Once again, we’ve sold out of another printing of the Contradictionary, our Bestiary of Words in Revolt. In order to help fund the next printing, we are offering a few copies of our limited edition extra fancy printing of the book, the Unicorn Edition.

Like a photonegative of the original, the Unicorn Edition features a white faux leather cover (yes, it's vegan). The title is stamped in holographic rainbow foil. While our stock holds out, we'll be including our “Act Like You Are Already Free” sticker on holographic vinyl, an homage to our friend David Graeber.

This is a way you can help us to fund all the other projects we are working on, should you so desire. We are an all-volunteer project without any outside funding. We make all of our work available for free or, where that is impossible, for break-even prices.

Anarchists in the Movement against Police and White Supremacy

From the Los Angeles Riots to the George Floyd Uprising

To observe the five-year anniversary of the burning of the Third Precinct at the beginning of the George Floyd Revolt, we've prepared a timeline tracing the trajectory of anarchist contributions to uprisings against the police from the Rodney King riots of 1992 to the 2020 uprising in Minneapolis.

Five years ago today, after Minneapolis police murdered George Floyd, demonstrators forced them to abandon the Third Precinct and set it on fire—a profound act of solidarity and faith in the possibility of social change.

This account describes how they did it:

Not long after, a Newsweek poll found that fully 54% of those questioned believed the burning of the Minneapolis Police Precinct was justified after George Floyd’s killing.

At that time, Joe Biden was polling around 46% and Donald Trump at 38%.

Never let them tell you resistance can't be popular.

Louise Michel was a 40-year-old schoolteacher when the Paris Commune broke out. She fought in the front lines, was sentenced to life in exile, supported an anti-colonial uprising during her imprisonment in New Caledonia, and dedicated her life to anarchist resistance. Today is her birthday.

Revolution is another word for the profound ways that we can change our lives to come to grips with the struggles of our times.

Today is the birthday of the Russian anarchist Mikhail Bakunin.

A Russian comrade of ours prepared this photoessay and virtual tour of his birthplace and family home, Priamukhino, including the museum documenting his life and the lives of his relatives and friends—since it's not easy to visit Russia these days.
