On November 2, 3 years 5 months since the colonized and enslaved masses of these lands brought the u.s.a. to its knees, the local administrators of settlerism in occupied Mni Sota Makoce–city council of so-called ‘minneapolis’–voted to approve a replacement site for the 3rd Precinct.
Located half a mile away from that fateful intersection where a three-day siege ended in beautiful triumph over the anti-Black pig power structure, the new precinct, at 2633 Minnehaha Ave, is being rebranded as a “Community Safety Center.”
Inspired by BRB on the west coast, Anti-Colonial Action Brigade (ACAB) paid a visit to the site early morning November 6. We tagged the building with ‘MNI SOTA TO GAZA,’ ‘OFF THE PIGS,’ ‘ALL COPS ARE BASTARDS,’ ‘FREE PALESTINE,’ ‘UPRISING 2 INTIFADA,’ ‘FUCK THE POLICE,’ FUCK ZIONISM,’ ‘FUCK 12,’ ‘DEATH TO AMERIKA,’ and smashed one window.
This small action should serve as a reminder and a warning that the rebels, insurgents, and looters of 2020 are still out there. The anonymous lumpen/prole rage of the oppressed may seem pacified for the moment, but all it takes is a single spark. Like Cop City, if they build it, we will burn it. Any attempt at construction will be met with destruction.
And finally, we are hoping to begin applying what we have learned from the Palestinian Resistance. What they have done in elevating anti-colonial struggle is both new and very familiar. Al-Aqsa Flood does not merely resemble the formidable traditions and histories of Indigenous and Afrikan resistance in this hemisphere. It has the potential to revitalize a living practice of militant attack from below, a total uncompromising hostility towards this genocidal settler empire.
When we look at it like that, Palestine is not so distant. Their war is our war. Death to zionism means death to amerika means death to the entire neo-colonial strangehold on the Third World.
With the prison break and guerrilla attack of October 7, the Palestinian Resistance has offered up a simple yet timeless lesson, brought to us through the blood of their martyrs over decades of protracted war: slaveholder-settler society must never know ‘safety.’
Whether in Palestine or in occupied Turtle Island, there is truly only one solution: Intifada, Revolution.
