You may have seen this image of Elon Musk's Nazi salute projected onto Tesla's Gigafactory in Berlin.
But you may not know that last year, anarchists occupied the adjacent forest to block the expansion of the Gigafactory and used direct action to shut down electricity to it.

Trump's immigration policy is performative violence intended to pacify restless white people. But it won't actually improve their lives—only raise their relative status by ruining others' lives. It is the perfect distraction for a billionaire determined to concentrate wealth and power in his own hands at everyone else's expense.
What Trump does to the undocumented today will eventually be done to many more people. If the rest of us do not act in solidarity now, we cannot expect others to act in solidarity with us when we are the ones being arrested and herded into detention centers.
Solidarity is self-defense.

If you feel despair, if you feel defeated, if you catch yourself dissociating or focusing on what our oppressors are doing rather than on what you can do yourself—that is territory that the enemy has claimed within you.
Give them nothing. Focus on your agency. Every hour, every day, wherever you are positioned, there are things you can do to resist. Take good care of yourself and those around you. Watch for opportunities and seize them.
We are in a fight—we have to focus—but it is a fight that we can win. 🏴🏴🏴

Imod Guillotinens Logik
Hvorfor Pariserkommunen brændte guillotinen, og hvorfor vi også bør gøre det.
https://crimethinc.com/2019/04/08/imod-guillotinens-logik-hvorfor-pariserkommunen-braendte-guillotinen-og-hvorfor-vi-ogsa-bor-gore-det
Guillotinen er kommet til at optage vores kollektive fantasi. I en tid, hvor splittelserne i vores samfund breder sig mod borgerkrig, repræsenterer det kompromisløs blodig hævn. Det repræsenterer ideen om, at statens vold kunne være en god ting, hvis kun de rigtige mennesker var ansvarlige.
De, der tager deres egen magtesløshed for givet, antager, at de kan fremme grusomme hævnfantasier uden konsekvenser. Men hvis vi mener det alvorligt med at ændre verden, skylder vi os selv at sørge for, at vores forslag ikke er lige så grusomme.

Today, for the seventh time, a fixed electoral process will return the despot Aleksandr Lukashenko to power in Belarus. Last time he held an "election," in 2020, an uprising nearly toppled his government:

For now, it appears that Belarus will remain under Lukashenko's rule until Vladimir Putin loses control in the region. Belarus offers a cautionary tale about the consequences of the kind of autocracy that is taking hold around the world, from India to the United States.

Today, for the seventh time, a fixed electoral process will return the despot Aleksandr Lukashenko to power in Belarus. Last time he held an "election," in 2020, an uprising nearly toppled his government: https://crimethinc.com/WhenWeRise For now, it appears…
But even in these conditions, there is resistance. Across generations of oppressive regimes, people in Belarus have learned how to resist in the most challenging conditions.
According to the Belarusian anarchist project Pramen,
"On Sunday, Lukashenko will celebrate himself in the company of people he will never be able to trust. Looking around, he will drink to victory, knowing full well that this victory means absolutely nothing. The day after the elections, Belarusian society will continue to resist by organizing sabotage actions on critical infrastructure, supporting prisoners, fighting in workplaces and universities—our desire for freedom is stronger than any repression and the dreams of dictators and tyrants about huge empires and stable regimes. Sooner or later, our struggle will free us from the shackles of the dictator, showing the whole world how ordinary people without huge resources can determine their future independently of empires."

I shall die, but that is all that I shall do for Death;
I am not on his payroll.
I will not tell him the whereabouts of my friends
nor of my enemies either.
Though he promise me much,
I will not map him the route to any man’s door.
Am I a spy in the land of the living,
that I should deliver men to Death?
Brother, the password and the plans of our city
are safe with me; never through me
Shall you be overcome.

If you're being forced out of the military on account of your gender as a result of Trump's return to power, we invite you to enlist in the real struggle for freedom. This is more honorable than fighting on behalf of those who hate you—and it's a fight that we cannot avoid.

Allies: The best way you can support trans people is by ensuring that none of us ever has to join the army in the first place. Help us fight for access to health care, community, camaraderie, self-respect, and options for survival that don’t come at the expense of others’ survival. We shouldn’t have to hire on as mercenaries for the biggest armed gang in the world to get those things.
Others in the trans community: The best way we can fight for our own liberation and the liberation of all people is to create a world in which the US military does not and cannot exist. When we legitimize the US military, we are legitimizing the very weapons that politicians like Trump will employ against us. The purpose of institutions like the US military is to impose control by means of coercive force; they have always been used against those on the margins of society. Participating in these institutions is no way to achieve self-determination: the stronger they are, the less assured our own freedom will be.

From Inclusion to Resistance
Do we really want to legitimize the US military in return for inclusion in its ranks? How does this question sit in the decades-long history of LGBT struggles? And why is it coming up again today?
Thirteen years ago today—during a demonstration in Oakland, California, a participant demonstrates the proper meaning of "armchair anarchist." 🏴

It's Safer in the Front
Faced with intensifying repression and state violence, there is an understandable inclination to seek safety by avoiding confrontation.
But this is not always the most effective strategy.

“Counterintuitively, in a confusing situation, often the best, if not safest, place to be is the front lines, so you can see what is going on around you.”

Budaya Keamanan adalah serangkaian tradisi yang dihidupi bersama oleh suatu komunitas yang anggotanya memiliki kemungkinan untuk dijadikan target oleh pemerintah dan kelompok fundamentalis, suatu tradisi yang didesain untuk meminimalisir resiko. Menerapkan security culture di dalam komunitas kita membuat kita dapat terhindar dari kerja-kerja menjenuhkan untuk menakar tingkat keamanan kita lagi dan lagi yang selalu saja dimulai dari awal.
