Morning Comrades! Uff, where to start today, there is heaps to talk about and I am finding it a little hard to concentrate my rage onto a few topics to fit into this space but here we go.
One of the main focal points will be the re-occurring fuckery from the bad actors over in Washington D.C. and the moratorium on evictions ending on Saturday with no moves by anyone to stop that, of course. The cosplay since then by their so called progressives wouldn’t even warrant them a note on Rotten Tomatoes but here we are. The masks are off, the representatives you pay for are not here to help you but only to enrich their pockets and it is down to us to help ourselves. If the past 10-12 years since the Financial Crisis weren’t proof enough, this is it.
The above image links to an incredibly valuable resource on direct action, on how to help yourself and your community. Crimethinc will always be to kick off point for any meaningful action and whilst the above particularly deals with the US, this level of capitalism embraces us all. So regardless whether you live in the US or not, read the above and get to it. We have no one but ourselves and it is time to take charge of our fates.
With that, for anyone that is interested in a deeper, more thorough take on the looming eviction crisis, Popular Information just published a good take and run down of it all. I am not willing to put energy into explaining the level of gaslighting and mockery from these class enemies but I am nonetheless glad someone is.
For more direct action resources specific to the US, please click the above thread.
Unless you have been hiding under a rock these past weeks you will have been aware of the increasingly violent results of the man-made climate change. You know, the one big issue facing us all that our capitalists are spending billions on for us to one the one hand accept individual responsibility ( a lie ) and quite frankly ignore for the sake of ever increasing consumption ( a death wish ). The cultural warfare employed by the fossil fuel energy companies is a real thing and Emily Atkin over on Heated just published a piece illustrating how wildly difficult this is. By all means click on the above image to read a riveting piece that at the very least should motivate you to get involved. Today.
And now for something completely different: I am extremely happy to announce two new regular contributors to this newsletter. Both Ana aka Russisch Raclette and Tatjana aka Bayslater_ over on IG will be getting a column here for the Friday Newsletter.
Some of you might remember Ana from the last Anarchist Cook Book I published last year and her Friday column will focus on Vegan Recipes to make at home that will utterly rock your world.
Tatjana is a mixologist and bartender in Copenhagen’s Balderdash Bar, a beautiful place that offers Tatjana freedom and space to create some of the worlds most amazing drinks, certainly as far as I am concerned. She will be offering weekly cocktail recipes in her column here for you to mix at home.
Both of these columns will be a weekly feature in Friday’s Email and will not be behind the ( sadly necessary ) paywall on this newsletter. However, if you are interested in supporting this newsletter through the patreon style system on here I would hugely appreciate it.
