With all the fireworks of hate coming from the Supreme Court, some protesters decided to show up at “Justice” Alito’s house. The usual cops were NOT present at Alito’s house, suggesting that they are present only when protesters are expected and this time around caught them by surprise.

Alito was a well-picked target, as in the leaked draft of the Dobbs decision Alito cited notorious 17th century jurist Matthew Hale. Matthew Hale is famous for having two women executed for witchcraft as well as originating the doctrine that rape was legal within marriage. This earned Hale’s follower Alito the “witchburner” name

Some major ass got kicked last night for Weelaunee Forest: Three corporate execs got paintwork at their HOMES. One of them (Keith Johnson of Brasfeld & Gorrie) got a side order of pool vandalism and a stench attack. Two more got side orders of slashed tires to go with that lovely paintwork

Like HLS, this doesn’t stop at the office anymore!

Good Morning Keith Johnson,How did you sleep last night? Did you rest well knowing you are responsible for destroying a beautiful, life-giving forest forest in order to build a death-bringing facility? Brasfield & Gorrie, the company for which you are the Eastern Regional President (bosses burn in hell), has already torn apart one of the last lines of defense against climate catastrophe and the largest green space in a Black neighborhood of Southeast Atlanta. You’ve decided to build a cop city that will produce brutal state violence. You’ve occupied sacred Mvskoke land and are working with the killers of Tortuguita in order to enable their repressive and murderous regime. B&G claims to live by the Golden Rule, and if we’re truly following this moral framework, what fate do you deserve?I imagine you woke up early this morning and made a cup of coffee. As you looked out the window, something unusual caught your eye. You opened the back door to investigate and the stench of rotten fish and dirty motor oil hit your nose. To your dismay, blood-red paint has been cast around the pool, dripping into the water and mixing with the oil concoction, destroying your fancy little filter. There is blood on your hands (and you won’t be able to wash it off with that nasty pool water). At this point, I imagine feelings of anger and fear began to rise, which grew overwhelming when you saw the words, “COP CITY WILL NEVER BE BUILT,” “DROP THE CONTRACT,” and “YOU CAN’T HIDE,” emblazoned across your property. But you didn’t need the words to know what this is about and these feelings are surely nothing new. We know things haven’t been feeling great in the office– you’re losing money, subcontractors are upset, there are fractures everywhere the cop city project, and all that weight and precarity is on your fragile shoulders. Each time you think of us or see the reminders we left you, remember this is your own doing. You can make all this stop by dropping the Cop City contract.There are a couple more surprises in store for you, but we don’t want to spoil them. Maybe it will be your daughter who sees the damage first instead, but we won’t feel bad. Mary Grace Johnson works for the same awful company that you do. Seems like rancid vibes run in the family.See you next time! P.S. To our beloved comrades– the fight is not lost. While we have not yet taken back Weelaunee People’s Park, the forest is with us. For every cowardly security detail shining their lights into the night, there are ten trees providing us with revolutionary darkness. Take to the shadows, no matter your experience. There’s a stinky prank hiding in the back of your mind and you just have to start sniffing

Fun with friends – House Visits! Vehicles vandalized!Posted on July 2, 2023 -On a recent night, 2 groups of friends were feeling a little bored and decided to go on a fun little excursion. One group visited to home of LS3P senior architect Anthony Kenny at 235 Lake Drive in Norcross GA. Another group visited the home of Ambrish Baisiwala, who is on the APF board of trustees and works for Portman Holdings, at 683 Cumberland road NE in Atlanta. Messages were left in paint, tires were slashed. It was a joyful occassion all around. Thank you to the kind people who provided the names and addresses that facilitated this night of fun, particularly the free & rowdy Party. There are many more names and addresses of people making cop city happen that could be the locations of future fun nights for you and your friends if your looking for something to do!-DTF party planning committeeSubmitted Anonymously Over Email

On the 2nd of July, a massive crowd gathered in Ft Lauderdale, FL to march against FL Governor DeSantis’s vile and hateful new laws that went into effect the previous day.

Thoughout the entire event, there was no sign of the “Vice City Proud Boys, known for protesting similar events in the past. Possibly they are too busy fighting each other after the Oregon City battle between Proud Boys and other Nazis? The only visisble right-wingers were three Second Amendment activists who were unable to start a fight because too many agreed with them on that issue. they had T-shirts, one flag, and two camera people. Gun controllers say “assault weapons are for war” and millions fear needing them for exactly that with the brewing genocide first of trans people, then the rest of the LGBTQ+ community.

Drenching rains opened up just before the start of the march, but very few people left. Rain or shine the march went on, as DeSantis is drenching the state in hate and religious bigotry and extremism.

If this evil man becomes President of the US, he will do all he can to “Florida your New York, your California, your DC etc! The violent and genocidal anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-migrant legislation will then be presented to a probable GOP Congress and if it passes the whole so-called United States will be plunged into religious conflict and hate.

July 1 was the day all the vile and hateful legislation rammed through Tallahasse by FL Gov DeSantis took effect. On that day, “Freedom for all” marches were held in cities throughout Florida. One of these was in St Petersburg FL.

Key chant “We will not be silent-Stonewall was a riot!”

This protest was also against the corporatization of Pride. One speaker reported seeing many corporate “sponsors” in St Petersburg Pride who also donated millions to the politicians responsibe for the current wave of genocidal legislation.

On the 29th of June, Weelaunee Forest’s defenders showed up at a speech given by Atlanta’s Mayor Andre Dickens at a firehouse. As protesters chanted and peppered the Mayor with questions, he abandoned his speech, cutting it sort.

In possible deference to this being at a firehouse, “if we don’t get it burn it down” was reverted to the older “if we don’t get it shut it down.”

This is similar to Climate Defiance actions in DC and elsewhere that have forced much of the Biden cabinet to flee or cancel public appearances, in one case hiding behind a row of garbage trucks

This march was 3 days before DeSantis’ brutal SB1718 goes into effect. The new laws are so extreme migrant workers have fled FL en masse and unharvestable crops are rotting in the fields.

Even some out of state drivers licenses will no longer be recognized by FL police. In addition, just DRIVING INTO FLORIDA (across the border) with a friend or family member who is undocumented becomes a felony in FL as of July 1. This is also predicted to cause a storm of racial profiling “traffic stops” in FL and could even lead to roadside shootouts just as all other police stops can and do.

Still worse, at least some “offenses” under SB1718 are automatic pretrial HOLDS, meaning detention without trial.

Turns out there are no white MAGA “Americans” waiting in line for jobs picking fruit, so FL gets NO HARVEST 2023!

The trans march was a powerful statement from a community under siege, and the overall event was massive. It may have simply been the obstacle-strewn nature of the Bayside Drive area, but the size of the crowd and the massive traffic jams made this look like one of the big NE Prides like DC’s Capitol Pride. On the other hand the much shorter march route may have concentrated the crowd.

Everyone except DeSantis and his Nazi friends caught a real break: a month ago with Fascist attacks escalating and the drag ban scheduled to go into effect days later, St Pete lookd like a major flashpoint. Instead, there were only a few Christo-fash, no militia fash and no attacks. An injunction was issued by a Federal court against the drag ban the previous day, so planned police enforcement to limit spiciness of drag performances cancelled. Police attacks on drag performers had been a real risk and had this taken place another Stonewall could have resulted. With the drag ban struck down, a proposed and possibly illegal enforcement campaign against a law that was not to go into effect for another week appeared to have been called off.

Another Stonewall could have resulted in escalation with unknown results. Any serious Fascist attack would have guaranteed swift retaliation, again leading to escalation, again with unknown results. None of this took place, a half dozen religious extremists yelling were no threat to the huge crowd.
