Submitted by Luke on Wed, 09/13/2023 - 02:43

The decades-long fight to shut down Huntingdon Life Sciences may finally have a decisive ending. This is somewhat old news but is not well known: After Fortress dumped HLS under pressure from SHAC and DC-based DARRT, HLS barely survived. They merged in 2015 with two other companies into a new firm called Envigo, with a new lab in Cumberland, Va. In summer 2022, that lab was finally forced to stop their animal testing.

Opponents of Cop City(Atlanta) reply to indictments with hard lockdown stopping construction

Submitted by Luke on Thu, 09/07/2023 - 18:46

On the 7th of September, the Atlanta community sent a "fuck you, Russian warship!" style message to the prosecutors behind the Sep 5 grand jury indictments of 61 heroes for opposing the project. Activists invaded the construction site and locked down to bulldozers while passing motorists honked at a support rally. This is a real "put up or shut up" moment, and activists just "put up" in a very big way.

Neo-Nazi "Blood Tribe" and "Goyim Defense League" terrorise Altamont near Orlando, FL

Submitted by Luke on Sun, 09/03/2023 - 02:24

On the 2nd of September, hard Nazi groups Blood Tribe and GDL never made it into Orlando proper, instead terrorizing people in Crane's Beak Park near their staging area where they left their cars. The walk to Orlando was too much for these "store bought tridents" to consider. Black Lives Matter marches in DC have sometimes walked over 10 miles, neo-Nazi losers apparently are not up for this.

Submitted by Luke on Fri, 09/01/2023 - 20:25

On the 1st of September, protesters gathered at the N Orange Ave office of the Orange County area's state prosecutor. Protesters called out new prosecutor Andrew Bain's extreme right, racist, transphobic, and homophobic agenda of hate. This agenda is being imposed on Orlando over the objection of voters, who did NOT choose Andrew Bain. It is the Federalist Society and DeSantis who selected (NOT elected) Bain.
