Gays, Crazies, and Motherfuckers: #Anarchists in the Stonewall Uprising
Towards a #Queer History of Riots and Affinity Group Organizing
What can today’s rebels learn from the Stonewall riots? Why did the uprising have such an impact? To answer these questions, we explore the previously unacknowledged significance of at least two anarchist groups—the Motherfuckers and the Crazies—in the rebellion and the movements that emerged from it. Along the way, we trace a queer genealogy of #anarchist organizing methods in North America from the #Stonewall Uprising through the WTO protests in Seattle in 1999 to today.

The fight to protect voting rights never ends, and right now, we’re witnessing a Jim-Crow-era effort from politicians and their billionaire friends to restrict our freedoms, silence our voices, and consolidate power. But in America, we choose our leaders. We will decide our future. The same spirit that fueled Selma, Montgomery, and the March on Washington lives on in our unified action. Six years after the passing of Congressman Lewis, we're organizing an event in our community to carry the torch, continue the legacy of John Lewis, and pass it forward to future generations. Join us! A core principle behind all Good Trouble Lives On events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events. Friday July 17th, 2026 The Licking County NAACP is hosting a “Good Trouble Lives On” pre-rally at Trinity AME Church: 64 East St. Newark Ohio from 4:30-5pm. Main “Good Trouble Lives On” rally at Licking County Courthouse from 5:15-6pm: 20 S. 2nd St. Newark Ohio. There will be guest speakers and songs performed by the Licking County Resistance Choir, followed by a march around the courthouse.

At Lehigh Valley Stands Up, we believe that data centers have no place in our neighborhoods and communities! What is Project Atlas? It is a massive proposed hyperscale data center campus spanning over 410 acres across three parcels along North Cedar Crest Boulevard (near Mauch Chunk Road and Orefield Road). Key details of the current preliminary plan include: Scale: A 5.1 million-square-foot development footprint. Infrastructure: The plan features six data center buildings, a dedicated electric substation, and a massive array of 356 Tier 2 diesel backup generators alongside extensive cooling systems. Local Impact: Because the site sits directly across the street from Parkland High School, the proposal has drawn significant pushback from the school board and local community groups over concerns regarding noise, low-frequency vibrations, heavy water/power consumption, and soil stability.
