Oga Pysy's are traditional Guarani and Kaiowá ceremonial houses, that offer important spaces for seasonal rites, and social harmony, and provide a direct link to their central deity, Nhanderu Tupã. In a context of ecosocial genocide perpetrated by Brazil's fascist government and the large-scale agribusiness operations in Guarani and Kaiowá territory, Oga Pysy's have been also been an important site of resistance through cultural production. Only around 20 ceremonial houses exist due to arson attacks.
From the Intercept:
"Renowned dissident and linguist Noam Chomsky joins The Intercept's Jeremy Scahill for a wide-ranging discussion on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, holding the powerful accountable, the role of media and propaganda in war, and what Chomsky believes is necessary to end the bloodshed in Ukraine."
Eric Adams, the new Giuliany , has ramped up sweeps of houseless encampments across New York City. The City calls upon the DHS and the anti-terrorist division of the NYPD (ironically, they are the ones who incite terror) to kick people out of their creative and resourceful shelters and to leave them to freeze or soak in the recent climate. Screw Adams, screw the NYPricksD, screw the DHS, screw anybody who supports them. A.C.A.B! ALWAYS! HOMES, NOT SHELTERS!

Punk epistemology can be summed up as the incredulity to all forms of perceived unjust power and the subversion of normalizing power, which despite ideological differences, is held together by the desire to be subversive, non-conformant, and DIY ethics. In four words, it consists of solidarity, horizontality, individuality, and transgression, otherwise known as S.H.I.T! It is a crucial part of punk's revolutionary potential and is a unique medium of resistance in that it does not, in itself, require significant material actions. All it demands is an internal paradigm shift towards an incredulity towards all figures in power. Punk epistemology offers an alternative ideology to that which is enforced by state power, for the simultaneous preservation of associations and individuality—an epistemology that produces and reproduces community and solidarity, while maintaining individuality. In order to develop a theory of punk epistemology, it is useful to look at two writers who are frequently shunned by modern academia.
Max Stirner, a prominent anarchist philosopher, and developer of egoist theory is arguably the first to hold this epistemology. In his opus, The Unique and Its Property, Stirner writes “I am and will always remain, with regard to myself, more than the State, than the Church, than God, etc., and thus, infinitely more than the association also.” Stirner also famously critiques the school system, the dominant ideological state apparatus, and provides an alternative pedagogy "The starting point of pedagogy ought not to be the civilizing vocation, but the calling to shape free personalities and sovereign characters: thus, there must be an end to the sapping of a will hitherto brutally ground down. From the moment that the yearning for learning is no longer sapped, why go on sapping the urge to desire? If the former is cultivated, so too must the latter be cultivated" Although this prompts inquiries into fields other than anthropology, Stirner could be a source of theory for a punk pedagogy in a post-capitalist society.
Walking through his former stomping grounds on the Lower East Side*, Ben Morea charts the evolution of Up Against the Wall/Motherfucker—the network of action-oriented radicals, freaks, and street fighters that emerged out of the group surrounding the journal Black Mask during the late '60s in New York City.
*Located between the Bowery and the East River, the neighborhood traditionally extended from 14th Street down to the Brooklyn Bridge. Recent maps have shifted the northern boundary south to Houston Street, but for many residents the area known today as the East Village still belongs to the greater Lower East Side.

Maroon Shoatz (August 23, 1943—December 17, 2021) was a founding member of the Black Unity Council, a member of the Black Panther Party, and a soldier in the Black Liberation Army. He was convicted for the murder of a police officer and was sentenced to 50 years in prison, in which he was placed in solitary confinement for two decades. Shoatz was arrested after the killing of a young Black child in 1970 by the Philadelphia Police Department.
He is our comrade in freedom and liberation, people like him will never die. He will always be with us.
