Things are slowly heating up. While they are still simmering, it's a good time to review skills for street protests.

University students and unions are joining French high-school students in the streets to stand up to the government that is immiserating them and the police who are attempting to suppress them.

French Youth Take the Streets against a Bleak Future Thousands of teenagers have taken the streets of France, clashing with police as they demonstrate against the deplorable conditions in their high schools and a rapidly collapsing future. Our correspondents in Paris explore the situation in detail. https://crimethinc.com/France2026 The unrest among young people in France is a promising sign, shifting attention from the seemingly unstoppable rise of the extreme right to the question of what people can do on a grassroots basis to defend themselves and assert their interests against the state and the capitalists who control it.

«Si gana Bolsonaro, nos matan; si gana Lula, nos dejan morir» Sobre las elecciones de 2026 en Brasil https://crimethinc.com/2026/09/29/si-gana-bolsonaro-nos-matan-si-gana-lula-nos-dejan-morir-sobre-las-elecciones-de-2026-en-brasil En Brasil, el tercer mandato de Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, del Partido de los Trabajadores, está llegando a su fin. Lula podría ganar un cuarto mandato si derrota al hijo del expresidente Jair Bolsonaro. Sin embargo, Flávio Bolsonaro (hijo del hombre apodado el «Trump de los Trópicos»), que intentó un golpe de Estado en 2023 sorprendentemente similar al que intentó Donald Trump en 2021, está peligrosamente cerca de ponerse en cabeza en las encuestas. Es hora de evaluar las amenazas que supondría un nuevo gobierno de Bolsonaro, así como los riesgos que persistirán o surgirán bajo un gobierno de centroizquierda que continúe en el poder. #Español

ICE arrests have soared to record highs over the few months, as ICE agents work with cops and courts to disappear people while avoiding public visibility. We urgently need new points of intervention to make this tragedy visible and take action. Here are some starting points: https://crimethinc.com/MeltICE

“Never Again”: Czechoslovakian Hardcore in the Syrian Civil War http://crimethinc.com/uzNikdy Anarchists who participated as internationalist volunteers in the fight to defend Rojava against the Islamic State describe the role that the anti-militarist song “Už Nikdy” (“Never Again”) by the Czechoslovakian hardcore band Kritická Situace played in their experience.

Apply Heat, Melt ICE: A Guide to Resisting ICE around the Country this October https://crimethinc.com/MeltICE All around the United States, people are organizing to resist the federal mercenaries who carry out Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Here, we announce three upcoming mobilizations and share reports from two recent confrontations. In Arizona, people have been blocking the construction of the border wall since July 27; they are calling for people from around the country to come join them. In the Twin Cities, people are calling for a countrywide day of action on October 3 to express solidarity with the Minnesota 15, who have been federally charged for allegedly conspiring to resist Operation Metro Surge. In Vermont, people have organized a week of action for October 4-9 and are inviting people to come participate or carry out solidarity actions elsewhere. Clashes with federal mercenaries have recently broken out in Austin, Texas and Frederick, Maryland.

Thank you to everyone who took the street in Austin on September 20 after ICE mercenaries shot Wilber Rafael Garces Perez while he was making a DoorDash delivery. It is essential to mount an immediate response to acts of violence like this, the way that people did when Alex Pretti was killed. https://crimethinc.com/alexpretti At the same time, an increasing number of ICE abductions are occurring behind closed doors, in coordination with the police and courts. However liberal the local authorities are, you can be certain that the police are working hand-in-glove with ICE. Resisting ICE necessitates resisting the police.
