“Rise like lions after slumber
in unvanquishable number.
Shake your chains to earth like dew,
which in sleep had fallen on you.
Ye are many— they are few.”

from Percy Shelly’s poem “The Masque of Anarchy” written in response to the Peterloo Massacre.

"It’s hard to predict the ultimate price of this closure, we have gotten very accustomed to the North Avenue Shelter just being there doing its thing. We should expect to see increases in police calls, ambulance calls, ER visits, incarceration costs, etc. It’s going to cost unhoused people attempting to pull themselves up by their bootstraps their jobs, it’s going to cause people to relapse on their sobriety, it’s going to cost people their stability and their ability to remain med compliant.

It’s going to cost all of us, business owners, workers, taxpayers, unhoused folks, far more than it would take to keep the doors open.

It’s real simple: desperate people will render desperate deeds.

Everything has to go somewhere, and they will go somewhere even though there is nowhere for them to go. They can’t go to Whitman, the Hang-out is closed, the Resource Center is gone, and now the only emergency shelter in town is closing permanently.

This problem is only going to get worse. Thousands of Grand Valley residents are at risk of losing their SNAP benefits and healthcare in the next couple of months. Wages are stagnant and according to the City’s own data 55% of wage earners in Mesa County cannot afford rent on the free market. I’ll say it again, more than half of all workers don’t get paid enough to live here! In the coming months we are going to see a massive rise in the numbers of our coworkers, neighbors, and friends becoming unhoused. It’s going to happen.

I’m sorry the burden has fallen on your shoulders to do something, but the fact is nobody is going to swoop in and save us, we as a community will have to figure this out. Inaction is untenable. My hope is the City Council will follow the lead of the community which heroically raised $150,000 dollars to save the shelter. Some donated because of their compassion, but many others from a pragmatic point of view.

Whether it’s pragmatism or compassion that moves you, we must fund the North Avenue shelter, the human, social, and economic cost are simply too high not to step in and help Homeward Bound continue to provide this clearly essential social service for our community.

Dear Grand Junction City Council Members, I do not envy your position at this moment in history, the short-sighted and ultimately cruel policies of the Trump regime are starting to manifest into re…

| To all revolutionaries of the world, to all liberatory socialists, to all anarchists:

Today we mourn the martyrdom of our comrades in Al-Fashir who fell defending their city, their families, and themselves. They are:

• Faisal Adam Ali • Radwan Abdel Jabbar (“Kahraba”) • Adam Kibir Musa • Abdel Ghaffar Al-Tahir (“Al-Sini”)

We also mourn a number of volunteer youths who were killed by the terrorist Rapid Support Forces militia while their only “crime” was bringing food to the city’s residents.

We, in the Anarchist Group, call on comrades everywhere: the time has come to gather and stand with us against this destructive authoritarian war. We must raise awareness across the world about the mass extermination being carried out by the Rapid Support Forces militias — supported by the United Arab Emirates — which are turning their guns toward ethnic cleansing and genocide on racial grounds for the sake of vicious imperialist interests seeking to control resources and gold in exchange for blood. The world must not stand by and watch us in silence. Revolutionaries everywhere must know of our sacrifices and our struggle against savage capitalist terror, against the bloody authority, and against systematic ethnic cleansing.

We in the Anarchist Group in Sudan have lost comrades; some of our members were injured and some died; others face the imminent danger of war. Our families suffer from hunger, lack of medicine, and lack of food. We believed in anarchism in a land where authority is everywhere, and we fought to defend ourselves, our idea, and our unity. Today we need you — reach out your hands to us and stand with us so we can resist the authorities and the Janjaweed.

May the revolution endure — a poisoned dagger in the hearts of tyrants.

—Ali Abdel Moneim
Spokesperson of the Group

The mainstream press barely mention this. Americans have hardly any idea who their own country is bombing.

In theory the press are there to create an informed electorate who can then use their votes to move their government in a healthy direction. In practice the press are there to keep the public too ignorant, propagandized and distracted to meddle in the workings of the imperial machine.

What must be done!

We published this piece the day after the election in 2024.

We don't think ppl were ready to hear it in then, but now we have essentially lost a year of effective resistence, to hopes and prayers and emailing representitives.

We cannot afford to waste another year.

Even divine-right kings of old, ruled only by the consent of the governed. Meaning that we have always had the power, with or without elections and the other machinations of democracy. When we sit …

Where's his Red Hat?

Over the last decade Medicaid spending has risen at a rate of 8.8% a year — about double what the state government is allowed to spend under the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, according to the governor’s office

"There comes a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious that you can't take part. You can't even passively take part! and you've got to PUT YOUR BODY UPON THE GEARS and upon the wheels and you've got to MAKE IT STOP, and you've got to indicated to the people that run it, to the people who own it, that unless we are free, the machine will be prevent from working at all."
