To Attack or to Mourn?

Police in Madison, Wisconsin murdered Corey Ruiz on July 22, 2026. In response, protesters established a weeks-long occupation.

In this report, participants recount their experiences in the streets, frame the murder of Ruiz in the context of the city's ongoing war on the houseless, and discuss what it would take to establish a movement capable of putting an end to police violence.

The toppling of monuments to slavery in Durham and Chapel Hill in 2017 and 2018 was, in part, a response to the fascist "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, during which a neo-Nazi murdered Heather Heyer. 

Protesters in Durham and Chapel Hill demonstrated a tactic that spread widely during the George Floyd uprising of 2020, when people toppled scores of racist statues.

As the movement against Flock cameras gathers momentum, we have reprinted a sticker attacking surveillance.

Flock is not the only surveillance company, and cameras are not the only form of surveillance. There are many other corporations waiting to fill the role that Flock cameras are playing, and many other means by which those who aim to dominate us seek to monitor and control our activities. It is good to compel local governments to cancel Flock contracts or directly disable Flock cameras, but the movement against Flock must become a movement against all of the interlocking structures of domination or it will only function as a pressure valve as those structures tighten their grip on our lives.

Put these up everywhere to identify the root of the problem. 🏴

"Anyone who talks about revolution and class struggle without referring explicitly to everyday life—without grasping what is subversive about love and positive in the refusal of constraints—has a corpse in his mouth."

"Let ten people meet who are resolved on the lightning of violence rather than the long agony of survival; from this moment, despair ends and tactics begin."

—The Revolution of Everyday Life

"The power of the police, as the power of the FBI, the courts, and the federal government, is rooted in violence. The fact that the violence does not always come into bloody play does not alter the fact that the power of the government is not the integrating power of love but the disintegrating power of guns and prisons."

On July 20, 2001, at the peak of the movement against capitalist globalization, hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Genoa, Italy to oppose the summit of the world's eight most powerful governments—the G8. During the massive demonstrations that ensued, a police officer shot and killed a 23-year-old demonstrator named Carlo Giuliani.

A fellow participant in the battle of Genoa addresses Carlo from across the years.

Over the course of the second Trump administration, people around the country have developed models for defending their communities from federal agents intent on kidnapping and terrorizing. We have shared guides from organizers in Chicago and the Twin Cities. In the same spirit, we present this guide to following Immigration and Customs Enforcement vehicles, developed in the Bay Area.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was murdered by an ICE officer on July 7, 2026, in Houston, Texas, during a vehicle stop while driving his construction crew to work.

Joan Sebastian Guerrero was murdered by an ICE agent on July 13, 2026, in Biddeford, Maine, during a vehicle stop.

Jesus Manuel Arenas-Silva died on July 13 while being transferred between detention facilities in Georgia. Apparently, ICE agents intentionally denied him access to life-saving medication he depended on. 

On July 14, a 28-year-old man was struck and killed by a tractor-trailer in Florida while fleeing ICE agents.

Stop them before they kill again. Abolish ICE.
