Ursula K Le Guinâs The Dispossessed is a thought experiment in anarchist practice, a meditation on individual relationships as a model for political action, a treatise on the philosophy and physics of time, a climate change novel, and so full of other things that it didnât have room for the communal pickle barrels.*
Join us on Wednesday, June 29th at 7:00 PM at the bookstore for the first meeting of the Iffy Books reading group, featuring The Dispossessed. Stop by the shop ahead of time to pick up a copy, available for $8.99.
Discussion hosted by Joshua Kopin.

On the morning of June 17th we used paint and glass etch to fuck with windows on luxury apartment construction at 48th and Spruce and gentry construction at 51st and Baltimore. We also smashed out the front doors and windows at 51st and Baltimore. We did this to fight gentrification and to contribute to the new wave of anarchist attack in the US. We also did this to have fun!
Happy Pride!

Hatewatch at the Southern Poverty Law Center has published a report exposing a neo-Nazi publishing house in Pennsylvania:
Hatewatchâs research and analysis reveals that Vincent Cucchiara, 24, and Sarah Elizabeth Cucchiara (nĂ©e Nahrgang), 25, a married couple residing in Green Lane, Pennsylvania, are two of the individuals behind Antelope Hill. The pair have appeared as pseudonymous spokespersons for the company on numerous far-right podcasts, with Sarah Cucchiara billed under aliases as the companyâs editor-in-chief since mid-2021. Hatewatchâs investigation indicates that a third person, Dmitri Anatolievich Loutsik, 25, has played a less public role in the companyâs operations. Loutsik appears to have first relocated to Pennsylvaniaâs Lehigh Valley in 2021, and in late April he bought a house in nearby Harleysville, Pennsylvania, with Vincent Cucchiara assisting as the buyerâs agent.
Since 2020, Antelope Hill has profited from hate by translating historical works by 20th-century Nazis and fascists, offering a publishing platform to contemporary white power propagandists and shipping books around the world using selling platforms including Amazon. This year, they achieved wider prominence when one of their authors, the pseudonymous Raw Egg Nationalist, appeared in a preview for an upcoming Tucker Carlson documentary on masculinity, which is set to air on Fox Nation in June.
The Cucchiaras and Loutsik have a long, shared history as far-right activists, stretching back to their time together as students at Penn State University in the late 2010s. The publishing operation is one aspect of their ongoing participation in the white power movement. Specifically, Hatewatch has found considerable evidence of close cooperation between the Antelope Hill principals and a network of far-right actors associated with the white supremacist National Justice Party (NJP) and The Right Stuff (TRS) podcast network.

Fire to the prisons!

We smashed out all of the windows of the âHopeâ pregnancy center on Broad st. We are tired of your âfamily valuesâ and you forcing families, and your values onto our bodies. This fake clinic spread lies and is part of a broader attempt to strip away body autonomy from hundreds of women and people. We are inspired by the actions of comrades in Wisconsin, Colorado, New York, and a growing list of places. If the attack on abortion does not stop our attacks will broaden. This is also intended as a small gesture of complicity with all those imprisoned by the state, in honor of June 11th.

A book launch and discussion on OlĂșfáșčÌmi O. TĂĄĂwĂČ’s Elite Capture: How the Powerful Took Over Identity Politics (And Everything Else)
Cosponsored by the Paul Robeson House & Museum
âIdentity politicsâ is everywhere, polarizing discourse from the campaign trail to the classroom and amplifying antagonisms in the media, both online and off. But the compulsively referenced phrase bears little resemblance to the concept as first introduced by the radical Black feminist Combahee River Collective. While the Collective articulated a political viewpoint grounded in their own position as Black lesbians with the explicit aim of building solidarity across lines of difference, identity politics is now frequently weaponized as a means of closing ranks around ever-narrower conceptions of group interests.
But the trouble, OlĂșfáșčÌmi O. TĂĄĂwĂČ deftly argues, is not with identity politics itself. Through a substantive engagement with the global Black radical tradition and a critical understanding of racial capitalism, TĂĄĂwĂČ identifies the process by which a radical concept can be stripped of its political substance and liberatory potential by becoming the victim of elite captureâdeployed by political, social, and economic elites in the service of their own interests.
TĂĄĂwĂČâs crucial intervention both elucidates this complex process and helps us move beyond a binary of âclassâ vs. ârace.â By rejecting elitist identity politics in favor of a constructive politics of radical solidarity, he advances the possibility of organizing across our differences in the urgent struggle for a better world.

Jarreau Ayers
Vaughn Uprising prisoner, one of the only two prisoners from the Vaughn 17 to be convicted. As one write-up put it, âJarreau 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 â not guilty verdicts or their charges being dropped.â You can learn more about Jarreau in his own words here and here.
Pennsylvania uses Connect Network/GTL, so you can contact him online by going to connectnetwork.com, selecting âAdd a facilityâ, choosing âState: Pennsylvania, Facility: Pennsylvania Department of Correctionsâ, going into the âmessagingâ service, and then adding him as a contact by searching his name or âNS9994â.

Hey there! We got an ask: can you help us on Sundays? Weâve had low numbers for a bit and some of our bottom liners are going to be away for portions of the summer. If youâve been thinking about collective work with anarchists and radicals, where you do something constructive for your neighbors who need and appreciate it, NPFNB is for you! We work Sundays out of west philly and in center city, roughly between 2-8, usually a cook crew and a serve crew (no need to work too hard and do both). If this sounds like something youâre into hit us up and we can get you more info. Amazing graphic by @deep_theft
