Those who imagine that they can simply keep their heads down and wait out the Trump administration are deluding themselves. This is exactly what Russians told themselves during the rise of Vladimir Putin. Trump seeks autocratic power. He won't be satisfied with minor concessions. He will take everything he can. If you do not fight now, you will have to fight later, when he has accumulated more power and you are in a weaker position. Learn a lesson from anarchist organizing. The first compromise is the last one. https://crimethinc.com/eightsteps

ICEを止めるためにあなたができる8つのこと https://crimethinc.com/2025/02/11/icewozhi-merutamenianatagadekiru8tunokoto-1 トランプ政権は新たな収容所を建設し、第二次世界大戦中に日系米国人の強制収容を正当化するために使われた「敵性外国人法」を発動することで、大量強制送還の地固めをしている。 移民・関税執行局（ICE）の標的となった人々に連帯して立ち上がらなければ、同じ抑圧インフラがいずれ他の人々にも向けられるだろう。1人の負傷は全員の負傷なのだ！ ICEを溶かすために自分の役割を果たそう。 #日本語

Love is a quality of attention, a sensitivity to the world and everything that is possible in it. When we fight on the basis of what we love, rather than in service of ideology or cowardice, we open ourselves to serve as a channel through which everything beautiful in the world can defend itself. To choose love is to choose to keep feeling the blows when others are under attack—everyone facing felony charges, everyone threatened with deportation, everyone facing water cannons and rubber bullets, all the rivers and animals and plants that sustain us despite all the violence inflicted upon them. Love is not reducible to peace. If you mean it, say it with barricades. https://crimethinc.com/withbarricades

Depose Trump // Depose Musk Using the market to exploit us and state violence to control us, Elon Musk and Donald Trump are trying to consolidate power in the hands of a billionaire elite. They want to establish a totalitarian dystopia in which artificial intelligence does away with our livelihoods while killer robots keep us in line. By targeting undocumented people and trans people, they hope to channel anger towards those who are most vulnerable while they get away with murder. There is no point looking to the Democrats or the court system for help. The Democrats identified Trump as a fascist, then welcomed him into office. Trump already controls the highest court in the land; his lackeys dominate the legislative branch. The only thing that could stop them is widespread resistance. Get together with the people that you trust. Build networks with others who feel the way you feel. Identify weak points in the ruling order and look for ways to go on the offensive. When Trump tried to impose the Muslim ban in 2017, thousands blocked airports across the country. When millions filled the streets in 2020, Trump lost. We can’t vote out an unelected authoritarian billionaire, but we can deal with Elon Musk by cutting off his profits at the source. Start with Tesla. Demonstrate at Tesla outlets on February 15 and March 1, 2025. https://crimethinc.com/posters/depose-trump-depose-musk

People around the country are planning demonstrations at Tesla outlets on February 15, protesting the efforts of Elon Musk and Donald Trump to consolidate power in the hands of a billionaire elite. Others are already calling for follow-up demonstrations on March 1. Here's a flier you can print and hand out at those demonstrations—or anywhere else—about why this is necessary. https://crimethinc.com/posters/depose-trump-depose-musk

The Students Walk Out in Los Angeles: A Report from the Streets https://crimethinc.com/2025LosAngeles In the opening weeks of Donald Trump’s second presidency, some of the fiercest expressions of defiance have come from the communities that Trump is threatening to attack. In Los Angeles, students have engaged in weeks of walkouts and other protests against the mass deportations Trump has promised. This points the way to future resistance against every aspect of Trump's agenda.

Informes de las Fiestas de la Resistencia / Día del Defensor del Bosque https://crimethinc.com/2025/01/20/informes-de-las-fiestas-de-la-resistencia-dia-del-defensor-del-bosque El 18 de enero es el Día del Defensor de los Bosques, en honor a la vida de Manuel «Tortuguita» Terán, que fue asesinado por policías del estado de Georgia hace dos años mientras protestaba por la construcción de Cop City en Atlanta, y de todas las personasque han dado su vida en la lucha contra quienes quieren hacer inhabitable la tierra en su afán de lucro.

Aquí compartimos informes de algunos de estos eventos. #Español

En el frente es mas seguro Tomando la Iniciativa Contra la Tiranía https://crimethinc.com/2025/01/28/en-el-frente-es-mas-seguro-tomando-la-iniciativa-contra-la-tirania Ante la intensificación de la represión y la violencia estatal, existe una comprensible tendencia a buscar la seguridad evitando la confrontación. Pero ésta no siempre es la estrategia más eficaz. #Español

People have begun demonstrating at Tesla outlets against the agenda of Elon Musk and other tech billionaires who are seeking to consolidate power under Donald Trump. Some have held signs and chanted outside dealerships. Some have created disruptions inside. A Tesla dealership in Loveland, Colorado has been vandalized three times in the past three months, with red spray paint across the windshields and broken glass in the lot. Last year, in Germany, some anarchists blocked the expansion of the Tesla Gigafactory by occupying the adjacent forest; other anarchists used direct action to shut down power supply to the factory. Musk and his cronies are concentrating power power in their hands through the market as well as through the apparatus of the state. In both of those contexts, the cards are stacked against us. They hope we will remain passive as they exploit us and profit at our expense. But it is a mistake to be passive. https://crimethinc.com/TeslaGermany

We've prepared a zine version of our text "It’s Safer in the Front." Please print these out and distribute them in your community! https://crimethinc.com/zines/its-safer-in-the-front “Counterintuitive though it is, in a confusing situation, often the best—if not safest—place to be is the front lines, so you can see what is going on around you.” 🏴

The Day the Émigrés Struck Back https://crimethinc.com/MayDay2006 In 2006, students around the United States engaged in spontaneous walkouts protesting the repression of undocumented people, culminating on May Day in the first great general strike to take place in the US in the 21st century. Today, as students are once again staging walkouts and people around the country are taking to the streets against the immigration policies of the second Trump administration, it is a good time to revisit this earlier high point of resistance.

You can extinguish tear gas canisters! Wearing heat-proof gloves, submerge the canister in a wide-mouthed water jug containing baking soda, dish soap, and/or vegetable oil—3 tablespoons of each per liter of water. Cover the top with one hand, just enough to keep the gas from getting out, and shake the jug. Never seal a bottle containing an active tear gas canister—you don't want it to explode. One role you could play at demonstrations is to show up prepared to protect your fellow human beings from toxic gas, in case the mercenaries deploy it.
