy machinery (eikon EX33OLC) with “defend the ATL forest” spray-painted on it. A photo of a person dressed in black with black head wrappings and only their eyes visible. A mechanical/maintenance box with “fire to the machines,” “ACAB” and “FTP” spray-painted on it alongside anarchist ‘A’s. A huge sign suspended high in the trees reading “no forest no peace. #StopCopCity. #NoHollywoodDystopia. Defend ATL forest.” A damaged piece of heavy machinery with its tires flattened partly covered in black spray paint. Spray-painted writing on it reads “no cop city, no Blackhall.” A barricade constructed in the forest on which is written “1312”, “ACAB” and “fuck off.”

Images in the first reblog: Four people standing and squatting on top of a flatbed truck turned on its side. A sign suspended in the trees above them reads “fuck the police.” A barricade of tires and wire fencing in the forest. A piece of heavy machinery that has been set aflame. A group of people with their faces covered standing at an elevation compared to the camera. An upturned car, spraypainted black, next to a sign reading “fuck this world and its cops.” A person wearing red sunglasses and a keffiyeh with a rifle print. A person sitting in a platform suspended in a tree; a group of eight people in camouflage with their faces covered stand on the ground beneath them. A sign propped up in front of them reads “haha Lou, fuck you.” The last image is of a sign suspended in the trees that reads “forest defense is self-defense.” an antifascist action flag is suspended next to the sign.

The image in the third reblog is text reading: “A message from the tree sitters. We are here today to stop the development of a police militarization facility, where police would train in tactics of repression and violence against the citizens of Atlanta. We are here today to stop a beautiful forest from being destroyed, to stop countless animals and plants from being exterminated in this place. Two incredibly important topics are at stake here today. Climate change and police violence are two of the most pressing issues affecting our society today, and they will only worsen if this facility is built. We cannot stand by as we sacrifice humanity’s future for a Cop City.” the message is attributed to “Wish.” hashtags at the bottom read “defend the Atlanta forest,” “stop cop city,” and “no Hollywood dystopia.” end ID.]

these forest defenders are calling for solidarity actions against funders, insurers, and contractors. they’ve mapped some of the targets here, with more detail here, and collected a calendar of actions already in the works. these solidarity actions are widespread so check for one near you or plan one with a friend!

there’s also phone calls to make. plus, several people were arrested and denied bail on the absurd change of “domestic terrorism” - this account shares how you can write to them and advocate for them.

if you can make it to Atlanta, a mass mobilization is planned for March 4-11.
