This is very much precedented.

Every UK government has been pushing more and more authoritarian measures.

Including treating anarchist Toby Shone as a terrorist prisoner despite all possible terrorism charges against him being dropped (he was convicted for having drugs).

This is what Bolivia's highways look like at the moment.

Each town & village blocks their stretch, and the union members in each community take turns at the barricades. This is part of the general strike against neoliberalism. Now entering week 3.

In the UK we're constantly told that migrants want to 'sponge' off of us because of our 'soft touch' or because they are 'lazy'.

And yet Immigration Compliance and Enforcement (ICE) target *work places* in raids. Often with no intel other than non-white people working there.

the wildfires this summer are going to be nuts

The Wobblies were doing detournement long before the Situationists when they wrote revolutionary songs to hymn tunes to help battle the Salvation Army, and a lot better imo. A lot of "detournement" reminds me of Banksy art.

Anarchist Toby Shone was treated as a terrorist prisoner in 2020 despite having all terrorism related charges dropped

High security, counter terrorism officers checking his mail, intelligence agencies controlling his parole

He warned this would be the new normal for activists

In the UK, you can now be jailed as a terrorist, despite not committing a terror offence, not being charged with a terror offence, and not being convicted of a terror offence. Even worse, the jury can't be told that you'll be sentenced as a terrorist for your non-terror offence.

The fact that animal life on Earth has been reduced by 70% in the last 50 years isn’t sickening enough people.

Labour promise to move migrants from hotels to camps, reform running on building even more camps, and where, tories aiming for an in-between amount of camps.

We need stronger anti raids groups, better anti racist outreach, and networks of mutual aid, and we need them yesterday.

#OtD 7 May 1912 the first general strike for waiters and hotel workers in New York City began when 150 @IWW workers walked out for better pay, a day off and abolition of tips. Lasting until late June, the strike won concessions https://t.co/PKYbWpQLBG

at this point i am begging you to organize. formally, informally, i do not care. you need to find something and consistently show up. you need to push yourself out of your comfort zone into unfamiliar situations, and meet new people. this takes effort, it won't fall into your lap

[Working Class History @wrkclasshistory]

#OtD 1 May 1886 300-500k workers went on strike and rallies were held across the US, with the cry: "Eight-hour day with no cut in pay." The strike led to the Chicago Haymarket Affair and the start of May Day itself. More in this great book: https://t.co/FNO4VPJBgO

[𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙜𝙖𝙗𝙚🏴 @g_abe2]

happy mayday friends! remember the martyrs. go out there and make connections, raise some hell, put some fear in the heart of leviathan. show them we won't be cowed by their brutality❤️‍🔥

[NLH @NLH2224]

Happy may day!! And remember that it was ANARCHISTS who are responsible for it 😊.

[Working Class History @wrkclasshistory]

Today, May 1, is International Workers' Day! It commemorates the sentencing to death of eight anarchist workers in Chicago who were framed for throwing a bomb at police who attacked a strike demonstration in May 1886 https://t.co/iCVvyOzAfP
