The New Yorker, “James Cromwell’s Civil Disobedience”
He was arrested again a few months later, at the May Day protests in Washington, D.C., along with thousands of other people. Confronting a cop, he felt a baton against his throat, was tossed into a paddy wagon, and spent the night in jail. From his hotel room the next morning, he saw a chaotic […]
Salon, “New “Watchmen” TV series in development at HBO”
It’s also a trenchant, anarchist-inspired commentary on politics and personal identity in the era of Reagan and Thatcher. Continue Reading
Mixmag, “In Session: Gorillaz”
I’m proud of everything we’ve done. Being in Gorillaz has shaped me into the woman you see today: a feminist-anarchist- avenging-angel- intellectual-soul- sister-of- mercy. Who also likes cute hamster butts (it’s a Japanese thing, Google it). Continue Reading
Bustle, “John Oliver Is Sick Of Trump Complaining How “Unfairly” He’s Treated — VIDEO”
Wait, no politician has been treated worse? Abraham Lincoln was shot by an actor, William McKinley was shot by an anarchist, JFK was of course murdered by Ted Cruz’s father, and James Garfield was shot, then to find the bullet — and this is true — Alexander Graham Bell devised a kind of metal detector, […]
Rolling Stone, “See John Oliver Explain Why Trump’s Russia Scandal Is ‘Stupid Watergate'”
“Wait, no politician has been treated worse?” Oliver asked. “Abraham Lincoln was shot by an actor. William McKinley was shot by an anarchist. JFK was, of course, murdered by Ted Cruz’s father. And James Garfield was shot, then to find the bullet, Alexander Graham Bell devised a kind of metal detector, which didn’t work, so […]
Time, “Watch Stephen Colbert Chat With ‘God’ About Trump’s Religious Liberty Executive Order”
And as for whether He is a Republican or Democrat: “Oh, neither…Isn’t it obvious by now — I’m an anarchist. Didn’t you see how many Fast and Furious movies there are?” Continue Reading
LA Weekly, “Tom Morello Is Raging Against More Than Just Trump”
He’s fought for prison reform, raising the minimum wage and farmworkers’ rights. He was a regular presence at Occupy Wall Street protests, and when he uses the term “anarcho-syndicalist politics” in a sentence, you can tell he knows what he’s talking about. Continue Reading
Williamette Week, “The Anarchist Roots of “Antiques Roadshow” Are In Portland”
Here in Portland, we have a long and productive history of anarchists performing vital city functions. I know this because I myself dabbled in anarchism for a brief period in the 1980s. In the months after Walter Mondale’s stunning defeat against Ronald Reagan, I remember feeling like my country had been stolen from me. The […]
Bustle, “17 Books That Aren’t About What You Thought When You First Read Them”
Fight Club is actually making fun of the guys who claim to love the book. Tyler Durden convinces the narrator that his material possessions have ruined his life by making him weak, and talks him into starting or joining a number of enterprises, including an underground boxing ring, a human-fat soap company, and an anti-capitalist […]
Spin, “Rolling Stone Article About American Radicals Fighting ISIS to Become Jake Gyllenhaal Movie”
“The Anarchists vs. the Islamic State,” an incredible Rolling Stone piece published last month, is going to be a movie. The article centered around 27-year-old Brace Belden, an American “punk and pity criminal” better known as Twitter user @PissPigGrandad, who joined Kurdish militia YPG last year to fight ISIS in Syria. (It also followed several other volunteers of varied nationalities.) According […]
