At the end of March, some entered the construction site of the data center hypercampus east of Atlanta, Georgia and burned 4 construction vehicles. This was done to oppose data centers that quickly exhaust the limited water supply of the region. This is another example of the country’s tendencies to externalize the costs of their relentless wealth hoarding to southeastern United States. They have chosen the south as an area of sacifice, that is, a place to deposit the most unpleasant industries and their waste. For them, our home is barely available within such parameters, as it can still be used as a landfill. Thus, the people who acted insist that those who try to steal our water, air and land must at least endure loss and embarrassment on their way to hell.
This specific data center has aimed at facilitating AI connection for local companies. AI not only use more water than other computer processes, but is quickly becoming a way for the state to increase its intrusion in our personal life. And more and more are used by police and state forces to monitor those who oppose them. The people who burned these machines do not believe that our thoughts and movements should be used for profit or incarceration.
If you are interested in taking similar steps against such opponents, there are many opportunities. Atlanta Region is one of the locations with the highest activity of the data center developers, but they appear across the country. Companies owned by these centers often are not based in regions in which construction happens. No matter where you are, you are likely to be able to identify a project, facility or corporate office associated with data centers. There are many opportunities to take action. Some neighbors in Atlanta were successful with traditional organizing approaches. However, when politicians inevitably sell you out, we hope that this action reminds you of alternatives.
Here are some tips that may guide you to identify potential targets. Driving in search of construction sites can produce good results. Notifications of public hearings for rezoning and new constructions can also be helpful. Comparing the logos and the name of the corporation on signs outside the construction via Tor Browser on Tails will also help narrow it down. Check that your research is done safely on tails before acting; there are many methods and techniques that others have developed to limit the state’s ability to stop you.
The future Douzy Photovoltaic Park vandalized, site machinery set on fire
Radio8Ardennes/L’union, April 2, 2025
RLT Terrassement, based in Epiez-sur-Chiers (Meurthe-et-Moselle), a contractor working on the future Douzy solar park, was the victim of vandalism on Tuesday night. Shortly after midnight, five hooded individuals broke into the worksite and set fire to an excavator and compactor belonging to RLT Terrassement. Estimated damage: 150,000 euros.
“My boss and I are sure it’s the work of radical environmentalists. Solar is green, but you have to cut down trees. But burning machinery is green, isn’t it?” says the angry manager. A complaint has been lodged, and an investigation has been opened, entrusted to the Douzy gendarmerie brigade.
As for the worksite [to install 81,000 solar panels on 38 hectares of land, razing part of the forest], it’s at a standstill for the moment. It won’t start up again until next week, but not under any conditions. “The site will be secured, with guards watching over it day and night,” concludes Benjamin Rouyer, Managing Director of RLT Terrassement.
Last friday, April 25, some anonymous individuals targeted the home of McMaster University’s provost and future president Susan Tighe with vandalism. Media reports describe rocks thrown through windows and threatening messages left in paint following the university board of governors passing a new investment policy that does not include divesting from Israel. The media did not specify that Tighe’s university-owned home near campus was the target.
On Tuesday night [April 15] we punctured tires on 8 NYPD cars and sprayed “PIG” all over them at the 88th precinct right under their stupid noses. When the pigs are too complacent then collectively we are doing something wrong.
The 88th precinct is known for it’s tyrannical rule over both local community and new migrant neighbors. It famously collaborated with ICE during the 2020 George Floyd uprising by using ICE to guard their precinct building besieged by massive protests.
Five years later and where are we now? Every day another human being murdered in custody, through neglect or savage beatings. Robert Brooks and Messiah Nantwi. Five people have died at Rikers just this year. Two died in nyc holding cells just in the past month before even being arraigned.
Every day another neighbor disappeared into some far off prison, never to be seen again (look up CECOT). Every day another student kidnapped by ICE. Every day another community invaded by fascists demanding papers and hunting Black and Brown people for sport.
Every day another family incinerated by USA-made bombs in Palestine and Yemen.
When will it stop? We must come to a point where we realize that NOTHING WILL STOP if we don’t MAKE IT STOP. No amount of appealing to politicians, to cops, to institutions like Columbia, will help us. Let go of that, and we free ourselves.
The Empire must fall. Strike where you are, at whatever institution you can that upholds this whole stinking pile of dogshit. Every strike against the NYPD is a strike for communities both here and all over the world. May the strength of revolutionaries who have lived and died for liberation be with you.
Earlier this week, a group of activists vandalized a line of police vehicles near the Strategic Response Group’s Bronx headquarters. The SRG is a notorious NYPD unit, trained by “Israel” and responsible for the violent repression and daily brutalization of all New Yorkers; most notably including scores of Palestine solidarity protesters in the past 18 months and Black Lives Matter activists in 2020.
We slashed their tires, smashed their windows, and sprayed their vehicles’ insides with paint, making them virtually unusable. In isolation, this act of resistance won’t do much to stop the relentless onslaught of state violence and repression our communities are facing. The NYPD owns thousands of vehicles and other property that are ripe for the picking. Join us! It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3: SLASH, SMASH, SPRAY!
Bloc up, stay safe, use discretion, and act now! Marches are not enough. Target unsurveilled areas, conceal your identity, and leave no trail for them to follow. They can’t catch us all. Fuck the police and free Palestine!

In addition, while DDPF tags (which journalists believe to be an acronym for “Défense des droits des prisonniers français”, named after a Telegram channel) were found alongside several of the targeted targets, the Ministry of the Interior also mentions “anarchist slogans”. Today, one of its daily mouthpieces gave a little more detail on this subject (Le Monde, 17/4), stating that “in Angers in particular, spray-painted inscriptions were found on the facades of houses close to the prison: ‘support for convicts’ and ‘prison kills’”. In reality, these tags had been drawn up at the beginning of April, i.e. before the attacks… which in no way detracts from their relevance, on the contrary, particularly the “crèvent les taules” (“destroy prisons”) which is so hotly topical in the area.
Lastly, in a lengthy interview with France info (17/4), the national anti-terrorist prosecutor, Olivier Christen, gave his own account of the attacks: he reported “12 incidents, two against the personal homes of prison officers, one against vehicles in the parking lots of the École nationale pénitentiaire (Enap) and nine directly against prisons”. Geographically, “eight départements were affected”, including “a third of the incidents committed in the Bouches-du-Rhône and a third in the Île-de-France region”, with a total of “21 vehicles torched and a dozen vehicles damaged” (not to mention the machine-gunning of the Toulon prison gate and the burning of the ERIS prison gate in Aix-Luynes). In conclusion, this fanatical defender of state terrorism and fervent supporter of armored propaganda, even added a layer of conspiracy theorizing of which he has a secret: “It could be groups of politically radicalized people, it could be groups more linked to organized crime, it could also be a convergence of objectives and people manipulating each other: anything is possible”.
Tarascon (Bouches-du-Rhône), wednesday april 16th, 5.20am: one of the three burnt-out cars in the parking lot of the prison.
Tarascon (Bouches-du-Rhône). On the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, April 16, at around 5:20 am, three vehicles were set on fire in the prison’s secure parking lot: one belonged to a guard on duty and the other to a company working at the detention center.
Aix-Luynes (Bouches-du-Rhône), Tuesday, April 15: two cars set on fire in the parking lot of the prison.
Armored guardhouse of the screws, in the entrance area of the Toulon-La Farlède prison, night of Monday to Tuesday April 15, 2025.
The nights of Sunday to Monday, April 14, and Monday to Tuesday, April 15, were marked by attacks on several penitentiary structures and their minions, in a dozen towns in the south of France and the Paris suburbs. Prison staff cars parked in parking lots (Réau, Valence, Villepinte, Aix-Luynes, Nîmes), alongside the national prison school (Agen) or in front of their staff quarters (Marseille, Nanterre) went up in smoke. In addition, the entrance to a prison was machine-gunned (Toulon-La Farlède), and the gate to an ERIS base was set on fire (Aix-Luynes).
This “coordinated attack” over two consecutive nights led the National Anti-Terrorist Prosecutor’s Office (PNAT) to take charge of the investigation, which was then entrusted to the Anti-Terrorist Sub-Directorate of the Judicial Police, local services and the Directorate General of Internal Security (DGSI). The investigation includes “three charges, including terrorist association”, explained the Minister of Justice today, because “the very nature of the action” reflects a “concerted operation aimed at seriously disturbing public order through intimidation”. As for the guards, they are naturally disgusted, as Damien Tripenne, national secretary of the CGT penitentiary union, said on a major radio station: “I have comrades, colleagues, who are devastated because their vehicles have been targeted, their homes have been targeted… fear will have to change sides” (RTL, 15/4).
In addition, the Ministry of the Interior’s spokespersons pointed out that in several places the tag “DDPF” (interpreted by the journalists as the acronym for “rights [or rather defense] of French prisoners”, named after a Telegram channel) was found, as well as “anarchist slogans”. This led them to put forward both “ultra-left groups” and “drug trafficking” in their chatter. A well-known “source close to the case” told a state news agency that “according to the initial elements of the investigation, the anarchist trail seems to be gaining ground in the vast majority of cases” (AFP, 15/4, 15h50).
Whatever the case, their hypothesis is that these attacks are linked to the struggle of some and others against the construction of vast high-security wings, i.e. veritable tombs where hundreds of prisoners will be buried alive from this summer onwards… and more generally against the toughening of prison conditions (reduced walks and activities, beatings and humiliations by screws…) encouraged by Darmanin’s arrival at the Ministry of Justice.
Here, then, is a first glimpse of this series of nocturnal attacks on the prison administration and the property of its staff:
Agen (Lot-et-Garonne), Sunday April 13, 11:30 pm: arson of eight cars belonging to ENAP student guards.
RESPONSIBILITY CLAIM FOR THE BOMB ATTACK ON THE MINISTRY OF LABOUR AND HELLENIC TRAIN
“Death on the scaffolding, death on the trains, capitalism is fed with blood”
Slogan born in the huge demonstrations of March 2023 for the state capitalist crime in Tempi.
On 26 January 2025 and 28 February 2025 respectively, hundreds of thousands of people demonstrated against the government of murderous anti-worker restructuring and Hellenic Train, a subsidiary of the Italian monopoly Ferrovie Dello Stato, which bears the main responsibility for the murder of 57 fellow human beings in Tempi on 28 February 2023.
The demonstrations and strikes are a contribution to the formation of our collective defence as a Class and at the same time, since they took place in a country that played an active role in the US-Zionist genocidal war in Palestine, a practical act of solidarity with the heroic Palestinian people, who, with gun in hand, are showing the way for the liberation of the peoples of the whole world.
In particular, the strike of 28 February was a response to the rivers of blood that are spilled every day in the labour sweatshops. A response to the unspeakable pain for our fellow workers, our brothers and sisters, our mothers and fathers, our sons and daughters, our friends and girlfriends, lost or crippled in the struggle for a living wage. A response to the relentless class warfare we live every day here.
The massacre of the working class in the workplace as a conscious policy of capital and the state apparatus
The figures for deaths at work, even those given by official state statistics, which do not record a large number of incidents (e.g. of migrants) or show deaths as pathological, are inexorable. In the last three years alone, over 600 workers have died and over 1000 have been seriously injured (amputations, permanent paralysis, severe respiratory and cardiac problems), while thousands of others have been injured in need of medical treatment (with all the multifaceted costs that this entails) in over 40,000 work ‘accidents’. These figures are much higher if we include the hundreds of deaths per year, according to estimates by independent international organisations, from diseases (cancers, cardiovascular diseases) related to unhealthy working conditions (e.g. permanent exposure to chemicals, exhaust fumes), which the Greek state does not even register as such, in violation of international guidelines.
The butchery of the working class in the workplace has a name: it is called class exploitation, the pursuit of maximum profit by capital, the extraction of surplus value. It is called employer terrorism, it is called state policy of strengthening the competitiveness of the labour market, it is called employer trade unionism. It is called memoranda, it is called a policy of reducing public debt, it is called the EU’s fiscal stability pact, it is called the Achtsioglou law, the Hatzidakis law, the Georgiadis law. It is called poverty, unemployment, extortion of survival.
The parliament is a mechanism of class domination. The ministers and deputy ministers, the general secretaries, the technocrats of the Association of Enterprises and Industries, the banks and the shipowners who staff the legislative committees for the drafting of anti-worker laws are well aware of the consequences of the laws they pass. They are fully aware that the abolition of collective labour agreements, compulsory unpaid overtime, six-day work, the slashing of heavy and unhealthy work, the linking of wages to productivity (minimum wage law), the increase in retirement thresholds, the virtual abolition of the labour inspectorate, the criminalisation of strikes and the liberalisation of dismissals, the abolition of basic safety standards, all lead with mathematical precision to an explosion in the number of workers’ deaths and injuries. But that is their job, their role, that is why they are in this position. To shield and reinforce the capitalists’ profitability with the blood of the working class : with the blood of construction workers, shipbuilders and dockers, with the blood of bicycle drivers and train and transport workers, with the blood of call centre and catering workers, with the blood of workers in industry and public works, with the blood of migrant farm workers.
This is precisely why its persons and structures have been in the crosshairs of the proletariat and the revolutionary movement throughout time. From the execution by urban guerrillas in the Nazi occupation of the fascist corrupt labour minister Kalyvas to the bloody battles of the building movement in the 1960s in front of it and the attacks on its structures during the Junta by anti-dictatorship organisations, and from its constant targeting in the post-war period by revolutionary organisations to its militant blockades by workers’ unions.
The defence of the life of the working class is a condition for its political formation and its counter-attack
At midnight on Thursday 3/4, we set fire to a van belonging to the Avance company in the Upper Town.
This company is a Greek company that has evolved and is making huge profits by exploiting the “most productive sector of the Greek economy”, tourism. With branches in all tourist areas and mainly the islands, it proves to us the lie of the ruling class that the development of tourism is good for all of us. They see the super profits of Greek and foreign capital, while we have a different picture.
For us, tourism is the 6-month season, gruelling 12-hour days, containers, “underwater services” and the exploitation of workers. For us, tourism is reflected in the murder of Antonis Kargiotis who was considered a refugee because he did not fit the profile of the rich white tourist. And of course, tourism means in our everyday life Airbnb, extremely expensive rents, a change in the structure of cities with the centres filled with hotels, shops and luxurious houses, while those who live and work here but do not fit the image built by capital are expelled to the suburbs. In two words, tourism means CLASS WAR.
A war that goes hand in hand with the already harsh social war that has been raging in recent years with the right-wing government. In this war we have taken a clear position. We oppose capital, both Greek and foreign. We sabotage the “tourism machine with all means”. We destroy the image of the “beautiful country-tourist destination” with practical propaganda and provocations damaging the state apparatus. This action is dedicated to the Anarchist Kyriakos Xymitiris! The comrade will live forever through the flames of our attacks!
Strength to the detained comrade K.K. who is being prosecuted for the arson of a police vehicle.
Solidarity with the comrades in custody for the Ampelokipi case.
Faith in the struggle – trust in our strengths – not a single step back!
Anarchist arsons
P.S. As these lines were being written, we learned of another murder of a worker. A 59-year-old cleaner was murdered in the hotel she worked at in Santorini island . Our attack is dedicated to her as well as to all the anonymous victims of capital.
Since September, a strange phenomenon has hit the streets of the Deux-Sèvres prefecture: about once a month, a vehicle from Elon Musk’s factories catches fire. “Libé” followed the pyromaniac’s footsteps until he was found [A Libé writer posted an ad about Indy Nantes and the compas were kind enough to reply; NdAtt.]
The thick smoke from Ivana’s electronic cigarette crashes against the window of her Tesla. “When I park it now, I choose a place where there’s a lot of traffic and cameras,” explains the twenty-something. In Niort (Deux-Sèvres), where this saleswoman works, a strange phenomenon has been roaming the streets since September. At least once a month, somewhere in town, a car from the famous American brand catches fire in the dead of night. A sort of Russian roulette of burnt-out tires. A werewolf game with a burnt-out car. In the parking lot alone, where her electric vehicle is refueled, the flames raged in October, and since then, no driver has risked taking the time off to recharge. The young woman is furious: “It’s shameful, we don’t burn cars for political reasons, just as we don’t buy a Tesla for Elon Musk.”
Faced with these serial fires, the hypothesis of an anti-Musk action is the first to be considered. Demonstrations, scratched vehicles, burning dealerships… In recent times, the damage done to the billionaire’s brand has been mounting as a result of the antics of its big boss. Especially since the Nazi salute by Trump’s right-hand man in January. Support for the far right and outright cuts in US administrations are, moreover, one of the explanations for Tesla’s 13% drop in sales in the first quarter of 2025 compared with the same period last year, and the collapse of the Austin-based brand’s share price by more than half since its record high on December 17, 2024. But in the case of Niort, doubt still hangs in the air: is the richest man in the world the target of the perpetrator, who is still wanted?
For a start, the dates don’t coincide: the first fires took place long before the big boss’s controversial gesture. Secondly, in addition to the dozen or so burnt-out Teslas, at least two luxury vehicles were also targeted. A Porsche and an Aston Martin. In the city’s beige streets, blackish marks now blend into the scenery. Here on charred branches, there on a once immaculate palisade. Libé followed these traces and traced them back to Niort’s serial arsonist.
