Brooklyn Navy Yard #5: Drop Crye Precision!

Posted on by neversleep

After being hit 4 times in 2025, Brooklyn Navy Yard stationed a security guard in a van in front of the entrance. They’re trying to deter action because they can’t ignore it, so we made this obstacle an opportunity. While we sprayed the building with red paint, we slashed a couple tires and smashed the building’s windows to amplify our message: Drop Crye Precision and all military contractors!

It is extremely overwhelming to watch ICE kidnap and kill our neighbors, while the US and israel bomb our people in Lebanon, Iran, and Palestine, all at once. Watching missiles finally hit israel is not even enough. We can’t just sit by, we must take action here in the imperial core! We haven’t slashed tires or smashed windows before this, but it is very doable! And Brooklyn Navy Yard is enabling and funding all the forever wars, at home and abroad, with publicly funded subsidies. Let’s build on the victory against Easy Aerial and keep the momentum going to get Crye Precision out!

DROP CRYE PRECISION NOW: Early this morning, a group of autonomous actionists targeted the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The city-owned complex still has an active lease with Crye Precision, a company that supplies the IOF and ICE with uniforms and tactical gear to carry out genocide abroad and kidnapping, raids, and murders in our communities. The actionists smashed windows and sprayed the facade with their demand: “DROP CRYE NOW.”

Outfitted in Crye Precision gear, US and israeli imperialists are escalating their reign of terror in Palestine, Iran, and Lebanon. As they continue to slaughter and displace Palestinian communities, they’re now bombing oil depots in Tehran, taking lives and covering the city in fire and toxic rain—a deadly act of chemical warfare with disastrous long-term effects. With New Yorkers’ tax dollars subsidizing this genocide supplier, we have a moral obligation not only to demand BNY terminate Crye’s lease, but to act in service of that demand until we force them out.

This necessary action comes on the heels of the historic eviction of drone manufacturer Easy Aerial, whose contract was not renewed on February 11, 2026. This victory proves that organized, consistent, strategic, multi-tactic campaigns are capable of enacting the will of the people. We must continue to fight, by any and all means necessary, until BNY drops Crye, until we shut down the supply chain of genocide, until the end of US imperialism and zionism and the liberation of the oppressed people of the world.

Report from the NYC Anti-Surveillance Corps, MTA Division

Posted on by neversleep

The other night, some friends went and disabled a few of those pesky facial recognition cameras that the MTA has been putting up in subway stations around town. It was very easy, very quick, and very fun! These cameras are connected using Cat6 cables (which are low voltage and safe for anyone to cut). The cabling is encased in electrical conduit which is often connected together with connecting joints that can be opened with a screwdriver, so you don’t have to stand anywhere near the camera to disable it, just open up one of the connectors and cut. Yay!

This is just one way to mess with these cameras. We hope people try out others. A downside of this one is that the cameras are still intact and appear to be functional to passersby, which will still cause people to regulate their behavior. We believe that surveillance has a deadening psychological effect even on people who would never do anything illegal. Disable the cameras, clean up the city, keep everyone free – it’s a public service.

We’re not sure what the timeline is like for servicing the cams. They seem to be installed by an external contractor and the work has to be scheduled, so it’s conceivable that it could take a while or that surveillance mitigation efforts could keep pace with repair work in some locations.

It’s worth noting that we’re living through a historically specific surveillance boom. Of course authorities have always installed infrastructure to surveil and control people, but cameras weren’t always so ubiquitous and they don’t have to be ubiquitous forever. A few years ago, the MTA was a system that “supposedly” or ostensibly had security cameras installed in various locations, but it was so infrequent that it wasn’t really a thing people thought about, and many of them apparently didn’t work. We could get to that again! Sadly, we rarely see authorities willingly dismantle their own infrastructure, but it does fall into disrepair all the time – on its own or with help. <3

Brooklyn Navy Yard Redecorated Again

Posted on by neversleep

Brooklyn Navy Yard has been redecorated for the 4th time this year. Decorators visited late on Tuesday night, the 38th anniversary of the First Intifada, which was the night before the December 10 board meeting, and @demilitarizebklynnavyyard’s weekly picket and noise demo.

SHUT DOWN EASY AERIAL AND CRYE PRECISION!
They supply IOF, ICE, NYPD, and all US Armed Forces.

WAR PROFITEERS OUT OF BROOKLYN!
Brooklyn Navy Yard is city land! Zohran’s name is about to be on the welcome board 🤭.

FREE PALESTINE!
The ceasefire is a lie! israel’s still striking Gaza and West Bank daily!

FUCK ICE!
The Gestapo is kidnapping and tearing apart families!

Thanksgiving Banner Drops

Posted on by neversleep

An autonomous group dropped a banner as the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade began on Central Park West in New York City today. Its message, NO THANKS FOR COLONIALISM, NO FORGIVENESS FOR GENOCIDE, hung along the route for the duration of the parade, a crack in the highly surveilled and commercialized spectacle of colonial amnesia. At the same time, across the bridge in Brooklyn, another autonomous group dropped a banner from the BQE, reading FUCK YOUR TURKEY, LAND BACK—a moment of confrontation for people driving upstate for their business-as-usual Thanksgiving celebrations. 

This land is watered by blood, and every harvest reaped is the result of genocide. Fuck Thanksgiving, a nation-wide whitewashing of the holocaust carried out by European colonizers against millions of indigenous people, in the name of a nation that gorges itself on murder and plunder every day. From Plymouth Rock to Palestine, no forgiveness for genocide. 

A banner will not weaken our enemies, but working together on actions like these can make us stronger in the protracted struggle for life free of the settler state. Far bolder action is necessary. Those who seek to end colonial and imperialist domination are honing their ability to carry out collective action in clandestinity. And they are looking for friends. Together we willdestroy this empire.

for educational purposes only!

do not try this at home! an ice pick is faster, quieter, and easier than you might think. volume up to hear it. wear gloves. you can do this! we were scared too, we didn’t know how ’til we tried, but it’s actually very basic. you don’t have to be an anarchist. we’re just regular people sick of watching nypd and ice brutalize people, watching crowds surround a vehicle and nobody doing anything. we’ve seen reports of it done recently in chicago, north carolina, and rochester, NY. come on NYC, this is the least we can do! scared to try in broad daylight? try it at night. as always, take the appropriate precautions to cover yourself and your tracks, e.g. see the shoe prints in the snow? don’t do that, toss the shoes if you do.

Two Actions Against the New York Times

    NEW YORK TIMES IS STARVING GAZA

    JOE KAHN LIES, GAZA DIES

    JOE KAHN LIES, GAZA DIES

    Julius Sebastian Streicher was the first member of the Nazi regime to be convicted of crimes against humanity at the Nuremberg Tribunal in 1946. His crime? Founding the newspaper Der Stürmer and publishing vitriolic, racist propaganda that helped incite a genocide. For this, he was executed by hanging.

    Joe Kahn, the executive editor of The New York Times, is responsible for publishing the single most damaging piece of atrocity propaganda since October 7, 2023: “Screams Without Words,” a famously debunked article that relies on racist tropes and zionist hasbara to smear Palestinian resistance fighters as rapists. Hailed by Kahn as a “signature piece” and entered into multiple journalism competitions, this falsified investigation has been cited by U.S. lawmakers to justify U.S. support for the ongoing genocide. This is the legacy of Joe Kahn: publishing lies that are parroted by imperial puppets in corrupt governments the world over and touted as fact, enabling mass weapons shipments and reinforcing anti-Palestinian sentiment that propels the genocide and mass starvation of Gaza. After the claims of the piece were exposed as false, Kahn directed what the president of the NewsGuild of New York described as a “racially targeted witch hunt,” harassing and intimidating Arab and Middle Eastern employees in an attempt to identify the whistleblowers who revealed their lies.

    The pages of the New York Times drip with the rhetoric of genocide accomplices and apologists. Times editors, executives, and journalists have proven themselves to be the bedfellows of the Zionist regime, benefiting from and profiting off of the atrocities their lies enable. To run media cover for U.S. imperial interests is to support and legitimize genocide, and to serve as a cog in the well-oiled war machine. To publish known lies is to abet the laundry list of Zionist war crimes. Those who commit such malpractice are not journalists; they are genocide propagandists, and their hands are stained red by the crimes that they incite, defend, and obscure.  Words have power, and we will hold the genocidaires of the so-called “free press” accountable.

    JOE KAHN, YOU CAN’T HIDE
