Magpie Killjoy on being an anarchist then and now.

If I had just known that back in November, I never would have voted for Trump.

The first randomized trial of industrial employment on workers reveals that people DON'T like being coerced from their land to work in sweatshops. Surprise!

Dukes was studying the prison system at the time of the shooting, reading books like Slavery by Another Name and watching the documentary 13th, and he believes in the abolition of prisons.

“She’s going to go into a system that will eat her alive and that’s awful,” he says of Elizabeth Hokoana. “It’s hard to wish that on anyone.”

“Right now, we’re continually escalating violence,” Dukes said of the divide between the right and the left. “Maybe if we can have a larger conversation, maybe we can turn this thing around. We have to start seeing each other as people, and talk about how other people are people.”

In one clip, Boyle criticizes an officer who had been telling homeless individuals that they have to take down their tents because it would be better for them to be in a shelter.

“Are you an expert in social change, or are you an expert in following orders?” asks Boyle, pointing his camera toward the officer in the cruiser.

The police officer bites his lip, then chuckles. “That’s not my job to change society,” the officer says.

“So then why are you giving advice [to the homeless].... Isn’t your job to be here and follow orders?” Boyle retorts.

It's almost unbelievable to me how much effort law enforcement put into identifying someone accused of throwing an unlit molotov at a protest.
