French Youth Take the Streets against a Bleak Future

Thousands of teenagers have taken the streets of France, clashing with police as they demonstrate against the deplorable conditions in their high schools and a rapidly collapsing future.

Our correspondents in Paris explore the situation in detail.

The unrest among young people in France is a promising sign, shifting attention from the seemingly unstoppable rise of the extreme right to the question of what people can do on a grassroots basis to defend themselves and assert their interests against the state and the capitalists who control it.

2026-09-25T17:56:43Z

ICE arrests have soared to record highs over the few months, as ICE agents work with cops and courts to disappear people while avoiding public visibility.

If it was urgent to respond to ICE when Trump reentered office—if it was urgent to respond to ICE when they were murdering people on the streets in Minnesota—it is even more urgent today, when they are arresting record numbers of people.

Anyone can be defined as a criminal by the flick of a pen. These brutal roundups set a precedent that threatens us all.

We need new points of intervention to make this tragedy visible and take action.

The hardcore journal Inside Front was one of the first projects to bring together people who still collaborate on CrimethInc. projects today. No new issue has appeared since 2003.

As soon as the attacks occurred on September 11, 2001, we designed this poster and began circulating it.

We knew the attacks on the United States didn't come out of nowhere.

And as the patriots waved their flags, we knew that it wouldn't be long before there were hundreds of thousands more dead.

Although the wars that followed September 11, 2001 did eventually put Saddam Hussein out of a job—enabling the Islamic State to emerge in his wake—the fact that the Taliban remain in power today underscores the senselessness of the US response.

Compared to the policies of the US government, our statement from September 2001 has aged well.

The chief beneficiaries of the "War on Terror" have been the military-industrial complex and the security industry, both of which are transforming the US into an occupied territory controlled by counterinsurgency strategy.

The war has come home. In 2026, as in 2001, we continue to resist it.

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 reigning social order is extremely precarious. It is impossible to maintain such intense disparities in wealth and power without continuous surveillance and repression. That is why Flock cameras and related technologies have become ubiquitous.

To fight surveillance is to resist tyranny. But the only way to put an end to invasive surveillance technologies is to topple the social order that requires them.

2026-09-07T18:12:44Z

It is demeaning to be forced to sell away our time and creativity rather than being free to do things that are intrinsically meaningful.

On the scale of the planet, the name for this problem is capitalism. From the vantage point of the individual, the name for it is work.

https://crimethinc.com/antiwork

The social order that forces you to sell your time and labor to the highest bidder is squandering your potential, the same way it is grinding cows into hamburger and reducing rainforests to junk mail for the benefit of a few billionaires. Another century like this and our species will be done for.

Your personal struggle to resist work is a microcosm of our species’ struggle to escape the global feedback loop that is propelling us into oppression, war, and ecological catastrophe.

You deserve the freedom to make the most of your potential as you see fit, to live the life of your choosing rather than toiling so that others may profit.

Abolish work.

2026-09-06T21:24:37Z

The tech collective behind NoBlogs.org and a host of other free online initiatives has announced that they are shutting down as a consequence of the US State Department designating them a "global terrorist."

This represents a significant blow to online freedom. It is not just a threat to anarchists or volunteer-run tech collectives; the Trump administration aims to shut down any institution or project that it perceives to stand in the way of its pursuit of totalitarian control.

We must fight them every inch of the way.

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.

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."

Today marks eight years since anarchists and students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill tore down the Confederate monument Silent Sam, defying a state law prohibiting the removal of racist statues.

Don't wait on the authorities to address injustice. Direct action works.

https://crimethinc.com/Monuments

The toppling of monuments to slavery in Durham and Chapel Hill in 2017 and 2018 was, in part, a response to the fascist "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, during which a neo-Nazi murdered Heather Heyer.

Protesters in Durham and Chapel Hill demonstrated a tactic that spread widely during the George Floyd uprising of 2020, when people toppled scores of racist statues.

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.

Even if you are prepared to murder for the ruling class, they will use you to protect their privileges, then throw you away. They're using you to kill because they don't value life—yours or anyone's.

We can't pity this man who chose to murder a young man like himself for the benefit of his bosses. He is responsible for killing Carlo Giuliani for a paycheck, much as he might pretend to be a victim. He is still telling the story with himself at the center, creating a false equivalency between himself and the one he killed.

But everyone should know that there is nothing to be gained from being a mercenary.

Joan Sebastian Guerrero was murdered by an ICE agent on July 13, 2026, in Biddeford, Maine, during a vehicle stop.

Jesus Manuel Arenas-Silva died on July 13 while being transferred between detention facilities in Georgia. Apparently, ICE agents intentionally denied him access to life-saving medication he depended on.

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.

If you are an anarchist, socialist, or even a moderate Democrat and you still have an account on X/Twitter—or have money invested in any of Elon Musk's companies—you are providing legitimacy and resources to a Sieg-Heiling white supremacist who is openly signaling that he intends to kill you.

The language about killing "race traitors" specifically by hanging them comes directly from explicitly neo-Nazi sources including The Turner Diaries and Ben Klassen, who first popularized the term "Racial Holy War."

If this is what Elon Musk says in public, we can imagine what he is saying—and doing—and planning—in secret.

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.

2026-06-16T17:26:07Z

Today, the US Attorney's Office in Minneapolis and Homeland Security Investigations announced "Antifa" charges against accused anti-ICE protesters. In short, after ICE murdered people in the streets, they want to pretend that those who stood up to ICE represent the real threat to the public.

Having failed to overcome the united community response to Operation Metro Surge, Trump's toadies are now attempting to divide and conquer—purporting to support the right to protest while targeting those they designate "Antifa" protesters.

The 15 people charged are alleged to be participants in Black Cat Workers Collective and Direct Action Minnesota.

The goal of these charges is to intimidate people out of standing up for each other when federal agents descend on a community to do violence to it. Make no mistake, this prosecution is directed at all who do not welcome authoritarianism. If it succeeds, they will repeat the strategy again, targeting more people.

Across more than a decade of unfinished revolution and civil war in Syria, Syrian activists in exile participated in organizing in other parts of the world. At last, at the end of 2024, the regime of Bashar al-Assad fell, enabling them to begin to return home.

In the following interview, participants in the Syria group within the Peoples Want discuss the situation they confront in Syria today and describe how they will participate in the Mujawara campaign, a month of events intended to interweave horizontal organizing initiatives around the world.

Never let anyone talk you out of fighting back. Facing fascism, it's the only thing that works.

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

Because of the Stonewall uprising in 1969.

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.

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.

Trump has been rushed out of the White House correspondents’ dinner after reports of gunfire nearby.

Regardless of what really happened in Washington, DC tonight, the Trump administration will attempt to use this to call for more repression. Remember: anything you hear from anyone in the entire administration is likely a lie. That goes double for Kash Patel's FBI.

This is not the first time we have seen the Trump regime employ this tactic. They promote the gun industry, and then every time there is a shooting in their vicinity, they try to use it to seize control the way the Nazis used the Reichstag fire. Some Trump supporters have made this strategy explicit in precisely those words.

It's nice to see Viktor Orbán lose an election, despite support from Trump and Putin.

But until we address the extreme disparities in wealth and power that enabled nationalists to gain popularity, no mere election will suffice to stop fascism.

https://crimethinc.com/soundandfury

The outcome of the mid-term elections will be determined by what happens in the months ahead—not by how successfully politicians campaign, but rather by the extent to which grassroots resistance makes it impossible for the ruling class to imagine that Trump could continue to advance their interests.

In the long run, only profound social change can put an end to the cycle that has driven the growth of the far right. We must lay bare the connections between fascists, billionaires, militarists, Zionists and Christian nationalists, cryptocurrency hucksters, tech moguls, federal agencies like ICE and the police and sheriffs that abet them, and the centrists and Democrats who paved the way for the tragedies of the second Trump era by suppressing grassroots resistance at the conclusion of the first.

Ultimately, we must show how to defeat their program, not just vote against it.

Whatever happens in the Hungarian elections this weekend, it's important to understand that Hungarian democracy has served to concentrate autocratic power in Viktor Orbán's hands for decades. Even if Orbán concedes power without a fight, the system itself is the problem.

Reigning governments always establish procedures that tend to reinforce their control. Coupled with the extreme concentration of wealth, this inevitably trends towards autocracy. We need a better analysis of the ways that representative democracy exists on the same spectrum with authoritarianism and can function to legitimize it.

Real change will only come from grassroots action, on a horizontal and decentralized basis.

The Pakistani Prime Minister announced that the US, Iran, and their respective allies “agreed to an immediate ceasefire including Lebanon.” Without speaking directly with Iran, Trump promoted this as an offramp from the war.

Today, the Israeli military continues attacking Lebanon; in response, Iran continues to close the Strait of Hormuz.

It's hard to imagine a worse outcome for Trump. He has achieved none of his express objectives in Iran, neither regime change nor suppressing Iran's nuclear program.

He can no longer pretend to be a credible negotiating partner. Both his threat to target civilian infrastructure and his claim to have negotiated a ceasefire have been discredited. Neither the Iranian nor Israeli governments listen to him. He's forced into conflict with Netanyahu.

During the first Trump administration, the Mueller investigation represented the centrist fantasy that the so-called Justice Department could halt the slide into fascism.

It is not a scale of time, like geologic time, or a time zone, like Eastern Standard Time—Mueller Time is more like the End Times, perpetually anticipated.

"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."

On March 1, demonstrators converged on the Federal Building outside the Twin Cities, temporarily blockading ICE inside it.

On one side of the building, fifty people established a shield wall. Sheriffs attacked immediately, but they held their ground for almost an hour.

At least 400 people marched on the other side of the federal building to demand that ICE withdraw from Minnesota and return the land that Fort Snelling occupies to the Dakota people. Many Native people participated in the march, including members of the Dakota, Ojibwe, and Chippewa tribes.

Even after the withdrawal of thousands of ICE agents from the Twin Cities, more than 400 remain—an unprecedented number before the surge of federal mercenaries into the city two months ago.

In short, Kristi Noem has not succeeded in achieving dictatorial control of the population of the US via DHS. Trump is trying a new strategy aimed at the same goal.

This shows that the day-to-day resistance to ICE has prevented them from achieving their chief objective. They aimed to normalize the violence of federal mercenaries as an accepted part of daily life. So far, they have failed.

Trump's kidnapping of Nicolás Maduro did nothing to change the distribution of power in Venezuela. It only put the pieces in place to loot the country of its natural resources for the benefit of elements of the US ruling class. The attack on Iran is meant to do the same.

For the Israeli government, the entire Mideast is now the West Bank. The attack on Iran shows that they are determined to subject hundreds of millions to the violence they have already been inflicting on Palestinian, Lebanese, and Syrian people.

In the US, Trump’s decision to declare war without consulting Congress shows that he already understands himself as a dictator. The attack on Iranians is meant to strike terror into Trump’s foes all around the world, including in the United States.

The Road to Prairieland

The Crackdown on Anti-ICE Activists in Texas Reflects a Pattern of Intensifying Repression

https://crimethinc.com/Prairieland

Pay attention to the Prairieland case that goes to trial in Texas next week.

By saddling the defendants with indiscriminate charges, holding them without bail, and isolating them from lawyers and the public, prosecutors are attempting to terrorize them into signing guilty pleas in order to set a precedent criminalizing dissent itself.

Some of the defendants in the Prairieland case apparently never set foot anywhere near the protest in question. Just as authorities sought to crush the #StopCopCity movement by randomly indicting people on baseless charges, here they aim to scare people out of acting in solidarity with immigrants.

The murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti show what lies at the end of this road. In those public executions, there is no role for the judicial branch of government at all—the executive branch chooses the target, pulls the trigger, and declares the victims guilty of terrorism afterwards. That is the kind of "justice" that the Trump administration aims to carry out. If they get away with what they are trying to do to the Prairieland defendants, we will be a step closer to that.

Just now, while testifying before the House of Representatives, ...

2026-02-10T17:12:59Z

Just now, while testifying before the House of Representatives, commissioner of Customs and Border Protection Rodney Scott described anti-ICE protesters as "coordinated well-funded insurgencies" as he called for even more funding and legislation to enable ICE to violently repress US citizens.

Why haven't federal agents begun widespread crackdowns on US citizens? Donald Trump has already called clearly for these—for example, by declaring the nebulous category "antifa" to be "a major terrorist organization."

The answer is simple: federal agencies still have their hands full kidnapping and deporting immigrants. But as soon as they can, they will use the same infrastructure and tactics against US citizens. Fighting for immigrants is fighting to protect ourselves and each other.

Neither law enforcement nor Democrat politicians' hollow calls for minor reforms will protect us. Federal officials have already cast their lot with fascism. We, too, must understand that the only options before us are revolution or autocracy.

Before, they were united by the war they had declared, together, on the rest of humanity. Now ICE are just murderers who were betrayed by a doddering old man, rightly hated by a whole society.

On Saturday, January 24, an ICE agent murdered Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. Five agents tackled and beat him, then an agent shot him multiple times. In response to the murder, the Whittier neighborhood immediately rose up and battled ICE, Minnesota police, and Minnesota State Troopers for over four hours, eventually forcing them to withdraw.

This murder occurred one day after a historic general strike in which more than 100,000 workers in the Twin Cities walked out against the ICE occupation. Many people in the streets expressed the opinion that the federal agents murdered Alex as an act of revenge for the strike.

To understand the ways that the economy has shifted and how our strike tactics must also shift, we compare the last two general strikes that took place in the US—both of which, conveniently, occurred in Oakland, California—in 1946 and 2011:

When industrial workers are no longer the backbone of the economy, a general strike must begin outside the workplace as well as within it. That means interrupting the economy "from outside" via blockading and similar tactics.

The blockade of the Port of Oakland in 2011 offers an example of this.

On January 10, participants in a march in Oakland smashed 47 windows at the federal building and covered it with spray paint as a way to identify it as a base of local ICE operations.

While ICE is focused on the Twin Cities, actions elsewhere spread their attention thin and inspire resistance.

Following the vandalism of at least 11 government vehicles or rentals driven by federal mercenaries at a hotel in Eagan, Minnesota last night, it's safe to say—you don't want to stay at a hotel that hosts ICE, or even park your vehicle there.

You don't want to host them at your hotel, either.

Don't believe that every word out of the mouths of the federal mercenaries is a lie?

Here is Border Patrol “Commander at Large” Gregory Bovino, dressed as an officer, of the German Gestapo, shamelessly declaring that ICE is "ethical and moral" and even "peaceful" days after his men senselessly murdered a soccer mom, shot another person in the leg, and targeted thousands of people with tear gas and flash-bang grenades.

Likewise, after ICE pointlessly tear-gassed a vehicle containing four small children and a 6-month-old baby, nearly killing the baby, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin blatantly lied, claiming "DHS law enforcement NEVER targeted this family or their innocent children."

Whatever they say, it is a lie. Never believe a word. They do violence to the truth as eagerly as they do violence to human beings.

They represent the most despicable aspects of all humanity. They will murder, kidnap, brutalize, and terrorize as long as they are permitted to.

Rapid response networks have evolved swiftly over the past several months. Besieged by 3000 federal mercenaries, volunteers in the Twin Cities have continuously updated their rapid response model, developing a dynamic and resilient system.

This report explores how you can learn from their model to build your own.
