Anarchists are in the corporate news again—as usual, being vilified for expressing solidarity with the oppressed and demonstrating the effectiveness of direct action.

This could be a good time to distribute material explaining the values and proposals at the core of anarchism. 🏴

We'll gladly send you copies of our outreach pamphlet, To Change Everything, for the costs of printing and shipping alone.

"This is about stopping the genocide in Palestine."

The text of a flier distributed at Columbia University, along with a pdf so you can print and distribute as well:

The flier sets forth ten points about the significance of the fight against the genocide in Gaza in the context of rising authoritarianism around the world.

Police around the country are beginning to crack down with brutal violence on students demonstrating in solidarity with Gaza. This video from Chile shows how to extinguish tear gas canisters quickly, safely, and easily. Please circulate it widely!

To deal with tear gas canisters, take a water jug with a wide mouth, pick up the canister with protective gloves, drop it in the jug, and shake the jug while covering the top with your hand just enough that the gas doesn't get out.

It can help to put a little baking soda, dish soap, and/or vegetable oil in the jug of water—3 tablespoons of each to 1 liter of water.

Don't seal the bottle. You don't want it to explode.

Today, as an act of protest against the genocide unfolding in Gaza,

"Protesters shut down all Interstate 80 traffic heading to San Francisco during the Thursday morning commute. The protesters stopped their cars on the bridge, east of Treasure Island Road, and threw their keys into the Bay before chaining themselves together and to the bridge, according to California Highway Patrol."
-KRON4

The fact that they threw their keys into the Bay is inspiring. If we want to interrupt the perpetual violence of this society, we have to break with our own roles within it.
