These courageous defenders have stopped destruction for the day. Three people attached themselves to logging machinery, with another courageous defender in a tree-sit, high in a giant eucalypt. #politas

Protests erupt across Zimbabwe as demonstrators call for President Emmerson Mnangagwa to step down.

The protests are fueled by widespread frustration over the country’s economic challenges, political repression, and ongoing governance issues.

Louise became an important French anarchist in the late 1880’s. Her use of a black flag at a demonstration in Paris in March 1883 was the earliest known instance of what would become known as the anarchy black flag.

This Women’s History Month, we remember Louise Michel, one of the leaders of the Paris Commune of 1871. Michel, a teacher by trade, famously wrote in her memoirs: “The role of schoolteachers...is to give people the intellectual means to rebel.”

A look at protests happening around the world.

[Hüseyin Dogru (Back-Up) @redstreamnet]

Anger is boiling over in Indonesia as students and activists refuse to back down. On Monday, clashes erupted in Surabaya, where around 1,000 demonstrators dressed in black confronted police with rocks and Molotov cocktails. The protest was part of a growing nationwide movement against a new law expanding the military’s role in civilian government. After days of harsh police crackdowns that left many injured, tensions have escalated on both sides. Protesters held signs like “Reject the Military Law” and “Capitalism is incompatible with Gen-Z.”

Meanwhile, threats against critical media have intensified. Tempo magazine, known for its reporting on President Prabowo, received a box of decapitated rats and an animal’s head at its Jakarta office. Activists warn these acts are part of a broader attempt to silence dissent—on the streets and in the press.

Paticular legalities may not necessarily be deal breakers or barriers for some activists, but all activists should make informed decisions. Make sure you know the legal risks associated with your action(s).

[The Direct Action Movement @DAM_Crew_Aus]

Did you know that stickering or chalking may be considered a crime under graffiti Acts and other legislation? This depends on a number of factors including where you live.
If you’re curious about legalities of potential actions, check out the DAM site.

With short news cycles it's easy to forget the constant scandals of logging in Vic, so we're counting down the top 5, starting with VicForests' $54 million loss last year!
