@jimmykimmel.com A reminder that we should all hold our 'hot takes' on days like this till we have full information on motives, politics, etc. Politicizing every shooting or terror act from the get-go is reckless and dumb. nypost.com/2025/09/24/u...

Eat. Sleep. Exercise. Nurture the relationships that sustain you. Protect your health. Find joy. Don't mistake any of these for the resistance itself. Joy isn't resistance, neither is rest. But you need to be whole to resist for a lifetime.

Recognition of State of Palestine by Canada, France, UK etc is not only performative it is dangerous. It doesnt commit to ending genocide or implementing arms embargo and sanctions. Plus, explicitly calls for demilitarization of Palestine and disarming resistance. Reviving Oslo is not an option!

Make Ready: Safeguarding Our Movements against Repression crimethinc.com/Safeguarding Donald Trump has signaled that he is expanding his offensive against immigrants to target critics of his regime as well. Everyone should read this guide spelling out concrete steps we can take to prepare.

Karl Rove, CEO of ANTIFA

The total violence exhibited with only a few weeks left in semesters was a sign of authoritarianism but also a sign of strategic weakness. A ruling class that can no longer tolerate dissent is a ruling class terrified and wracked with shame and guilt. They are both more dangerous and more fragile

reporter whose whole Thing is covering protests: no it’s not, it’s a very basic safety recommendation as we see an increase in nonprofits/501c3s using signups to add people to email lists which can easily be subpoenaed or seized by the state. this take scans as pretty manipulative tbh

"Charlie Kirk wasn’t a martyr for political moderation and bipartisan understanding. He was a partisan brawler who wanted to humiliate and crush his enemies. His legacy is making political discourse in the United States cruder, meaner, and more cruel." instruggle.substack.com/p/charlie

What does gentrification have to do with authoritarianism? I talked with @xandrewleex.bsky.social about how displacement, surveillance, and “quality of life” policing function as tools of social control—and why housing struggles are class struggles.

Newsom threw trans people under the bus and is so hyped about clearing homeless encampments that he's taken up the work with his own hands. You won't beat fascism with Diet Fascism.

Trump's deployment of the National Guard for anti-unhoused quality-of-life policing in DC has dragged us into a frightening new era of military gentrification. Read more at instruggle.substack.com

New episode of Conversations on Anarres is now available. We talk with @xandrewleex.bsky.social about his essay "Democracy: Beyond the State". What are the radical possibilities of democratic ways of life and how has the US failed to achieve them?

"Revolts aren’t silver bullets. They’re practice for what’s to come."

How can we orient ourselves before the next mass rebellion? I shared some thoughts and prompts in my latest piece at instruggle.substack.com/p/capacity

Trump first tried issuing orders to hire 15k new border enforcement officers in 2017. By 2019, CBP had only 33 new hires and 2,000 more job vacancies than they had when the order was first issued. Do not let the reality tv man dictate your understanding of the political terrain.

Zohran's win in the NYC mayoral primary is historic but not unprecedented. In fact, he'll actually be the third socialist mayor of America's largest city in my lifetime. What does that mean for our movements? For more, check out my latest article at instruggle.substack.com/p/zohran

PLEASE SPREAD!!! CMB has purchased 14 acres of farm land 20 minutes outside of Atlanta as a space for food production, movement retreat meeting, and training space. We are specifically raising money to support the building of our retreat space on the land! fundrazr.com/LoveLandLibe...

The occupation of Iraq was justified through same rhetoric we hear now about Iran: weapons of mass destruction, saving women & queers, clash of civilizations etc the task of anti-imperialist left is not to litigate the veracity of these allegations, but to refuse racist premise for imperialist war

I am continually astounded by the amount of condescension that some "leftist" "organizers" have for young people.

BE SAFE. GO HARD

"Direct action disrupts order...And just like things that are normally non-violent magically become violent when directed against order, things that are extraordinarily violent get erased when they’re deployed to restore capitalist order."

Always keen insights

@prisonculture.bsky.social and I have been encouraging people to read chapter six of our book, Let This Radicalize You, which deals with the question of "violence" in social movements. We have decided to share the chapter publicly, to offer some context and grounding for the current conversation.

Reports coming in that people managed to break out and escape horrific ICE prison in #NewJersey. "About 50 inmates at Delaney Hall, the ICE detention facility in Newark, banded together and pushed down the wall of a dormitory room..." www.nj.com/essex/2025/0...

Reports of an uprising inside Delaney Hall immigration detention center in Newark NJ. I was here with people trying to visit family when we all started choking due to tear gas used inside.

The only things to say to the police, at a protest or at any other time. I am obviously not a lawyer--talking to your local National Lawyers Guild chapter or legal defense collective for better advice--but when in doubt, remain silent!

"The Trump administration is repurposing antiracism into a grenade and lobbing it at the remnants of the welfare state. Across the world, the right wing is blowing up everything and incinerating the planet. White supremacy is apocalyptic for everyone."

"Get a crew of folks down to start causing trouble, and remember–you're not alone. We are part of a tradition of resistance spanning continents and generations. And we will win." From my interview with mk zariel at debatemebro.substack.com/p/interview-...

The. U.S. Military. Should. Never. Be. Deployed.

"Rubber bullets" aren't bullets made of rubber. They're METAL bullets COATED in rubber. This is what LA police are shooting at international journalists.

Keep yourself safe, whether you're participating in, documenting, or simply observing a protest.

🚨 SOUTH PHILLY: ICE was spotted on 7th & Snyder at 9am this morning; their two unmarked Dodge SUVs (one gray, one black) are heading South on Broad as of 10am. Community members have eyes on them—alert your neighbors! KKF 7661 gray Dodge SUV LTM 932 black Dodge SUV

This is a solid way to identify a person who has never (actually) been to los angeles

… would the situation somehow be less violent were ICE left to snatch and disappear people without impediment?… the situation was already a state of intolerable violence. @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2025/06/09/l...

Clout comes and goes but criminal charges are forever

"This isn’t merely the death of a republic, it is the outright collapse of an empire. Shouldn’t I feel some form of satisfaction in the death of empire? It feels like I should, but all I feel in fear and sickness."

"the government wants you to be violent don't give them what they want!!!!" pretty sure the government wants you talking shit on the world wide web about people actually fighting back but yeah go off

People trying to protect their neighbors are not the problem. The fact that some of you are thinking that way reflects a level of psychological capture & submission to fascism that you should interrogate. If they want an "excuse" to do something, they'll create one. The good guys aren't the problem.

Imagine how weak you have to be to have to mobilize the national guard because you can’t get your people out of a California Home Depot parking lot.

If you see someone doing something you don't like at a protest, betray them immediately.
