CrimethInc. Ex-WorkersThe Atlantic—no friend to anti-fascist movements—is reporting that ICE Truppenführer Greg Bovino is being demoted.
No politician or political party did this. It only occurred because of grassroots resistance and direct action.
ICE will keep kidnapping and murdering until we ourselves stop them. 🏴

CrimethInc. Ex-WorkersFirst of all, we know everything they say is a lie. They murdered Renee Good on video and lied about her. They are not credible.
Second, if anything like this ever did happen, it would be poetic justice after so much crying wolf.
Third, how do you wish people had treated the Nazis in 1934?
CrimethInc. Ex-WorkersRapid 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.

CrimethInc. Ex-WorkersToday is the birthday of Errico Malatesta, a tireless anarchist organizer and author active on four continents across six decades. To observe the occasion, we invite you to read about how he and his comrades organized mutual aid to address the cholera epidemic of 1884.
https://crimethinc.com/cholera
Malatesta began his revolutionary career in Italy in the 1870s. Flirting with left nationalism as a teenager, he concluded that only anarchism offered real change, and joined the famously insurrectionist Italian section of the International.
Having seen how republican nationalism had only brought a new regime to power in Italy and reinforced existing social inequalities, he opposed statist models for social change in favor of grassroots labor organizing and militant resistance.
Despite a three-year prison sentence hanging over his head, Malatesta joined other revolutionary anarchists on a daring mission to Naples—the heart of the cholera epidemic—to treat those suffering from the disease, showing that grassroots mutual aid can address even the most serious crises.
Afterwards, he managed to escape Italy concealed in a box of sewing machines, survived an assassination attempt in New Jersey, and organized one clandestine newspaper and uprising after another.
He remains an example to us all. 🏴
CrimethInc. Ex-WorkersNow it has been eight years since anarchists and other anti-fascists assembled in Charlottesville to block the rise of a fascist street movement.
The few hundred anti-fascists who gathered in Charlottesville in 2017 were outnumbered, underprepared, and terrified. In the end, however, their courage proved more powerful than fascist hatred.
This is important to remember today, when we face a new threat on a much greater scale, and it is difficult to imagine how to meet the moment. This is not the first time we have confronted what feels like impossible odds.

CrimethInc. Ex-WorkersBorder Patrol agents raided a Home Depot in Los Angeles today, kidnapping over a dozen people in what they called "Operation Trojan Horse."
They borrowed this tactic from Patriot Front, a neo-Nazi group that rents box trucks to transport its members to marches. Now that the fascists hold state power, they are using the same tactics on a larger scale.
But as frightening as is to have state fascists in military gear carrying out surprise assaults on our streets, remember—this tactic has been producing diminishing returns for non-state fascists. The less popular they become, the more rapidly they have to move and the more vulnerable they are to mass resistance.
Watch for an opportunity and treat them like the scum they are.

CrimethInc. Ex-Workers— The Antisemitic Plan to Smear Palestine Solidarity as Antisemitic —
Trump's excuse for kidnapping Mahmoud Khalil is that Khalil engaged in "antisemitic" activity by protesting the genocide in Palestine.
In fact, Trump is using a playbook that was designed by the far-right Heritage Foundation to accuse Jews of "antisemitism."
We can't make this stuff up.
This is a slide from the Heritage Foundation presentation that argues for political deportations like the targeting of Khalil. It purports to describe "Antisemitism's Ecosystem."
Look closely: “Soros” and Jewish Voice for Peace are at the tops of the columns titled “Masterminds” and “Organizers.”
By depicting empathy for Palestinians as participation in “a global Hamas Support Network,” the Heritage Foundation aims to dehumanize Palestinians, terrorize all who do not support colonial genocide, and forcibly subordinate all Jewish people to the Christian Nationalist agenda.
This is a fascist program. It will not make Jewish people any safer than Palestinians. Like Palestinians, Jewish people are on the hit list of potential scapegoats—and what befalls one scapegoat will eventually befall another.
