Three years ago on December 6 [2018] we reported from #Athens as heavy clashes occurred between many thousands of police & anti-authoritarians took place on the 10-year anniversary of 15y/o #AlexisGrigoropoulos being killed by Greek police in #Exarcheia: unicornriot.ninja/2018/major-cla…
On December 6, 2008, Alexis Grigoropoulos was with his friends when Epaminondas Korkoneas, a special guard member of the Greek police, fatally shot Alexis. Intense riots ensued for weeks. In his 1st trial, Korkoneas was found guilty of culpable homicide & given a life sentence.
Korkoneas, the ex-special police guard of the Greek police who shot #AlexisGrigoropoulos, had his life sentence overturned in July 2019. An appeals court found him guilty for the murder but reduced his sentence to 13 years. He was released that same day. unicornriot.ninja/2019/life-sent…
Last year on December 6 [2020], Greek police occupied & desecrated the memorial site for #AlexisGrigoropoulos (#KilledByPolice on Dec. 6, 2008), furthering the far-right New Democracy government's repression of anti-authoritarians & anarchists. unicornriot.ninja/2020/greek-pol…

NEW: Alan Ditty, a Minneapolis city employee blew the whistle of a potential raid on a protest site. He was outed by Kare 11 to the MPD. Ditty killed himself after he was identified & fired.

Here's the story of how the press & the city failed Alan Ditty: unicornriot.ninja/2021/kare11-ou…
Alan Ditty—union pipefitter, husband, and father of two— died on March 12, 2016. He had worked for the city of Minneapolis for 32 years, and was only one year away from early retirement eligibility. He called in sick just three days over three decades. Image
Ditty cared deeply and fiercely for his employees and the public he interacted with on a daily basis. When he discovered that a raid was imminent on a #BlackLivesMatter encampment after the fatal police shooting of #JamarClark in 2015, he feared for everyone’s safety. Image

Ruby Montoya is doing whatever she can to lighten her punishment after publicly admitting to a string of arson and sabotage attacks against the Dakota Access Pipeline (#DAPL) in 2017. unicornriot.ninja/2021/ruby-mont…
According to a recent article in @TheEconomist, “Montoya agreed to cooperate with the FBI” in fall 2020. During such FBI debriefs, agents typically attempt to solicit information on other activists and pressure co-defendants to testify against each other.
Since summer 2021, Montoya’s lawyer repeatedly filed motions on her behalf asking the court to allow her to file documents under seal—a practice typically avoided by those facing political charges in an effort to be transparent about engagement w/ law enforcement and the courts.

Tomorrow morning the U.S. Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments as to whether all pre-viability prohibitions on abortion are unconstitutional—putting Roe v. Wade at risk.
The Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health hearing stems from Mississippi lawmakers and Governor Tate Reeves pushing for highly restrictive abortion bans. The audio of the hearing will be streamed live on the Court’s site: supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments…
Mississippi, a state with only one abortion clinic, passed a 15-week abortion ban in March 2018; however, the very next day, it was temporarily blocked after the Center for Reproductive Rights filed a lawsuit.
