Following the drastic shift in the policing landscape in Berlin over the last two years, the CDU/SPD coalition has scrambled to codify new police tactics into law. For those who have been at the forefront of the pro-Palestine movement in Berlin, this amendment comes as no surprise. Berliners have seen severe police brutality against demonstrators and an unprecedented use of surveillance and privacy breaches directed at the population. Read the full article on our website.

“When we talk about Gaza, we are just not talking about a place but about an open wound that has been bleeding for over 70 years” Watch @ryad.aref powerful speech at our event “They Didn’t Know We Were Seeds,” held last October at Panke Culture.

As the Ulm 5 are facing prison time over a break-in at an Israeli weapons firm, it’s becoming harder to ignore how closely the same technologies we use daily are tied to companies and states embedded in the economy of war and genocide. This is the case of the FANUC company.  Engineers Against Apartheid are fighting against this practice. T. Giddins have interviewed them, and we have suummarized some points of his interview here. You can read the full interview on our website (link in bio).  You can also find the petition #StopFANUCNow on our website.

❌ KRIEG BEGINNT HIER ✊ Protest gegen Rheinmetall-Aktionärsversammlung vor der Berliner Waffenfabrik 📅 12.05.2026 🕔 17:00 Uhr 📍 Vor dem neuen Rheinmetall-Werk am Humboldthain Scheringstraße 2, Berlin-Gesundbrunnen Rheinmetall profitiert weltweit von Krieg, Aufrüstung und Militarisierung – und feiert am 12. Mai wieder seine stetig steigenden Profite mit Leid und Zerstörung. Während Milliarden in Waffen und Kriegsproduktion fließen, fehlen Gelder für Wohnen, Bildung, Gesundheit und soziale Infrastruktur. Das nehmen wir nicht hin! Kommt am 12. Mai zur Kundgebung gegen die Aktionärsversammlung von Rheinmetall und gegen den Ausbau der Waffenproduktion in Berlin. Wir wollen sichtbar machen: Krieg beginnt nicht erst an der Front – er wird auch hier organisiert, finanziert und produziert. Solange mit Menschenleben Kasse gemacht wird, kann es keinen Frieden geben! Lasst uns gemeinsam ein Zeichen setzen gegen Aufrüstung, Kriegsvorbereitung und Profite auf Kosten von Leben. 💸 Geld für Soziales statt für Krieg und Aufrüstung! 🔥 Keine Waffenproduktion in Berlin! 🚫 Rheinmetall stoppen!

On paper, K. sounds just like the kind of play Berlin would need right now. The “Talmudic Vaudeville show inspired by Kafka’s The Trial,” with text and music in German, Yiddish, and Hebrew, just finished a run at @blnensemble , Bertolt Brecht’s old theater. We live in Kafkaesque times. But K. has nothing to say about anything. It’s Jewish culture as the German bourgeoisie wants it: dead, meaningless cosplay.” I was so disappointed that I wrote a review for @berlinleft

On the 27th of April, the process of the Ulm 5 have started. These five activists are facing up to five years in prison for a non violent action that they have carried out in the German Elbit System subsidiary in Ulm. In his article, Gabriel Helfenstein speaks about Ulm 5 and Elbit Systems. You can read the full article on our website (link in bio)
