Greek authorities have historically treated anarchists and left-wing movements as political threats and use political associations and a defendant’s history alongside the alleged offense itself as part of the evidentiary picture when bringing criminal charges.
Testing Greece’s controversial terrorism law, Greek anarchist Nikos Romanos, alongside Argyrios K. and Dimitris P., was acquitted of terrorism charges in connection with an explosion in an apartment in Athens.

For nearly two months, Palestinians in Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan neighborhood had access to water at any time — a welcome sense of stability in the depths of a genocidal war. On Aug. 24, that stability was disrupted by an Israeli airstrike that destroyed the newly built water desalination plant and damaged apartment buildings and tents.
Standing next to rubble, Louay Al-Namnam told UR that at least 14 Palestinian families were now looking for “somewhere to live.”

Ten years ago tonight, police fatally shot Philando Castile in front of his girlfriend and her daughter during a traffic stop near the Minnesota State Fairgrounds.
Protests occurred immediately, high-end stores on Summit Avenue were vandalized, I-94 was taken over by the community (dozens were mass arrested, cops were injured) and people occupied space in front the Gov Residence for ~23 days.
Castile's killer Jeronimo Yanez was charged but was found not guilty of second degree manslaughter.

The PPA generally requires subpoenas over search warrants when seeking journalists’ work.

A train station’s canopy collapsed in the northern Serbian city of Novi Sad in October 2024, killing 16 people. The station had just been renovated — financed through an agreement with China whose details still remain strictly confidential. For protesters who participated in a massive movement, the collapse illustrates how corruption in Serbia has become an increasingly life-threatening issue.

@nprofile…pwgz good question -- this is actually the 4th Precinct on the northside of Mpls whereas the 2020 uprising set aflame the 3rd Precinct in the southside.

2025-11-19 02:50:23 GMT

10 years ago today, police attacked activists seeking #Justice4Jamar Clark. The police started with violently pushing people out of the 4th Precinct vestibule in the morning & shooting 'less-lethals' at night. Community responded by occupying more space, forming protective walls around the precinct, throwing rocks, and even throwing a Molotov cocktail to end the night.
(Stay tuned for Unicorn Riot's upcoming documentary named 18 Days, after the 18 day occupation of the 4th Precinct in 2015)

Breaking news from Atlanta - Judge Kevin Farmer just indicated he would imminently dismiss the RICO case against the 61 #StopCopCity defendants after finding the Georgia Attorney General wasn’t authorized to bring the case due to a lack of formal authorization for ‘concurrent jurisdiction’ from the Governor.
The ruling will likely be appealed and for now other counts in the case remain but will continue to be aggressively contested by the defense.

"Judaism is opposed to this occupation, to the horrific slaughter that is, in front of our eyes, every minute taking place in Gaza. Zionism, the ideology behind the state of Israel, this is a mere 130-40 years, the state is 76 years. It is a transformation from godliness, from religion, from the covenant we made with God into pure, selfish, flawed nationalism."
