This essay is dedicated to the memory of our revolutionary elder, theorist, and warrior Russell Maroon Shoatz 

This essay was inspired partially by one of our comrades while we were discussing the failures of non-violence as a tactic and philosophy. She said something along the lines of “I was raised by radicals from the 1960s and 1970s. If you were a Panther and you got caught, you were doing something wrong”. The zine is a product of a variety of conversations among Black anarchists in the post-George Floyd rebellion  although many of these strands of thought have existed prior to this moment.

This rally served to prepare his re-election campaign and to boost morale for both his wavering supporters – and for himself. The rally, which was expected to attract more than one million, suffered from poor turnout.

Trump returned to the White House after spending just 3 hours in Tulsa. As he walked across the White House lawn, a reporter captured a picture of him. The picture displayed a Donald Trump that I had never seen before. His posture was hunched. His gaze was turned downwards. His eyebrows were furrowed as he frowned. His suit was unbuttoned to reveal his red tie hanging limply around his neck. He carried his signature red hat crumpled in his left hand.
