This is Pacific Palisades, one of the wealthier neighborhoods in Los Angeles.
Capitalism is humanity making war on itself in slow motion. Now the process is speeding up and impacting more and more people, including some who were previously protected from the immediate consequences. The climate crisis is just one aspect of this catastrophe.
The floods in Porto Alegre and Valencia—Hurricanes Helene and Milton—the wildfires destroying LA. Neither corporations nor politicians will offer real solutions. We have to take direct action to defend each other and address the root causes.

The Ex-Worker podcast: Sacrificial Violence and Retribution
https://crimethinc.com/exworker109
We explore the public responses to two different extrajudicial killings—and what they tell us about the different forms of violence contending in our society today.
As we return to the Trump era, it is very important to reflect on what is driving the popular appetite for violence and how our rulers are channeling it away from themselves.

Yesterday, over 600 people gathered in Sacramento to participate in a variety of discussions and trainings about community defense.
At the same time, 200 gathered in Chicago to prepare to fight mass deportations.
Next weekend, gatherings like these will take place all around the US. You can see a list of these here:

As Trump prepares to take power once again, this is a good time to revisit how anarchists responded last time he entered office.
In 2017, thousands assembled in DC to disrupt the inauguration and set a precedent for resistance in the Trump era.

The history of anarchist involvement in counter-inaugural protest stretches back to the 1960s.
This article traces it from 1969 to 2013:
https://crimethinc.com/ungovernable
"After police drove them back from the parade route, 300-400 'ultramilitants' raged through five city blocks, smashing the windows of banks, businesses, and police cruisers, writing graffiti, chucking bottles and stones at police and soldiers, and repeatedly burning American flags."
That was 1969.
In 2001, 600 anarchists marching in a black bloc broke through a secret service checkpoint, nearly reaching the parade route, and raised the black flag at the Navy memorial as Bush's motorcade drove by.
https://crimethinc.com/five
In 2005, anarchists once again marched on the inauguration, then took the streets once more that night in a raucous march that damaged banks and a police substation in a gentrifying neighborhood.

In 2017, demonstrators blockaded six of the fourteen security checkpoints around the inaugural parade for several hours. Some locked themselves to the fences meant to keep them out.

Shortly before Trump's inaugural parade in 2017, hundreds of people gathered for an anti-capitalist, anti-fascist march. This was the notorious J20 black bloc, which left wreckage in its wake.
Though it ended in mass arrests, the police lost control of the streets for the rest of the day.
The suit-and-tie fascist Richard Spencer had showed up to the 2017 presidential inauguration, hoping that Trump's success would bring fascism to power. When a participant in the black bloc punched Spencer, the punch became world-famous, reassuring millions that they would not be alone fighting fascism.

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 crucial victory for the freedom to protest and resist. Solidarity among the defendants was crucial in this struggle.
This is how they won:

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:
