We’re Bringing Sexy Back:
A Call for an Anti-Authoritarian Bloc at the Emergency March Against the Troop Surge in Afghanistan

On September 24th some of the most militant politicized street protests the States have seen in nearly a decade countered the G20 summit in Pittsburgh. Anarchist Queers and Trannies were on the frontlines of this struggle; bringing the numbers, the flare, and the wrecking crews. Radical Queers fought police and did everything they could, with what they had, not to back down. A days worth of tear gas, rubber bullet attacks, and fending off straight-idiot-liberals, set the tone for what would be a night of ravenous Queer revenge.

On guard for a possible clash with counter-protesters against a neo-Nazi group in Austin, police and firefighters outnumbered those who attended Saturday's downtown rally.

Two members of the National Socialist Movement Southern Minnesota branch held a banner near the George Washington statue on Main Street while Austin member Samuel Johnson delivered an hour-long speech on the dangers of illegal immigration.

His audience consisted of two people who sat quietly across the street and did not want to be named.

On Friday, Nov. 13, 4:30 p.m., Leslie Parks, the Minnesota Coalition for a People’s Bailout and the Poor Peoples Economic Human Rights Campaign will join forces again in the battle against foreclosures and evictions. Leslie Parks, who is facing foreclosure, had made it clear that she will not be put on the streets. The effort to keep the home in the Parks family will be kicked off with a press conference and rally at their home, 3749 Park Avenue in south Minneapolis.

Update: see RaymondMerchant.com for more support info (from the open publishing newswire) Raymond Merchant is a father of two, Hip Hop artist, and community organizer in South Minneapolis. Missing for several days, friends became worried when Raymond failed to arrive to a show he was scheduled to perform at. After contacting his family, it was confirmed he had been abducted by police just blocks from his home while out for a walk.

Raymond cooks and distributes food through the grassroots group Minneapolis Food Not Bombs. He is a former childcare worker and loved member of his community. Help us fight to get Raymond out of jail as he is facing potential prison time resulting from the police pinning bogus charges on him. He has been in custody since October 24th.

Dear Diary,

My, how this month has flown by! I have been so busy bringing the queer insurrection; I’ve hardly had time to write everything down. Where to begin…

When the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) held its annual Gala Dinner and Silent Auction Saturday, Sept, 12th, autonomous queerz Bash Back: Twin Cities, The Revolting Queers, and the Twin Cities Avengers were there to welcome them even though we had not been invited and had no intention of paying the $200 entrance fee.

The Minnesota Peace Team is proud to report that we successfully kept the streets, cops, and private property safe on the night of Halloween. We made sure no one was out exercising their rights that night!

Early in the day, we heard reports of people planning to be out in public wearing masks to cover their faces and costumes of a perverse nature to help disguise their identities. Extensive research revealed that people mask up on this day every year.
