The shooting in San Diego is not just another episode of gun violence. It is part of the joint terror campaign that the Trump administration and its supporters are waging against us from both within the state and outside it.

Ben Morea has passed away. Known for his participation in Up Against the Wall Motherfucker, the self-styled “street gang with an analysis” active in the Lower East Side of Manhattan in the late 1960s, he withdrew from the city and pursued a path into revolutionary animism. In this visionary eulogy, Tasos Sagris of Void Network recounts Ben’s subsequent visit to Exarchia, the Athenian neighborhood famed as a hotbed of anarchism.
Today, the Exarchia that Tasos describes has also changed. To mourn a single person is to mourn an entire vanished world. Yet, as Tasos explores, there is a silver thread that connects Ben’s life and the legacy of Exarchia to our own present and possible future.

It is important to remember that this occurred—above all, because the Israeli government continues to perpetrate genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon, but also because centrists have dishonestly claimed that protests in solidarity with Gaza halted when Trump took office. They didn't.
As the genocide continues today, it is important to continue to pressure war profiteers directly rather than hoping that politicians will put an end to it for us. They won't.
