The trial of Jair Bolsonaro and his allied generals begins today for their plot to stage a coup d'état in January 2023 after losing the election to Lula da Silva. In addition to a business-funded uprising that stormed the government headquarters in Brasília on January 8, 2023—emulating Trump on January 6—his political and military allies plotted to kill Lula, his vice-presidential candidate, and members of the Brazilian Supreme Court.This is the first time in Brazil that a political leader and military generals have gone to court for a coup d'état or attempted coup. The country has endured several coup attempts and two dictatorships—the last of which lasted until 1985—and none of the military officials responsible for disappearances, torture, and deaths have been tried and punished.https://crimethinc.com/January8Brazil

This time, the international press and politicians are calling attention to "the maturity of Brazilian democracy" in trying Bolsonaro for his political crimes and making him ineligible to run for office so he doesn't return to power with impunity the way Trump did in the US. But it's symptomatic that Brazilian institutions only moved to act when the lives of their high-ranking members were at risk, not when Bolsonaro weaponized the COVID-19 pandemic against the poor, favela populations, and Indigenous peoples and turned entire cities into testing grounds for COVID-denialism, causing more than 716,000 senseless deaths, as attested by a parliamentary commission that investigated and gathered evidence of his crimes against the population.We cannot expect these institutions to protect us. Historically, they have sided with coup plotters and murderers and only act to protect themselves. Our only hope is to organize a popular force capable of defending itself beyond the spectacles of media trials.https://crimethinc.com/VirusofPopulism

Nothing could be more naïve than to imagine that Donald Trump's effort to put the military on the streets of US cities has anything to do with "fighting crime." He himself is very clear: this is an act of war against the part of the population that does not support his autocracy.No political party is going to protect us. We must build the capacity to defend ourselves through grassroots initiatives or watch powerlessly as his mercenaries come for our neighbors one after another until they finally come for us.Gather the people you trust and discuss what kinds of action you are prepared to take together. The fascists are not in a position to triumph over us unless we remain passive. Get organized. 🏴https://crimethinc.com/opsec

Insurrections occur in waves. We can trace the trail of sparks in Southeast Asia from the toppling of the president of Sri Lanka in 2022 to the 2024 uprising in Bangladesh to the revolt in Indonesia last month. Now the momentum has spread to Nepal.Whatever happens next, this revolt should give pause to politicians and police who imagine that they can pillage and terrorize with impunity. Today, the money you obtain may insulate you from the consequences of your actions—but tomorrow?None of these revolts have yet achieved all of their aims, but we can study all of them to see how they might. Likewise, the complicity of the Communist Party of Nepal in the massacre that catalyzed this revolt should remind all aspiring revolutionaries that even if you have "communist" in the name of your party, you won't be able to solve the problems of capitalism simply by wielding the violence of the state.Background on the uprising in Sri Lanka:https://crimethinc.com/GotaGoGamaWhy you can't use the state to abolish capitalism:https://crimethinc.com/government

Tonight, the Israeli military carried out a drone strike targeting a civilian vessel hundreds of miles away, solely on account of the passengers' intention to symbolically challenge the blockade that Israel is using to starve Gazans to death.Although the Tunisian National Guard initially denied that a drone strike occurred, the Global Sumud Flotilla posted both video footage and eyewitness testimony that appears to confirm that the boat was, indeed, struck by a drone. It seems most likely that, once again, the denial of the Tunisian National Guard simply indicates the complicity of international institutions in the perpetration of genocide in Gaza.The Israeli military has attacked every single flotilla protesting the blockade around Gaza since 2010.The violence of the Israeli state is systematic, indiscriminate, continuous, and targets anyone who could interfere with their program of ethnic cleansing. Backed by Christian Zionists, they perpetrate this violence right up to the limit of what they can get away with. In addition to the tens of thousands they have murdered and the millions they have displaced, rendered homeless, tortured, terrorized, and imprisoned, this also makes life more dangerous for Jewish people everywhere.There is no excuse for Zionism.http://crimethinc.com/Gaza2024

Make Ready: Safeguarding Our Movements against Repressionhttps://crimethinc.com/SafeguardingDonald Trump has signaled that he is expanding his offensive against immigrants to target critics of his regime as well. In directing repression at an invented category ("antifa") rather than a specific organization or form of activity, he means to convey that regardless of who you are or what you do, you, too, could become a target.Fortunately, there are already groups that have experience dealing with this kind of repression, and there are concrete steps we can all take to prepare our communities to weather the coming storm. Rather than spreading panic, this will enable us to approach this situation calmly and effectively.Everyone should read this guide.

It happened in Turkey to the Armenians.It happened in Europe during the Holocaust.It's happening in Gaza right now.It's getting underway at ICE facilities around the US.And if we don't put a stop to it, one day it could happen to you, too.Dehumanization paves the way for ethnic cleansing.https://crimethinc.com/ChicagoBroadview

Today, we are remembering David Graeber, who passed away five years ago.“Nothing could conceivably be more violent than to tell us—and particularly our young people—we are forbidden to even dream of a peaceful, caring world.”https://crimethinc.com/ShockofVictory

Anarchism is the project of fostering relationships in which no one is able to systematically dominate or oppress anyone else because power is distributed evenly and cooperation is incentivized more than cutthroat competition.It is the opposite of authoritarianism.https://crimethinc.com/contradictionary

With the government shutting down, who will funnel our taxes to military contractors? Who will subsidize the billionaires? Who will tap our phones, raid our communities, deport our neighbors?Unfortunately, the shutdown won't stop those activities of the state.The real problem is that the shutdown doesn't go far enough. Make the shutdown comprehensive and permanent!https://crimethinc.com/shutdown"As anarchists, we’ve got a hunch that people can get along just fine without a government. We’re convinced that everything the government does is either harmful and should be abolished outright (borders, prisons, armies, surveillance) or can be done better by groups of people working together freely (social welfare, preserving wilderness, coordinating production and distribution, collective self-defense)."

"Not only do I want to see them killed... I'd really like to see them suffer. I'd like Trump and Hegseth to make it last a long time."The chief goal of the Trump regime's operations murdering people in the Caribbean is to foster bloodlust in their supporters—to turn them into debased monsters like the ghoul in this video.Why would they do that? Consult René Girard on sacrificial violence:https://crimethinc.com/sacrificialviolenceMeanwhile, Democrat politicians are objecting to the strikes in the Caribbean—as should everyone.But Democrats have supported the Israeli government in continuously perpetrating precisely these same war crimes, including "double tap" murders in which they strike a civilian target, then hit the survivors.Real change is up to us.

While Trump’s henchmen dishonestly claim that ICE is targeting “criminals,” the real wrongdoers are those who do harm to their neighbors in return for a bribe.Our counter-recruitment poster against ICE, seen wheatpasted across middle America.You can put them up, too:https://crimethinc.com/mercenaries

By concentrating their forces on the Twin Cities, ICE is attempting to break the spirit of the whole country, erase the legacy of the George Floyd uprising, and set a precedent that they can repeat everywhere.But if ICE can converge, so can everyone else. All out to the Twin Cities to resist them.Thousands of people across the Twin Cities are mobilizing against ICE. Federal mercenaries roam the city attacking people at random—but everywhere they go, they meet fierce resistance.What happens in the Twin Cities will determine what happens to us all.Don't surrender to fascism.https://crimethinc.com/ICEmurder2026

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 their vehicles in the area, containing IDs, paperwork, license plates, gear, and operational plans.Demonstrators apparently retrieved these "challenge coins" that ICE mercenaries receive when they kidnap people.This "coin" is decorated with a skull wearing a crown.ICE mercenaries serve king death. They are evil incarnate.

If the strike called for January 23 in protest against ICE is to succeed, ordinary people—most of whom are not unionized—will have to walk out and take it upon themselves to disrupt business as usual. No union leadership or organization can do this for us.https://crimethinc.com/TwoGeneralStrikes🏴

On this day, January 28, in the year 2012, in a face-off with police during the Occupy movement, this enterprising young man in Oakland taught us the proper meaning of "armchair anarchist."Anything can be a instrument of social change if you use it right. 🏴🖤https://crimethinc.com/contradictionary

Democrats are seeking "reforms" like bodycams for federal agents (so they have more footage to make commercials promoting mercenary violence), marked ICE vehicles (so we can't pressure car rental agencies), stricter codes of conduct (while thousands of bounty hunters go on terrorizing us).Even if the regime is forced to slow down a bit, their goal is full totalitarianism. Trump is implementing fascism as fast as we let him. By treating this as something to be "reformed," Democrats are complicit in normalizing it.If, under Adolf Hitler, the Nazis had been compelled to behave themselves more politely while they rounded up and disappeared people, if they had been discouraged from murdering German gentiles as they carried out the Holocaust, would that have addressed the problem? No. ICE is ethnic cleansing.https://crimethinc.com/MessageGermany
