This video captures the confrontations between demonstrators and DHS mercenaries at the ICE facility in Portland, Oregon during the March 28 No Kings demonstrations. Demonstrators repeatedly forced open the metal gate of the ICE facility, which is guarded by federal agents who have been brutalizing Portland locals on a regular basis since mid-2025—including tear-gassing children. Local and state police moved in to protect the facility, showing their complicity with ICE. Nonetheless, the demonstrators did not back down. This is just one of a host of reports from the No Kings demonstrations. You can view all of them here: https://crimethinc.com/NoKings2026

In this collection of reports, we explore the different approaches via which anarchists around the country engaged with the March 28 No Kings demonstrations. There is tremendous anger and desire for change, but it is only just beginning to assume concrete forms. https://crimethinc.com/NoKings2026

While many people compare the Israeli occupation to apartheid, the Israeli occupation is much, much bloodier. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission confirmed about 21,000 deaths altogether in South Africa between 1948 and 1994. The death toll since 2023 in Palestine alone—a much smaller population—is several times that. While apartheid policies in South Africa imposed segregation, ethnic cleansing, and racially targeted violence, the Israeli government is intentionally pursuing genocide as state policy. And all the bloodshed up to now is not enough—today, the Israeli voted to begin hanging prisoners. Not to mention the ongoing bombardment and occupation of Lebanon. https://crimethinc.com/lebanon2026

This week, participants in the resistance to ICE in Minnesota will begin speaking tours around the United States to discuss what they learned in the process of confronting Operation Metro Surge. You can find the details about the events here: https://crimethinc.com/breakicetour Help us get the word out!

We've prepared an array of handbills for distributing at the No Kings rallies—introducing anarchism, the case for abolishing ICE, and the Prairieland case. Please print these out and distribute them! And make your own! https://crimethinc.com/NoKingsHandbills

In an interview today, former Border Patrol "Commander at Large" Gregory Bovino confirms that DHS is serious about deporting "100 million people." That's over a quarter of the US population. If you're reading this in the US, that means they intend to deport *you.* The resistance that people put up in Minnesota has forced the Trump regime to slow down, but their goal is still to establish a fascist autocracy using ICE as their shock troops—and ICE are ready. Anyone who wants to merely "reform" ICE is either complicit or grotesquely oblivious. Abolish DHS. https://crimethinc.com/escalation2026

Breaking the ICE: Lessons from the Resistance in Minnesota A Countrywide Speaking Tour https://crimethinc.com/breakicetour In April, anarchists from the Twin Cities who have participated in resisting the ICE occupation there will travel the country sharing their experiences. At each presentation, they will discuss what they have learned from building rapid response networks, explore how Minnesota thwarted Operation Metro Surge, and draw out lessons about how to defeat fascism. Three different touring groups will carry out concurrent tours covering the Midwest, the East Coast, and the West Coast, for a total of two dozen events.You can find the tour schedule here.

Sa Pag-Usab Sa Tanang Butang usa ka anarkistang pagsangpit https://crimethinc.com/tce/cebuano Ang mga trabahante nga mao ang nagahago, adunay gahom. Ang mga amo nga nagamando kung unsa ang himuon adunay awtoridad. Ang mga mangabangay nga naga amuma sa usa ka katukuran o building ang adunay gahum; ang yutaang agalon kung kinsa ang pangalan naa sa titulo ang adunay awtoridad. Ang sapa adunay gahom; ang permit para mohimo ug dam mohatag ug awtoridad. Daghang klase nga gahom nga pwede mahimong kagawasan; ang gahom para muamuma sa imong mga minahal, para pagpanalipod sa imohang kaugalingon ug pagresolba sa mga bangi. Adunay mga pamaagi sa pagpalambo sa atoang kapabilidad para makadungag ug kagawasan ingon man sa uban. Matag tawo kinsa mubuhat sa pagkab-ot sa iyahang hingpit nga potensyal mao ang nagahatag ug gasa sa tanan. Sa laing bahin, ang awtoridad labaw sa tanan, nangilog lang sa ilang gahom. Ug unsa ang gikuha nimo gikan sa ilaha, kuhaun pud sa uban gikan sa imoha. #Cebuano

Having channeled billions of dollars to ICE in order to establish his own personal gestapo, Donald Trump is now threatening to deploy ICE to airports. This is a good time to recall how we shut down airports around the country in 2017 in protest of his Muslim ban. https://crimethinc.com/airportblockades

Robert Mueller has died. During the first Trump administration, the Mueller investigation represented the centrist fantasy that the so-called Justice Department could halt the slide into fascism. In fact, the anticipated reckoning, dubbed "Mueller Time," never arrived. It really is up to us. https://crimethinc.com/muellertime "Mueller Time is the political suspended animation in which the Democrats wait for a repeatedly deferred deus ex machina to deliver them from this unbearable pres(id)ent. This waiting, itself, rather than any of the grievous injustices that have taken place during it, is the essence of hell. "Mueller Time is a way of inhabiting the eternally renewed amnesia that is America. This is the real 'deep state'—the part of each Democrat’s heart that will accept any amount of senseless violence and murder and oppression, provided it adheres to the letter of the law."

23 years ago today, the US attacked Iraq. Just as the "War on Drugs" did not abolish the drug trade, the "War on Terror" only gave rise to more terror. But perhaps the point was to destabilize the region, ensuring the US would always have enemies to justify its imperial interventions. Authoritarian regimes must create enemies that make them look good by comparison. In 2006, we speculated that the Bush administration was intentionally pursuing policies that fostered fundamentalist terrorism—a more convenient adversary than movements for liberation. https://crimethinc.com/bushcounting Today, desperately seeking to create enough turbulence to keep itself aloft, the Trump administration has returned to the strategy of intentionally destabilizing the Middle East. But the US was an unrivaled power in 2003—whereas now, it is a waning empire. The outcome many surprise everyone.

Iran between Repression, Co-optation, and War: Three Waves of Counterrevolution https://crimethinc.com/IranianCounterrevolution Somayeh Rostampour shows how the repression that the Iranian government has carried out to crush protests, the monarchist attempt to co-opt opposition movements and push them to the right, and the military assault that the US and Israel are currently carrying out against Iran are all different fronts within a single counterrevolution, reinforcing each other and combining to suppress the possibility of real liberation.

Today marks 155 years since the uprising that established the Paris Commune. Before May Day became the international day to celebrate labor struggles, workers and other rebels observed March 18, the anniversary of the beginning of the Paris Commune in 1871. https://crimethinc.com/arch18 For example, on March 18, 1877, the young Peter Kropotkin joined anarchists from all around Switzerland for a march in Bern. Kropotkin is largely remembered as a peaceable advocate of science and mutual aid, but he and his friends brought flagpoles, brass knuckles, and other weapons to defend themselves. After a lengthy street confrontation, they managed to rescue their red flag from police who tried to seize it, and proceeded to a 2000-strong meeting at which they recited speeches, sang revolutionary songs, and read out telegrams of encouragement from France and Spain. https://crimethinc.com/MayDayHistory The image is taken from Peter Watkins' experimental film, La Commune 1871: https://crimethinc.com/LaCommune1871

「歴史は繰り返されている」 パレスチナ・レバノン・イランに対する戦争を巡るレバノン人の見解 https://crimethinc.com/2026/03/11/rekishi-ha-kurikaesareteiru-palestine-lebanon-iran-ni-taisuru-sensou-wo-meguru-lebanon-jin-no-kenkai 米国とイスラエルが中東で繰り広げている戦争は、イラン（拙訳）だけに向けられているわけではない。イスラエル軍は、パレスチナ全土・ゴラン高原などシリアの一部を占領するだけでなく、現在はレバノンの一部も占領しつつある。イスラエルの空爆が上空からレバノンに絶え間なく降り注いでいる。3月に入ってから少なくとも80万人がレバノンの自宅から避難を余儀なくされている。事態を放っておけば、イスラエル政府はレバノンを居住不可能な廃墟に変えてしまうだろう――ガザに対してそうしてきたように。 #日本語
