Cameras suck! They’re evil and they pry into our daily life and expose our networks, movements, and habits.
In 2013, someone called for a game, Camover. The goal? Get as many cameras as possible off the streets of Berlin.
The rules? Record your kill, use any method you like, and disable them shits.
We’re in Philly and it’s 2025 so recording your kill is fucking stupid we’re nixing that rule. Dress good move smart and get rowdy and creative !
Some tactics and strategies from years passed include: grappling hooks, spraying them out, smashing them up, fucking removing them, flex seal, etch bath, I’m sure you could think of more. In the passed 7 years, Philly’s camera system has gotten too good. They can pan they can zoom and feeds over periods of time can be aggregated and sorted thru by AI. This spells danger for radicals insurgents guerillas and criminals of any milieu. The solution is simple and it was implemented systematically by various crews during the George Floyd uprising. Strategy and tactics were employed to defeat surveillance, and in the blind spot of the state, anarchy bloomed.
Every camera is a cop, this destroying one is about half as good as gouging a pig’s eyes. Claim your kills by reporting (brief text description with location and method if you like) them to camoverphl25@proton.me or don’t. All I really care about is hamstringing the surveillance state, so let’s all have a fun summer and get free!
Game is over on the last day of August, the crew with the most kills gets Nothing because bragging is dumb and unsafe. Love y’all! Kisses
The autonomous demonstration has returned to Philadelphia. On June 10th and June 14th respectively, two self organized autonomous demonstrations were called to fight back against ICE and in solidarity with the rebellion in Los Angeles. To read a better understanding of what went down, I recommend you read the Unicorn riot account (https://unicornriot.ninja/2025/philadelphia-police-crack-down-on-anti-ice-marches-twice-in-one-week/) and an article I have deep disagreements with (https://phillypartisan.com/2025/06/15/headless-courage-anti-ice-protests-vs-police-brutality/). Both give brief overviews of what happened at these demos.
As an older anarchist, I was glad to see younger comrades organizing against ICE in a militant fashion. It is a rare thing to see publicly organized autonomous demonstrations in the United States despite the fact that they are common in many other places like Latin America or Europe. Autonomous demonstrations are critical for real combative street movements. For over a decade, the activist/organizer culture has plagued Philadelphia’s street movements with their cowardice and liberalism. The tension between the militant and the activist has played out in the meeting, communique and even in the streets. Organizers have often played a counter insurgent role in various struggles such as anti-gentrification direct actions from 2013 to 2018, OccupyICE in 2018, the George Floyd uprising, the Eddie Irizarry uprising and the Palestine solidarity encampments. In each of these struggles, anarchists and our friends faced conflict with activists. While it seems more hip to talk about “counter-insurgency” these days from some of the very same cowardly leftists, it bears reminding that anarchists in Philadelphia have struggled against those who would want to water down social struggles.
These dynamics are often difficult to grapple with as the dynamics are often highly racialized. Despite the longstanding history of Black anarchists and Black radical militancy in the city of Philly since the 60s, those who take risks and organize autonomously are often accused of being “white adventurists”. While it can be amusing sometimes as there will be white radicals so plagued with white guilt that they cannot imagine that perhaps a Black or Person of of color person may in fact want to fight back against the forces that oppress them, many Black and POC organizers also actively despise militants of every background despite their near constant exhortations about “revolutionary violence” so they can sell copies of their books and admission to workshops.
Either way, I want to congratulate whoever called for the most recent demonstrations. The type of bravery displayed by those who organized and attended these demonstrations is the type that we’ll need to fight back against the worsening conditions in the United States. Unsurprisingly, both of these demonstrations were met with overwhelming police repression. There are probably a number of reasons for this. Both Cherelle Parker and the so-called progressive DA Larry Krasner both made it clear that peaceful protest was acceptable but anything deviating from permitted protest would be treated harshly. I believe that the PPD are afraid of a rerun of 2020. Doubtless the LA rebellion has scared the shit out of them. Either way, it is clear that the autonomous demo frightens the State in a way that the nicely marshaled parades by various activist and socialist groups simply do not. I want to commend the young people for taking the streets regardless of overwhelming police numbers on both days. The rest of the “Left” in the city of Philadelphia has been quiet. It makes me proud to be an anarchist to see that we remain on the front-lines when it comes to organizing to fight back against ICE while much of the Lefts skulks in the shadows (and not in the cool way). Let’s all make sure to support the comrades who faced more serious charges for taking part in these actions.
Some socialists wrote a critique of the first autonomous demo that I feel like I should address. In my view the article takes a myopic view of autonomous struggles and relegates them largely to a reaction to a current moment despite the fact that autonomous demos were popular in Philadelphia way back in 2017.
So the article is titled “Headless Courage”, I thought this was kinda funny because it’s clear whoever wrote it has never engaged with the work of Philly’s own Black revolutionary Russell Maroon Shoatz with his critical essay “The Dragon and the Hydra” where he argues for a multi-headed resistance against the colony and capital rather than a single-headed one. The autonomous demonstration in theory is an example of multi-headed resistance. The idea of an autonomous demonstration is a moment where various different WELL ORGANIZED affinity groups with different goals and intentions (ideally coordinating with each other prior to the action) can converge and act together in a public manner. Unsurprisingly, this doesn’t always work in real life as there are often liberals who show up as individuals, seeking to derail the demonstration or accusing people of being cops. However, well organized affinity groups who can assert themselves solves this problem. Often many anarchists understand affinity to be a one time thing but it’s actually critical to understand that affinity is a long term organizational orientation based on building trust and reciprocal knowledge with your comrades. It seems that whoever wrote the article did not arrive to the demonstration with their own set of goals but instead decided to complain on the internet because no one listened to them! Organize yourself and yourself better. No one owes you allegiance or a rowdy demonstration.
Chiding the demonstration for being “peaceful” when people were de-arresting, throwing barricades in the street and engaging in some light types of vandalism feels like a cheap shot considering the overwhelming police presence. Most demonstrations never even have any of those things happen. It’s sad but true. Furthermore, It’s clear that some people at the demonstration attended with intention and were able to take part in ways they found liberating. The conclusions in the article are unclear as the author acknowledges that non-autonomous demonstrations are weak and ineffective. Yeah, welcome to the club. Anarchists have been saying that for years. Nothing the socialists described at the demo such as police violence or snitchjacketing is particularly new. That’s just par for the course at public demonstrations. The solution isn’t creating some commander militant though but rather building forms of organization that can facilitate un-governability. I would refer the author to the coordinated affinity group as an example. Unfortunately, that form in Philly has largely been eclipsed by whatever the Left is doing these days. The author also argues bizarrely that socialists should do ESL classes and then use the people who do those classes for a militant demonstration.
“but you can recruit people more honestly and form more articulate connections by tabling, going door to door, or mounting programs like free food distributions or free ESL classes that directly serve your community. As described before in the Partisan, we should think of these types of projects as the proper way to build people power, and mass actions as the way to “cash out” on whatever power has been built to make change in the most direct and literal way”
Unfortunately just because someone likes your ESL class or free food doesn’t necessarily mean that they are going to be interested in whatever type of demonstration that you want to do. Mass actions are the the product of random people from an ESL fighting the cops but rather the product of affinity groups building amongst themselves and together to build capacity to fight back. I dunno the author’s background but the whole part about “organizing the masses” is always corny to me cause leftists always seem to be confused when the masses are not interested in their political project. Often when white leftists talk about “organizing the masses”, they are talking about Black and brown people in the city. I think it may be hard to imagine for some crackers to understand Black and brown people are already organized just in ways that are often reactionary or liberal. Instead of thinking of people as monolithic subject for your revolutionary desires perhaps realize that individuals regardless of their class background are complicated. The mechanistic way of thinking about human beings on the Left continues to be a weakness.
For the younger people. Don’t stop! Focus on building affinity with one another in the streets. I feel like there has been a lot of chastising from both socialists, so-called legal support collectives and various cowards on the internet. At the end of the day, ya’ll are doing what the Left wishes it was doing. Keep training, making sure your Black bloc is on point, talking with your friends and refusing to follow orders. Whether it’s from cops, progressive politicians, leftists, crackers, organizers, liberal anarchists or whoever. If I had any recommendations, it would be to examine the history of social struggles in Philadelphia prior to this moment. You might learn a few things. I’ll include a reading list. But honestly, I’m just proud of ya’ll.

Philadelphia, PA — The increasing tempo of pro-immigrant, anti-ICE protests hit Philadelphia last week, and the Philadelphia Police Department (PPD) has decided to crack down.
On Tuesday, June 10, and Saturday, June 14, autonomous protests were called outside of the Federal Detention Center (FDC), where up to 125 immigrant detainees can be held by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The Tuesday protest included 80-100 protesters, while the Saturday demonstration brought an estimated 300. Both marches were met with intense police response which resulted in injuries and arrests.
Unlike other cities, where police shot tear gas and rubber bullets into crowds, the Philadelphia Police Department dispersed marches with tools on hand: battering protesters with batons, corralling the crowd with bicycles and nearly running activists and journalists over with motorized dirt bikes.
This report covers how police repressed the June 10 and 14 demonstrations that roamed the northeast side of Center City — video from June 14 below.
June 10 Autonomous Demonstration: Philadelphia Police Arrest 15 Anti-ICE Protesters, Strike with Batons
Nationwide protests had taken off in solidarity against the recent militarized crackdowns and immigration sweeps in Los Angeles, as well as in objection to local ICE detentions. On the morning of June 10, ICE arrested at least one individual in South Philadelphia. Local activists also witnessed three detained in Kensington earlier that week.
In response to these detentions, an autonomous protest was called that morning to mobilize that afternoon. At 4 p.m., approximately 80-100 people congregated near the FDC at 7th and Arch Street and began chanting. A megaphone was passed among the crowd, and participants gave speeches about the Trump administration’s “fascist” immigration policies, as well as the interrelated struggle between domestic colonialism and the genocide in Gaza. (Local protesters also have been rallying weekly against one of Israel’s arms suppliers, Day & Zimmermann, on Spring Garden Street.)

A march then began, trekking past the ICE field office and then down Market Street, taking the prominent throughway. At the end of the second lap, police began pressuring the protest and at 6:44 p.m., issued a order to disperse. The Philadelphia Police Department (PPD) then flanked the crowd in an attempted kettle, struck several people with batons and arrested 15.

Activists marched around the block to the ICE field office, looped back to the FDC, and then took another lap onto Market Street.
Several protesters used bikes to define the march’s perimeter, acting in sync during the protest. On the second return to FDC Philadelphia, tensions escalated between Philly PD bike patrol and the bike brigade activists. They faced off closely and argued for some time.
One protester from the bike brigade explained:
“From my perspective, the bikers present maintained control and effectively managed the situation, preventing a rush. This strategic positioning, I believe, was not favored by the police, leading to their attempt to accelerate matters. I also heard from someone that there was communication over the scanner indicating an intent to arrest the bikers, and myself. Our actions were entirely within legal bounds; we were simply employing strategic measures to maintain a safe distance and manage the situation effectively.”

After the protest returned to the FDC, two bike cops were isolated by the crowd in front of the detention center. While activists and police exchanged verbal insults, at least one person in the crowd advised others to make sure that police could retreat from the cornered situation.

By this time, tensions were high. While there was no evidence of spray painted graffiti or significant property damage on the facility, a message was written onto one of the windows appearing to say “FUCK ICE.”

At approximately 6:44 p.m., the police issued an initial dispersal order, declaring the march “unlawful.”
The PPD then pressured protesters to keep moving, issuing a third dispersal order by 6:51 p.m. However, these declarations were not easily audible — our contributor could not hear them on site. An increased presence of officers, prepared with batons and riot gear, began following the protesters from behind.

“They held the line when we got to Market Street. And they scared people. And, what do scared people do? They run. But then [the cops] started beating people,” one protester recounts. “There was no way out, so you had to run through or cower and hope they didn’t hurt you. If you ran, they tried to beat you.”

Fifteen people were arrested. Fourteen were hit with disorderly conduct, which is a ticketed offense called a CVN in Philadelphia. (There were press reports of another charge of aggravated assault but this has not been confirmed as of press time.)
As of 10 p.m. on June 11, additional barricades were placed around the FDC and its large window facade was boarded up.
June 14 Autonomous Demonstration: Protesters Flee Attacking Bike Cops via Holiday Inn Express
Liberal groups returned to Philly to host the “No Kings” national flagship rally on June 14 at the Philadelphia Museum of Art; messages against ICE policy were a major theme. Facing light rain at 2 p.m., much of the 80,000 person crowd began drifting back towards City Hall from the art museum.
Shortly after, an autonomous demonstration against ICE gathered again near the FDC around 6 p.m. with a message in solidarity with the revolt by ICE detainees in Delaney Hall detention facility in Newark, which is operated by the GEO Group. Last Friday, the Department of Homeland Security claimed four people escaped by knocking over an outer wall after an uprising among ICE detainees Thursday evening was spurred by a lack of food.

Police scanners noted that the Philly PD shadowed some roaming protest groups earlier in the afternoon, as some “No Kings” protest participants joined into the autonomous gathering. Before the 6 p.m. protest began, dozens of cops stationed in groups around the FDC. Dirt bike police staged nearby on Broad Street, and sanitation trucks blocked street traffic around the FDC.

Shortly after the march began, over 100 Philly Police quickly corralled the protest to stop it from heading down 7th Street towards the highway. The group instead marched into Center City towards the Fashion District as bike cops followed.

The anti-ICE march snaked around northeast Center City. At 12th and Walnut there was a scuffle, after protesters repurposed plastic jersey barriers to obstructed bike police following the march. Officers had to push these out of way. Then, officers began to grab march participants with masks and umbrellas. Unicorn Riot saw what appeared to be several successful de-arrests.

At 13th and Walnut, at about 7 p.m., after the conflict over barricades, police attacked the crowd and kettled it at the intersection. Some protesters then ran through the Holiday Inn Express garage. Police with bicycles lined up to cut off garage access, splitting the crowd. PPD ordered people to leave while they had everyone surrounded, and eventually let some march away while issuing dispersal orders.
This time around, the police had added dirt bike-type motorcycles to their arsenal. Philly Police on motorbikes nearly ran over people’s feet repeatedly, repeatedly zooming across a block to come within an inch or so of striking our reporter as well as a small handful of protesters leaving the area.
Once again there were arrests and injuries — legal observers tell us there were approximately seven arrests. One person was released immediately, two the following evening. By Sunday evening, June 15th, everyone was known to be released by 6 p.m.
Future ICE Activity Expected in Philadelphia
Philadelphia may see more militarized ICE actions soon. Detentions of immigrants have continued regularly around Philadelphia and its suburbs.

Today we are introducing two more members of Atlantic Nationalist Club (ANaC), Samuel C. Kieffer Bray and Sean A. Lemley, both of New Jersey. Kieffer Bray and Lemley couldn’t be more different than each other on a base level, but have been brought together by this hate group to terrorize local communities. Both are long time members of ANaC which is run by Claudino Petrucelli.
Samuel C. Kieffer Bray is 32 years old and lives in Medford, NJ (editors note- we will be referring to him by the name listed in NJ court records, however he is also listed as Samuel Kieffer in records that are publicly available). Kieffer Bray has been a nazi for several years, first getting involved in Patriot Front (PF) in 2021. Kieffer Bray was present for PF’s ill-fated July 3, 2021 rally in Philadelphia. It was during this rally that Philadelphia residents confronted Patriot Front and beat the shit out of them. Shortly after fleeing in Penske trucks, Philadelphia police pulled over the Patriot Front members and Samuel provided them with his license.
Being beaten by Philly residents and getting shaken down by the police didn’t deter Kieffer Bray’s trajectory into fascism though and he gained membership in the now defunct Embrace Struggle Active Club and the NJ chapter of ‘White Lives Matter” (WLM-NJ). Samuel’s bad choices and behavior were not exclusive to nazi groups. During 2022 he continued to make bonehead decisions- leading the police on a high speed chase on August 19.
A snapshot from Bray’s 2022 arrest by police for leading them on high speed chase.
Kieffer Bray’s court case number, 22002671, was readily available and easy to find.
As a first time offender he was not sentenced to jail but instead received pre-trial Intervention. On January 8, 2024 he was sentenced to probation and if he gets into no further trouble with the law past July 8, 2025 his record and charges will be erased.
While he was a member of WLM-NJ he crossed paths with Michael “Doc Grimson” Brown, who was publicly identified by Corvallis Antifa in November 2022. Doc Brown is infamously known as the failed Terrorgram bank robber, and upon his release from federal custody last month was transferred to his local county jail and is serving an 11 month sentence for violating his probation on a previous case. Brown and Kieffer Bray trained together before Brown attempted to rob the bank. Court documents reveal that Kieffer Bray was with Nicholas Mucci when the WLM-NJ member attempted to attack a One People’s Project show. Mucci is currently serving an 8 year sentence. Kieffer Bray is pictured above with Brown and in a video posted to Mucci’s Instagram account wearing the same boots and camouflage shorts.

Kieffer Bray is pictured in this photo from NJEHA’s failed Princeton, NJ demo from two years ago walking next to Claudino Petrucelli (in t-shirt).
Like all of Claudino’s ANaC minions, Samuel Kieffer Bray falls in line because Claudino preys on weak minds. Samuel also attempted to join NJP but it seems that he was rejected. He can still be found in the comments on TRS with the name saffronlizard.
In 2022 Kieffer Bray attempted to become a personal trainer but failed to achieve lift off. Evidence of this can be found on his LinkedIn profile below.
Profile picture on LinkedIn
It is believed that Kieffer Bray currently works at a warehouse in NJ. Any further information regarding Kieffer Bray can be sent to phillyfashwatch@riseup.net
Lemley can be seen here wearing a confederate flag shirt and holding a white power flag. Claudino Petrucelli is next to him wearing a white shirt.
From the outside, the life of Sean Lemley looks very different than Samuel Kieffer Bray but don’t let that fool you. Lemley has been involved in hate groups led by Claudino Petrucelli since 2021. He has participated in many campaigns designed to intimidate diverse communities from Pennsylvania to Connecticut. From anti immigration rallies to white supremacist banner drops, to the intimidation of businesses, and racist graffiti and stickering runs, Lemley has been a central player within regional nazi activity of ANaC and WLM-NJ.
Lemley is 28 years old and lives with his parents in Lyndhurst, NJ. Family pictures we’ve reviewed paint a picture of a nice loving normal family, so why is Lemley a nazi? It is believed he was radicalized online and connected with Claudino in-person through volunteering in local GOP politics where they bonded over their shared hate and prejudices. Lemley is in poor company though, as 3 former nazi members of groups run by Claudino are in jail, including Andrew Takhistov, who was arrested in 2024 on domestic terrorism charges related to his plan to attack the NJ power grid.
Lemley was easy to find due to the fact that his social media presence is sloppy and he has a penchant to wear the exact same outfits in every photo. Additionally ANaC’s security around their published propaganda photos is shit, so it made Lemley low hanging fruit. Below is a documentation of Lemley’s participation and involvement over the last 20 months in ANaC in the form of photo evidence.

The following day on November 11, 2024, Claudino made another post on the ANaC telegram showing that the organization TRAC wrote about them. He made sure to add nazi imagery in his response, which we are using to prove exactly what Sean Lemley is- a nazi. TRAC if you’re reading this please stop providing free advertising to nazi’s.

Aftermath of flyer removal from the Art Museum on the campus of Rutgers on April 11, 2025
In April 2025 Lemley and Claudino put up flyers designed to create racial tension on the Rutgers New Brunswick campus. Antifascists found and removed the flyer shortly after they were posted. They were spotted walking around 2:00AM on April 12th near the campus. The removed flyers had the telegram channel listed of Atlantic Nationalist Club.
In 2024 Lemley ran for a position on the Lyndhurst Board of Education, albeit unsuccessfully. Despite losing, he did manage to get 1,931 votes in the election. It is well known that Lemley has close ties to other elected school board members, including Anthony Giarusso. Giarusso owns a popular GOP bar that Lemley and Claudino Petrucelli have been spotted at in Lyndhurst, NJ called City Lounge.
Because of the very public relationship Lemley has with Giarusso and the fact that he is comfortable enough to bring his nazi group members around the City Lounge bar it’s hard to believe that Giarusso is in the dark about Lemley’s true politics. We believe the board should be aware of this connection too. All 9 elected members are listed here along with their email addresses. We have sent this article to them and are awaiting their response.
Lemley is currently employed at ShopRite in Lyndhurst, NJ on New York Avenue. If you want to let store management know about Sean’s activities, the store can be reached at (201) 372-6181.
Being a nazi has consequences. Antifascists will always defend our communities against people who spread hate. To the few remaining members of Atlantic Nationalist Club that are reading this- Claudino does not give a shit about you. The same way he doesn’t care that Nick, Andrew, and Steve are sitting in jail.
The world they built is collapsing—and it was never meant to hold us anyway. The air is thick with smog and endings. And still, we remain. Beneath the ruin, something stirs: hands in soil, medicine from weeds, instructions passed through broken frequencies. We are not gathering to be seen. We are gathering to prepare.
We’re calling for workshops on what keeps us alive and thriving outside of capital; in the face of extinction: guerrilla gardening, wild plant ID, DIY healthcare, tincture-making, abortion access, hormone care, self-defense, somatics, self-regulation, bio remediation, prepper magic, makeshift shelters, analog comms, wilderness first aid, infrared detection avoidance, squatting for longevity, and anti-tech survival that exists outside of omnipresent surveillance.
We want to know what to do when there’s no food on the shelves, when the grid goes dark, when the body breaks down and no help is coming. We want to explore how to interfere, how to disrupt, how to wound the systems that keep us docile, monitored, and afraid. There are many forms of offense. Let’s explore all of them.
Just as urgently, we need the skills that keep us from turning on each other. The kind of survival that chooses care as strategy. That knows self-tending is not separate from community defense. That resists disposability and domination alike. That finds ways to stay in relationship even through rupture. If you hold knowledge that feeds, protects, soothes, or repairs—bring it.
The future is burning. Let us gather what’s worth saving, and learn to defend it.

Sigh … Atlantic Nationalist Club it’s trying something stupid again. The fact that we know about it should tell you how much they are failing.
A neo-Nazi organization in New Jersey that has been trying to make a name for themselves is planning to rally on June 21, but have not yet decided where they will hold it — between Philadelphia, Pa., or Princeton, N.J.
Atlantic Nationalist Club (ANaC), a spinoff organization from a New Jersey chapter of White Lives Matter (WLM) founded by its former head Claudino G. Petruccelli, does not have many members and three of them have been incarcerated over the past two years: Nick Mucci who attempted to attack a One People’s Project benefit show, Andrew Takhistov who is accused of plotting to destroy energy facilities, and Steven Koshlyak who was arrested the same week as Takhistov but his charges have not been made public after almost a year. In November 2022, Koshlyak was one of three, along with Petruccelli, arrested in Somerville, N.J., when they attempted to post WLM stickers on street posts and signs around town. Petruccelli additionally received a weapons charge for possessing a can of pepper spray larger than the legal size in New Jersey. These incidents, and the feeling that the group is compromised by antifascists, have kept other neo-Nazis away from Petruccelli and his group.
The original announcement. “Katamine” is a screen name Claudino Petruccelli uses.
When the group protested outside the One People’s Project office in December, they were confronted at a local diner by OPP members who learned about their plans that night before. Two months later, they attempted to protest outside a bookstore in New Haven, Conn., but patrons were waiting for them when they arrived because their plans for that rally were also leaked.
Petruccelli has shown a pattern of reckless violent behavior recently including a fight, also in Connecticut, two weeks before the bookstore rally. That fight with members of the Nationalist Social Club and its leader Chris Hood led to people being stabbed. On March 30, there was an attempt to set up fellow neo-Nazi William Andrew Wessells to attack in a Princeton, N.J. shopping mall parking lot, but that fight did not materialize. Wessells currently, along with his partner Tara Streb, run the WLM chapter in New Jersey, Petruccelli’s old position.

In April, Petruccelli and fellow ANaC member Sean Lemley, who works at a ShopRight supermarket in Lyndhurst, NJ that ran for the school board there last fall, returned to New Brunswick, N.J., to post flyers attacking Karmelo Anthony, who is currently facing murder charges after he stabbed Austin Metcalf in an altercation at a Texas high school that looks to be a case of self defense on the part of Anthony. Antifascists followed them while they walked the Rutgers University campus as they looked for a place to affix the flyers, which they eventually posted on the glass doors and windows of two university buildings and which were removed before anyone saw them. Petruccelli or Lemley knew they were being observed.
On May 17, Petruccelli said in a post on his Signal account, where he uses the name “Ketamine,” that he expected 30 participants. Regardless of the reputation the ANaC has with other groups, they hope to have them join them at their rally on the longest day of the year.
Paul Minton — a snitch, pedophile, and lifelong flip flop — has re-appeared in Philadelphia claiming to be an anarchist after being run out of town for being a white supremacist. Specifically he been seen on the dating app Tinder claiming to be a green anarchist looking to make friends and find romance. This quick write up and link dump is for those who don’t know who he is. Paul Minton should not be trusted, his history of white supremacist organizing, snitching, and creepy and dishonest social relations are all reasons anarchists and other radicals should be extremely cautious and skeptical of Paul.
Paul Minton, also known as Misk and Paulie, has organized with numerous fascist groups. Paul has been involved with White Lives Matter, PA Active Club, Rise Above Movement, S14, Keystone State Skinheads/Keystone United, as well as being a neo-nazi skinhead as a young man.
Paul has a checkered history of dabbling a number of cultures and social circles be returning to organized racism. Paul has been an orthodox Muslim, a vegan (and claims to be again), a hardcore punk music fan, and bafflingly, an anti-fascist! Around 2016 Paul became active in anti-fascist organizing, working with others to confront the far right resurgence of the first Trump presidency. It was during this time that he began grooming a then 13 year old girl who he would later impregnate. By 2020 Paul had been ostracized by local anti-fascists and leftist due to his unpredictable and harmful behavior. Around 2021 he returned to fascist organizing, doxxing many of his former anti-fascist comrades. Today in 2025, he is popping up again, this time claiming to be a green anarchist.
There’s no way to know if Paul Minton really considers himself an anarchist, but if he has shown himself to be anything it’s a flip-flop and a betrayer. Even if Paul is genuinely interested in green anarchy right now, it is very likely that he will eventually return to white supremacy. Any green anarchists, ecologically oriented radicals, or anti-fascists he meets between then and now should know he may well dox, harass, or snitch on them.

ALERTA! Paul Minton is a neo Nazi living in South Philly
Very excited to announce that we will be dedicating the historical marker honoring Local 8 and Ben Fletcher on June 21st! Over a year ago, we dedicated a mural in their honor and now it’s time to get back together for the historical marker.
Please join us in celebrating Local 8’s legacy of militant unionism and build connections with our local IWW branch.
**Date:** June 21st
**Time:** Noon
**Location:** Spruce Street Harbor Park
We must remember Local 8 and Ben Fletcher because he is a hero the Philadelphian working class created and his memory is still a threat to power, oppression, racism, and greed. As politicians and the owning class continue to ignore our needs and attack our right to organize, it’s important to understand the origins of racial segregation and systemic racism as part of the system that is still with us and that we must actively combat.
As an international, multi-racial, and gender inclusive union that has been around for over a hundred years, our struggle continues today. We organize workplaces to improve our material conditions and help others trying to build democracy in their workplaces too.
Let this historical marker stand as a commemoration to Fellow Workers, both past and present, and a reaffirmation of our need to organize as a working class to abolish the wage system. We reject electoral politics and vote begging as a means of improving our material conditions and instead, we recognize that the solution to our suffering lies with each other. We welcome all who want to organize and strengthen the labor movement, so we can grip industries through militant working class solidarity and win demands.
Thank you and shout out to @gemolteni for the poster designs!
Videos showed a large confrontation at the intersection of 11th and Market Streets around 7 p.m.
Philadelphia police clash with activists at 11th and Markets Streets during a protest over rumors of Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrests within the city and in solidarity with protesters in Los Angeles.
Two Philadelphia police officers suffered minor injuries and 15 protesters were arrested after a physical confrontation erupted during a march denouncing deportations Tuesday evening in Center City, police said.
Two protesters also reported minor injuries and received medical treatment, police said.
Video showed a confrontation at the intersection of 11th and Market Streets with police arresting at least one masked man, who was held down on the ground with the officer’s knee, while other officers used bicycles to push protesters away.
Another video showed at least three officers struggle to pull down another man they apparently were trying to arrest. One officer with a bullhorn struck the man several times in the legs with a baton and the man fell to the ground.
“Several officers employed force while making arrests. Consistent with Philadelphia Police Department policy, every use of force has been documented and will undergo a review to ensure compliance with departmental guidelines,” the department said in a statement late Tuesday night.
“The Philadelphia Police Department supports the public’s right to lawful, peaceful protest. We remain committed to facilitating First Amendment activity while protecting public safety and maintaining order on city streets,” the department said.
Around 4 p.m., about 50 people gathered for an “emergency action” at the Federal Detention Center at Seventh and Arch Streets after rumors about multiple arrests by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the city spread online. ICE did not immediately return requests for comment.
Immigrant rights group Juntos confirmed one ICE arrest in South Philadelphia at about 7 a.m. Tuesday, adding the group had connected the person to the Mexican Consulate for legal support.
The crowd drew honks and cheers from evening commuters, and after growing in size began marching.
Police said at some point there were 150 demonstrators.
The group marched to the offices of ICE at Eighth and Cherry Street, then returned to the Federal Detention Center, police said.
Then, according to police, there was a second march that began disrupting traffic and allegedly endangered public safety.

Police said they issued orders to disperse three times. The protesters allegedly ignored the orders and continued blocking traffic while confronting officers.
Around 7 p.m., police attempted to make arrests and the “crowd’s behavior escalated, becoming violent and extremely disorderly.”
Besides the 15 arrests, including one for alleged felony aggravated assault on an officer, police said one of their vehicles was vandalized with spray paint.
One immigration advocate, who declined to give his name, said those arrested were unclear on what they did wrong.
“Police pushed them for six or seven blocks,” he said. “They declared it an illegal assembly.”
President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown led to violent clashes in the Los Angeles area after large numbers of heavily geared officers from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement descended on several locations to detain people.

“It was a peaceful protest and then they started throwing people to the ground,” said Dresden Diaz, of Center City. “The attacks were vicious.”
One woman, who declined to give her name citing fear of police reprisal, said she joined the protesters after work because she thinks the immigration enforcement in Los Angeles and the Trump administration’s subsequent use of the National Guard to quell peaceful protests is “disgusting.”
“Immigrants make up this country, our families are immigrants,” said another woman.
Around 8:30 p.m., a small group of protesters returned to the Federal Detention Center. No other incidents were reported.
Around Pennsylvania, immigration advocates and ICE reported increased enforcement sweeps.
More than 20 people in Norristown have been taken into custody by ICE since the start of the month.
Philadelphia, PA — “Before long the entire city will know what this company does!” These were some of the last words spoken Tuesday morning by a protester with a megaphone and a kaffiyeh scarf after a few dozen people had gathered for two hours outside a well-appointed office building in Center City Philadelphia. Their target was Day & Zimmermann, a “construction, engineering, staffing and ammunition manufacture” company that makes shells and machine gun rounds used by Israel to kill Palestinians.
Employees arriving for work at the weapons manufacturer’s headquarters on June 3 found themselves greeted with banners reading “Day & Zimmermann Out Of Philly! – No Genocide Profiteers In Our Neighborhood” and “Day and Zimmermann Profits From Genocide in Gaza.“
Day & Zimmermann was previously visited by protesters in March and April 2024 who oppose its lucrative role in arming the ongoing Israeli genocide in occupied Palestine.
A new protest campaign just launched by the Philly chapter of Students For Justice in Palestine (SJP) has vowed to bring shame and attention to Day & Zimmermann every Tuesday morning.
Tuesday morning’s visit to Day & Zimmermann’s offices highlighted the role of the “genocide profiteer” in the January 29, 2024 massacre in which Israeli soldiers killed 6-year-old Hind Rajab, six of her family members, and two paramedics. An exploded shell found at the scene of Rajab’s murder was traced via serial number to the Iowa Army Ammunition Plant, which is owned and operated by Day & Zimmermann. (More info on this below.)
A Philly SJP spokesperson told Unicorn Riot,
“We’re committed to getting Day & Zimmermann the fuck out of Philly… they’re one of the country and the world’s leading weapons manufacturers… We are hoping to mobilize people against the murderers of Hind Rajab and countless other Palestinians… and kick them the fuck out.”

Activists chanted and distributed leaflets educating passers-by and employees in nearby businesses about their neighbor’s role in facilitating genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza. Several people working near the Day & Zimmermann HQ expressed shock and concern, with one woman telling protesters “y’all are doing God’s work, for real,” and remarking that she was aware of issues around the University of Pennsylvania’s investments in Israel but not of such a direct connection to her daily routine.
Clusters of protesters gathered outside the two front entrances on 1500 Spring Garden St. as well as Day & Zimmermann’s back entrance and employee parking gate by the intersection of 15th & Hamilton, where several prepared statements were read outlining recent Israeli massacres of Palestinians as employees walked by to clock in to work.
No arriving employees arriving interacted with any demonstrators; a building security employee briefly explained that they would not be permitted to block any entrances. Approximately a dozen Philadelphia Police, occasionally speaking with building security staff who would walk up to their cruisers, were deployed in vehicles scattered around the immediate area; a couple plainclothes officers sporting Civil Affairs Unit armbands stood closer to the building entrances monitoring the protest.
CBS Philadelphia (KYW-TV), whose headquarters is in the same building at 1500 Spring Garden, did not send a reporter to cover the protest despite their proximity. A CBS employee who spoke to Unicorn Riot on their way into work insisted that management was aware of the demonstration.
Day & Zimmermann bills itself as “a leading provider of munitions” and reportedly has over 43,000 employees in the US. The company has not responded to a request for comment as of publication time.
According to a research summary by the American Friends Service Committee, shells fired by Israeli Merkava tanks at the site of Hind Rajab’s murder and a November 2023 attack on a U.N. school had serial numbers that trace back to Mason & Hanger, a subsidiary of Day & Zimmermann for the last 25 years:
Day & Zimmermann, based in Pennsylvania, is a private munitions manufacturer. It operates the Iowa Army Ammunition Plant (IAAP), which has been the source of many of the artillery munitions used by the Israeli military, including 155mm rounds, fired by Israel’s M109 howitzer guns, and 120mm M830A1 High Explosive Anti-Tank (HEAT) round, fired by Israel’s Merkava battle tanks.
Mason & Hanger has operated the IAAP since 1951. Between 1998 and 2007, the factory was operated by American Ordnance, a joint venture of Mason & Hanger and General Dynamics. Day & Zimmermann acquired Mason & Hanger in 1999, and in 2007 it acquired General Dyanmics’ stake in American Ordnance.
In November 2023, Israeli tanks fired M830A1 rounds while attacking a U.N. school in Gaza. The serial number on one of the rounds recovered from the scene of the attack suggests that it was manufactured at the IAAP by Mason & Hanger in December 1990.
On January 19, 2024, Israeli tanks fired M830A1 rounds in an attack that killed six-year-old Hind Rajab, her six family members, and the medics who attempted to rescue her, in the Gaza neighborhood of Tel al-Hawa. The serial number on an exploded round found inside the ambulance sent to rescue Rajab suggests that it was manufactured at the IAAP by Mason & Hanger in November 1996.
In December 2023, the U.S. government used emergency measures to approve the transfer of 14,000 M830A1 tank rounds to Israel without Congressional review. The transfer—from the existing inventory of the U.S. Army–was worth $106.5 million and funded by U.S. taxpayers’ money.
Day & Zimmermann’s factory in Texarkana, Texas, is the current supplier of M830A1 rounds for the U.S. Army. Between 2017 and 2021, the U.S. Army’s supplier of these munitions was a Northrop Grumman factory in Plymouth, Minn.
A letter writing night for Elias Rodriguez and Casey Goonan, both are accused of fighting in the U$A against the colonization of Palestine. As the struggles to free Palestine escalate and face repression, we can break the isolation of imprisonment and the justice system. Writing letters is one way we can strengthen the connections and spirit that make struggles possible. Bring friends and snacks, we’ll provide paper, pens, envelopes, and stamps.
As of the week of June 2, 2025, Cherry Hill police remote camera centers have been spotted at the Cherry Hill Home Depot located at 2160 Route 70 West.
The police camera set up is positioned in the middle of the parking lot in front of the store.
Any explanation from the police, state, corporate entities, or the mainstream media about the camera system should be assessed with extreme caution as it is likely dubious. Community members in the area have expressed concern about the camera’s purpose as it doesn’t match the store or police’s response for “loss prevention”. Home Depot store policy dictates they do not actively pursue potential shoplifters and instead utilize their own in-store cameras and the police to catch people after the fact.
The Cherry Hill police have a long history of collaboration with ICE, with ICE even having a former field office located in Cherry Hill, NJ. Currently ICE operates 25 official field offices across the United States, two of which are in driving distance located in Newark, NJ and Philadelphia, PA. ICE also operates several sub-field offices across the state of NJ including one in Mt. Laurel which is located near Cherry Hill.
Any police camera centers, especially around places the federal government has deemed as heavily trafficked by undocumented immigrants, should be treated with caution and reported to area antifascists.

Vaughn Uprising prisoner, one of the only two prisoners from the Vaughn 17 to be convicted. As one write-up put it, “Jarreau Ayers and Dwayne Staats, already incarcerated under the hopeless sentence of life without parole, took it upon themselves to admit to involvement to prevent the rest of their comrades being found unjustifiably guilty, which led to success – not guilty verdicts or their charges being dropped.”
