Le collectif anti-expulsion Combattre la mécanique de l’expulsion en France dans les années 1990 https://crimethinc.com/2025/03/26/le-collectif-anti-expulsion-combattre-la-mecanique-de-lexpulsion-en-france-dans-les-annees-1990 A l’heure où Donald Trump, Elon Musk et leurs laquais s’en prennent aux sans-papiers et kidnappent des immigrés qui s’opposent au génocide, même quand ils sont porteurs de Green Card, c’est un bon moment pour étudier comment des gens se sont opposés à la violence d’état dans d’autres lieux et d’autres temps. #Français

Even if your intention is simply to negotiate, you put yourself in a weaker bargaining position by spelling out from the beginning the least it would take to appease you. No shrewd negotiator begins by making concessions. It’s smarter to appear implacable: "So you want to come to terms? Make us an offer. In the meantime, we’ll be here blocking the freeway and setting things on fire." http://crimethinc.com/demands

Ben Morea—of Up Against the Wall Motherfucker, the "street gang with an analysis" that popularized the idea of organizing in affinity groups—appeared in New York City on Thursday for the release of his memoir. The poster we made in tribute to UAWMF could be seen all around the neighborhood. https://crimethinc.com/uawmf

Our comrades at It's Going Down have published a roundup of inspiring May Day events around the county, showing all the different forms that organizing and resistance are assuming. https://itsgoingdown.org/may-day-2025-roundup/ You can read our original call for May Day organizing here, including a list of events across the world: https://crimethinc.com/MayDay2025 "The massive turn-out on May Day shows that there is growing working-class opposition to Trump’s authoritarianism as well as the neoliberalism on offer from the Democratic party. Autonomous anti-capitalist movements from below must seize the moment and build rank-and-file power and answer Trump’s attacks with self-organization, direct action, and our biggest collective weapon: solidarity."

The Occupation of the Sha’ban al-Dalou Building A Report-Back from the University of Washington https://crimethinc.com/UW2025 On May 5, demonstrators boldly occupied the engineering building to protest Boeing's complicity in genocide. In this anonymous report, participants explore their motivations and recount the events in detail. This courageous action comes as the Israeli military prepares to open a new chapter in its effort to exterminate the Palestinian population of Gaza. At the same time, millions around the United States are impatiently awaiting the emergence of tactics via which to resist the Trump administration’s efforts to consolidate power in the hands of an autocracy.

"Until America goes into political decline, there won't be an American pope." -Robert Barron, appointed by Donald Trump to the so-called "White House Commission on Religious Liberty" Only a few hours passed between this statement and the appointment of Robert Prevost as successor to Pope Francis.

We honor the courage of those who occupied the Interdisciplinary Engineering Building at the University of Washington to protest the university's ties to Boeing. As the Israeli military prepares to step up the pace of the genocide in Gaza, such solidarity actions are needed more than ever. https://crimethinc.com/Encampments2024

The gas chamber executions at the Mauthausen concentration camp went on until Hitler committed suicide on May 1, 1945. On May 5, Spanish prisoners welcomed liberation with this banner: “The Spanish antifascists salute the forces of freedom.” This is what's at stake. https://crimethinc.com/MayDayHistory

Why celebrate May Day? This year, in taking the streets, we are showing each other who is prepared to fight: "Take a stand—we'll be there, too." And every year, by coming together once more, we show that we are part of a story much greater than ourselves, a story that stretches back centuries. Life reinventing itself in defiance of death. https://crimethinc.com/MayDayHistory

Making plans for May Day? Or just looking to be inspired by the scope of the worldwide movement for liberation? Consult our list of events! It now includes well over a hundred events in nearly as many locations. https://crimethinc.com/mayday2025list See you all tomorrow! 🏴

On April 29, Atlanta officials cut the ribbon on Cop City, a $117-million police militarization facility. It cost four times the original estimate—not counting the person murdered by police and the 61 people facing trumped up RICO charges. And that's just the beginning. The real costs are still in the future: the lives and freedoms that the police who train at this facility will take from us. Under the current regime, there can be no more illusions: every dollar that goes to police is a dollar for autocracy. Like Donald Trump, the city officials who suppressed the referendum on Cop City are making no pretense of democracy anymore. At the same time, those who resisted Cop City have pointed the way to the kind of struggle it will take for us to get free. Now more than ever, it is crucial to learn from the fight to #StopCopCity. https://crimethinc.com/CopCity2025

Benito Mussolini's career of tyranny came to an end on this day in 1945. Fascism is a spectacle glorifying domination at the expense of all that is beautiful in humanity. No matter how powerful our oppressors may appear, their lust for power is not the only force at work in the world. "I await the end of the tragedy and—strangely detached from everything—I do not feel any more an actor. I feel I am the last of spectators." -Benito Mussolini, shortly before his death

At the insistence of our comrades overseas, we've begun expanding our list of May Day events to include events around the world: https://crimethinc.com/mayday2025list So far, it includes three locations in the Netherlands, five in Sweden, and more in Belgium, Denmark, Germany, and elsewhere. 🏴 🏴 🏴

The majority of them are organized by anarchists or involve anarchist contingents. 🏴🏴🏴

For years, we warned that as soon as Donald Trump consolidated control of the state, Democrats' rhetoric that "No one is above the law" would be used against them. Confronting a tyrannical regime, it's better to remember what Hannah Arendt said: “No one has the right to obey.” https://crimethinc.com/becomeananarchist "With Trump in control of the government, 'No one is above the law' is a self-defeating narrative. What happens when his lackeys in Congress pass new laws and the judges he appoints rule in his favor? Then all this rhetoric legitimizing the law as a good in itself will only strengthen Trump’s hand." "Continuing to emphasize the centrality of law in objections to Trump’s agenda can only hamstring future movements, discouraging the emergence of the only kind of resistance that could offer any hope once he has completed his takeover of the federal government."

It is urgent that we organize to confront tyranny. But *how* we organize will determine whether agency is concentrated in a few hands or distributed horizontally to all. And this will determine how effective, egalitarian, and resilient our organizing can be. https://crimethinc.com/democracy

Anarchiści na fali protestów w Indonezji https://crimethinc.com/2024/09/23/anarchisci-na-fali-protestow-w-indonezji W sierpniu 2024 r. Indonezją wstrząsnęła fala protestów, rzekomo w odpowiedzi na polityczne machinacje mające na celu namaszczenie następcy prezydenta Joko Widodo, popularnie zwanego Jokowi. W anglojęzycznym świecie pojawiło się bardzo niewiele informacji na temat tych protestów. Aby poznać głębsze aspekty tych wydarzeń, skontaktowaliśmy się z anarchistami z różnych części Indonezji. #Polski
