Bring back hanging
Was just coming here to post this - to give some people how serious the fire was two people lost their lives and the entire complex is now 'red-taped' - that's residential bits, studios, warehouses etc.
I do believe it's been rewritten and is available online: https://thefreeonline.wordpress.com/testing-downloads/ - but then, I'm not sure how much it will've changed from the one you read.I want to read it again now.
Thank you, was glad to read thatHappy mayday. This about something that didn't happen in May, though.

"Just a few years ago it would have been utterly inconceivable that an anarchist would be honoured by having his name given to a street in the capital. But two weeks ago Madrid City Council agreed unanimously to name a street after a man known as the Red Angel, Melchor Rodriguez Garcia."

Solidarity and Silence: the story of Ona Šimaitė, librarian lifesaver [review]
We owe Julija Šukys a debt of gratitude for retrieving Šimaitė’s story. Šimaitė knew how to keep silent, and of course part of that silence comes from trauma. I also think she knew, as a working class female radical, the value of being overlooked, of hiding in plain sight. She recounts one ‘errand’, when she ransoms Gershon Malakiewicz: ‘how dare I pay the ransom of a Jew? […] They hurl insults. […] I play stupid, pretending to be a woman who knows nothing.’ Hopefully this account of Šimaitė’s life will encourage people to think of all the unknowns who did the right thing and never spoke, or never could speak, of it.
