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.

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.

Vandals splash Columbia University president’s home with red paint as protests rage over ICE arrest of Mahmoud Khalil

Posted on by neversleep

Vandals targeted the home of Columbia University’s president, splashing the historic residence with red paint and scrawling the words “Free Them All,” as protests rage this week over ICE’s arrest of former protest ringleader Mahmoud Khalil, cops said.

The side of the building at 60 Morningside Drive appeared to have been pelted with red paint balloons — with the urgent message scrawled in black marker — when Columbia’s public safety officers spotted the damage around 12:50 a.m., police said.

Columbia’s current interim president, Katrina Armstrong, lives in the building, sources said.

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.

THE BATTLE OF HIND’S HALL FROM OUR SIDE OF THE BARRICADES

Posted on by neversleep

A MESSAGE TO THE STUDENT INTIFADA:

Let us not dialogue with our persecutors.

In the words of Ghassan Kanafani, we must reject the “conversation between the sword and the neck.”

The footage you are viewing is contraband. It was smuggled out of Hind’s Hall and hidden from the NYPD in the band of a militant’s bra. Until now, the only footage to come out of the battle and raid was from the perspective of the pigs, but this footage is the worldview of the militant. We are releasing it in response to the latest wave of repression sweeping across amerika. The Student Intifada put the imperialist ruling class on its back foot. Echoes of 1968 and the threat of mother country militancy still loom over their heads—they remember the last time this kind of struggle erupted. They remember the last time youth in the metropole began to identify with the Third World guerrilla. The enemy is scared, and they should be. They’ve responded using every tactic of repression available to them, teetering on the edge of criminalizing all anti-zionist speech.

Yesterday, Columbia expelled another student for their alleged involvement in the Student Intifada. This is the first expulsion for alleged involvement in Hind’s Hall.

We send a message to our enemies:

We will not back down. We will resist you.

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.

Allianz Global Investors Defaced in Midtown Manhattan

February 7, 2025

Allianz Global Investors is a premier financier of Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest weapons company. Taking inspiration from Palestine Action’s coordinated hit on Allianz across five European countries last week, a group of actionists struck Allianz’ Midtown Manhattan headquarters Tuesday night. Just blocks from Times Square, the group defaced the Allianz sign and logo in a symbolic act of dissent against its support for genocide. From the group: Allianz, we are putting you on notice. You and any other corporation who enables Israel’s wanton slaughter of Palestinians will pay a price. You are not welcome in NYC.

15 Months of Protest Art for Gaza

Posted on by neversleep

Admin note: only New York sections included

Over the last 15 months, artists have mobilized against Israel’s attacks on civilians in Gaza, which organizations including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have determined to be consistent with genocide. After multiple failed attempts, Israel and Hamas agreed to a mutually negotiated ceasefire deal that went into effect on Sunday, January 19, with an initial phase stipulating a halt in Israeli attacks on Gaza for six weeks. The deal will reportedly allow humanitarian aid to enter the Gaza Strip as Palestinians are permitted to return to their locales and Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners will be released in stages. Still fragile as it unfolds day by day, the US-backed ceasefire deal marks a precarious break in the onslaught of violence and destruction throughout Gaza. On Monday, January 27, tens of thousands of displaced Gazans began to return north.

In their international push for a permanent ceasefire, artists have developed visual languages to demand institutional divestments from Israel and call for an end to violence against Palestinians in Gaza and the Occupied West Bank. Many have either foregone or been denied life-changing career opportunities in their public advocacy for Palestine, underscoring the importance of community, solidarity, and artistic freedom in the broader culture sector.

Below are some of the most impactful moments of artistic protest for Gaza since October 2023.
