excerpt/sample from the audio version of Katherine McKittrick's Demonic Grounds: Black Women and the Cartographies of Struggle.
Definitely worth listening/reading the whole book but this is a great opening/refresher exposure to some Black feminist theory in general.

[Chilean Prisons] 1 Year After the Departure of Tortuga and Belén. Words by the Subversive Comrade Marcelo Villarroel
The daily struggle and anti-prison resistance from the centers of extermination and isolation could not be possible without the fruitful bond of insurrectionary complicity between different comrades in different parts of reality.
In high and maximum security cells, in the clandestine mountains, in the cities and metropolises strewn with technovigilance, on the paths of the struggle to live free… there is always one of us, one who does not adapt, nor surrenders to the ups and downs of the citizens of the domain and that is where we find ourselves with Tortuga, on that path of subversive antagonism and with Belén in the free walk through Anarchy.
We walk with our dead, prisoners and escapees. It is not a slogan but pure reality. We are living with our lights and shadows that feed the eternal fire of our rebellion. We are steadily seeking to change this by making it change in us first even though we know it. We sleep without lowering our arms and we resist, we persist and nothing stops us, not even the death that embraces us inevitably on this long road.
A fraternal and complicit embrace for all those who are not stopped by anything and no one. To those who organize, to the imprisoned comrades who were exiled and to all those who resist with dignity in the prisons and cages.
1 year after the departure of Tortuga and the Belén we will continue to sow Chaos and Anarchy!!
With all our brothers and sisters and fallen comrades!!
Anarchists, Subversives and Mapuche Prisoners, out of the prisons now!!
Until destroying the last bastion of prison society!!
As long as there is misery there will be rebellion!!

[Basque Country] Attack on German Insurance Company Allianz in Solidarity with Comrade Daniela Klette and for a Black August
Words are important, yes. But when they remain only that, in words, they are useless, only to fill one’s mouth with air, those words lose their meaning. When we say we give solidarity and we want the freedom of the prisoners or when we demand the freedom of the Palestinian people, we have to be consistent, if we analyze only reality, if we confront only ideas, if in the end we stay only with intentions, we stay halfway. There was a time when anarchists combined word and action, theory and practice. And that was our essence as well as our way of distinguishing ourselves from others. While politicians talk and talk and we despise them for that very reason, for their charlatanism, for their despicable changes of direction according to convenience, and ultimately for their innocuousness in changing the established. We said it then and we say it now, that theory is not valid without practice, just as ambivalences or lack of commitment are not valid, nor is wasting time in Sufisms. The time to think without acting is over, the time to analyze without the proper consequences is over. Finally, it was time, said the old anarchists in the past, we are finally doing something, we say now. Enough talk, enough inaction, the Palestinians will say as they slaughter them daily. This is how we also say enough, freedom to the imprisoned comrades.
Everything is already written. Everything has already been analyzed. Everything is more than clear. What prevents us from taking action, what paralyzes us when it comes to being consistent with our ideas and decisions? Is it perhaps the fear of being worse? We are abhorring ourselves with the Western lifestyle, work, consumption and obedience. While our fallen comrades have given the best of their lives to change this shit in which we live, while our comrades are persecuted or imprisoned, we cannot stand still or make the usual protests that already smell of mothballs, of a museum of protest or even worse of corpses before resurrecting.
If history tells us that any struggle to change this increasingly militaristic, authoritarian and exclusionary existence is redirected, crushed or assimilated, let us make it intransigent, uncontrollable and not assimilable in practice.
For this reason, and to begin with ourselves, we have decided to assume the responsibility of continuing to practice here and now the revolutionary gymnastics so dear to our dear comrades of aye, today and tomorrow. We will see if they can assimilate these practices, we will see if they will be able to stop the anger that grows within us, we will see if they will be able to control the social tsunami that is coming. In this civilized Europe there may be no more social, worker-peasant revolutions, there may not be more revolts of the conscious masses. We don’t care. As the French revolutionaries said when they were going to storm the Bastille, then a prison, with the intention of freeing those detained there: it will be what it will be… and we will not be alone to see it happen.
Thus, fraternizing with our siblings Belén Navarrete, Luciano Pitronello and Luciano Balboa, we participate in this way in the international call for a Black August.
On Monday, August 25th, we threw stones at the window of the German insurance subsidiary Allianz, in Altsasu-Alsasua (Nafarroa), as a gesture of solidarity to the recently arrested German colleague Daniela Klette.
Free Daniela k.
Nothing and no one will be forgotten
Prisoners on the street.
For a Black August

White radfem fedi TIRFs who's entire queer community consists of mostly online, mostly predominantly white spaces: transmascs don't do anything for themselves. All they do is whine about transfems and be MRA bros. All they do is take from the queer community, they contribute nothing. Transmascs don't even know how to build their own spaces, they just expect transfems to do all that work.
Meanwhile, transmascs out in the real world:
