The shooting in San Diego is not just another episode of gun violence. It is part of the joint terror campaign that the Trump administration and its supporters are waging against us from both within the state and outside it.

Ben Morea has passed away. Known for his participation in Up Against the Wall Motherfucker, the self-styled “street gang with an analysis” active in the Lower East Side of Manhattan in the late 1960s, he withdrew from the city and pursued a path into revolutionary animism. In this visionary eulogy, Tasos Sagris of Void Network recounts Ben’s subsequent visit to Exarchia, the Athenian neighborhood famed as a hotbed of anarchism.
Today, the Exarchia that Tasos describes has also changed. To mourn a single person is to mourn an entire vanished world. Yet, as Tasos explores, there is a silver thread that connects Ben’s life and the legacy of Exarchia to our own present and possible future.

In this analysis, Ayman Makarem of the From the Periphery media collective reviews a century of colonial violence in Palestine and Lebanon to illuminate the current Israeli occupation and what it would take to resist it.
It is important to remember that this occurred—above all, because the Israeli government continues to perpetrate genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon, but also because centrists have dishonestly claimed that protests in solidarity with Gaza halted when Trump took office. They didn't.
As the genocide continues today, it is important to continue to pressure war profiteers directly rather than hoping that politicians will put an end to it for us. They won't.
Adapted from de-arrest tactics popularized by participants in protests against police, this guide outlines several strategies that community members can combine with rapid response networks, patrols, neighborhood hubs, and other yet-to-be-conceived models to protect our neighbors from abduction. Ideally, people who are working together to resist ICE should organize a one-hour community defense workshop to learn and practice these skills, using this material.

Among them is the anarchist Antonio García Barón, who fought in the Durruti Column during the Spanish Civil War.

After Congress voted to fund parts of the Department of Homeland Security without funding ICE, CNN is reporting that [House Speaker Mike] "Johnson and his GOP have effectively lost their ability to govern.”
Good.
The less they can govern us, the better. ICE is just the tip of the iceberg.
“To be GOVERNED is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so.
"To be GOVERNED is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, admonished, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility and in the name of the general interest, to be drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonored. That is government; that is its justice; that is its morality.”
― Pierre-Joseph Proudhon
What shared principles could serve as the foundation for a powerful movement against the persecution of immigrants?
We suggest ten baselines for collective struggle.

What do we want for May Day? In short, to take another step towards freedom from all forms of oppression—towards what we call anarchy, by which we mean egalitarian relationships based in self-determination, solidarity, and mutual aid. Anarchists have been central to May Day since its origins as a labor holiday in 1886, when police in Chicago attempted to suppress anarchist labor organizers who were fighting for right to the eight-hour workday.
Today, as intensifying authoritarianism propels more and more people into action, we have a window of opportunity to make real change. But what does a general strike look like in 21st-century capitalism?
We present some starting points and a handbill to promote them.

Now, between clashes with the stormtroopers of the Trump regime, is a good time to put the pieces in place to be ready for the next round.
The clashes during the 2001 FTAA summit arguably represent the apex of the powerful anti-capitalist movement of the turn of the century, at least in North America.
In this narrative, a participant in the resistance in Québec City recounts the street battles and explains the ambitions of those who fought in them:
Dmitry had been corresponding with us, reporting on the resistance to the Russian invasion. His humility and dedication to the anarchist movement always impressed us.
After Dmitry was killed, his comrades revealed that he had been involved in some of the most daring anarchist initiatives in 21st-century Russia.
Here, we offer an overview of his efforts as a snapshot of the past two decades of struggle in the post-Soviet world:
