Tinnitus Patches 🏴‍☠️<p>We´re going to cook vegan food for you again! This time to raise money for Atalanta Bail Fund, who do a lot to prevent the building of copcity. 🌳<br>Why this cause? Because Tortuguita got brutally murdered defending the forest in January 2023, and their birthday was on 23rd of April, the day after we are hosting this event. Stop Copcity is something that we really admire and gives us strengh for the future of forest defenders. 🌳<br>On the Menu:<br>- Vegan tomato soup<br>- Masala wraps (not gluten free, ask for options!)<br>- Chocolate pudding<br>Suggested donation is €5. <br>We hope to see you the 24th of April at ACU! 🌱<br>.<br>.<br>.<br><a href="https://todon.nl/tags/stopcopcity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>stopcopcity</span></a> <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/forestdefenders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>forestdefenders</span></a> <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/veganfood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>veganfood</span></a> <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/voku" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>voku</span></a> <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/veganactivist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>veganactivist</span></a> <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/earthliberationfront" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>earthliberationfront</span></a> <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/earthfirst" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>earthfirst</span></a> <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/veganarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>veganarchy</span></a> <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/ecoanarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ecoanarchism</span></a> <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/foodnotbombs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>foodnotbombs</span></a> <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/tortuguita" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tortuguita</span></a> <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>environment</span></a> <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/stopkillingus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>stopkillingus</span></a> <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/upwithtreesdownwithcapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>upwithtreesdownwithcapitalism</span></a></p>

This year, a call circulated for people to organize festivals of resistance in their communities on the weekend of January 17-19. Here, we share reports from some of these events.</p><p>"The situation is grim. Despite acknowledging that Trump represents <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fascism</span></a>, Democrats have nonetheless welcomed the arrival of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/despotism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>despotism</span></a>, dutifully voting for new legislation targeting immigrants and doing their best to keep protesters out of the streets. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TechCEOs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TechCEOs</span></a> have followed suit, pouring millions of dollars into his inauguration and crowding into St. John’s Church to worship at the feet of their new master.</p><p>"<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ElonMusk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ElonMusk</span></a> made the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Nazi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nazi</span></a> salute twice from the podium during the inauguration, leaving only just enough plausible deniability to confuse the most naïve. Musk has posted fascist dog whistles on Twitter before, even before he purchased it in order to reintroduce Nazis to the platform, ban anarchists, and promote the fascist agenda.</p><p>"From this point forward, nothing should surprise us. The incoming government has made it clear that they intend to inflict as much harm as possible on those who are vulnerable while concentrating as much money as possible in the hands of the ultra-rich. These are the central points of their agenda. Attempting to spread information about their misdeeds in order to provoke popular outrage is a waste of time. From here out, all that matters is developing the capacity to defend each other from their attacks while preparing to go on the offensive as soon as the opportunity presents itself.</p><p>"The faces of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/oligarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>oligarchy</span></a> looked craven and servile as they lined up at the inauguration to toady to Trump. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Capitalism</span></a> concentrates power in the hands of the most rapacious, but they can only hold on to power by being completely subservient to its demands.</p><p>"Fortunately, not everyone is taking this sitting down. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anarchists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Anarchists</span></a> around the country called for 'festivals of resistance' the weekend before the inauguration in order to bring communities together prepare to resist.

abolitionmedia<p></p> <p>During the week of 2/18, at a precinct in the heart of Brooklyn, tires were punctured on 10 NYPD vehicles and two NYPD vehicles were vandalized in honor Tortuguita. Below is a selection from the communique:</p><p>“With caution and courage, they left the scene quickly, leaving behind the sound of escaping air and blood red lettering on the side of two NYPD buses reading;</p><p>“For Tort”</p><p>10 NYPD vehicles were left with punctured tires.</p><p>As these vessels are primarily used to cage and transport prisoners, protestors, and those who live in friction with genocide and empire, it is clear that these vehicles needed to be taken out. But there are many more… Stay sharp, fellow beings of the forest! Our grief and rage are hard and heavy, but there are openings where we can hold it as a stone to sharpen the claws we have.</p><p>Viva viva Tortuguita!”</p><p><em>Submitted Anonymously Over Email</em></p><p><em>Full communique: <a href="https://scenes.noblogs.org/post/2024/02/28/tires-punctured-on-10-nypd-vehicles-and-2-nypd-buses-vandalized-at-brooklyn-precinct-in-tortuguitas-honor/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Scenes from the Atlanta Forest</a></em></p><p><em>Note: photo not associated with action.</em></p> <p><a href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/post/2024/03/01/tires-punctured-on-10-nypd-vehicles-and-2-nypd-buses-vandalized-at-brooklyn-precinct-in-tortuguitas-honor/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/post/2024/03/01/tires-punctured-on-10-nypd-vehicles-and-2-nypd-buses-vandalized-at-brooklyn-precinct-in-tortuguitas-honor/</a></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/post/tag/brooklyn/" target="_blank">#brooklyn</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/post/tag/direct-action/" target="_blank">#DirectAction</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/post/tag/north-america/" target="_blank">#northAmerica</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/post/tag/nypd/" target="_blank">#NYPD</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/post/tag/tortuguita/" target="_blank">#Tortuguita</a></p>
