An anarchist media collective with members spread across the stolen lands of the so-called Americas. Kolektiva co-founder/mod.

On December 30th, Klee Benally joined the ancestors. Klee was a Diné anarchist, author, musician, land defender and community organizer based in the occupied lands of so-called Flagstaff Arizona. He was an influential and powerful voice who consistently challenged anarchists in Turtle Island to kill the colonizer in their own heads, and to incorporate an anticolonial analysis into their political frameworks.
This interview was conducted with Klee in 2019, as part of Trouble #18: ACAB. In it, he discusses the colonial roots of policing in the so-called United States, and the experiences of racial profiling faced by Indigenous people living in the cities that dot the colonial border between the US and Mexico.
Those who haven't done so should check out Klee's writings online, including his book No Spiritual Surrender: Indigenous Anarchy in Defense of the Sacred, published in 2023 by Detritus Books.

Distributed Denial of Secrets or #DDoSecrets is a vital publisher archiving leaks, for the public. We have been active for five years, but donations have never kept up with the pace of our submissions. We have shared hundreds of terabytes of leaks with journalists and researchers. We are now launching an urgent appeal: https://donorbox.org/ddosecrets-five-years-later Without your donations, we may be forced to pause operations and suspend access to our search engines and direct download tools. Can you pitch it to help us meet our goal?
Court support needed in northern so-called British Columbia. All solidarity with Indigenous land defenders facing repression under colonial law.

Activists in the town of Baka in Sweida turned one of Al Baath party branches into a community service centre with medical facilities for residents and a gym. They put up slogans saying 'Syria for Syrians' and planted some trees outside 
Thanks everyone! This was super useful on our end, and should improve the quality of tomorrow's stream. 
Tonight we will be stress-testing Kolektiva's servers, in hopes of avoiding any unforeseen technical issues during our TWO DECADES OF SUBVERSION RIOT PORN JAMBOREE livestream event tomorrow night.
From approximately 7:00 - 7:30pm, we will be livestreaming Trouble 21: Land & Freedom, which looks at anticolonial struggles in Palestine & the Great Lakes region of Turtle island.
To join the livestream go to https://kolektiva.media and navigate from the front page. We will post a link to the livestream itself once it's ready.
A friendly reminder that Kolektiva is a grassroots effort to build anarchist social media infrastructure. We rely on support and feedback from our users to help keep things running smoothly. So if you're going to be online anyway, please do us a solid and join the livestream tonight so that we can get a sense of how the server responds to increased traffic. And let us know in the chat if you're having any tech problems!

MONTREAL DEC 15!
TORONTO DEC 19!
THE 20 YEARS OF SUBVERSION RIOT PORN JAMBOREE!
I am honoured to be holding a mic for a couple milestone birthday bashes. This December - them goodly badasses at @subMedia are celebrating 20years as Anarchist media moguls. TWENNY YEARS YO! Trailblazers in alternative media making.. I’ve got a deep abiding love for the @subMedia crew. They been strong supporters of mine for a long while.. and have created my favourite Lee Reed videos. I just loves them
To mark this 20yr milestone, they are throwing screening parties in a buncha cool spots. Brining 2+ hours of the finest riot porn, from their (extensive) vaults. See their page for full listings. They got events in Baltimore, Philly, NYC, Porto Alegre, Belo Horizonte.. and for the Kanadian homies: Toronto, Montreal, and Hamilton.
You can catch me closing the party in Montreal on Friday December 15 (L’Achoppe), and Toronto on Tuesday December 19 (Bar Orwell). Spread words. Mar calendars. Get up and get down with us
The year is 2003, and I’ve just made one of the most consequential decisions of my life. To throw away any chances at a respectable career in the film industry, and dedicate my skills to spreading that most amazing philosophy of liberation... #Anarchism! Yep, it’s been 20 years since I steered @subMedia into the creation of anarchist films, movement support videos, and lot’s and lot’s of #RiotPorn. It’s been 4 years since I left the collective, but the good folks running the shop are doing multiple events this month to celebrate this milestone. So big ups to the submedia crew for keeping the flame of anarchist films alive, and a shoutout to all the freedom fighters who kept us inspired throughout these two decades.

Kolektiva.social is looking for new mods!
This instance is moderated by a small group of volunteers. A couple members of our team have recently stepped back from this role, and we're looking to replace them. We'd also like to grow our collective, and hopefully fill in some linguistic gaps. New moderators who speak Polish, Spanish, Greek, Arabic, Turkish and/or Japanese would be a bonus!
Another important thing to note: right now our mod team is almost entirely made up of people who identify as male. We would love to change this, and so we encourage female, non-binary and other genderqueer users to reach out about joining our team.
If you're interested in helping out, or you're curious about what joining the mod team would entail, reply to this thread, send a private message to one of our mods, or email us at kolektiva[at]riseup.net.
The great thing about federated social media networks like Mastodon is that we get to run them free of the influence of the Mark Zuckerbergs and Elon Musks of the world. But this only works if some of us step up to help make sure things run smoothly.
Yesterday the Chilean state sentenced anarchist comrades Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar to 12 and 86 years in prison, respectively, for attacks carried out during the Chilean uprising of 2019-2020, known as the Estallido Social.
Death to the Chilean state and all states! Mónica and Francisco to the streets!
Antifascists in Stockholm, Sweden have published data from Midgård, a Swedish nazi record label and one of the largest purveyors of white power music and merch in the world.
The data is in a public and easily searched database at https://midgard.antifa.se/
The names and addresses therein are of people who have chosen to monetarily support the nazi movement and have been made public to anyone who wishes to monitor or attack it.
Happy hunting.
An insurrectionary salute to Alfredo Bonanno, who passed away today at the wise old age of 86. Bonanno was a towering figure in the global anarchist movement, whose theories helped shape the modern insurrectionary anarchist tendency more than any figure in the past century.
May the fires that he helped to spark burn bright, and may their flames rise and engulf the institutions of this exploitative, oppressive society.
For those who aren't familiar with his prolific body of work, you can find much of it translated and printed by Elephant Editions, and/or available online at the Anarchist Library:

@Freedom_Press announcing their departure from the bird site.
"[Musk's] fall into a far-right conspiracy rabbit hole has increasingly combined with his decision to do away with the equality of voice that Twitter had previously maintained, instead encouraging people to 'pay for play' by buying a checkmark that pushes their posts to the front of the queue. Only those who have no other option or who feel comfortable handing him this direct bribe are now able to have their say unimpeded. And given his overt courting of fascists, alongside his hostility to anything left, this has driven a lopsided takeup, with a slurry of hard-right checkmark brigading the top of every viral political post."

We just published a French translation of the text "Female Keep Separate: Prison, Gender and the Violence of Inclusion." It is also available as a PDF, either set up for online reading or laid out as a brochure.
Femme à maintenir séparée : La prison, le genre et la violence de l'inclusion

If you haven't read this text in either language, check it out. It deals with what the experience of going through prison as a trans woman can teach us about gender and society.
A Huge Thank You!
To everyone who has embraced "The Mega Adventures of Koko Sisi and Kiki Pupu" – your support has been overwhelming. We're excited to share that we've sold half of our stock in both English and French, a milestone we couldn't have reached without you.
This book is more than just a story; it's a journey into themes of mutual aid, DIY culture, deforestation, and the bonds of friendship. Your support is helping us introduce these important concepts to young readers in a fun and engaging way.
If you haven't had the chance to explore this adventure with us, there are still copies waiting for you at https://papistudio.com. Thank you for helping us make a difference in children's literature.
Gaza war, opinions and moderation
We realize that this is very painful and emotionally charged moment for many of us. The Internet is a divisive, insensitive place at the best of times, and these are clearly not the best of times. In recent weeks we have understandably received a large influx of reports related to commentary on Israel's invasion of Gaza. While many of the reports filed have been wholly justified, bringing our attention to incidents of overt Islamophobia and/or antisemitism, or posts calling for collective punishment against an entire national/ethnic group, the vast majority have boiled down to arguments about who is to blame for the current violence.
As moderators of Kolektiva, we have our own strong views on what is going on in Israel/Palestine. Like many of you, we have been filled with rage and despair watching the news for the past several weeks.
That said, we are a small moderation team made up entirely of volunteers, and we do not see it as our role to censor posts that some of our users disagree with (or that we disagree with), or to moderate every thread where there is a heated political argument. Our role is limited to moderating content to help ensure Kolektiva does not become a platform for bigoted discourse, and to filter out the most toxic garbage from other servers.
For a full list of Kolektiva.social's guidelines, check out https://kolektiva.social/about
At this time, we ask people to please give a bit of thought about the sorts of posts you're reporting (not to mention what you write), and to please try to refrain from inundating our mod team with reports about posts that don't violate our code of conduct - particularly those from users on other instances who are not even directly engaging with users on our server (for instance, if you see a user on Mastodon.social arguing with someone else on MSTDN.social and a teenager with his own Pleroma instance).
Not sure what we mean? Here's some clear examples.
What to report:
Calls for genocide/collective punishment against all Palestinians or Israelis
Overt Islamophobia or antisemitism
"There are no civilian deaths in Gaza"
"Palestinians deserve to be bombed"
"Israel is the same/worse than the Nazis"
What not to report:
"From the River to the Sea"
"Israel has a right to defend itself"
"Palestinians have a right to resist"
"Hamas is a terrorist organization"
At the end of the day, people are obviously free to do what they want. But all this social media shit is bad for us -- especially at times like this, when we are more urgently needed off the Internet. And so, as a team of volunteers who are honestly getting pretty burnt out from looking through dozens of the same reports each day, while trying to balance our commitments to other various projects, we kindly suggest familiarizing yourself with Mastodon's robust individual block and content filtering functions, and even logging off social media if you are having a hard time seeing posts that you strongly disagree with.
We thank everyone for their patience with moderation on our servers and stand committed to maintaining Kolektiva as a space for engaged discussions, political debates, and the sharing of anarchist and anti-colonial news and analysis.
On an entirely related note, we are looking to increase our moderation capacity by bringing on new mods. So if this is something that interests you, please get in touch, either by responding to this post, tagging one of our mods, or emailing us at kolektiva[at]riseup.net
We are especially interested to cover additional languages such as Czech, Polish, Russian, Arab, Turkish and Japanese (and of course others!).
In solidarity,
The Kolektiva Mod Team
