At the Turning of the Tide: How to Fight Our Way out of the Trump Era

crimethinc.com/TurningTide

In this analysis, we revisit the structural forces behind Trump’s return to power, review the events of 2025, and propose a strategy for how to fight our way out of the Trump era together.

🧵⬇️
Why haven't federal agents begun widespread crackdowns on US citizens?

Simple: they are still busy kidnapping and deporting immigrants.

But as soon as they can, they will use the same infrastructure and tactics against you.

Fighting for immigrants is fighting to protect ourselves and each other.

The Rojava Revolution in Peril, the Struggle for Free Life Continues

With the backing of the Turkish government and the blessing of the US and European governments, the Syrian military is attempting to forcibly integrate Rojava into a newly centralized Syrian state.

The outcome remains to be seen.

Today marks one month since ICE mercenary Jonathan Ross murdered Renee Good.

It was not the first public execution ICE carried out. But because rapid responders caught it on film and angry locals forced ICE to withdraw after, there can be no question about what happened.

Resisting makes us safer.

Throughout the ICE raids, local and state police who answer to Democrat politicians have consistently done the dirty work to enable ICE to continue its campaign of ethnic cleansing.

Politicians who talk about "maintaining order" are complicit in this campaign of terror.

It's up to us. Just us.

On January 31, 50,000 people gathered in Turin in response to the eviction of the historic Askatasuna social center. The scale of the ensuing confrontations with the police shocked Italian society.

While fascism is gaining power around the world, we are also seeing a rising desire to revolt.

Trump has channeled billions of dollars to ICE for the express purpose of building a private army to scapegoat communities and repress political enemies. There is no appropriate role for ICE.

The road to fascism is paved with reforms that pacify people just long enough to tighten the vice.

If, under Adolf Hitler, the Nazis had been compelled to behave themselves more politely while they rounded up and disappeared people, if they had been discouraged from murdering German gentiles as they carried out the Holocaust, would that have addressed the problem? No.

ICE is ethnic cleansing.

Some described the movement against police and white supremacy that entered the public eye in May 2020 as a "failure" because it didn't win legislative changes.

But the Twin Cities have been able to resist ICE because of networks that developed then. Changing a broken system takes more than reform.

On August 12, 2017, Nazis and klansmen rallied in Charlottesville in support of Donald Trump and fascism. One of them murdered Heather Heyer.

What distinguishes that killing from the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti?

Only this: in 2026, fascists can murder on government payroll.

Abolish ICE.

What is violence?

Is it tossing a tear gas canister back to the mercenaries who shot it at you?

Is it blowing a whistle at bounty hunters who are trying to abduct someone?

Perhaps, rather than asking whether an action is "violent," we should ask—

Does it perpetrate oppression? Or interrupt it?

Trump supporters are claiming that whistles should be “considered a violent weapon,” that their use constitutes “interference” with immigration enforcement operations or even “assault.”

In other words—the rapid response networks are working. The whistles are working.

Let no one tell you otherwise.

Sometimes the propaganda is simple but consequential. The basic decision of the news media to refer to a chemical weapon that is banned as a war crime from being used in armed conflict as "tear gas" has helped normalize its use across the U.S. This is just aggravated assault.

"ICE attacked with a variety of dangerous weapons, blanketing the area in tear gas and injuring a number of small children. Rather than intimidating the people of Portland, this brazen assault has only galvanized them against ICE."

With the complicity of spineless Democrats, the fascists in the federal government are trying to rebrand ICE as a kinder, gentler Gestapo.

Body cams will make no one safer. The mercenary who murdered Renee Good was filming when he shot her.

Federal agents tear-gassed families and children today in Portland.

There are two approaches to counterinsurgency strategy: either you try to win the hearts and minds of the general population, or you set out to intimidate or exterminate them.

This administration has clearly chosen the latter.

Democrats are seeking "reforms" like bodycams for federal agents (so they have more footage to make commercials promoting mercenary violence), marked ICE vehicles (so we can't pressure car rental agencies), stricter codes of conduct (while thousands of bounty hunters go on terrorizing us).

Garbage.

Donald Trump wants to distract you from what ICE is doing so badly that he permitted the release of millions of pages of Epstein files.

If that doesn't work, he'll go to war with Iran.

The Democrats are negotiating milquetoast "restrictions" on ICE.

But only grassroots resistance will save us.
Remember, WE HAVE NOT WON YET!

ICE is still kidnapping and terrorizing in the Twin Cities and all around the country.

Democrats are scheming to squander the advantage that Good and Pretti paid for with their lives.

All out to the Twin Cities!

Keep fighting! 🏴
