After the protests at the 2017 inauguration, a fierce legal struggle ensued, as prosecutors attempted to put protesters in prison for decades for the alleged crime of wearing black in the vicinity of a march. In the end, the prosecution was completely defeated—a…
After the 2017 inauguration, we published a blow-by-blow account and analysis of the day's events, showing how demonstrators took on much better-equipped adversaries and why police lost control, distilling the strategic lessons.
It still makes for instructive reading:

In 2017, it made sense to concentrate numbers in DC to demonstrate what resisting Trump could look like. The tactics that a few hundred people employed on the first day of Trump's presidency were being used by hundreds of thousands by the summer of 2020.
In 2025, the second round of this fight is about to begin all across the country with mass deportations and repression. This time, people are gathering in their communities to share skills and prepare:

La vision es clara. Ganaremos bajo nuestros propios esfuerzos. Los tiempos de Trump no estan en el pasado, lo estamos navegando. La mejor manera de afrontarlo, es luchando.

Yesterday, the Day of the Forest Defender, in honor of Manuel "Tortuguita" Terán—murdered by Georgia State Troopers two years ago while defending Weelaunee Forest—people took over a billboard on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. From a statement:
"The writers of this message took over a billboard on one of NYC's largest highways, used by 130,000 vehicles daily. We covered a CopShot police billboard that recruits informants with a $10,000 bribe. In the context of a city that spends $29 million dollars a day on policing, off the side of a highway that displaced thousands of families, we replace the state's cowardly propaganda with a commemoration of land defenders' sacrifice and struggle. Collective memory animates our will to destroy this empire that is killing us and our planet. As the US funnels billions into building Cop Cities across the country in its latest attempt to repress us, they concede what we already know—that rebellion is inevitable."
"Viva Tortuguita And All Land Defenders."

Donald Trump is threatening to begin his second presidency with a new round of gratuitous violence targeting undocumented families.
In 2017-2018, people around the US blockaded airports, freeways, and ICE facilities. There were school walkouts and demonstrations and barricades.
There are things we can do to resist. Let's stand up for each other.

Assembled at his inauguration, we see the oligarchs who lined up to bring Donald Trump back to power. Capitalism has always meant rule by billionaires, but it is especially noxious that this particular billionaire has returned to office by pretending to oppose "the elite." In fact, the new Trump administration represents the intensification of state violence for the benefit of the ultra-rich. They regard the rest of us as disposable resources in their quest for total domination.
We have to fight them with everything we have.

While some wring their hands about the return of Donald Trump, others are getting organized to resist and defend each other.

Elon Musk made the Nazi salute twice at Trump's inauguration.
Musk bought Twitter to reinstate Nazis. He supports the German fascist party AfD. He has spread antisemitic "replacement" rhetoric.
Yet the ADL is making excuses for him because, like them, he supports the genocide of Palestinians.
Unsurprisingly, fascism looks a bit different this time around than it did a century ago. But it already has its Henry Ford, its autocrats, its scapegoats against whom to direct anger, its sacrificial violence.
We should have no illusions about what we're up against.

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.
