Banner Drop in Williamsburg

Banner drop in williamsburg, brooklyn, ny, covering an apple iphone 16 billboard. apple is complicit in genocide in Palestine and Congo. Read the communiqué:

We begin with a reminder: October 7th was a prison break. Down with the zionist entity!

The ruling class & political pawns of the so-called “United States of America” continue their unconditional funding & arming of the zionist entity, which is murdering and injuring hundreds of thousands of people in its attacks on occupied Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen. Here on Turtle Island, militarized Amerikkkan cops unleash death and depravity, as well, from the lynching of Khaliifah Ibn Rayford Daniels ‘Abdul-Quddus, to the NYPD’s mass shooting aboard the L-train at Sutter Ave, to the murders of Sonya Massey, Victoria Lee, and far too many other victims of state violence. Both genocidal settler colonies — the “US” and “israel” — commit wanton slaughter with impunity.

The Palestinian struggle up to and including October 7th demonstrates that the only way forward against this brutal oppression is resistance by any means necessary. We must all rise up in the belly of the beast to do our part in dismantling empire.

Expect more! This is only the beginning. Free Palestine. Free all people from empire. From New York to Jenin, Missouri to Lebanon, intifada until victory!

Morning Picket at Home of Rebecca Weiner

Anonymous submission: The movement for a free Palestine can not and will not be locked behind or shut out by campus gates. Inside campus, outside campus — Palestine is in all of us and there will be no escape for manufacturers of genocide until Palestine is free. THIS MORNING, on the anniversary of the glorious Al-Aqsa Flood, Columbia’s top cop 🐷👮‍♀️ Rebecca Weiner was visited by her very own wake-up picket at 7:30 AM, at her residence in Brooklyn.

Weiner is NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Counterterrorism and their liaison in “Tel Aviv.” She boasts about receiving hourly updates from the NYPD’s own office in occupied Palestinian land, underscoring the financial and ideological ties between the IOF and the Amerikan police.

She was commended by Eric Adams for spearheading the brutal arrests of three hundred pro-Palestine protestors at Columbia University, including the use of live ammunition, a BearCat tank, and flash bangs grenades on protestors inside Hind’s Hall.

In May 2023, Wiener was appointed to Columbia’s School of International and Public Affairs, cementing the ties between the NYPD, the IOF, and the moneyed universities which, behind their closely surveilled gates, launder the despicable crimes of the imperial core.

Our demand is not “no cops on campus;” our demand is TEAR DOWN THE GATES. No more gentrification and policing in New York City to protect the garish strongholds of Amerikan empire; no more cops period; fuck your $2.90.

Weiner proudly boasts about her family ties to the Manhattan project. Her grandfather, Stanislaw Ulam, was one of the developers of the atomic bo

mb- tested on stolen Navajo land and used to slaughter and maim millions of Japanese civilians over generations.

No matter where you go, Palestine is everywhere. No cowardly Columbia University administrator, trustee, or faculty member will know peace while materially supporting the genocide and slaughter of Palestinian people.

Armed robbers in Mercedes steal nearly $200K in jewelry across NYC

Armed robbers in a Mercedes-Benz have stolen nearly $200,000 in jewelry during a weeks-long crime spree targeting people on the streets of three New York City boroughs.

No serious injuries were reported in the eight robberies, which stretch back to early September and span Queens, Brooklyn and the Bronx. In total, more than $190,000 worth of jewelry was reported stolen.

The latest robbery linked to the pair was early Monday morning in Rego Park, Queens, where a 36-year-old man was mugged at gunpoint at 95th Street and 62nd Drive shortly after 1 a.m. The suspects tried to steal his watch, but he fought back and they fled empty-handed in the Mercedes, police said.

Just two hours before that robbery, the pair targeted a 63-year-old man on Bell Boulevard in Oakland Gardens, Queens, punching him repeatedly in the face and stealing his wallet, police said.

The duo has also been linked to the robbery of a 47-year-old man on the Horace Harding Expressway in Douglaston, Queens, on the evening of Sept. 18. They stole his $20,000 watch, police said.

And on Sept. 15, they allegedly robbed a 33-year-old man of his $10,000 watch on McDonald Avenue in Gravesend, Brooklyn.

They even stormed into a 54-year-old man’s house in South Ozone Park on the evening of Sept. 13, cops said, but ultimately fled without stealing anything.

Their largest haul was on the morning of Sept. 12, when they allegedly robbed a 25-year-old man of his $90,000 watch and $200 cash in the Concourse section of the Bronx.

They also tried to break into a residence in the South Bronx on Sept. 5 by smashing a window with a rock, but they were unsuccessful, police said.

The first robbery linked to them was on the night of Sept. 3, when a 32-year-old man was robbed of a $70,000 necklace in Auburndale, Queens.

Activists target Brooklyn home of NYPD cop they say aggressively handled protest

Activists targeted the Brooklyn home of an NYPD cop, accusing him of aggressively handling a protest over a police-involved shooting in a Brooklyn subway station a day earlier.

The protesters showed up at the cop’s home in Sunset Park about 9:45 p.m. Monday and began yelling at him from the sidewalk after spotting him on his front porch.

“We want justice! We want Justin!” the protesters screamed, using the cop’s first name after he retreated into his home.

The officer called 911 as the protesters set fire to an American flag and threw objects at the aluminum-sided home. When on-duty cops arrived, the crowd quickly dispersed and no arrests were made, officials said.

The NYPD’s Threat Assessment Unit was notified of the protest at the officer’s home and cops have been sitting outside his house keeping watch since Monday, a police source said.

On Sunday, the targeted officer, who joined the NYPD in January 2023, helped handle a protest outside 73rd Precinct stationhouse over the Sept. 15 subway shooting that left four wounded, including a fellow officer, by police bullets.

An activist who felt the officer was overly aggressive in his response to the stationhouse protest took a picture of him. No arrests were made at the Sunday night protest.

“An individual took a photo of an officer and posted their personal address on social media,” an NYPD spokesman said. The targeted officer was not part of the Sept. 15 subway incident.

In a social media video, one of the protesters who showed up outside the cop’s home recaps the incident, accusing the targeted officer of being “very aggressive” against protesters the day before, saying the officer “put his hands” on a few of them outside the stationhouse.

“You all shot the subway up — we didn’t do it. Now we’re going to start doing house visits to everyone in that goddamn (police) station. It’s all about making them feel it. It’s all about making them scared of us. It’s all about making them quit their f—ing job.”

FREE FARE: Bedford L train station smashed

Monday night at the Bedford Ave L train station in Brooklyn, we smashed 8 OMNY readers, 1 OMNY machine, and 2 MTA machines. We made the fare FREE because they had to open the emergency door to let people in. This is in direct response to the L train mass shooting committed by NYPD, when they shot Derrel Mickells and two bystanders over $2.90, in a Black neighborhood under militarized police occupation. New Yorkers say enough is enough and fuck your fare.

We live in a world in which the pig enforcers of racial capitalism can casually shoot us over a few dollars. All our lives especially Black lives are worth less than $2.90 to them. Whether it’s paying the pigs to menace Black and Brown communities and restrict movement, for funding genocide near and far, or creating technology to convenience the rich and confine the poor, capitalism is designed to kill.

This is a call to action. Anyone can do this. Gather info, plan well, be covered, be their nightmare. Let’s all smash! Puncture the walls of the techno-prison and see real light, breathe real air, and destory the fare!

Police Shooting In NYC Subway Injures NYPD Officer, 2 Bystanders

New York City Police fired shots in a Brooklyn subway station while pursuing a person they suspected of fare evasion, injuring the man along with an NYPD officer and two bystanders.

Around 3 p.m. Sunday, two NYPD officers followed a 37-year-old man to the platform at the Sutter Avenue station in the eastern part of the borough after observing that he did not pay the subway fare.

The man reportedly refused to stop on the platform after police asked him to stop.

NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey said at a press conference that the individual told officers, “I’m going to kill you if you don’t stop following me.” Maddrey added that the police then “become aware that he has a knife in his pocket.”

The officers followed the man onto a northbound train that had arrived in the station. According to police, after the man refused orders from the officers to come with them, they used a Taser on him twice.

The individual then moved back onto the platform and advanced towards one of the officers with his knife. Both officers drew their weapons, fired multiple rounds and then handcuffed the man, who was on the ground. At that point, one of the officers noticed he had been hit by a bullet, as well as the indivudal and other bystanders.

Detectives reviewed video footage from the incident and determined that it’s possible that a bullet ricocheted off of the inside of the train and hit the officer.

The suspect, two bystanders and the officer were hospitalized after the incident. The NYPD officer sustained an injury after being shot in the chest area, but is in “good spirits and expected to make a full recovery,” NYPD Commissioner Thomas Donlon said at the press conference.

“There will be a full and thorough investigation conducted into this incident as we always do in cases like this,” Donlon said.

The individual suspected of fare evasion is currently in critical condition with charges pending.

NO PRIDE IN GENOCIDE

 

All efforts to resurrect the image of so-called IsraHell as a haven of progressive ideals must be chopped down and leveraged as an opportunity to highlight its indiscriminate genocide again the Palestinian people. The Brooklyn resident(s) who hung this Israeli rainbow flag are doing the same ideological work as the IOF soldier who, in November 2023, held a rainbow flag with a hand-scrawled message, “In the name of love,” while standing in front of Gaza buildings reduced to rubble by IOF airstrikes. Both are attempts at “Pinkwashing,” or hiding IsraHell’s ongoing genocide, apartheid, colonialism behind a veneer of queer-friendliness in order to win support from folks around the world and prevent solidarity with the Palestinian struggle for liberation. Pinkwashing Zionists like to justify their genocide by saying that it’s not safe to be queer in Gaza. Do not fall for their traps! The struggle for queer liberation is global. Do not fall for the idea that bombing people is going to bring them LGBTQ+ rights. All forms of oppression are connected. Stay vigilant and escalate, friends! We must actively confront Zionism in our neighborhoods! There is no room for Zionism in our communities!

Sharp metal objects placed under Brooklyn NYPD SRG’s personal vehicles

Late July 24, we entered the parking area of NYPD’s Strategic Response Group in Brooklyn and put sharp metal objects under multiple pigs’ personal vehciels. Any of those pigs getting off work would have been met with the unpleasant surprise of punctured tires as they started for home.

This happened on the same day the NYPD sent 200 outside agitators to DC to protect genocidal war criminal Netanyahu and the U.S. imperialist mission.

Maybe cops shouldn’t feel safe enough in our city to spread their violence elsewhere. Why does the NYPD even have offices from Tucson, Arizona to Bogota, Colombia?

The SRG is the unit notorious for violently repressing protestors. These pigs sign up voluntarily to be SRG to crack skulls. This is payback for their brutality against Palestine protestors and student encampments.

We targeted their personal vehicles because it is time they faced a personal cost for their actions. These pigs walk among us, feeling safe and complacent. It’s on us to teach them they aren’t.

The Legal Aid Society stated NYC paid out $114,586,723 million for police misconduct in 2023. These lawsuits for pig brutality don’t come out of their pockets. And the NYPD has so much money they are spending $1390 per patrol car just to replace a slogan decal.

We must chip away at empire in every small way. Avenge the Palestinian martyrs. Avenge Sonya Massey. Fuck the police.
