Submitted by wildleaf on Thu, 10/15/2009 - 13:33.PMR is up and active again because the Strikers are expected to return around the October 18-22 through Tacoma.

Submitted by Insanevillian on Mon, 09/28/2009 - 20:30.An analysis of militant-street protest,
movement strategy, and the state of anarchism. Based around the G20
Pittsburgh demonstrations.
By: Ryan Harvey - September 24, 2009

G20 is upon us, and though BBC world news featured some of "the
troubles" in Pittsburgh, on the ground reports hardly match up with the
