A Totally Gibson Plot Twist

“In hindsight, we all should’ve seen this coming. The onrushing descent into a cyberpunk dystopian hellscape would only call for a totally cyberpunk response. I’m referring, of course, to Anonymous Juneteenth’s present to the world better known as #BlueLeaks, a steaming data dump on the face of the pigs that rivals Wikileaks in size and scope.”

Anti-Fascist Diversity is our Strength

There is a need for us to step up our efforts to build a strong culture of anti-fascism in Scotland that is rooted in the communities we live in and come from. We talk about it a lot, but it’s time to get serious about our efforts and begin organising in areas where we don’t have a presence.

Yes, All Cops Are Bastards. Even the “good” ones.

The slogan does not concern itself with personal qualities of individual cops.
