Cleveland

So about 10-15 years ago they closed Lakewood hospital and tore it down.

Now it's just a big grass feild, with no signs of future building, but it's all blocked off with fences.

Why?

If you're not going to do anything with the land, put in some swingsets, and monkey bars. Make it a small little park for the kids. Maybe put some bushes in, some picnic tables.

The land isn't flat, or else it would be a great place to play football games.

Why let the land just be abandoned but blocked off?

Donald Trump won the 2024 election on a platform of hate and division, intent on targeting the “vermin” who are “poisoning the blood of the country.”

Now, he and the rest of the fascist forces for an American Third Reich are trying to pull off a “soft” coup to establish their dictatorship. More then ever, people across the country are coming to understand that law and order will not stop them. It’s up to us.

Against the fascist forces that seek to destroy what’s left of our settler colony’s republic, the only way to stop them is by expanding grassroots democracy throughout the nation for an American Revolution of our own. We need to form democratic assemblies in every neighborhood and workplace. We must organize to defend one another from the fascist threat that seeks to divide, conquer, enslave, then exterminate us when we’re no longer needed.

From these democratic assemblies, we must coordinate a truly mass resistance. We must bring these fascists and their dictatorship to its knees by bringing the economy to a grinding halt. In order to do that, we have to learn how to take care of one another, to practice loving solidarity and mutual aid.

This is where we come in. We are The Cleveland Assembly.

On Feb. 1, after seven months of public pressure from organizers and community members, Summit County, Ohio allowed a $1 million investment in Israel Bonds to mature without reinvesting.

Israel Bonds are unrestricted loans to the Israeli Treasury. These bonds provide direct economic support for Israel’s apartheid and military infrastructure by funding the military occupation and illegal settlement expansions, as well as the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

We're in the very early stages of organizing something like this

In a move that surprises no one and helps nothing....

A woman reported from Costco April 14 that while she was inside the store, someone threw a bag of dog feces on her rental car in the parking lot. Video from inside the Tesla Cybertruck confirmed that a woman had thrown the bag from her passing car. It hit the Tesla and fell off, but the woman then drove back, exited her car, picked up the bag and threw it onto the Tesla. A dog also came out of her car at the time. The suspect was identified as a Concord Township woman and a warrant was issued for her arrest for littering and criminal mischief.

Owner is explicitly Zionist and said he won't hire anyone who looks queer.

GUYS!!! Why are there like 4 Cleveland communities, but all of them are dead??? Let's all post here, and let's all say all the Cleveland things!

And since I know controversy creates engagement, and will get you guys to post in this thread, I'll go first.

I don't like the west side market. I don't see all the hype, and quite frankly, the only perk they have that makes it slightly worth thinking about is the fact that you can easily get to it via the red line rapid. Outside of the convenience factor, I don't see what all the hype is about. And my one visit to Sokolowski's left me unimpressed!

NOW COME AT ME WITH ENGAGEMENT!!! LETS GROW THIS COMMUNITY!!!!

On January 18th, as part of a national day of action, join Autonomous Action Cleveland for a brief occupation of Coventry PEACE Park at 3 PM, to be followed by a gathering at Rhizome House at 5 PM.

Faced with a second Trump era, and in the midst of a system already indifferent to our needs, we owe it to each other to grow the connections necessary for effective action. Come demonstrate your commitment to cultivating the community we require to care for each other.

MASKS REQUIRED. COVID and other harm reduction supplies will be available at both locations.

Another pandemic casualty. They filed for bankruptcy last year.

Took my mom to vote early this morning and there was a rather massive line of people waiting to vote. It went pretty fast though all things considered. Took about an hour from start to finish. Wish I'd gottten a photo or two.
