CBS New York, “‘You Let Your Police Officers Down:’ Queens Woman Confronts De Blasio About Germany Trip”
“I don’t care about the trees,” she shouted. “Pay your police officers and stop spending it on money to go protest against our country.” She spoke with Kramer on Friday and continued to ask questions. “Why did you go to Germany? Why did you stand with the communists, the anarchists, the socialists when you’re supposed […]
The Daily Californian, “Oakland’s Museum of Capitalism makes anti-capitalist discourse accessible to all”
Each quote acts as a hook, leading the reader to a small, simple television with an expert on the screen speaking for 20-minute loops on their hyper-specific, alternative social or economic system to capitalism — systems ranging from anarchist feminism to caring economics to indigenous polynesian communism.

Capitol Hill Times (Seattle), “Brush up on your Shakespeare”
Alt-right vs. anarchists: The vendetta between hot-blooded Black Bloc and Proud Boy bravos is escalating from fists to knives and guns. This way madness lies. Continue Reading
Al Jazeera, “US authorities handle white supremacists with kid gloves while branding Antifa protesters ‘domestic terrorists'”
On June 12, 2017, New Jersey’s Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness (OHSP) added a new name to its list of “domestic terrorist” threats: Antifa. The report characterises “Antifa” as a group of “anarchist extremists” who “focus on issues involving racism, sexism, and anti-Semitism, as well as other perceived injustices,” a half-baked definition, while technically accurate, is […]
Vice, “A Very Psychedelic Conversation with the Creators of ‘Rick and Morty'”
I would just use the word “anarchist.” He doesn’t like being told what to do by anybody. And yes, that is what libertarians say, but they also acknowledge the existence of other libertarians, and say that if you let everyone do whatever they want, everything will be great. And I don’t think Rick believes that. […]
Philadelphia Weekly, “Sparing some change: A deeply personal look at the panhandling situation in Philadelphia”
Baltimore Avenue is home to a socialist bookstore, an anarchist community center, an alternative media non-profit, and a member-owned food co-op. Black Lives Matter signs hang in a number of storefronts. On this street, kicking a panhandler to the curb or calling the cops isn’t always a popular move. Continue Reading
Mic, “The NRA releases another horrifying ad, this time threatening journalists and politicians”
The darker, perhaps more dangerous allegation in the video, besides the common refrain among conservatives that the Washington Post is a “fake news outlet,” is the insinuation that recent violent protests are the work of popular Democratic politicians and activists, who “organize anarchy” and do the work of the “violent left” (or, at very least, […]
Fox 2 San Francisco, “UC Berkeley students charged with vandalism”
Chamu’s Facebook page included many messages that “were consistent with the graffiti messages,” such as “f— the police, rebellion, Black Lives Matter, God Bless Antifa, White Nationalism and supremacy, tech development and its negative impact on Black and Brown bodies,” Hong wrote. At Estrada’s home, officers found many items belonging to Chamu, as well as […]
The Guardian, “Why Anarchism is Better than Conventional Diplomacy”
The discussion is intense. One opposition leader, his voice shaking, warned the council diplomats that there would be genocide in his country. I have only belatedly learned that those on the ground usually have the best idea about how to solve conflict. Ultimately, such realisations led to a belief in a very different kind of […]
BuzzFeed News, “A Fake Antifa Member Trolled A Fox News Host, And The President May Have Watched It”
Watters began the segment by reporting on an editorial from the anarchist website It’s Going Down, titled “An Open Letter To Liberals & Progressives From The Black Bloc.” The Black Bloc is a protest tactic, often employed by anarchists, where protesters dress in all black clothing to obscure their identities from authorities.
