An anonymous dispatch from some night owls

    We do not wish to mince words: if water is life, and if life is sacred, then we must fight as such. An over-reliance on representative action has left a community holding their breath wishing the other 3 data centers can be voted out of office. In light of this, we take stock of our capabilities to disrupt the construction. We have engaged in these actions in an effort to both raise awareness of the local threat of data centers and strike even a meager blow to everyday operations of a company we wish to deter. 

An anonymous transmission

Historical memory is often short on the left, but collective knowledge of the past is vitally important when it comes to  histories of repression and those who collaborate with the State against other factions of a movement–snitches.

In recent months, some comrades have noticed the reappearance of Jesus Mares in cultural and activist spaces around Austin. This was a shock to those of us who have not seen Jesus in the 7 years since he disappeared from movement spaces after collaborating with the State. In good faith, we presume that the people inviting or hosting him in these spaces are unaware of his history of snitching. Some of us who remember have collaborated to document and share this history, so that our movements may act with better information to insulate our spaces from the risks that Jesus’s presence poses.
