After over 17 years of imprisonment for taking direct action to defend the ecosystems that all our lives depend on, environmental activist Marius Mason has finally been released from captivity. Thank you for everything, Marius. For years, the FBI targeted ecological activists as their #1 priority, persecuting activists like Marius Mason while ignoring white supremacists. This is one of the chief reasons environmental devastation has continued unchecked.

Ben Morea in Exarchia A Eulogy and Paean to Freedom https://crimethinc.com/BenMoreaExarchia Ben Morea has passed away. Known for his participation in Up Against the Wall Motherfucker, the self-styled “street gang with an analysis” active in the Lower East Side of Manhattan in the late 1960s, he withdrew from the city and pursued a path into revolutionary animism. In this visionary eulogy, Tasos Sagris of Void Network recounts Ben’s subsequent visit to Exarchia, the Athenian neighborhood famed as a hotbed of anarchism. Today, the Exarchia that Tasos describes has also changed. To mourn a single person is to mourn an entire vanished world. Yet, as Tasos explores, there is a silver thread that connects Ben’s life and the legacy of Exarchia to our own present and possible future. 🏴

On Mother's Day, we mourn Marie Ange Blaise, Renee Nicole Good, and all the other mothers who are no longer with us as a consequence of the cruelty and violence of ICE and Border Patrol. Let's organize rapid response networks to defend our communities: https://crimethinc.com/MNRapidResponse

A year ago, in solidarity with Palestinians, protesters courageously occupied the engineering building at the University of Washington, which is funded by war profiteers Boeing. Anarchists defended them with a black bloc and burning barricades. This is the energy we need. https://crimethinc.com/UW2025

Today is "Victory" day in Russia—the day that Vladimir Putin attempts to appropriate the Soviet victory over Hitler to legitimize his own despotic rule. Putin has now been fighting Ukraine longer than the USSR fought the Nazis, and it's going much worse for him, despite Donald Trump's efforts to shift the balance of power in his favor. Putin has systematically cracked down on dissent, torturing and imprisoning anarchists, feminists, and anti-war protesters. Putin's regime is one of the most repressive in the entire world. Hundreds of thousands of Russians and Ukrainians would still be alive if not for Putin's senseless invasion of Ukraine. Those who make excuses for Putin are despicable enemies of freedom. We support Russian anarchists, feminists, and anti-war protesters. May every empire fall—and the empires of Trump and Putin soon! https://crimethinc.com/tags/russia

Despicable racist murderer Kyle Rittenhouse, best known for murdering two people and shooting a third in 2020 because they protested against police murdering Black and brown people, is in the hospital, having been bitten by a Brown Recluse. This guide shows how you can make giant spiders for parades. https://crimethinc.com/spiders

Why does the Trump regime specifically identify "anarchists and anti-fascists" as one of the "three major types of terror groups" in their 2026 "Counterterrorism Strategy"? Because they know there is no greater threat to tyranny than autonomous, decentralized, horizontally-organized direct action. They are doing everything that they can to eliminate existing anarchist networks and models. We already see this in the Stop Cop City and Prairieland cases. But if you educate yourself in horizontal organizing and direct action strategies, they can't stop us all. The Trump regime and other aspiring despots want to be the ones who tell you what anarchism is. Don't take their word for it. Learn about anarchism for yourself. The best parts of your life are already the most anarchistic—the egalitarian relationships and spaces of freedom. 🏴🏴🏴 https://crimethinc.com/tce

Spanish antifascist prisoners celebrate their liberation from the Nazi death camp at Mauthausen with a banner reading “The Spanish antifascists salute the liberating forces” on May 5, 1945. Among them is the anarchist Antonio García Barón, who fought in the Durruti Column during the Spanish Civil War. The stakes are just as high today. https://crimethinc.com/maydayhistory

You who no longer dance in the street Who have given up on winning But not yet on giving in; Have you made your peace with war? Did they bribe you to betray Your scorn for bribery and betrayal? Would you seek accommodation With the ones who broke your heart And trade the bitterness of struggle For the sour grapes of defeat? https://crimethinc.com/books/expect-resistance

On May Day, anarchists in Portland participated in two black blocs, adding a confrontational edge to public protests. As rage against the economy and the government spreads alongside desperation and despair, it's up to us to create opportunities for collective action. https://crimethinc.com/PortlandMayDay2026

A happy May Day to all. Anarchists march with banners in Portland and Greece; anarchists set fires in the streets in Bandung, Indonesia; anarchists confront the police in Chile. The fight continues for a world free of all forms of oppression. 🏴🏴🏴 https://crimethinc.com/WhatWeWant2026

Чего мы хотим на Первое Мая? Сегодня 1 мая, день солидарности и борьбы наёмных работников против начальников и против власти. Особый день для анархистов по всему миру. В этот день хочется процитировать слова американского коллектива CrimethInc (перевод наш):

"Чего мы хотим на Первое Мая? Если кратко, то сделать еще один шаг к свободе от всех форм угнетения — к тому, что мы называем "анархией". Под этим мы подразумеваем эгалитарные отношения, основанные на самоопределении, солидарности и взаимопомощи. Первого Мая анархисты всегда были в первых рядах, начиная с 1886 года, когда появился этот праздник труда. Тогда полиция Чикаго попыталась подавить рабочих организаторов-анархистов, которые боролись за право на восьмичасовой рабочий день. Сегодня, когда усиливающийся авторитаризм побуждает к действию всё больше и больше людей, у нас есть окно возможностей для реальных изменений."

Обязательно почитайте брошюру CrimethInc "Изменить всё" и посмотрите видео. Там вы найдёте краткие ответы на все главные вопросы  о том, чего же хотят анархисты. Поддержать работу Автономного Действия #переводы_автонома #1мая #crimethinc

“To be GOVERNED is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. "To be GOVERNED is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, admonished, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility and in the name of the general interest, to be drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonored. That is government; that is its justice; that is its morality.” ― Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

After Congress voted to fund parts of the Department of Homeland Security without funding ICE, CNN is reporting that [House Speaker Mike] "Johnson and his GOP have effectively lost their ability to govern.” Good. The less they can govern us, the better. ICE is just the tip of the iceberg.
