"Laws, courts, prisons, intelligence agencies, tax collectors, armies, police: most of the instruments of coercive power that we consider oppressive in a monarchy or a dictatorship operate no differently in a democracy. That's why the same government can seamlessly transition back and forth between imposing the decisions of a minority and enforcing majority rule. Yet when we are permitted to cast ballots about who supervises these institutions, we're more likely to regard them as ours, even when they're used against us. This is the great achievement of two and a half centuries of democratic revolutions: instead of abolishing the means by which kings governed, they rendered those means popular."

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?

The Illegitimacy of Violence, the Violence of Legitimacy

What is violence? Who gets to define it? Does it have a place in the pursuit of liberation? This discussion never takes place on a level playing field.

Great research! It needs to be widely read! 'Anarchism, when applied consistently, provides structures allowing for highly advantageous strategies when defending society, making anarchist social structures capable of defence against external invasion when fully established.'

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.

Demonstrators apparently retrieved from the cars belonging to ICE these "challenge coins" that ICE mercenaries receive when they carry out arrests. This one is decorated with a skull wearing a crown. ICE mercenaries serve king death. They are evil incarnate.

After ICE agents shot people in Minneapolis tonight, a crowd faced them down and eventually chased them away, despite federal mercenaries and police shooting a tremendous amount of tear gas. ICE agents abandoned vehicles in the area, containing IDs, paperwork, license plates, and operational plans.

A question for liberals Source: @crimethinc.com From Democracy To Freedom (pg 14-15) crimethinc.com/books/from-d...

"How much do you buy into the idea that the democratic process should trump your own conscience and values?

Let's try a quick exercise. Imagine yourself in a democratic republic with slaves-say, ancient Athens, or ancient Rome, or the United States of America until the end of 1865. Would you obey the law and treat people as property while endeavoring to change the laws, knowing full well that whole generations might live and die in chains in the meantime? Or would you act according to your conscience in defiance of the law, like Harriet Tubman and John Brown?

If you would follow in the footsteps of Harriet Tubman, then you, too, believe that there is something more important than the rule of law. This is a problem for anyone who wants to make conformity with the law or with the will of the majority into the final arbiter of legitimacy."

As we all said, international law, such as it was, no longer exists. The United States, following Israel’s precedent, considers itself to have the explicit authority to blatantly violate sovereignty anywhere in the world and abduct even leaders of other states. There are no guardrails whatsoever.

Just got off the phone with @SecRubio

He informed me that Nicolás Maduro has been arrested by U.S. personnel to stand trial on criminal charges in the United States, and that the kinetic action we saw tonight was deployed to protect and defend those executing the arrest warrant

This action likely falls within the president’s inherent authority under Article II of the Constitution to protect U.S. personnel from an actual or imminent attack

Thank you, @SecRubio, for keeping me apprised

The US Attorney General confirms Maduro is being charged with "conspiracy to possess machine guns" - something Republicans usually call a constitutional right.

Pam Bondi: Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, have been indicted in the Southern District of New York. Nicolas Maduro has been charged with Narco-Terrorism Conspiracy, Cocaine Importation Conspiracy, Possession of Machineguns and Destructive Devices, and Conspiracy to Possess Machineguns and Destructive Devices against the United States. They will soon face the full wrath of American justice on American soil in American courts. On behalf of the entire U.S. DOJ, I would like to thank President Trump for having the courage to demand accountability on behalf of the American People, and a huge thank you to our brave military who conducted the incredible and highly successful mission to capture these two alleged international narco traffickers.

Don't overthink the Trump admin's reasoning here. They don't have a grand scheme. They are willing to upend the international order because they think everyone else will be too scared to fuck with them. And whatever terrorist attacks this inspires against us will just help them electorally.

We stand with Latin American anarchists against the attack: "In the face of imperialism, neutrality is not possible. Either you are on the side of domination, plunder, and war, or you are on the side of the oppressed." -Coordinación Anarquista LatinoAmerica www.blackrosefed.org/cala-stateme...

Defending people’s self-determination—dominated, exploited, and oppressed classes within so-called “national” contexts—does not imply idealizing governments or denying internal contradictions inherent in the Venezuelan process, of which we are critical, but rather rejecting foreign intervention outright and affirming the right of every dominated, exploited, and oppressed class to fight for the improvement of their destiny without threats, blockades, or occupations. In this sense, we affirm that organization in the face of this situation cannot come from above or be delegated to state structures, but can only be built from below, through popular organization and the direct participation of those who sustain daily life under conditions of siege.

Trump's attack on Venezuela brings to mind the US invasion of Panama in 1989, but also the toppling of Saddam Hussein, both of which took place under Bush presidencies. The latter enabled the Islamic State to rise to power. Likewise, this attack will only intensify violence in Latin America.

Trump's attack on Venezuela is crafted to project strength at a time when he appears weak. Like Vladimir Putin, he aims to assert dominance over "his" region and to intimidate domestic adversaries. But in reducing state power to a matter of brute force, the Trump regime is playing with fire. 🧵⬇️

These fliers are for distributing at the "No Kings" demonstrations on June 14, 2025, in response to Trump's attempt to seize power via military occupation. crimethinc.com/zines/it-is-... "The decisive moment has arrived. Disruptive, courageous action is our only chance. If we fight, we will win."

The front of a flier, reading

It Is Fascism. Start Actng Like It.
Yes, Trump probably has a Master Plan to use riots to justify military occupation. And just like his Master Plan to use tariffs to bring back jobs, it is completely idiotic.

They believe they can beat and intimidate us into submission. But this will backfire.

If every city in America fought like the angels on the first nights of the LA uprising, the regime wouldn’t stand a chance.

The Decisive Moment Has Arrived
Trump has deployed active duty Marines to Los Angeles and threatened to use “equal or greater force” across the country if people dare to resist his agenda.

The Democratic Party, the courts, and all the existing institutions of government have failed. The law is now Trump’s weapon and the police, ICE, DHS, FBI, the National Guard, the Marines, whatever – all of them are now his footsoldiers.

This is fascism. You know it. Now is the time to start acting like it.

The regime will not be swayed by empathy with peaceful protestors or opinion polls or the threat of a blue wave in the midterms. That is no longer the country we are in.

When the law becomes the weapon of tyrants, we are all above the law. That is what it means to say the people are sovereign.

Disruptive, Courageous Action Is Our Only Chance
The first days of the Los Angeles uprising showed us what effective action looks like: not an army with guns, but everyday people collectively dismantling police equipment, preventing ICE and the cops from enforcing Trump’s commands.

In a democracy, you vote a president out. In fascism, you prevent the Dictator’s functionaries from carrying out his will. A king is only a king when his wish is your command. When the people refuse to let his wishes come true, he becomes a clown.

Now is the best chance we have to topple this regime. If we wait, they will consolidate control of education and the media. They will rewrite history and churn out a generation of loyalists. In the months and years …
