Geography and environmental studies researcher Hannah Kass is worried about her career prospects after she graduates from her Ph.D. program.</p><p>"The three are among 61 defendants accused by Republican Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr of participating in a yearslong racketeering conspiracy to halt the construction of a police and firefighter training facility just outside Atlanta that critics pejoratively call 'Cop City.'</p><p>"Their cases are at a standstill, 20 months after being indicted under Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations law, or RICO, which is likely the largest criminal racketeering case ever filed against protesters in U.S. history, experts say.</p><p>"Trial for five of the defendants was supposed to start last year but got bogged down in procedural issues. The judge overseeing the case then moved to another court.

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.

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.

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.
