The following article analyzes the events that took place between June 12th to July 14th at the occupation of a Wendy’s in Atlanta, the site of Rayshard Brooks’ murder by the Atlanta Police Department. Over the course of this this month, a strange in-between world formed around the burned intestines of a fast food restaurant. In it, we saw one of the most militant examples of Black struggle in the country. The exemplary character of the struggle at the Wendy’s allowed the authors to experience some of the most powerful interventions—and some of the most dangerous limitations—that American rebellion confronts today. In what follows, the authors focus on three dimensions of this conflict: the effect of Black (militant) leadership, fatalism and paranoia as constitutive conditions of the event, and the function of guns and lethal force in unfolding conflict.

LAPD leadership sent out this letter in response to a police union survey: “We can handle one 10,000-person protest but 10 1,000-person protests throughout the city will overwhelm us”.
Comrades in Montenegro are defying borders and fascist sympathies to preserve a safe house along the Balkan Route. They’ve been serving travelers by modest means for over two years— offering some basic fucking dignity as they attempt a treacherous journey to Western Europe. Bona Fide is legit. They already run on extremely modest means, despite having provided community for over 6000 travelers, but times are hard and winter is approaching which means more travelers will be seeking shelter. If you’ve got something to spare, they’ve got some people to maintain a safe home for. Consider donating!
