To the Palestinian Resistance,
To the student uprisings,
To all those who struggle for liberation,
We took a strike against Caterpillar for their complicity in the settler colonial state, the Zionist regime, that has wreaked havoc on the lives of Palestinians for decades.
Today we struck several Caterpillar heavy machines as they lay dormant overnight, preventing them from working the next day.
Caterpillar decidedly chose a side by supplying the IOF with bulldozers as early as 1956 for use in the Sinai War and to this day they have not wavered from this position. During the Al-Aqsa Flood Battle the armored D9 bulldozer, which is a Caterpillar product, has been used in countless attacks against the Palestinian Resistance and people. In the early 2000’s during the Second Intifada, the Zionist regime demolished over 3,000 Palestinian homes, and murdered US activist Rachel Corrie in Rafah. The D9’s were used in the Battle of Jenin to destroy houses with fighters inside and raze the center of the Jenin refugee camp. During the Gaza War in 2008, 100 bulldozers were used to destroy Palestinian homes. In 2022, the D9’s demolished eight Palestinian villages in Masafer Yatta in yet another example of the long running Zionist genocidal project.
The Palestinian Resistance has renewed its struggle at the end of last year, fighting successfully to push the occupation out of Gaza and deploying clever tactics against a highly militarized enemy. The D9’s were brought out by the IDF once again to destroy farmland, desecrate a burial ground, to attack the Kamal Adwan Hospital, crushing the people who had been sheltering inside.
Caterpillar is clearly an agent and symbol of terror. We strike against it today to show our solidarity with those whose lives have been taken by the Caterpillar D9 armored bulldozer. Since Caterpillar has joined the war, it can face attacks on any terrain. We strike at Caterpillar today to show our solidarity with and appreciation for the Palestinian fighters who have provided an inspiration for freedom fighters around the world.
Finally, living in the United States, the main supporter and funder of Zionist settler colonialism, it is our duty to become a thorn in its side. It cannot dispense terror half way around the globe and expect to continue without repercussions.

we celebrated tort’s birthday by smashing all the omny readers and metrocard machines at a subway station in brooklyn. it was a fun and simple way to make this city pay for upping its efforts to police homeless people, black people and palestine solidarity protestors. in addition to gathering data on subway riders, omny’s parent company cubic sells hundreds of millions of dollars in surveillance tech to the “us” military and other militaries around the world. from nyc to gaza our enemies are the same. we know tort would agree.
Viva Tortuguita!

On Friday 4/26, we left the APD pigs a gift to remember in the Brooklyn Marriott where they were trying to recruit more pigs. How dare you show your face in our city!
APD out of NYC! All cops are bastards! No cop city anywhere!

APD we don’t want your shit! We clogged the vile Atlanta Police Department’s hiring event space’s toilets with cement to let them, and the Marriott at Brooklyn Bridge, know that every time you recruit in NYC we will make you and the places that host you pay. For over 30 years APD has been training soldiers in Israel. That brutality was on full display at Emory this week and we say no more. Free Palestine! Tortuguita vive, la luche sigue! Stop Cop City!

WALL ST FUNDS GENOCIDE!
CHASE BANK HAS BLOOD ON ITS HANDS!
FUCK WALL ST!
FUCK CHASE!
Initiating the global call for an economic blockade on April 15, early in the morning of Sunday, April 14, an autonomous group of anti-capitalist/anti-imperialist anarchists targeted multiple Chase Bank locations for its investments in Elbit Systems and the zionist entity in large — Chase Bank is the 6th largest stockholder in the weapons manufacturer creating the tools of mass destruction for the genocide in Gaza. Through concentrating efforts around Wall St., which WOL is marching on this Monday, we target those with the most blood money invested in the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.
Actionists sprayed red blood paint on the front facade of the bank, spray-painted messages reading “FUNDS GENOCIDE”, “DROP ELBIT” and “FREE GAZA,” chained up the front doors to the bank and sealed them shut with spray foam. Heeding the call for an economic blockade, actionists locked up the bank to block the money invested in death. Chase Bank is closed on Sundays, and by locking up the doors, actionists were able to close down the sole entrance to the bank. NYPD scrambled to take down the chains and foam to make the storefront palatable to its money hungry Wall Street patrons, but Chase Bank is still stained blood red.
NO TO BANKS! Chase accumulates wealth from stealing from the oppressed, and uses that money to fund the killing of the colonized. NO TO WALL ST! and We say NO to the stock exchaange market, where people invest in genocide of Palestinians by investing their money in weapon manufacturers. FUCK BANKS! FUCK CHASE! FUCK MONEY!
FREE PALESTINE!
LONG LIVE PALESTINE!
DEATH TO CAPITALISM

OMNY MACHINES SMASHED, CAMERAS AND CARD READERS DISABLED AT MIDTOWN MANHATTAN STATION
We struck at the heart of midtown Manhattan where the State tries so hard to maintain their illusion of fascist control. We broke your pitiful OMNY machines, disabled your cameras, and glued your card readers right under Eric Adams and Kathy Hochul’s noses. We did our own subway maintenance with hammers, a little spray paint, and some super glue. Evade! Beat the fare! Fuck your $2.90! We reject the National Guard deployed in our city and subways. We reject the surge of NYPD in our subways and anywhere. We reject the State’s tax on free movement and fare enforcement that disproportionately targets Black and Brown communities. We reject the State’s fascist surveillance through OMNY and any new technology used to control the People.Fuck the Empire, Free Palestine! The same military, police, and surveillance tech they test out through genocide in Palestine they will also bring here to track, oppress, and lock us up. Borders are fake, and so are turnstiles. Join us in striking them down!

Early in the morning on Wednesday, March 27, pro-Palestine anarchists struck a RE/MAX office in Park Slope to commemorate Palestine Land Day, a day to resist against land theft and settler colonial policies. They covered the facade in red paint to show the blood on the company’s hands, sprayed the security cameras and jammed the locks to ensure that the office will not go on with business as usual.The real estate company RE/MAX was founded in the US, an empire predicated on settler-colonial land theft, and since 1995, the company has operated a franchise in “israel”. For over 10 years, RE/MAX israel has been selling homes to colonizers in israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, including Ariel, Ma’aleh Adumim, and Givat Ze’ev, generating millions of dollars in profits. The facilitation and profiting off of the displacement of Indigenous Palestinians by the israeli branch directly benefits RE/MAX LLC.Here in the “US”, RE/MAX also engages in displacement and gentrification, by inflating the cost of housing and property taxes in BIPOC and working class communities. RE/MAX and other complicit real estate agencies will continue to be targeted until they stop selling stolen land to settlers.

A communiqué, also sometimes called a reportback or hit report, is a report on (typically) illegal direct actions that is shared online via counter-info sites or in print publications. Mainstream media may suppress reporting about certain tactics or the reason for choosing a target may be unclear, so submitting a communiqué is a way to share news, tactics, and political motivations directly.This guide describes how to securely submit an anonymous communiqué online. It is written for anarchists, but could be useful to other audiences like journalists or dissident groups sharing information while concealing their identities. While some communiqués are signed by a group or individual claiming responsibility, this guide focuses on anonymity.
Nothing you do on computers or the internet is ever totally safe, but you can reduce most technology-based risk by following some simple steps. There are many methods beyond those shared here, but this is a set of instructions that will hopefully help you.

TIRES PUNCTURED ON 10 NYPD VEHICLES AND 2 NYPD BUSES VANDALIZED AT BROOKLYN PRECINCT IN TORTUGUITA’S HONOR
In the wee hours of the night during the week of 2/18, some feral flying forest squirrels descended upon a precinct in the heart of Brooklyn. With caution and courage, they left the scene quickly, leaving behind the sound of escaping air and blood red lettering on the side of two NYPD buses reading;
“For Tort”
10 NYPD vehicles were left with punctured tires.
As these vessels are primarily used to cage and transport prisoners, protestors, and those who live in friction with genocide and empire, it is clear that these vehicles needed to be taken out. But there are many more… Stay sharp, fellow beings of the forest! Our grief and rage are hard and heavy, but there are openings where we can hold it as a stone to sharpen the claws we have.
Viva viva Tortuguita!

“A Brooklyn precinct parking lot. The red symbolizes the blood on the hands of the US empire as it funnels weapons and money to “Israel” to carry out genocide against Palestinians. NYPD=IDF=KKK
