Attack: this image from the Bristol Post was captioned “Bridewell police station under siege” but the only violence I see is by a policeman attacking a woman with a truncheon and a stick. What do you see?
It takes only one comment like this to reverse the narrative completely – and here it is, in two tweets:
Sara, Maria, Jelienne, Alberto, Danilo, Emanuele, Ermanno and Luca still held without bail. All charged ”collectively”with alleged murder attempt on cop.
WE WANT THEM FREE…NOW!!! A
Though only one person squirted the smouldering van, and the flames grew big ‘just long enough to get the press photos’ and died away in seconds, as clearly seen in the You Tube videos, leaving only ”superficial damage”.A demonstrator also appears to warn the driver before the fire was lit.. Police claim they are an organisation because they ‘had similar lighters’ on them.
The youngsters are also being charged with a whole string of serious riot offences. The arrests are seen as an attempt to halt the growing revolt over the jailing of rapper Pablo Hasel for his songs and avenge 7 nights of humiliation of the macho police by the huge demonstrations.
From Black Rose/Rosa Negra Anarchist Federation:
We are excited to present “Horizontalism: Anarchism, Power and the State” by Mark Bray which appears as a chapter in the collection Anarchism: A Conceptual Approach from Routledge.
In this piece Bray relates a range of global movements from mass neighbourhood assemblies in Argentina, to the squares movement in Europe and Occupy Wall Street to various political conceptions of power, movement building and electoral politics. He begins with drawing a distinction between horizontalism as a specific form of popular mobilization that has recently emerged and more broadly the practices of horizontal style organising.
From this he points out that while anarchism is horizontal in its approach to organising and movement building, horizontalism is much more fluid, “non-ideological,” and lends itself to decidedly non-horizontal directions of electoral organising – politics which anarchists have traditionally contrasted their politics in opposition.
The essay originally appears as “Horizontalism” in Anarchism: A Conceptual Approach edited by Benjamin Franks, Nathan Jun, and Leonard Williams. Bray is the author of Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook and Translating Anarchy: The Anarchism of Occupy Wall Street and a member of Black Rose/Rosa Negra Anarchist Federation.

The decades that have followed the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 have witnessed a historic resurgence of directly democratic, federalist politics among global social movements on a scale unheard of since the first decades of the twentieth century.

This article shows that the accusation of Genocide of the Uyghurs by China is totally false… There is no dip in the Uyghur population and Xinjiang is booming.
BUT IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. Because every day dozens of articles, reports, videos, from establishment journalists, politicians, think tanks and news outlets, take the Genocide as an established fact, guaranteed by President Biden.
All feeding from the poison trough of the US war machine.
Then they reproduce the lie millions or billions of times around the planet. .
Check it out for yourself!
Both President Joe Biden and his Secretary of State Anthony Blinken have endorsed former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s last-minute accusation of “genocide” against the Muslim Uyghur population in China’s Xinjiang province. But an investigation of published work by the researcher Pompeo relied on to level his genocide allegation reveals a pattern of data abuse and fraudulent assertions that substantially undermines the incendiary charge.

Berlin. We as Interkiezionale call on all solidary and freedom-loving people to bring the city into turmoil on and around March 25 against the eviction of the Kiezkneipe (neighbourhood bar) Meuterei.
Originally published by Kontra Polis.
The pub collective Meuterei has been creating a space for exchange, networking and solidarity in Reichenberger Straße for 10 years. Such places are increasingly being pushed out of this city. With the Syndikat and Liebig34, we had to say a painful goodbye to two autonomous spaces, and after the eviction attempt of Meuterei, many more attacks on left-wing projects will follow.
Berlin. The time has come. Goran Nenadic, the landlord of the Meuterei premises at Reichenberger 58, has filed the eviction notice.

It is as if the Syrian Arab Army were involved in a giant game of whack-a-mole. Each time it carries out a successful operation on one of its numerous battlefields, it gets punished elsewhere.
On March 16th, a convoy of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) elite 4th Division was ambushed in the countryside of Daraa. Despite heavy fire from the SAA, the gunmen were able to escape after killing 22 service members and injuring at least five others.
The situation in Daraa is quite complicated. In February, the SAA was preparing to launch a large-scale operation to arrest a group of wanted militants in western Daraa. However former rebel leaders expelled the group from the area and accepted a new reconciliation agreement. The operation was thus avoided, but there has been no cessation of hostilities.
The time may…
