Security Checkpoint Vandalized at Columbia University

Posted on by neversleep

April 30, 2025

Overnight, an autonomous group acted against Amerika’s repression of the Palestine movement. The group attacked one of Columbia University’s border checkpoints — structures created to surveil and suppress the student momvement. Security equipment was dismantled and stolen. Infrastructure was vandalized.

These checkpoints materially link Columbia to the zionist occupation through an identical colonial tactic: separating the hallowed “inside” from the criminalized “outside.” There are parallels in the way that resources are concentrated “inside”: the ill-gotten gains from Columbia’s rampant expansion across Harlem mirror the zionist entity’s desperate, vampiric attempts to transform and extract as much value from Palestinian people and land as possible. There are parallels in the way that the technologies and institutions used by ICE to surveil, kidnap, and traffic immigrants in the US — with the help of IOF-trained pigs — are used by Isr*el to murder Palestinians and Black and Brown people globally.

The U.S.-zionist empire is attempting to erase Palestinians and Palestine. It is our duty to act. Any instruments that further our repression will never be allowed peace.Free Palestine. Free all political prisoners. Glory to our martyrs. Abolish ICE.

Vandalism of Police Vehicles near Bronx SRG HQ

Posted on by neversleep

April 27, 2025

Earlier this week, a group of activists vandalized a line of police vehicles near the Strategic Response Group’s Bronx headquarters. The SRG is a notorious NYPD unit, trained by “Israel” and responsible for the violent repression and daily brutalization of all New Yorkers; most notably including scores of Palestine solidarity protesters in the past 18 months and Black Lives Matter activists in 2020.

We slashed their tires, smashed their windows, and sprayed their vehicles’ insides with paint, making them virtually unusable. In isolation, this act of resistance won’t do much to stop the relentless onslaught of state violence and repression our communities are facing. The NYPD owns thousands of vehicles and other property that are ripe for the picking. Join us! It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3: SLASH, SMASH, SPRAY!

Bloc up, stay safe, use discretion, and act now! Marches are not enough. Target unsurveilled areas, conceal your identity, and leave no trail for them to follow. They can’t catch us all. Fuck the police and free Palestine!

Tools used

Slash: ice pick
Smash: spring loaded center punch
Spray: fire extinguisher (1/3 paint, 1/3 water, 1/3 air)
Leather gloves, ski masks, black bloc. Always cover face and eyebrows during travel to and from actions.

Pig Snouts and Feet Scattered at 6th Precinct

Posted on by neversleep

April 23, 2025

6th precinct Manhattan – To honor the finest donut-eating pigs of the NYPD, we presented them with a generous gift of pig snouts and pig feet, scattered all over their car with a side of red paint. When they are not harassing the unhoused, beating up protestors, or shooting up subway stations, they are busy trading tips on genocide with their Zionist friends. Oh what would we do without these heroes! Maybe they deserve more gifts like these from more grateful New Yorkers?

Tires Punctured on Eight NYPD Cars at 88th Precinct

Posted on by neversleep

On Tuesday night [April 15] we punctured tires on 8 NYPD cars and sprayed “PIG” all over them at the 88th precinct right under their stupid noses. When the pigs are too complacent then collectively we are doing something wrong.

The 88th precinct is known for it’s tyrannical rule over both local community and new migrant neighbors. It famously collaborated with ICE during the 2020 George Floyd uprising by using ICE to guard their precinct building besieged by massive protests.

Five years later and where are we now? Every day another human being murdered in custody, through neglect or savage beatings. Robert Brooks and Messiah Nantwi. Five people have died at Rikers just this year. Two died in nyc holding cells just in the past month before even being arraigned.

Every day another neighbor disappeared into some far off prison, never to be seen again (look up CECOT). Every day another student kidnapped by ICE. Every day another community invaded by fascists demanding papers and hunting Black and Brown people for sport.

Every day another family incinerated by USA-made bombs in Palestine and Yemen.

When will it stop? We must come to a point where we realize that NOTHING WILL STOP if we don’t MAKE IT STOP. No amount of appealing to politicians, to cops, to institutions like Columbia, will help us. Let go of that, and we free ourselves.

The Empire must fall. Strike where you are, at whatever institution you can that upholds this whole stinking pile of dogshit. Every strike against the NYPD is a strike for communities both here and all over the world. May the strength of revolutionaries who have lived and died for liberation be with you.

Direct Action Against Magellan Aerospace

Posted on by neversleep

April 15, 2025

Last night, some people in NYC took direct action against Magellan Aerospace, a company which makes parts for Lockheed Martin F-35 jets and other death machines used by the American and Zionist regimes. Someone went inside the fence at the back of the building and slashed the tires of trucks at the loading area. Actionists also redecorated the building with paint. Free Palestine.

BROOKLYN JAIL STOP WORK ORDER

Posted on by neversleep

Since NYC power brokers have decided that they would rather build jails to lock up New Yorkers than invest in our communities, we’ve decided to issue our own stop work order on the Brooklyn jail construction site.

We clogged the locks of construction site entrances with cement, smashed their card readers, and locked the gates at multiple locations operated by the jail’s concrete supplier, SRM.

The $3 billion Brooklyn jail is part of the city’s $16 billion borough-based jails plan. In addition to Brooklyn, new jails are being built in Manhattan, Queens, and The Bronx. The city is propagating the lie that in order to to close Rikers by 2027, it needs to open four new jails. Given that the city has already admitted that it can’t meet its legally mandated deadline, that the building plans for these new jails already anticipate overcrowding, and that the number of people arrested by the NYPD has doubled since 2020, we’re calling their bluff. More cages won’t close Rikers or make our communities safer. If they build it, we will burn it!

We act in solidarity with abolitionists inside and outside of prison walls, with those who riot against corrections officers and ICE, and with those trying to save their family members state-sanctioned premature death. Every struggle against racism, fascism, zionism, colonialism, xenophobia, and cisheteropatriarchy must also be a struggle against the carceral state.

To the city: decarcerate now, and build affordable housing instead. Do something that will actually benefit our communities.

To SRM Concrete: drop your contract for the borough-based jails now.

To our fellow New Yorkers: join us in action and make your voices heard. No new jails. No more deaths at the hands of the state.

Tires Slashed on 30 NYPD Vehicles

Posted on by neversleep

Tires of 30 NYPD pigmobiles (aka the “American” wing of the IOF) have been slashed near 30th st and 6th ave in Manhattan on March 4.

No new Queens cop training facility, no new jails, no more police murders, no collaboration with deportation. Forever conflict with the security guards of wealth and genocide.

When you collaborate with ICE, your tires will collaborate with ice picks.

When fascist capitalists are making the tamest protests illegal, there’s no reason for anyone to stay tame. Hopefully cooler people start wasting oligarches and corrupt mayors.

Free Palestine, Free kidnapped migrant people, Free all prisoners, Free Luigi, Free them all.

Vigil for Hassan Nasrallah in the Heart of the Empire

Posted on by neversleep

Yesterday, in New York City and in conjunction with the historic funeral, where 1.5 million people participated in Beirut, a vigil was held to honor the revolutionary Hezbollah martyrs Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and Sayyed Hashem Safieddine. Alongside photographs of the martyred resistance leaders Yahya Sinwar, Ismail Haniyeh, and Qassem Soleimani, our gathering affirmed that millions around the world are mourning and celebrating leaders whose legacies have ignited indigenous resistance in Lebanon, Yemen, Iran, Iraq, Palestine, Syria, and beyond.

At the Beirut funeral, in a calculated attempt to undermine the gathering, Zionist warplanes flew at dangerously low altitudes directly over the attendees. This act of intimidation was designed to instill fear in those mourning at the funeral. Similarly, here in New York City—at the very heart of the empire—Zionist thugs, including those holding political office, attempted to silence our solidarity with the resistance through threats and intimidation. Yet, as one organizer declared:

“Their threats did nothing to weaken our resolve. We stand here unafraid. Repression does not silence us—it only breeds more resistance and fuels our determination to honor our martyrs.”

The indigenous peoples of the world continue to rise up, uniting against Zionist repression and imperial domination. Our stand in New York City not only reflects a steadfast commitment to remembering our late martyrs but also reinforces that no act of repression—whether in Beirut or the heart of the empire—can extinguish the flame of revolutionary struggle.

In the spirit of resistance, we joined millions worldwide—whether gathering in Beirut, Kargil, Ramallah, or in neighborhoods here in NYC—demonstrating that the struggle against imperialism and colonialism transcends borders and sectarian divisions. Our collective mobilization in the streets is proof that attempts at intimidation only forge stronger bonds among the oppressed, fueling our determination to dismantle Zionist colonialism and imperial terrorism.

Long live resistance.

Glory to the martyrs.

Brooklyn Navy Yard Painted Red

Posted on by neversleep

February 20, 2025, Lenapehoking

Last night, some people with consciences painted the front of Brooklyn Navy Yard red with fire extinguishers, and spray painted “Evict Easy Aerial” and “Evict Crye Precision” on its columns. Brooklyn Navy Yard houses Easy Aerial and Crye Precision, which make drones and equipment for the Zionist military, as well as the US military and the NYPD. They have no place in our city or our world. We act in support of Demilitarize Brooklyn Navy Yard. Their demands are the bare minimum, and painting is a relatively moderate action. Death to the war machine. Free Palestine. Free Turtle Island.
