a very strong & contagious sense of "someone else will take care of this mess" runs rampant throughout US society & prevents people from getting together and collectively asserting agency & self-determination over their lives

To add to this point, after Lavoy Finicum almost plowed his car into an FBI agent and then reached for a gun while yelling “shoot me,” it fueled (and fuels) so much rage in the far right, despite it being captured on video.

Kyle Elden Mrofka, 30, a supervisory Border Patrol Agent from Arizona, was sentenced in 2019 to three years probation with no jail time for repeatedly sexually assaulting the 13-year-old daughter of a family friend after plying her with alcohol. The victim's family did not support the plea deal.

Salvador Contreras, 50, a senior Border Patrol agent from Del Rio, TX, was arrested in a 2017 sting after traveling to meet who he believed to be the mother of two young girls. He believed he had been chatting with a mother who would give him access to her girls, ages 8 and 14, to have sex with them

A thread of ICE and CBP sex offenders and credibly accused sex pasts. Content-warning descriptions of abuse Yuma Sector CBP agent Ramon Marquez, 31, was arrested in May 2025 and has been charged with 15 felonies including 14 counts of sexual conduct with a 16-year-old between Dec 2024 and Apr 2025.

one thing the general Left in the US repeatedly fail to understand is the overwhelming importance of the World Cup - there have been calls to boycott worse regimes than this one (ARG 78 being one example) and they went ignored in favor of a cultural phenomenon that eclipses politics

Elected politicians do NOT care about our liberation

The Trace has maintained a database tracking the people shot by federal agents as part of immigration enforcement:

Bring out the winter bloc, Minneapolis. From our guide in 2022: "It might be materially more challenging, but it's just as important to show up to a winter demo / action with the right gear so you and your crew are safe...

no court or elected politician will protect us from the guns of the police, border patrol, the Feds, or ICE. We have to make it politically, socially and economically unfeasible that they continue to kill us, or they'll never stop.

Fuck ICE

straight from the horse's mouth: AI-powered robots move more efficiently in manufacturing environments. It's not immigrants who will take your jobs, but AI

at what point does the left in the US step up to fill the void of state healthcare? we watched as the left decried lack of Covid protections in 2020 instead of taking them on themselves. A crucial aspect of undermining state power is replacing its mechanisms of care - we cant repeat this failure

the same violent tactics we've seen in chicago are playing out right now on the streets of minneapolis

Happy "Guy-Who-Died-By-Accidentally-Tazing-His-Own-Genitals" Day to all who celebrate

It's convenient to say, oh they're nihilists, they believe in nothing except force and power, because then you don't have to deal with the fact that they believe in something else too, namely, white supremacy.

By the way: "Don't arrest people for misdemeanor possession" isn't some radical policy. It was SEATTLE's policy until 2023, when the city created these misdemeanors. And it was the city's policy for low-level drug felonies starting in 2009. The war on drugs was revived in Seattle RECENTLY.

Hate to say it, but we all have a new responsibility. I don't like it any better than you do. We have to make a good faith effort to find out if videos or images are real before we share, and delete if we find out after the fact that we shared AI. It sucks.

US intervention in Latin America is bipartisan, precedented, and central to US history. The stronger our understanding of this, the more accurate our critiques and efforts to stop it

"Go over the pages of history, and in them you will find that in armed struggles in which the ruling classes have taken part, your role has always been that of cannon fodder, for the simple reason that you didn’t want to go to the pain of thinking with your own heads..."

In early 2025, the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians submitted a rulemaking petition to prohibit all motorboats upstream of Jack Morgan Park in a stretch of about 28 miles of navigable water.

It seems it is once again time for everyone to familiarize themselves with this anti-imperialist classic.

Wrote one of the greatest sports books ever

Stuart Schrader has produced a lot of great work on the history of policing, this will surely be another addition and worthy reading

In a representative democracy, power is concentrated among a ruling class, limiting personal freedom and self-governance. We (anarchists) aim to create a society based on self-management, voluntary association, and decentralized decision-making. 2/3

“I have served the United States in a less compelling struggle in Vietnam and will not be restricted from doing less for my People within the United States.” Sid Mills (1968) historyiswhat.noblogs.org/post/2026/01...

I genuinely believe that a lack of historical understanding of the atrocities committed in this country's name is a major contributing factor to the current state of affairs in terms of people not understanding how we got here and how we STOP going here

Good day to remember that the largest set of anti-war peaceful protests in history did absolutely nothing to stop the escalation of war in Iraq in 2003.

Democrat leaders on this platform want you to believe they are the party of resistance while supporting genocide, rubber stamping Trump's nominees, folding on trans rights, using far-right rhetoric about migrants, working with mass surveillance companies, getting mad they weren't in on a coup.

Thinking about how to start their sternly worded letter

I've yet to see any English-language post online or news coverage - including from anarchists & antofascists - that accurately historicizes US intervention in Venezuela nor prioritizes self-determination and the right to life for people in Venezuela.

be that bitch

#Trump is now using rhetoric toward Mexico similar to that used recently toward Venezuelay: "Something have to be done with Mexico." He adds that drug traffickers could also try to enter the US from Canada: these are the two countries with which the US will host next summer's World Cup.

rússia? usa tá mais usa que nunca

New: We got an internal ICE document revealing its $100 million ad plan to bring in 14,000 new hires: deals with "tactical" influencers; ads to gun & military buffs; and geo-targeting phones around NASCAR races and gun shows. A "wartime recruitment" mode with paramilitary branding: wapo.st/44QrP5j

NEW: White Supremacist Mass Shooter of Protesters To Be Released From Prison in First Week of 2026 A decade after shooting five unarmed Black protesters in Minneapolis, white supremacist Allen “Lance” Scarsella is set to be released from his prison sentence on January 5, 2026.

as anarchists critical of electoral politics, it is crucial we understand its broad appeal & function amidst fascism, racism, xenophobia, and rampant political corruption. as democratic socialism gains popularity, how can anarchists intervene in favor of non-representative self-determination?
