Jailbreak – New Orleans, LA

Posted on by dirtysouth

May 16, 2025

Nine inmates escaped a jail in New Orleans and remain on the loose as authorities investigate whether any guards were in on the jailbreak plot.

A total of 10 inmates escaped from jail in Orleans Parish at around 1 a.m. on Friday, Sheriff Susan Hutson told reporters. One inmate was caught in the French Quarter but the other nine men remain on the run.

Officials suspect the group had help from jail staff: “We have indication that these detainees received assistance from individuals inside the department,” Hutson said.

…

Louisiana State Police located and apprehended Myles in the French Quarter, a busy tourist area in New Orleans, Sheriff Susan Hutson said during a 3:30 p.m. press conference. Authorities found the inmate underneath a parked car near the Hotel Monteleone, she said.

Local and state police are working with the FBI and United States Marshalls to find the remaining escapees.

How did the inmates escape?

Jail authorities said the group began making their escape at around 12:30 a.m. a few hours after lockdown at 10:30 p.m.

They began by pulling a “defective” sliding cell door off its tracks, according to Sheriff Hutson. At around 1 a.m. they breached a jail wall by ripping away a toilet and sink.

Security footage shows the men leave via a loading dock, scale a wall and then run across a nearby highway, she said.

Orleans Parish Chief of Corrections Jeworski Mallett said breaching the wall near the toilets would not have been possible without outside assistance.

May 2, 2025

The U.S. Department of Justice says [name] was sentenced Thursday to six years in federal prison for threatening to use explosives and destruction of an energy facility.

According to the Justice Department, beginning around June 2024, [name] targeted and attacked businesses in the Orlando area for their perceived support for Israel. Prosecutors say he smashed glass front doors of businesses during the night.

Prosecutors say he also left behind “warning letters” addressed to the president of the United States and the United States government, in which he made a series of political demands, culminating in a threat to “destroy or explode everything here in whole America. Especially the companies and factories that support the racist state of Israel.”

At the end of June, [name] broke into a solar power generation facility in Wedgefield and systematically destroyed solar panel arrays, while leaving behind two more copies of his threatening demand letter, the news release states. The attacks caused more than $450,000 in damage.

[Name] was arrested on July 11, 2024, after another letter threatening to “destroy or explode everything” was found at an industrial propane gas distribution depot in Orlando.

fuck racists

Posted on by dirtysouth

For years, the Sons of Confederate Veterans, a white supremacist group that exists to glorify slavery, organized a neo-Nazi rally in Stone Mountain Park with full state cooperation. They celebrate in a tacky and racist costume bought with the stolen riches of the Black and Indigenous peoples. White supremacists should not feel safe as long as they actively work for the destruction of our Black, Indigenous, queer safety. It is not difficult to find their emails, addresses and employers. Use the tools at your disposal (not just a useless rally) to prevent these fools from using public resources for shit. Let us completely stop their racist, xenophobic, Islamophobic, homophobic and antisemitic beliefs.

At one point on the night of April 12, a group of people interested in achieving this goal visited one, Timothy Pilgrim, who is the commander of the Georgia division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans at his house in Marietta, GA, in the 20 Old Fuller Mill Road. We painted the sayings “NO RALLY” and “NO SCV” on their house, their windows and their entrance, we poured lawn killer in his front yard, stuck glue in his front lock, and left a piece of roadkill on his welcome carpet. We knew that these cowards would quickly move to cover their humiliation, so we also take photos to share them with you. Although the quality is low, we hope that our anger can be seen clearly.

House calls have long been one of the favorite tactics of South white supremacists. They used intimidation and humiliation to bully, threaten and sometimes even kill members of the community. Well, anarchists can also make house calls. Consider this our burning cross. CANCEL THE RALLY.

Disloyalty day: a call for disruption on May 1st, 2025.

Posted on by dirtysouth

Anonymous Submission:

May 1st is known in our circles as May Day. It’s a day to honor the haymarket martyrs and the struggles of workers and anarchists around the world.

In this settler-colonial empire, every year on May 1st, the us government declares “loyalty day” a day to pledge allegiance to the sore on the face of the earth known as the USA.

This year, The regime has shifted from insidious liberal violence to open fascism, the flouting of laws that they profess to believe in, the disappearance and deportation of thousands of our friends and neighbors.

On May first, let us declare our disloyalty to the empire and our solidarity with each other through attack. Let us hold marches, parties, demonstrations. Let us sabotage the colonial regime by any means we see necessary. We will destroy what destroys us.

Flock Surveillance Camera Vandalisms – Richmond Virginia

Posted on by dirtysouth

Flock February: Reportback!

You may have read our anonymous announcement and invitation last month to map and disable some of Richmond’s 97+ FLOCK surveillance cameras.

We’re thrilled to report that according to email submissions to rrn_submissions@tutamail.com and other observations, over a dozen of these eyesores have been disabled! That’s 10% of Richmond’s devices, costing FLOCK over $26k in damages.

Also! Looks like some good neighbors have been busy logging FLOCK device locations in the open source map at https://deflock.me/. They started the month with only 16 or so mapped, and now there are over 60 marked and ready for disabling. Great work Richmond!

We also read recently that Richmond is in a two year trial period for FLOCK services, at a cost to the public of almost $400k already.

We want that contract dropped!

If FLOCK devices are often down, hard to maintain, or destroyed, they won’t be able to justify renewing this trial period after two years, let alone track us and our friends around Richmond and between cities.

So let’s keep up the pace!

Thank you to those crews already working hard to fight the latest cop invasion into our daily lives. If you still haven’t gone out, here’s a refresh from our last post on how to take these black poles apart quickly and easily, without getting caught:

Have you seen those ugly black poles with small devices and panels on top?

Those are called FLOCK cameras, and they are popping up all around Richmond and all over the country. https://www.flocksafety.com/

These cameras are license plate readers, gunshot detectors, and cameras that are being deployed to “stop crime”- in reality, they amass a huge amount of data that any law enforcement agency in the country has access to effectively surveilling our every action.

HOW TO DISABLE THEM:

Many cameras are mounted on poles which have a convenient seam around 4 foot. The poles are connected by six screws. Once the screws are loosened, the upper part of the pole containing the camera can be lifted off. This is VERY lightweight. Once separated, you can spray paint the lens, smash it, cut it from the pole and toss it in a nearby bush or garbage can, or find another creative way to disable it! They likely have tracking devices built in so disabling them on site is best.

For loosening the bolts- you will want a TT27 bit (a TT25 bit will also work). This is a “security” torx bit, and can be found in major hardware stores for affixing to a screwdriver or a socket wrench.

Tin snips work great for cutting the device cables and metal straps connecting the device to the pole, once it’s down.

If you can’t find a bit, or just CANT WAIT to begin, using a set of pliers (like the kind youd find on a leatherman multi tool) works just fine.

If you’re REALLY in a pinch, we were able to loosen one with just our fingers, though we do not recommend this method.

So! Get a buddy (minimum one to address the device, and another to look out), mask up, leave your phones, wear gloves, and get to work!

Spread the word of your work- send info to rrn_submissions@tutamail.com
using a one time use email address like yopmail.com or tempmail.ninja

SPREAD WIDELY! TELL YOUR FRIENDS!

Keep your ears to the ground…

DONT USE MOLOTOVS: Some notes on safely burning teslas (or other cars)

Posted on by dirtysouth

Seeing the wave of tesla arsons has made us incredibly happy. But we are worried to see that many of these attacks have used molotov’s

-Molotov’s aren’t guaranteed to ignite/explode. There have been many cases where police have recovered intact molotov cocktails from attacks. that is a shitton of forensic evidence that detectives WILL exploit.
-Even if the bottle does shatter, the shards of glass still likely contain tons of valuable forensic evidence
-Molotov’s are loud and immediately create a big flame, all of which kills the element of surprise needed for arson attacks, which runs the risk of you getting captured or the fire gets extinguished much quicker

ALTERNATIVES: Fire starter cubes, sometimes paired with liquid accelerate in plastic bottles

Fire starter cubes are probably the best way to burn a car.
-they are guaranteed to self destruct
-they are discreet. By the time the vehicle has been engulfed in flames you will have had ample time to escape
-they are widely available, small, lightweight, and incredibly simple to use

Instructions:
We haven’t tested if a singular small cube is sufficient, but we recommend using at least a pack/bundle of them per vehicle. Placing them on top of a front tire is the best for both electric and gas vehicles. Placing them under the vehicle next to the tire could also be a good option as the flame is even more hidden, but we haven’t tested it ( if you do it this way it would probably be smart to also incorporate a plastic bottle of accelerate to ensure the flames are high and and strong enough)

Whatever design you use, you must test it beforehand and guarantee that every part of the device will be destroyed in a timely manner.

Don’t smash windows if you’re going to burn something because it is loud and increases the risk of leaving dna. Be careful not to touch anything at the scene of the crime

Exercise abundant caution obtaining and handling materials. The no trace project (notrace.how) has great resources for avoiding surveillance and mitigating forensic evidence.

Stay anonymous, get home safe, and go torch the ever loving shit out of every part of this miserable society.

Four Construction Vehicles Burned at Data Center in Georgia

Posted on by dirtysouth

Anonymous Submission:

At the end of March, some entered the construction site of the data center hypercampus east of Atlanta, Georgia and burned 4 construction vehicles. This was done to oppose data centers that quickly exhaust the limited water supply of the region. This is another example of the country’s tendencies to externalize the costs of their relentless wealth hoarding to southeastern United States. They have chosen the south as an area of ​​sacifice, that is, a place to deposit the most unpleasant industries and their waste. For them, our home is barely available within such parameters, as it can still be used as a landfill. Thus, the people who acted insist that those who try to steal our water, air and land must at least endure loss and embarrassment on their way to hell.

This specific data center has aimed at facilitating AI connection for local companies. AI not only use more water than other computer processes, but is quickly becoming a way for the state to increase its intrusion in our personal life. And more and more are used by police and state forces to monitor those who oppose them. The people who burned these machines do not believe that our thoughts and movements should be used for profit or incarceration.

If you are interested in taking similar steps against such opponents, there are many opportunities. Atlanta Region is one of the locations with the highest activity of the data center developers, but they appear across the country. Companies owned by these centers often are not based in regions in which construction happens. No matter where you are, you are likely to be able to identify a project, facility or corporate office associated with data centers. There are many opportunities to take action. Some neighbors in Atlanta were successful with traditional organizing approaches. However, when politicians inevitably sell you out, we hope that this action reminds you of alternatives.

Here are some tips that may guide you to identify potential targets. Driving in search of construction sites can produce good results. Notifications of public hearings for rezoning and new constructions can also be helpful. Comparing the logos and the name of the corporation on signs outside the construction via Tor Browser on Tails will also help narrow it down. Check that your research is done safely on tails before acting; there are many methods and techniques that others have developed to limit the state’s ability to stop you.

The Dirty South is a counter-info site that focuses on anti-colonial and anti-authoritarian action in the geographic southeast of the so-called U.S. In service of this, we accept and repost communiques, reportbacks, analysis, research, calls to action, art, events, and publications, as well as mainstream news articles about unclaimed attacks.

Who is this resource for?

This resource is for those interested in rupturing the settler-colonial project—those fighting it, those seeking inspiration, and those craving to learn and share new ways of struggle. We especially want to provide a platform for struggles in the geographic southeast of turtle island—the region that carries the historical baggage of the “South”. This area roughly refers to occupied lands south of the appalachian foothills of so-called northern kentucky, west of the so-called atlantic ocean, east of the so-called mississippi river, north of the so-called gulf (so-called florida and louisiana) and so-called texas.

Why we think this is worthwhile:

The counter-info site Scenes from the Atlanta Forest, which published actions, educational resources, discourse, and calls to action relating to the struggle against Cop City in so-called atlanta from 2021-2024, was an important resource for our region (and for the anarchist movement more broadly). The decision of the Scenes admins to end the project this past November left anarchist and anti-authoritarian militants without a regionally-specific platform to anonymously share communiques and other information. We feel called to step up and fill this role.

The “South” often has the reputation of being a particularly reactionary, fascistic, and hostile place. But the brutality of this region has always been always been matched by the fierceness of those fighting against the social order from below. We seek to ground contemporary insurrectionary struggles in legacies of Black and Indigenous resistance and attack: the countless wars fought by Indigenous peoples against colonial expansion; the maroon communities which provided avenues of escape, survival, attack, and revenge against the plantation system; the slave rebellions that brought to life the darkest nightmares of the slaveholding class; the labor strikes and class warfare carried out by the most downtrodden workers; the riots and liberatory struggles of the sixties; and more recent prison riots and uprisings against the carceral system. An unbroken lineage of resistance carries us into the present moment and our struggle to stem the tide of fascism, and to thwart the intensifying efforts of the forces of domination to stamp out any possiblity of a free life.

In solidarity,

Dirty South Admins
