To Attack or to Mourn? Police in Madison, Wisconsin murdered Corey Ruiz on July 22, 2026. In response, protesters established a weeks-long occupation.

Today marks eight years since anarchists and students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill tore down the Confederate monument Silent Sam, defying a state law prohibiting the removal of racist statues. Don't wait on the authorities to address injustice. Direct action works. https://crimethinc.com/Monuments The toppling of monuments to slavery in Durham and Chapel Hill in 2017 and 2018 was, in part, a response to the fascist "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, during which a neo-Nazi murdered Heather Heyer. Protesters in Durham and Chapel Hill demonstrated a tactic that spread widely during the George Floyd uprising of 2020, when people toppled scores of racist statues. https://crimethinc.com/StatuesDown

In January 2026, the owner of the Minneapolis café Modern Times announced that the café would suspend all prices and operate exclusively on donations, as a means of ceasing to supporting a community under siege and ceasing to pay sales tax to the government that was carrying out Operation Metro Surge. We examine the successes and shortfalls of this experiment in building alternative economic power and counteracting informal forms of racial segregation. https://crimethinc.com/postmoderntimes

As the movement against Flock cameras gathers momentum, we have reprinted a sticker attacking surveillance. https://crimethinc.com/Surveillance2026 Flock is not the only surveillance company, and cameras are not the only form of surveillance. There are many other corporations waiting to fill the role that Flock cameras are playing, and many other means by which those who aim to dominate us seek to monitor and control our activities. It is good to compel local governments to cancel Flock contracts or directly disable Flock cameras, but the movement against Flock must become a movement against all of the interlocking structures of domination or it will only function as a pressure valve as those structures tighten their grip on our lives. Put these up everywhere to identify the root of the problem. 🏴

In Lochiel, Arizona, a single ancient cottonwood tree stands in the way of the construction of Donald Trump's border wall. For two weeks, demonstrators have occupied the tree and defended it against construction crews and border patrol. http://crimethinc.com/lochiel They invite you to act in solidarity with them, whether by traveling to join them or taking action where you are located. The border is everywhere—we can attack it everywhere.

It keeps getting hotter. Forest fires are spreading, people are dying in heat waves, but the millionaires and billionaires who control most of the wealth in our society keep digging us deeper into this disaster. They are murdering the future. It's time to fight back. https://crimethinc.com/posters/mercenaries

The US Attorney’s Office in Minneapolis has charged fifteen people with “conspiracy to impede federal officers,” accusing them of defending their neighborhoods from ICE.

Raoul Vaneigem—Situationist, author, and lifelong aspiring revolutionary—has passed away at the age of 92. "Anyone who talks about revolution and class struggle without referring explicitly to everyday life—without grasping what is subversive about love and positive in the refusal of constraints—has a corpse in his mouth." —The Revolution of Everyday Life https://brooklynrail.org/2011/12/lastwords/from-the-revolution-of-everyday-life/

In testo che segue è scritto da Tomas Rothaus, che ha partecipato anche lui alle giornate di Genova. #Italiano

On July 29, 1900, the anarchist Gaetano Bresci assassinated King Umberto of Italy, punishing the king for ordering the brutal killing of hundreds of workers who were protesting rising food prices. At that time, power and wealth were concentrated in the hands of an uncaring elite. Whereas today… https://crimethinc.com/bresci

"The power of the police, as the power of the FBI, the courts, and the federal government, is rooted in violence. The fact that the violence does not always come into bloody play does not alter the fact that the power of the government is not the integrating power of love but the disintegrating power of guns and prisons." —Dave Dellinger https://crimethinc.com/posters/the-police-english

« No Way Home » : la réponse d’un ancien détenu anarchiste à Fire Ant Movement Defense https://crimethinc.com/2026/07/11/-no-way-home-la-reponse-dun-ancien-detenu-anarchiste-a-fire-ant-movement-defense En réponse au communiqué que nous avons publié de la part du Fire Ant Movement Defense, nous avons reçu cette contribution de la part d’Eric King, un anarchiste et ancien prisonnier politique qui à passé presque une décennie derrière les barreaux. #Français

This is a good time to learn about how the state uses grand juries to collect information with which to attack social movements and dissent in general. Here, you can read about how three people successfully resisted grand jury indictments. https://crimethinc.com/resistgrandjuries

What happened to the cop who murdered Carlo Giuliani? These are his words about his life today, from https://www.agi.it/cronaca/news/2021-07-19/g8-genova-mario-placanica-sprai-carlo-giuliani-prigione-infinita-13316957/ Even if you are prepared to murder for the ruling class, they will use you to protect their privileges, then throw you away. They're using you to kill because they don't value life—yours or anyone's. We can't pity this man who chose to murder a young man like himself for the benefit of his bosses. He is responsible for killing Carlo Giuliani for a paycheck, much as he might pretend to be a victim. But everyone should know that there is nothing to be gained from being a mercenary. https://crimethinc.com/CarloGiuliani

A Letter to Carlo Giuliani On the 25-Year Anniversary of the Battle of Genoa https://crimethinc.com/CarloGiuliani On July 20, 2001, at the peak of the movement against capitalist globalization, hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Genoa, Italy to oppose the summit of the world's eight most powerful governments—the G8. During the massive demonstrations that ensued, a police officer shot and killed a 23-year-old demonstrator named Carlo Giuliani. A fellow participant in the battle of Genoa addresses Carlo from across the years.

By removing the historical plaques from George Washington's house that acknowledged that Washington held enslaved people there in capitivity, the Trump administration wants to whitewash history. Here, you can read about how the people that Washington enslaved or indentured sought to escape from captivity, and about the Native Americans who defended themselves against his attacks: https://crimethinc.com/Washington

Protecting Your Neighbors by Following ICE Vehicles A Guide from the Bay Area https://crimethinc.com/ICEvehicles Over the course of the second Trump administration, people around the country have developed models for defending their communities from federal agents intent on kidnapping and terrorizing. We have shared guides from organizers in Chicago and the Twin Cities. In the same spirit, we present this guide to following Immigration and Customs Enforcement vehicles, developed in the Bay Area.

The poet Juvenal wrote that the people of ancient Rome were bribed with bread and circuses to accept the end of democracy and the establishment of the dictatorship known as the Roman Empire. The classic playbook to accustom people to autocracy is to meet their material needs while channeling their attention towards activities that substitute for self-determination. Donald Trump is trying to accomplish something more unusual: he aims to preside over the destruction of the last vestiges of the social safety net and the impoverishment of much of what remains of the middle class while buying off his support base with entertainment alone. His administration has not bolstered the economy but further destabilized it, as if intentionally rendering people more precarious, desperate, and exploitable. In return for this, we are supposed to content ourselves with watching the violent reality television gameshow of his presidency. Less bread, more circuses. https://crimethinc.com/turningtide#less-bread-more-circuses
