Days before the Brazilian elections, people barricaded the roads of downtown Belo Horizonte to demonstrate against evictions and gentrification.

Regardless of electoral outcomes, we will only win what we build the power to defend.

The White Whale: A Tale of Toil and Freedom

A punk band traveling the world in a free van held together only by duct tape and distortion? It sounds like a whale of a tale, but everything you’re about to read is true times two.

https://crimethinc.com/vanzine

How do punks manage to travel internationally, fight the forces of authority, and dedicate their lives to making art without being independently wealthy? In this testimony, two participants in the punk underground describe how they wrested a vehicle from the economy and kept it running through a series of trials and tribulations.

15 people have been federally indicted for allegedly playing a role in the Twin Cities' historic resistance to ICE. The Trump regime is trying to make an example of them to intimidate all of us out of standing up to protect our communities. It won't work!

On Saturday, October 3, the Minnesota 15 Anti-Repression Committee is calling for a national day of solidarity actions to express support for the defendants and all those targeted by ICE. Plan an action at your local ICE office or federal building!

DEFEND THE MINNESOTA 15

Abolish ICE!
Return the abducted and deported!
Drop the charges!

The purpose of Flock and other surveillance systems is to enable a police state to monitor the population at large and use violent force against people whenever they engage in activity that could change the balance of power in society.

That much was already obvious. But it's still chilling to hear Flock's director of market management describing the details.

Repression and Resistance in Russia: An Overview

https://crimethinc.com/Russia2026

Across three decades, Russia has been at the forefront of the worldwide descent into authoritarianism. Vladimir Putin’s government has suppressed opposition in ways that aspiring autocrats like Donald Trump are still striving to emulate. Yet despite widespread repression, there is still resistance in Russia, and as Putin’s model proliferates, people everywhere around the world stand to benefit from learning about it.

Likewise, we should support Russian anarchist and anti-war prisoners, both because resistance within Russia offers hope for the eventual end of war and totalitarianism and because, should autocrats consolidate power where we live, we will wish for people to support us, as well.

The US government has designated the Italian collective Autistici/Inventati, which produces the infrastructure of NoBlogs.org, a "Specially Designated Global Terrorist," freezing their assets and prohibiting all transactions with them——citing their "far-left" politics and the fact that they have provided services to "anti-fascist" groups for justification.

Autistici/Inventati is an activist-oriented tech project that offers encrypted communications tools, email, web hosting, secure chat, and video conferencing platforms for users who prefer to stay off corporate grids.

This is what the US government is shutting down as "terrorism."

The US Attorney’s Office in Minneapolis has charged fifteen people with “conspiracy to impede federal officers,” accusing them of defending their neighborhoods from ICE.

Working with anarchist artist NO BONZO, we've made a support poster to inform people about the case. Please print these out and post them everywhere!

This prosecution is a part of NSPM-7, the Trump administration’s initiative to turn the War on Terror against “antifa”—which is to say, against anyone who opposes fascism. The goal of these charges is to intimidate people out of standing up for each other. Make no mistake, this prosecution is directed at all who do not welcome authoritarianism. If it succeeds, they will repeat this strategy again, targeting more and more people.

In the face of fascist violence, the only route to safety is collective organizing. Solidarity is self-preservation. The harder it is for them to capture today’s targets, the longer it will take them to target the rest of us.

Today, ICE is working with police and courts to deport people—but the problem has always been the whole structure. ICE, police, and courts comprise a single integrated machinery of violence.

"The power of the police, as the power of the FBI, the courts, and the federal government, is rooted in violence. The fact that the violence does not always come into bloody play does not alter the fact that the power of the government is not the integrating power of love but the disintegrating power of guns and prisons."

A Letter to Carlo Giuliani

On the 25-Year Anniversary of the Battle of Genoa

https://crimethinc.com/CarloGiuliani

On July 20, 2001, at the peak of the movement against capitalist globalization, hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Genoa, Italy to oppose the summit of the world's eight most powerful governments—the G8. During the massive demonstrations that ensued, a police officer shot and killed a 23-year-old demonstrator named Carlo Giuliani.

A fellow participant in the battle of Genoa addresses Carlo from across the years.

The poet Juvenal wrote that the people of ancient Rome were bribed with bread and circuses to accept the end of democracy and the establishment of the dictatorship known as the Roman Empire. The tried-and-true playbook to accustom people to autocracy is to meet their material needs while channeling their attention towards activities that substitute for self-determination.

Donald Trump is trying to accomplish something more unusual: he aims to preside over the destruction of the last vestiges of the social safety net and the impoverishment of the middle class while buying off his support base with entertainment alone.

His administration has not bolstered the economy but further destabilized it, as if intentionally rendering people more precarious, desperate, and exploitable. In return for this, we are supposed to content ourselves with watching the violent reality television gameshow of his presidency.

Less bread, more circuses.

The storming of the Bastille on this day in 1789 was essentially an anti-prison riot that won, spelling eventual doom for all monarchies.

When we topple the current ruling class and abolish borders, prisons, and police, people will celebrate for hundreds of years, too.

If a foreign army invaded this land, cut down the trees, poisoned the rivers, and forced children to grow up pledging allegiance to them, who wouldn’t take up arms against them? But when local executives and politicians do the same, patriots readily render their obedience, tax dollars, and children.

Those who are blinded by patriotism will even die to do to others what they would never wish anyone to do to them.

We are celebrating the 57th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising by printing and mailing out copies of the zine version of Gays, Crazies, and Motherfuckers, our historical investigation of the overlooked role of anarchists in the Stonewall riots, the Gay Liberation Front, and the movements they inspired.

The sentences doled out in the Prairieland case today are horrific.

Des was sentenced to 30 years in prison for moving a box of zines.

There is no pretense of "justice" here. The judge said, “the state wants to send a message to anyone who shares a similar ideology.”

https://crimethinc.com/prairieland

The Prairieland defendants will appeal their convictions, but the entire court system is rotten—especially in Texas. We must completely discredit the tyranny of ICE and Donald Trump, creating a situation in which anyone who succeeds Trump is compelled to pardon those who suffered under Trump.

This is a journalist from 60 minutes describing the lengths they went to in order to present Twin Cities protesters as violent. Nonetheless, CBS editor-in-chief Bari Weiss said the coverage didn't make the protesters look violent enough.

Note the double standard: "violence" for ICE is murdering people, "violence" for protesters is raising their voices.

The truth is that in any corporate media coverage of law enforcement, anything short of servile compliance will be framed as "violence." That's why we have to demystify the language of "violence" itself, rather than insisting on "non-violence." The latter will only result in more and more activities being designated "violent."

In 2025, Tesla gave Elon Musk a $132,298,849,867 paycheck for being CEO.

In Malaysia, a Tesla salesperson starts at less than $10,000 a year.

Does Elon Musk work 13,229,885 times harder?

A system that gives one person 13,229,885 times more power than another is arguably worse than monarchy.

Abolish capitalism.

Inside the Clashes at Delaney Hall Detention Center

A Timeline from a Mutual Aid Volunteer

https://crimethinc.com/DelaneyClashes

A participant in long-running mutual aid efforts at Delaney Hall Detention Center describes how the clashes with federal, state, and local authorities unfolded during the hunger strike within the facility, offering a blow-by-blow account of ten days of resistance.

A banner dropped in Chicago on June 2, reading “Open the cages, free them all”—connecting Chicago’s Broadview detention facility to the hunger strike and protests at Delaney Hall Detention Center in Newark, New Jersey.

Keep up the pressure.

The hunger strike that detainees at Delaney Hall Detention Center are maintaining despite violent repression from ICE is only one of several hunger strikes taking place in detention centers around the country.

Do you live near one of them? If you do, you could help spread resistance on the outside.
