🎴 Stop ICE Interrnment Camps In Georgia, & An Inspiring Weekend Of Action

by

A GREAT TIME AT THE FREE FAIR – February 23, 2026 This is Brandyn Buchanan, I’m the chairman of Mosaic Atlanta. It’s a pleasure to be speaking to you this Monday.

I’d rather just give you an update but there’s nothing more annoying than some rando giving their takes while speaking about what “we / the people” think. 

Anyway.

In life, the fear of missing something can sometimes be more of a motivator than the eagerness to go.

So, in case you missed it, there was a mini winter free fair Saturday with lots of great speakers, exhibitions and memories.

It was great to have so much participation from membership.

One of our members brought a survey and shuttled in a bunch of zines that the research group designed and printed. There were tons of responses – so many that it felt like a waste of time to do a … Read more

Spring 2025 Partial Victories

Hello, Everybody. The most interesting news this weekend is that Trump is (reportedly) leaving Minnesota. It’s not over yet as organizers on the ground say immigration enforcement is very active, but we’re heading into what promises to be a violent and stressful and chaotic year as the project to establish an authoritarian dictatorship isn’t going to go away anywhere.

A damn shame we have problems closer to home. In Social Circle Atlanta, they’ve built a massive warehouse and plan to cram 10,000 people into a tiny town. It seems like a sanitation nightmare out in the middle of nowhere especially if the heat’s going crazy in the middle of nowhere.

If you’re interested, join our ICE working group and we’ll connect you to a flurry of activity.

It’s Been “Abolish ICE” Over Here.

by

For like a long time.

Have you been watching the news lately? Especially and particularly about what’s happening in Minneapolis – it’s been a non-stop “rolling crisis,” as some experts are calling it, and it should piss off anyone with a conscience.

But seeing how regular people are standing up and doing whatever it takes to stop it? It should give anyone hope and inspiration.

These government agencies – ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and CBP (Customs and Border Protection) have ramped up their activities in Minneapolis as an act of political retribution. Since December 2025, they’ve sent thousands of agents, and they’re acting like they’re in a war zone, not a city. They call it “Metro Surge,” and Tom Homan (the barely distinguishable replacement for disgraced Nazi cosplayer Gregory Bovino) is referring to the city as a “theater”, with accostments and arrests at during traffic stops, home raids, and … Read more

Man vs. Method – Person vs. Process

by

It was just a regular night and we’d started with a discussion of Zohran Mamdani, the current mayor of New York. “What do y’all think?” The resulting explosion of thought wasn’t really about him of course. It became a well worn discussion about how change actually happens. Like your friends arguing about whether you need a better recipe or a better chef to make a great meal.

“Find a Hero”

Russell spoke about a faith in extraordinary people. For him, the key is finding a leader with character, that being, a person whose entire life was a credible pattern of making the hard, principled choice on people’s behalf. Only someone like that, he argued, could walk into the corrupting halls of power and not be bent by them.

“We need a system that is designed with incentives in mind. One that aligns representatives’ interests with the many over the few, … Read more

PRESS RELEASE : Read Our Statement On Escalating Risk Of War In Venezuela

by

We are writing to express our alarm at the repeated extrajudicial killings of unidentified civilians in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean by U.S. military forces and the escalating risk of war against Venezuela. This is particularly alarming after the Senate failed to pass a War Powers Resolution that would have required congressional approval for military action in or against Venezuela (US Constitution, Article I, Sec. 8, Clause 11). We demand that journalists report the facts truthfully and do not feed into the government’s campaign of warmongering.

Since the beginning of September, the U.S. military has carried out strikes against boats in the Caribbean Sea and in the Pacific Ocean, resulting in over 70 civilian deaths. These strikes include “double-tap” strikes like the one on the 2nd of September, which violate the laws of war by targeting personnel after they are already incapacitated. The Trump administration has not provided any … Read more

Hands Off Venezuela! A Conversation Beyond The Headlines

by

 

The conversation started casually enough. We’d all been brought together by a protest against President Trumps illegal and insane actions in Latin America.

How do we have conversations with our friends about these issues?

As the group sat around talking about their conversations in the community, something became clear: not everyone they knew, really knew much about the place beyond those fragments they saw on the news.

What followed was a sprawling, messy, sometimes funny discussion that touched on everything from baseball players to oil cartels, from cowboy culture to the Panama Canal, from nationalization debates to the sound of a *cuatro venezolano* being strummed in a living room.

You’re reading that conversation—lightly edited for clarity, but preserving the voices, disagreements, and discoveries that emerged.

The Venezuela We Think We Know “I think the average person just hears ‘United States and Latin America,’ and they put their hands over … Read more

No Kings, No Masters: Breaking From Liberal Hegemony

by

As a result of Trump’s accession to power and the resulting left-liberal upsurge, the far left is being forced to ask ourselves different kinds of questions. These events have driven huge numbers of people into the world of social activism and brought liberals and the left closer together. Instead of playing gadfly to a liberal administration, like it was under Biden, there are now meaningful opportunities to find common ground with liberals against fascism. The danger for the left is that the liberal establishment would like to use this closeness to subsume the most active parts of the base into the NGO industrial complex, and stultify the rest into taking no real revolutionary action. They want to shape the world of social activism along electoral, reformist lines, but they will not be able to. We also have fleeting chances to reshape this world into one that we want, but first … Read more

Host Productive General Meetings

by

General meeting happens once a month. And a well made general meeting will take about a month to create. If you take a week to relax, the meeting will probably not be as good. That sucks. But it is just true.

We do these things for a good reason though.

And if you can do a good general meeting, you barely have to worry about anything else for the month.

A well produced general meeting will create a month of activity inside your organization. Good meetings are a building block of organizing. It needs to happen on time and it needs to respect the time of everybody involved. If we can do those two things, we’re really flying.

It’s not like issues aren’t vital and shouldn’t be discussed to their full detail. But also, you’re just gonna have some people who love arguing, like as a hobby or they’re passionate … Read more
