CrimethInc. Ex-Workers Collective

Happy birthday Louise Michel! Louise Michel was a 40-year-old schoolteacher when the Paris Commune broke out. She fought in the front lines, was sentenced to life in exile, supported an anti-colonial uprising in New Caledonia, and dedicated her life to anarchist revolution. She spent her life in struggle against misogyny, gender norms, police, imperialism, a series of different governments, and the institution of the state itself. You can read about her role in the Paris Commune here: https://crimethinc.com/arch18 and her exile in New Caledonia: https://crimethinc.com/MichelCaledonia and her role popularizing the black flag: https://crimethinc.com/TheBlackFlag 🏴

This montage of footage by Unicorn Riot shows demonstrators chasing police away from the Third Precinct, invading it, setting it on fire, and celebrating with fireworks as it burns down on the night of May 28, 2020. Pass on the history of resistance. 🏴 https://crimethinc.com/Uprising2020 Music courtesy of Breakaway (https://breakawayalive.com)

For the six-year anniversary of the burning of the Third Precinct in Minneapolis, we've prepared a zine version of "Anarchists in the Movement against Police and White Supremacy," charting the ways that anarchists contributed to uprisings against the police from the Rodney King riots of 1992 to the George Floyd Revolt in Minneapolis in 2020. https://crimethinc.com/zines/anarchists-in-the-movement-against-police-and-white-supremacy Please print these out and distribute them!

Six years ago today, in response to Minneapolis police murdering George Floyd, demonstrators drove them out of the Third Precinct and burned it to the ground—a courageous act of solidarity showing that profound social change is always within reach. How did they accomplish that? Read this account from participants: https://crimethinc.com/thirdprecinct

“To Demand Freedom”: The Hunger Strike at Delaney Hall https://crimethinc.com/DelaneyHall Resistance from within immigrant detention facilities is increasing, threatening to return ICE to the headlines despite the Trump administration's efforts to make us forget. We should gather outside Delaney Hall and other detention centers around the country to support the detainees on strike.

Once again, it turns out that "run the country like a business" means "run the country like a dictatorship." This, in turn, reveals how much despotism we take for granted in the economy. Capitalism has accustomed us to authoritarianism. Now our political institutions are catching up. https://crimethinc.com/work

"In Mr. Netanyahu’s video statement on Monday night, he said that Israeli forces had in recent weeks killed more than 600 Hezbollah militants." And this is in the midst of the supposed ceasefire. Nothing but worldwide resistance to Israeli state violence will stop the Israeli military from perpetrating a bloodbath in Lebanon just like the one they have been perpetrating in Gaza. https://crimethinc.com/LebanonHistory

The last known caterpillar that could have become a Sacramento Mountains checkerspot butterfly has died. The term for an animal that is the sole survivor of a species is endling. In a sense, we are all endlings—each the last of our kind. The loss of a species is not simply the loss of a biological category—it is the loss of countless unique individuals and their collective potential. Each of us is the bearer of a singular and unrepeatable world. This is a memento mori, a reminder to honor what is fragile and irreducible in all beings. http://crimethinc.com/endlings Toughie, the last of the Rabbs’ Fringe-Limbed Treefrogs, taught us the word endling. He passed away on September 26, 2016. May all of us still living fight to defend each other and the beauty of the world.

"By the Democrats' own account, their adversaries are rallying adherents to an explicitly anti-democratic program—and the Democrats’ only response is to attempt to use this talking point to gain an advantage in the next election." We wrote that in 2022. It goes double today. https://crimethinc.com/January6 Let's think through what that means. Donald Trump now controls the entire federal government. Mere elections will not persuade him to step down. The Democrats' "vote harder" strategy is laughable in this context. At the very least, his opponents must prepare for another January 6, under much worse conditions. Trump's decision to allocate $1.8 billion to a fund that could reward those prosecuted for the January 6, 2021 uprising suggests that he is laying the groundwork for another such attempt. Centrists have used the events of January 6 to discredit the very measures that *we* should be preparing to take.

From Charlottesville to San Diego While Trump smears anti-fascism as “terrorism,” fascists are murdering people in the streets. http://crimethinc.com/SanDiego2026 The shooting in San Diego is not just another episode of gun violence. It is part of the joint terror campaign that the Trump administration and its supporters are waging against us from both within the state and outside it.

Black flags placed at the North and South Poles by Santiago Sierra in 2015. The black flag is the symbol of the anarchist movement—the movement for a free world, a world without any form of imposed hierarchy or domination. “The anarchists are right,” Sierra said. 🏴 🏴 https://crimethinc.com/TheBlackFlag
