Imprisoned Black gay anarchist Michael Kimble issued a statement with specific updates and action items to support those fighting at Ventress Correctional Facility:
On February 8th, 2026 Prisoners in the State of Alabama are doing it again! The Free Alabama Movement [FAM] made the call for prisoners to shut this shit down and prisoners throughout the state is answering this call to action on February 8th by refusing to participate in their own exploitation and oppression. There will be no work [slave labor].
The demands from prisoners at the prison I’m being held captive in [Ventress Correctional Facility] are:
Total abolition of prisons, elimination of LWOP sentences [life without possibility of parole] and the death penalty.
We refuse to continue playing a part in our own slavery, exploitation and oppression by withholding our labor power. Join us by being creative and fighting to abolish prisons. Some suggestions for those out in minimum kustody [so-called free-world]:
Banner drops
Agitation and education
Hold a screening of the documentary “The Alabama Solution”
Graffiti
Write a prisoner
Direct action
The state of Alabama Department of Corrections has already begun to attempt to derail the work strike by weaponizing food and limiting the amount of food prisoners can purchase from the commissary, and bird feeding us.
This morning we were served a small portion of soupy oatmeal, one slice of bread and a spoonful of jelly, and a spoonful of gravy. For lunch we were served one fish patty, one slice of bread, a spoonful of English peas.
We also suggest that you call and demand that we be given full, nutritious meals.

Sample Script: “Hello, I am calling out of concern that over the past week, Ventress Correctional Facility has been weaponizing food by reducing what is included with each meal, as well as limiting food that can be bought at commissary. We demand that they be given full, nutritious meals at all times, and full access to commissary.”

DCFL BHM01, marketed as the Birmingham AI Factory, is a planned 300-megawatt data center to be operated by Nebius Group N.V. of Amsterdam on the site of the former Regions Lakeshore Operations Center at 201 Milan Parkway in the Oxmoor Corporate Park in Birmingham’s Oxmoor neighborhood.
Nebius acquired the former bank operations center and adjoining parcels totaling 75 acres for $90 million in 2025. Hoar Construction was awarded the contract for initial construction, which is expected to be completed in 2028. A demolition permit for the existing building was awarded in January 2026.
The company negotiated with Alabama Power Company for its electrical needs, and is constructing a power substation on site. The facility is designed to operate with a closed-loop cooling system, which would use significantly less water than the former banking center.
Nebius has projected that its operation would employ about 100 people, and would “generate $80 million annually for Birmingham City and Jefferson County Schools.” It also plans to offer its “TripleTen” online career training program to local grade schools. It has applied for sales and use tax abatement incentives from the Birmingham Industrial Development Board.

A Birmingham man arrested in connection with a fire that caused over $130,000 in damages at a Homewood Walmart was granted bond by a judge and later bonded out of jail.
40-year-old [name] is charged with first-degree arson and first-degree criminal mischief. He faced a judge on Wednesday, before bonding out of the Jefferson County Jail just before 2:00 a.m. Thursday morning.
The incident happened on August 22 when Homewood police and fire departments responded to a fire call at the store on Lakeshore Parkway.
Police say [name] was seen at a protest over the death of 18-year-old Jabari Peoples, who was shot by a Homewood police officer. Multiple people were arrested at that protest.
[Name] reportedly left the protest and went to the Walmart on Lakeshore Parkway, where he filled up a shopping cart with rags, blankets, charcoal bags, small engine fuel, and paint thinner. He then left the cart in a clothing aisle before returning to the protest.
When the protest moved to downtown Homewood, police say [name] left again, returned to the Walmart and set the cart on fire.

The following dossier contains descriptions of all Joint Munitions Command production, storage, and distribution facilities from the McAlester Army Ammunition Plant to the east coast. It does not include dedicated JMC demilitarization facilities.
Each document is a guide to the facility location, its purpose, its function and known links within military and civilian arms manufacture, and its connection to this wider network via military-designated strategic rail (STRACNET). These facilities are not wholly dependent on rail for shipping, but the nature of the military equipment they produce guarantees that much of it must move by rail between manufacturing locations and to east coast ports for transport to Israel or supporting US installations and vessels in the region.
These facilities covered here are, from west to east:
McAlester Army Ammunition Plant, McAlester, Oklahoma
Iowa Army Ammunition Plant, Middletown, Iowa
Lake City Army Ammunition Plant, Independence, Missouri
Pine Bluff Arsenal, Pine Bluff, Arkansas
Quad City Cartridge Case Facility/Rock Island Arsenal, Rock Island, Illinois
Crane Army Ammunition Activity, Crane, Indiana
Anniston Munitions Center, Anniston, Alabama
Holston Army Ammunition Plant, Kingsport, Tennessee
Blue Grass Army Depot, Richmond, Kentucky
Radford Army Ammunition Plant, Radford, Virginia
Letterkenny Munitions Center, Chambersburg, Pennsylvania
Scranton Army Ammunition Plant, Scranton, Pennsylvania
The information found on crypt-pads here have been uploaded below
Our initial focus on the eastern sections of this network is motivated by reporting on specific chains of munitions production involving these plants, as well as their proximity to the east coast ports. If your region is not covered in this breakdown, don’t worry, the work awaits for you as well. Many civilian arms manufacturers, as well as Air Force plants, are also served by STRACNET. Unredacted state by state maps are publicly available at https://www. sddc. army. mil/sites/TEA/Functions/SpecialAssistant/Pages/RailroadsNationalDefense .aspx with many fascinating locations marked. You, too, can see where tracks cross rivers and go through tunnels in satellite images. Our – and your – centralized knowledge base of this fragile infrastructure network will only continue to grow.
We enclose as well our perspective on methods for targeted rail disruption.
This is only the beginning.
