Trumps round-table described the movement to Stop Cop City as a domestic terrorist organization. We heard this before, from local Democrats. Today, we echo calls to unite against autocracy. Wherever 5 or 10 ppl come together, let fear subside and tactics begin. crimethinc.com/2025/10/09/n...

Simply marching in the streets once every few months will not stop fascism. We have to draw people into concrete organizing and activity. No one else is going to do this for us.
Whether there are two of you or two hundred of you, this guide goes over what you can do.

⚠️ Jamie defeated her "Domestic Terrorism" charges! Dekalb Co court acknowledged the AG's office deliberately delayed the case. Soon, the RICO will collapse. Jamie's decision to push against the charges serve as an inspiration to us all. Were we all so courageous, nothing could stop us.

ICE is training dogs for raids at ATL public schools
This morning, dozens of US Customs and Border Enforcement vehicles assembled at Carver High School in southeast Atlanta. School administration says that the federal officers are training Atlanta police K9 units at the low income school. Cop City has been open just a few months.

the president deployed the marines to LA in order to clampdown on grassroots resistance to ICE. two days ago, they left--after more than a month on the ground. authoritarian clampdown aside, this was also a trial run for a coup d'etat.

Repression is not something that comes "after" the movement. It is not a custodial task. Building police centers and concentration camps, rounding up workers on a farm, are also all acts of repression that we resist. They fight us, we fight them back. It's as simple as that.

A large number of sophisticated discourses have convinced some people that the concept of solidarity does not serve them, that the fight between federal agents and undocumented people is not a universal struggle effecting the entire society. This is "divide + conquer" rebranded.

The movement against deportations is not destructive or disruptive enough, actually. Every single day, federal authorities are ruining peoples lives and destroying families. This cannot be resolved by the Democratic party, who helped to build these policies and infrastructures.

This is the ICE facility in Portland that was the site of an Occupy ICE encampment in 2018. People are camped there again tonight.
Whether or not this takes off, the best way to support those defending their communities in LA is to find a pressure point where you are and act.

No matter how brave, how righteous, the people of Los Angeles are, they can't defeat ICE all by themselves. This is the first real resistance of the new era, a resistance we tried to catalyze in the fight against Cop City. It is right to rise up and to rebel against police, borders, and deportation.

The chase not only took place inside of City of Atlanta limits.
It took place in Little 5 Points.

This essay provides, among other things, a close look at the April 2024 Gaza solidarity protests at Emory University. Almost a year later, this may be the most extensive overview of those events published from the vantage point of the participants.

Can never forget how much of what we’re going to see in the next four years was road-tested and normalized by the last four years.
