Dolphins are pure ocean magic: sentient, playful, clever. What they deserve is simple: waves to ride, families to stay with, and freedom in the sea.

Today in Labor History September 14, 1989: Seven members of ACT UP (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power) infiltrated the New York Stock Exchange, chaining themselves to the VIP balcony to protest the high price of AZT, the only approved AIDS drug at the time. They also unfurled a banner that read, "SELL WELLCOME" referring to Burroughs Wellcome, the manufacturer of AZT, who had set the price at $10,000 per patient per year. Several days later, Burroughs Wellcome lowered the price of AZT to the still unaffordable price of $6,400 per patient per year.
“Well-coordinated direct action catches the police off guard, showing the power of secure and strategic organising…
The protest bloc walked unchallenged to the entrance, where DSEi 2025 delegates were due to arrive, and blocked it…
This is what also makes this year’s DSEi protest stand out: for showing it is possible to take powerful, decisive action against the arms industry without centring mass arrests as a core strategic aim…
The question now is whether the time and energy needed to outwit police surveillance can be replicated, persuading allies to treat security as central to their organising.”

Thessaloniki, Greece: Responsibility claim for explosion at home of prison officers’ union president Kostas Varsamis by armed organisation ‘Sagre Negra’ [Black Blood]
In recent years, and even more so in the last six years, the criminal organization of New Democracy has been ruling the country with the tactics of a monarchy and an authoritarian regime. Its main argument in its attempt to gather a few votes is prisons and the harshest repression. In the country’s ostensibly “correctional” institutions and in the otherwise blind and independent justice system that decides who will become an inmate and who will not, their criteria are not evidence of guilt but ideological position, wallet size, skin color, party connections, and the privileged clique to which some belong.
Greek courts are anything but incorruptible. For the majority of people, exhausting laws, mass detentions, and illogical sentences have made conditions in the country’s prisons unbearable and inhumane, culminating in the New Democracy party’s repressive resolutions.... the ungreased seats do not recognize any mitigating circumstances for the defendants, nor any presumption of innocence.
The modern hellholes that are called correctional facilities are warehouses for souls, where thousands of people are crammed together in miserable conditions. There are many problems that require immediate solutions. [They] mention some of the most important ones. This, combined with the filth, the neglect of the buildings and, of course, the disappearance of funds, they add up to a huge humanitarian time bomb in all the country’s prisons, more powerful than the one we put in the house of the torturer Kostas Varsamis.
Kostas Varsamis, a senior torturer and prison guard, is the father figure of correctional officers, whose sole aim is the vindictive torture of prisoners. It is no coincidence that governments and politicians come and go, while he remains in his position. His authoritarian mindset, indifference, and goal of taking revenge on prisoners are characteristics that find favor with state scoundrels and opposition from all prisoners. The tactics he uses and the way he acts contribute decisively to the torture of prisoners. The countless disciplinary measures he generously dishes out for the slightest thing, the prohibitions on material goods. The deaths of prisoners in disciplinary cells, the cold, the miserable food, the lack of open visiting hours....
We chose this particular scumbag to start a series of new attacks on directors, chief guards, employees, judicial officials, and agencies related to laws and prisons. Prisons are boiling over; it is time to put an end to the impoverishment and the repressive mechanism with attacks, riots, strikes, and every form of struggle inside and outside prisons.

“Militarization is advancing, and behind the neoliberal promise of prosperity, the fascist face is becoming ever more blatant. Resignation and pessimism are gaining traction, and one can breathe a sense of sadness.”
Pissed off GenZ protestors bring down the government of #Nepal - set parliament building on fire, ransack some legislators homes and take over the streets. Protests have morphed from anger over the social media ban, now rescinded, to anger at #corruption in govt. This is what youth power looks like at its height, when it boils over into the streets of the capital. #protests #Youth #revolution #GenZ #PoliticalAction #DirectAction #Asia #Corruption

[Basque Country] Attack on German Insurance Company Allianz in Solidarity with Comrade Daniela Klette and for a Black August
Words are important, yes. But when they remain only that, in words, they are useless, only to fill one’s mouth with air, those words lose their meaning. When we say we give solidarity and we want the freedom of the prisoners or when we demand the freedom of the Palestinian people, we have to be consistent, if we analyze only reality, if we confront only ideas, if in the end we stay only with intentions, we stay halfway. There was a time when anarchists combined word and action, theory and practice. And that was our essence as well as our way of distinguishing ourselves from others. While politicians talk and talk and we despise them for that very reason, for their charlatanism, for their despicable changes of direction according to convenience, and ultimately for their innocuousness in changing the established. We said it then and we say it now, that theory is not valid without practice, just as ambivalences or lack of commitment are not valid, nor is wasting time in Sufisms. The time to think without acting is over, the time to analyze without the proper consequences is over. Finally, it was time, said the old anarchists in the past, we are finally doing something, we say now. Enough talk, enough inaction, the Palestinians will say as they slaughter them daily. This is how we also say enough, freedom to the imprisoned comrades.
Everything is already written. Everything has already been analyzed. Everything is more than clear. What prevents us from taking action, what paralyzes us when it comes to being consistent with our ideas and decisions? Is it perhaps the fear of being worse? We are abhorring ourselves with the Western lifestyle, work, consumption and obedience. While our fallen comrades have given the best of their lives to change this shit in which we live, while our comrades are persecuted or imprisoned, we cannot stand still or make the usual protests that already smell of mothballs, of a museum of protest or even worse of corpses before resurrecting.
If history tells us that any struggle to change this increasingly militaristic, authoritarian and exclusionary existence is redirected, crushed or assimilated, let us make it intransigent, uncontrollable and not assimilable in practice.
For this reason, and to begin with ourselves, we have decided to assume the responsibility of continuing to practice here and now the revolutionary gymnastics so dear to our dear comrades of aye, today and tomorrow. We will see if they can assimilate these practices, we will see if they will be able to stop the anger that grows within us, we will see if they will be able to control the social tsunami that is coming. In this civilized Europe there may be no more social, worker-peasant revolutions, there may not be more revolts of the conscious masses. We don’t care. As the French revolutionaries said when they were going to storm the Bastille, then a prison, with the intention of freeing those detained there: it will be what it will be… and we will not be alone to see it happen.
Thus, fraternizing with our siblings Belén Navarrete, Luciano Pitronello and Luciano Balboa, we participate in this way in the international call for a Black August.
On Monday, August 25th, we threw stones at the window of the German insurance subsidiary Allianz, in Altsasu-Alsasua (Nafarroa), as a gesture of solidarity to the recently arrested German colleague Daniela Klette.
Free Daniela k.
Nothing and no one will be forgotten
Prisoners on the street.
For a Black August

Today in Labor History September 1, 1987: During a nonviolent protest against the illegal U.S arming of the Nicaraguan Contras, a Navy munitions train ran over anti-war protester Brian Willson at the Concord Naval Weapons Station, just east of San Francisco. Willson lost both legs in the incident, as well suffering permanent brain damage. The next day, dozens of protesters returned to the site and dismantled the tracks. Three days later, over 10,000 people demonstrated at the site. And anti-war activists continued to maintain an around-the-clock vigil at the site for years afterward. At the time, the Concord station was shipping between 60,000 and 120,000 tons of munitions each year to U.S. forces and allies.
For at least a year prior to the 1987 incident, the FBI had been monitoring Brian Willson as a “domestic terrorist.” Furthermore, the train crew had been advised to not stop the train, even if protesters were blocking the tracks. Willson later filed suit, arguing that the Navy and individual supervisors were given ample warning of their plan to block the tracks, and that the train crew had time to stop. The official Navy report confirmed this. The civilian members of the train crew subsequently sued him for the "humiliation, embarrassment & emotional distress" the incident caused them. Willson, a Vietnam War veteran and member of Veterans For Peace, continued to be an active leader in the anti-military, prisoners’ rights, and anti-imperialism movements.
The Concord Naval Weapons was formerly known as Port Chicago. During World War Two, an explosion there killed 322 mostly black sailors during, setting off a rebellion known as the Port Chicago Mutiny, in which 200 black sailors refused to load any more munitions. 50 of them were convicted and sentenced to hard labor. Thurgood Marshall, who was working for the NAACP at the time, provided their legal representation. He noted that only black men had been assigned to the dangerous munitions loading job. Congress did not exonerate the men until 2019.
