Almost all non-governmental public organizations involved in the protection of women's rights were dissolved. Thus, the victims of violence in Belarus were left without protection and support. A project for women Girl Power Bel was recognized as an "extremist formation".

DEMETER : la gendarmerie va continuer sa chasse aux « éco-terroristes »

Le jeudi 7 novembre, le Conseil d’État a rendu sa décision concernant la cellule de renseignement Déméter : il ne juge pas illégales les missions de « suivi […] des actions idéologiques » confiées à cette cellule de la gendarmerie. Pour L214, Pollinis et Générations Futures, cette décision est alarmante et traduit un climat toujours plus répressif à l’égard des lanceurs d’alerte.

Quatre ans après l’agression du producteur de musique, l’enquête est terminée et plusieurs éléments pulvérisent la version des policiers qui disaient avoir été blessés par Michel Zecler. « J’ai la main gonflée parce que j’ai tapé le mec », confesse ainsi l’un d’entre eux dans un message consulté par Mediapart.

“If voting could ever really change anything, it’d be illegal.”— Thorne, Land of the Blind (2006)

Despite the billions spent to create the illusion of choice culminating in the reassurance ritual of voting for Donald Trump or Kamala Harris, when it comes to most of the big issues that keep us in bondage to authoritarian overlords, not much will change.

War will continue. Drone killings will continue. Surveillance will continue. Censorship of anyone who criticizes the government will continue. The government’s efforts to label dissidents as extremists and terrorists will continue. Police shootings will continue. SWAT team raids will continue. Highway robbery meted out by government officials will continue. Corrupt government will continue. Profit-driven prisons will continue. And the militarization of the police will continue.

The outcome of this year’s election changes none of that.

Discours de BNM à Sivens

discours public prononcé à l'hommage pour les 10 ans de la mort de Remy Fraisse, la semaine dernière


En tant que membres du mouvement Bassines Non Merci, nous venons porter une parole depuis nos collectifs en lutte contre les méga-bassines : ces projets écocidaires, portés par des accapareurs de l'eau qui, comme à Sivens, saccagent notre biodiversité et sacrifient notre avenir au service d'une production déraisonnée, au profit de quelques uns, au détriment de tous.tes. Ces projets pourraient être perçus comme des mal-adaptations, mais nous constatons qu'elles sont de franches aggravations. De la même manière que nous réfutons la qualification des violences policières en tant que dérives pour défendre leur caractère systémique. Pour cela, retracer l'histoire, en faisant l'aller retour entre l'évolution et la continuité de la violence d'État nous semble nécessaire. Nécessaire pour rendre compte de l'intensification, pas tant par les moyens employés, que par la normalisation d'une lourde intensité de violence répressive.

Lire le 5e paragraphe, p99

Parce que oui, maintenant, aller en manif, c'est être inquiète pour soi-même et pour nos camarades, c'est savoir nos proches inquiètes et savoir qu'iels ont raison de l'être. Maintenant, aller en manif, ce n'est plus seulement s'engager personnellement et collectivement en groupe militant, c'est aussi engager nos proches sur lesquels plane le risque de devoir porter l'accompagnement, le soin, l'absence, le deuil.

Eco-terroriste, voilà ce que nous sommes.
Par cette qualification, Darmanin - contre qui une plainte collective de victimes de Ste soline a été déposée -, Darmanin a criminalisé notre mouvement. Il a créé une zone de non-droit, un espace temps dans lequel les flics deviennent des autorités judiciaires. Sans poursuite, sans audience, sans jugement, quand nous sommes dans un champ et que nous manifestons, la répression est légitime à s'abattre sur nous. Elle est légitime à nous plonger dans le coma pendant des mois, elle est légitime à nous mutiler, elle est légitime à nous traumatiser, elle est légitime à tenter de nous brûler vifves. Dans cette zone de non-droit, les flics peuvent appliquer des peines que même un juge ne pourrait pas prononcer.

Ce qui s'est passé ici il y a dix ans est insupportable.
Ce qui s'est passé à sainte soline le 25 mars 2023 est insupportable.
L'impunité dont bénéficient les commanditaires et les exécutants de Sivens, de Sainte Soline ou encore de Mantes la jolie est insupportable.

Pour Rémi, pour Serge, Micka, Alix et tous les blessé.es de Sainte-Soline, pour les personnes victimes de cette répression depuis des décennies dans les quartiers populaires, les pays colonisés et d'autres luttes, on n'oublie pas, on ne pardonne pas ! On se battra pour le monde auquel on croit, et auquel Rémi croyait : un monde où les rivières sont belles, un monde où libellules et papillons foisonnent, un monde où l'espèce humaine occuperait une place plus humble et moins prédatrice, moins destructrice, loin des pluies de grenades et des bourreaux.

No bassaran !

https://kolektiva.social/@MikeDunnAuthor/113402434868018343 MikeDunnAuthor@kolektiva.social - Ever wonder what happened to the “Trick” in “Trick or Treat?”

It all started when Halloween was brought to the U.S. by Irish immigrants who were fleeing the Great Famine of 1845-1852. Back then, the holiday was celebrated quite differently than how most Americans celebrate it today. Early Irish-American Halloween celebrations usually began with a big meal, with foods and rituals to divine the future. A traditional Halloween entree was colcannon, a casserole of mashed potatoes, milk, onion and kale, served with lots of butter, if one could afford it. The cook would hide prizes in the colcannon. Finding a ring meant you were the next to get married. A coin indicated you’d have good luck for the rest of the year. Alternatively, they might scoop the first and last spoonful of colcannon into a girl’s stocking and hang that from a nail in the door. The next person to enter through that door supposedly would be her future husband.

Another Halloween treat was barmbrack, a sweetbread filled with fruit, and sometimes hidden prizes. In this case, finding a ring foretold of an impending romance, whereas a thimble meant you would never get married. A piece of rag meant bad luck or poverty. If a girl ate an apple while combing her hair in front of a mirror at midnight on All Hallows Eve, she would see her future husband gazing back at her. If she walked out into the night, blindfolded, and was led to a cabbage patch, she could predict the size and shape of her future husband by the size and shape of the first cabbage she picked. And if she peeled an apple and let the shavings fall to the ground, she might be able to discern her sweetheart’s initials.

The traditional Halloween supper was followed by bonfires, games, and Mumming, a ritual in which people in costumes (often in drag) marched door-to-door, performing rhyming plays, usually humorous, and often in exchange for food, treats, or even booze. Mumming was practiced in Ireland, Scotland, Mann and Wales, as well as several other European countries, going back at least as far as the Middle Ages. And it is still practiced in parts of the U.S., particularly in Pennsylvania, most likely as a result of the Irish and Welsh who immigrated there in the mid-1800s, many to work in the coal mines. Tolstoy portrayed mumming in War and Peace. For a fascinating history of Irish mumming, check out Henry Glassie’s, All Silver and No Brass (1975).

Mumming was likely the origin of trick-or-treating, as mummers sometimes threatened mischief if treats weren’t provided. Some of the pranks and mischief people did back then included removing the hinges from people’s gates; placing farmers’ wagons or livestock on top of their rooves; stringing ropes across walkways to trip people in the dark; mowing down their shrubs; knocking over swill barrels and outhouses; and even detonating small bombs. By the late 1800s and early 20th century, however, Halloween pranking had taken on a much more anti-authoritarian edge. Kids would vandalize their principal’s home, set off fire alarms, throw bricks through shop windows, attack well-dressed pedestrians and streetcar passengers with bags of flour, and strike out against authority, in general. Sometimes, homeowners would fight back, shooting kids with buckshot or saltpeter. By World War II, the authorities were so alarmed that they started to claim that these pranks were threatening the war effort by wasting scarce resources and disrupting the sleep of weary war workers.

Efforts to sanitize the holiday began in the 1930s, when “The American Home” magazine, and radio shows, like the Jack Benny Show, began promoting the idea of parents taking younger kids out trick-or-treating responsibly and politely. In 1950, the Senate Judiciary Committee, under President Truman, tried to transform Halloween into a more family-friendly holiday, renaming it “Youth Honor Day.” It was around this time that costumes started to become cuter and less scary, and that parents started organizing neighborhood haunted houses and parties to keep the kids out of mischief. In the 1952 Donald Duck cartoon, “Trick or Treat,” Huey, Dewey, and Louie tried to convince mean old Uncle Donald to give them candy instead of the explosives he wanted to give them. But the biggest changes came when food, tobacco, and toy companies saw the huge profits to be made from this new trend and began massively marketing candy and costumes in the weeks leading up to Halloween. By 1965, corporations were making $300 million per year in profits from Halloween costumes and candy.

Of course, the mischief never completely disappeared. Teenagers and some adults continue to light fireworks, and commit pranks, like leaving burning bags of poop on doorsteps, or blowing up jack-o’-lanterns. In 1994, MIT students dismantled a cop car and reassembled it on top of the Great Dome on the Cambridge campus. There’s an annual naked pumpkin run in Boulder, Colorado. And the parties can get pretty raucous, particularly San Francisco’s Castro Street Halloween (at least it was until the city authorities took it over, moved it downtown, and sanitized it). I remember one Night-Before Halloween Castro Street Party back in the 1990s, where people had lined up shoes down the length of the street, with the lost shoe of current mayor, and former police chief, Frank Jordan, at the very end, all doused in lighter fluid and ignited in a fiery celebration of disdain for the homophobic, pro-business police and mayor.
