If you are in immediate need of evacuation due to flooding, DO NOT GO INTO YOUR ATTIC. YOU WILL DROWN. Get on your roof and tweet to the @USCoastGuard or call 281-464-4851. 911 is overloaded and cannot take any new calls.

DO. NOT. GO. INTO. YOUR. ATTIC. 

If you’re outside of Houston, have a watercraft and want to help, call the coast guard at 281-464-4851. They’ll coordinate rescue efforts with you.

If you’re outside of Houston and want to help, PLEASE consider the 700K animals who died in Katrina and donate to the Humane Society or the SPCA.

Please consider the disabled, the elderly and special needs folks who are most likely unable to get somewhere due to financial or health reasons. PORTLIGHT.ORG is the BEST resource for rescue and assistance in the country.

I’ve been checking in with my Houston friends (and my Buddhist monks) and it’s terrifying. And the rain won’t stop until LABOR DAY.

Please. If you can, help. We’re on our f*cking own as a people. We need to help one another.

DO NOT WASTE TIME WITH THE RED CROSS. Focus on charities that DIRECTLY HELP HOUSTON/SURROUNDING AREAS.

• DirectRelief.org is the #1, most reputable charity. Again, PORTLIGHT.ORG is so f*cking crucial, I can’t even stress that enough.
  
• George Brown convention center
  
• is serving as a storm shelter.
  
• Consider donating blood to Carter Blood Care
  
• National Guard for evacuation/help: 713-578-3000
  
• What Houston SPECIFICALLY is asking for (how to help)
  

I’ve heard word that the Cajun Navy is out in Dickenson:

“To share with your TX friends:

Emergency #: Call (713)578-3000.
281-464-4854 ext 55.
281-464-4855
281-464-4856
Please use the above numbers for Coast Guard response in the Houston area.

Also the Cajun Navy is deploying to Dickenson first. To notify the Cajun Navy that you need rescue, go to Cajun Navy 2016 and enter the following info.
# people, ages, disabilities
full address and contact number and how much water in house.

Please share this information.”

let’s not kid ourselves. if jews desecrated a christian cemetery, there would be riots. jews would get murdered. but because it’s a jewish cemetery there is no uproar. the world could care less.

belarus is doing this shit for apartments. they’re disturbing jewish gravesites for apartments. karma is a fucking bitch and I hope they get to experience it in full force because this? this is beyond despicable.

Gentrification creates a stifling homogeneity in urban areas that makes it less suited for the everyday lives of the lower class and more suited towards the leisure and tourism of those with expendable income.

An old, decrepit laundromat gets replaced by an upscale bakery? And people are mad? It’s not that the poor hate organic vegan cupcakes, it’s that most of us don’t have a way to do laundry in our own home.

Run-down corner stores replaced by hand-made designer clothing boutiques? We don’t hate your eco-fabric shawl, but I can’t eat that for dinner after work like I could have a can of beans I grabbed from that corner store when I don’t have time to take the bus to the real grocery store after work.

What gentrification brings in and of itself is not typically bad, it’s that gentrification brings institutions of leisure and pleasure and makes it so that the poor have to go farther out of their way for basic necessities. It turns low-income living spaces into local tourist attractions. It can even create food deserts by putting restaurants, grocery stores, etc. in that the majority of the lower class cannot afford.

Imagine if someone totally renovated your house and turned it into a mini theme park - they took away your sleeping space, where you prepare food, where you clean yourself and get ready for your day, and replaced it with things that will please people who are visiting, who have their own homes they can go back to, who are here not for their entire life but just as a distraction from their otherwise mundane existence. It’s not that you hate theme parks, it’s not like you’ve never been to a theme park and vow to never visit one again. It’s just that you need to live! To survive! And the leisure of those who have more than you should not invalidate your existence.

I am glad this has made the rounds. Some people feel a dense misunderstanding or misinterpretation concerning gentrification, and I think it helps to hear a description/explanation of what gentrification is from those who are both affected by it and educated by the culture from which it hails. I and many others enjoy some of the delights of gentrification while simultaneously having their livelihoods threatened by it.

ACAB. A common slogan spray-painted on bridges and shouted at actions. It means “All Cops Are Bastards”, and it goes beyond the not-so-recent spate of police brutality against black folks. All cops are bastards because all cops, every single one, enforces oppression for a living. They volunteered to be the footsoldiers of capitalism and hierarchy in our society. Why can’t we simply walk into our shop one day and tell our boss to fuck off, and seize the means of production in one fell swoop? Because the boss will call the cops, and the cops will come and enforce the boss’s domination over us. That’s all property really is; a property deed is just a receipt that can be redeemed for violence.

So it’s hardly surprising that in Charlottesville the pigs continued their pattern of defending white supremacists. The fascists showed up armed and looking for a brawl, and the cops’ backs were fully turned to them; there was no question about who they were protecting.

Now, the Charlottesville rally today outnumbered the fascists by a solid ten to one. Had they been alone, the enemy would’ve been lucky to have been simply run out of town. But when confronting the fascists, we must always remember to include the cops in their ranks. And while we have numbers, the cops have resources.

Wars are won by logistics. This is the most basic fact of military science; modern warfare fundamentally comes down to logistics. If you want to be an effective fighting force you must maintain the supply chains necessary to continue fighting–you need to always have enough beans, bullets, and band-aids to carry on. This, combined with the above, led me to an epiphany: if we want to effectively fight fascism, we must attack police logistics. We must drain them at every opportunity. We must frustrate, as best we can, every attempt by the police to maintain their ability to do violence. Every dollar spent replacing smashed cruiser windshields is a dollar that can’t be spent on tear gas or rubber bullets or pig salaries.

And the best part is that, for the guerrilla, this is by far the easiest way to engage the enemy. Supply chains are, by their nature, very hard to secure, meaning that an attacker almost always has the advantage. It can be little things–dropping homemade caltrops in front of a parked cruiser, smashing up police cars as they sit in their lot at night, a midnight raid to spray-paint over CCTV cameras, escalating up to traffic stop de-arrests and Molotovs in the precinct windows. In these situations we have the advantage. During the protest, the cops are armed, armored, and organized; during the workday, they’re unprepared and spread thin.

In the words of insurrectionary anarchist Alfred M. Bonnano, “It’s easy. You can do it by yourself, or with a bunch of trusted comrades. You don’t need to have great means or technical competence. Capital is vulnerable, if you are only determined to act.”
