"It is not the proper role of revolutionaries to wait for revolts to fall from heaven. Rather, it is our role to help precipitate and escalate them, bringing them to the heights of their potential, learning what we only can by taking our ideas to their logical conclusions." (Radar 3, "Wait and See")
Trumps round-table described the movement to Stop Cop City as a domestic terrorist organization. We heard this before, from local Democrats. Today, we echo calls to unite against autocracy. Wherever 5 or 10 ppl come together, let fear subside and tactics begin. crimethinc.com/2025/10/09/n...

Simply marching in the streets once every few months will not stop fascism. We have to draw people into concrete organizing and activity. No one else is going to do this for us.
Whether there are two of you or two hundred of you, this guide goes over what you can do.

⚠️ Jamie defeated her "Domestic Terrorism" charges! Dekalb Co court acknowledged the AG's office deliberately delayed the case. Soon, the RICO will collapse. Jamie's decision to push against the charges serve as an inspiration to us all. Were we all so courageous, nothing could stop us.
ICE is training dogs for raids at ATL public schools
the president deployed the marines to LA in order to clampdown on grassroots resistance to ICE. two days ago, they left--after more than a month on the ground. authoritarian clampdown aside, this was also a trial run for a coup d'etat.
This morning, dozens of US Customs and Border Enforcement vehicles assembled at Carver High School in southeast Atlanta. School administration says that the federal officers are training Atlanta police K9 units at the low income school. Cop City has been open just a few months.
Repression is not something that comes "after" the movement. It is not a custodial task. Building police centers and concentration camps, rounding up workers on a farm, are also all acts of repression that we resist. They fight us, we fight them back. It's as simple as that.

A large number of sophisticated discourses have convinced some people that the concept of solidarity does not serve them, that the fight between federal agents and undocumented people is not a universal struggle effecting the entire society. This is "divide + conquer" rebranded.
The movement against deportations is not destructive or disruptive enough, actually. Every single day, federal authorities are ruining peoples lives and destroying families. This cannot be resolved by the Democratic party, who helped to build these policies and infrastructures.
This is the ICE facility in Portland that was the site of an Occupy ICE encampment in 2018. People are camped there again tonight.
Whether or not this takes off, the best way to support those defending their communities in LA is to find a pressure point where you are and act.

No matter how brave, how righteous, the people of Los Angeles are, they can't defeat ICE all by themselves. This is the first real resistance of the new era, a resistance we tried to catalyze in the fight against Cop City. It is right to rise up and to rebel against police, borders, and deportation.
61 people facing RICO charges for their alleged involvement in stop Cop City appear in court today. They have been forced to come to Atlanta for the new judge. A crowd will rally outside the courthouse to support the accused. Call Georgia AG Chris Carr, demand he drop the charges: 4046578733
They built it. What next?
Rest in peace Cooper Schoenke (19).
He was killed in a high speed chase initiated against another motorist by the Georgia State Patrol.
The chase not only took place inside of City of Atlanta limits.
It took place in Little 5 Points.
Georgia State Patrol out of Atlanta!
This essay provides, among other things, a close look at the April 2024 Gaza solidarity protests at Emory University. Almost a year later, this may be the most extensive overview of those events published from the vantage point of the participants.
“The arrival of the second Trump era has vindicated the decision to focus on resisting police militarization. Every repressive policy that Trump decrees will be imposed by police and other state mercenaries. The opposition that emerged in Atlanta sets the template...”

🚨 OIG refers 8 counts of fraud and corruption to DOJ. ATL Mayor Dickens awarded contracts to campaign donors and used charitable funds for unjustifiable reasons. We have been saying this for 4 years. www.ajc.com/news/atlanta...
the entire left is about to meet the police we have come to know so well.
trumps dystopia armed with the democrats' surveillance regime.
trumps storm troopers are going to train at cop cities built by democratic municipal governments. we cannot get swept up in their partisan drama. we have to pursue our own agenda: finish reconstruction, destroy the racial state, abolish the police.
in Atlanta, a new collective in the movement to @stopcopcity.bsky.social is hosting a campaign-launch event this saturday. specifically, this event aims to orient the community around movement defense against the RICO cases and other felonies, now in the Trump era.
we both know
This is a blitzkrieg. It's not going to stop automatically.
We need to focus on our agency, not our oppression.
BREAKING:
After several hours of public comment in Eureka, CA, city council has voted AGAINST implementation of draconian "FLOCK Safety" cameras in the Humboldt County town. FLOCK has been a major asset for the Atlanta Police Foundation/Mayor Dickens' dystopian Cop City project.
Looking back, almost all of this seems undeniably true.
Atlanta residents have been living in a "post-democratic" civil dictatorship for 3 years. A protester killed, canvassers charged with terrorism, a bail fund charged with RICO, a referendum process suppressed, house raids, surveillance. All under the Democrats. They also showed us how to fight back.
They are building Cop Cities everywhere. The facility in Atlanta did not become a flashpoint because it is unique.
It became one because people are fighting against it.
