I appreciated Tim Pool's livestreaming during Occupy, but this sort of "Nazis and the people who fight Nazis are equally bad" centrist schtick seems to characterize his recent work. Fortunately there is an even better alternative in the likes of Unicorn Riot http://www.unicornriot.ninja
I just discovered this 2015 Westword article about the criminalization of homelessness by artist Lauri Lynnxe Murphy which includes a link to one of my weblog entries.
"the criminalization of public sleeping, as brought to Denver by Albus Brooks with the anti-camping ordinance, is spreading throughout municipalities like a cruel poison."
Sam Kriss on the contradictions of a Jewish state.
I haven't read all of the Q&As yet, but Shawn Wilbur's AMAs on neo-Proudhonian mutualism are always interesting.
Here's a strange article from 2003 in which Donald Rumsfeld defends looting in Baghdad at some length while Amnesty International calls for more troops to be deployed in order to protect members of Saddam Hussein's party.
Keith McHenry was the first volunteer arrested for sharing free food on August 15, 1988. Eight more volunteers were arrested that same day for sharing lunch at the Haight and Stanyan near the entrance to Golden Gate Park. The San Francisco Police made nearly 1,000 arrests of people volunteering to share vegan meals with Food Not Bombs from 1988 to 1997.
In the section “Rules of Conduct”, of the Denver Police Crowd Control Manual outlines the role of “Shadow Teams,” groups of undercover and/or plainclothes officers who infiltrate demonstrations to observe participants, gather intelligence, monitor “persons of interest”, and help target specific protesters for arrest.
"Releasing the Denver Police Crowd Control Manual is part of our ongoing investigation into the policing of social movements. Using open records requests and other methods, we are currently compiling reports documenting the Denver Police Department."
Someone made a nice website dedicated to Kropotkin's The Conquest of Bread.
"Posadists were once notorious on the far left for their cultish devotion to their leader and their bizarrely positive views on nuclear war."
I think one reason I enjoyed this article is because I had no idea who Leonora Carrington was. I still don't know what she's going to do next.
Some of her art is on wikiart: https://www.wikiart.org/en/leonora-carrington
The latest Harley Poe album is best Harley Poe album.
"In the spring of 2015 a group of anarchist and prison abolitionists worked together to experiment with a pirate radio station that broadcasted into a prison. The project lasted nine months before it was raided and shut down by a coalition of law enforcement. Transmissions in a Hostile Territory is a reflection on that project, how we did it and what we learned from the following legal case. The intention of the zine is to encourage creative engagement in the anti-prison struggle. Fire to prisons, until every cage is empty!"

"On this episode, Kumars is joined by first-time guest host Deellan Kashani, our resident Kurdish expert who wrote her undergraduate thesis on radical political organization in the Kurdish-controlled autonomous region of Rojava in northern Syria. Our guest is Brace Belden (better known by his former Twitter handle, @PissPigGranddad), a florist who recently returned from fighting with the Kurdish YPG forces to defend Rojava against ISIS."
This guy linked to my article on Joe Hill in the description of his video analysis of PewDiePie's name.
A long Austin Chronicle article on the Red Guards Austin. My favorite part is when the assistant chief of police calls them "anarchists". Marxist-Leninists love that.
I was happy to discover that the "Urban Camping Ban" is a significant portion of the Wikipedia article on downtown Denver.
(I read this revision: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Downtown_Denver&oldid=743430248)
A NYMag piece on PissPigGranddad's six-month tour of duty with the YPG in Syria. This article includes quite a bit of overlap with the Rolling Stones article I have linked to before, but it's even better.
