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!

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!
