Every year, anarchists around the world welcome the end of the old year and the arrival of the new by demonstrating outside jails and prisons to manifest a world in which no one is forgotten and everyone is free.

May life-giving courage and poetry bloom in the wreckage of an order based on oppression. Happy new year.

To Struggle Is to Remember

A call to take action and organize events on January 18, Day of the Forest Defender, in memory of Tortuguita, killed by Georgia State Patrolmen on that day in 2023 while defending Weelaunee Forest.

Together, we can create a world without police or deforestation.

Trump's attack on Venezuela is crafted to project strength at a time when he appears weak. Like Vladimir Putin, he aims to assert dominance over "his" region and to intimidate domestic adversaries.

This brings to mind the US invasion of Panama in 1989, but also the toppling of Saddam Hussein, both of which took place under Bush presidencies.

The latter destabilized Iraq, enabling the Islamic State to rise to power. Likewise, this attack will only intensify violence in Latin America.

We stand with Latin American anarchists in opposing the attack:

"In the face of imperialism, neutrality is not possible. Either you are on the side of domination, plunder, and war, or you are on the side of the oppressed."

闘争とは、記憶の実践
1月18日は森林防衛者の日

ジョージア州警察官のジェリー゠パリッシュ、ブライランド゠マイヤーズ、ジョナサン゠サルセド、ロナルド゠ケーゲル、ロイス゠ザー、マーク゠ジョナサン゠ラムが銃を構えながらアトランタ南東部にある「ウィーラウニーの森」に侵入してから3年が経つ。彼等は、仲間の森林防衛者達からトルトゥギータとして知られていたマヌエル゠テランを銃殺した。今日、同じような形の弾圧に対抗して同じ闘争が継続している。トルトゥギータの魂が動かしているのだ。過去が過去になることはない。

これは、その悲劇を追悼する日に行動を起こす呼び掛けである。

今年1月18日、トルトゥギータを、そして地球を守るために命を落とした全ての人々を追悼する行動を起こそう。デモ行進・集会・徹夜祭を組織しよう。友人達・同志達・家族で集まり、追悼し、癒し、共により強くなろう。逃亡中の人々・包囲下の人々・監視下にある人々について情報共有会を企画しよう。地元の警察基金・拘置所・監視ネットワークについてパワーマッピング集会を開催しよう。公園や森を通るハイキングを企画し、その場所を破壊から守ることを誓おう。

2000 federal mercenaries are deploying in the Twin Cities to terrorize and kidnap people. This is the front line of the regime's program to introduce fascism, rule by brute force.

But they can be beaten. Study Chicago organizers' guide to grassroots resistance to ICE:

“A World Governed by Force” — The Attack on Venezuela and the Conflicts to Come

https://crimethinc.com/Venezuela2026

We situate the attack on Venezuela in a larger context, reflect on what effective opposition could look like, and identify how we can take action in response.

***

“We live in a world that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power,” Stephen Miller told CNN host Jake Tapper, on January 5, 2026, spelling out the fascist program as he justified seizing Greenland by force. “These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.”

What is the alternative to this worldview? How can we ensure that it does not triumph?

Cómo entender los objetivos imperialistas de la administración Trump e identificar formas de resistir.

#Español

Federal mercenaries have reportedly murdered someone in the Twin Cities.

ICE is on the streets to kidnap and murder. The Trump regime has put weapons in their hands for precisely this purpose.

DO NOT trust cowardly Democrat politicians to address this. If we "remain calm," the mercenaries will continue kidnapping and murdering with impunity.

We must stand up to them.

https://crimethinc.com/mercenaries

Content warning.

This video shows clearly that the 37-year-old woman that ICE agents murdered in Minneapolis today was not posing a threat to them.

Even the mayor of Minneapolis says "To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis."

We must force ICE out of every city. They are kidnappers and murderers.

And this is how Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem dishonestly represents the events in the video of the ICE agent murdering a driver in Minneapolis.

We can all see with our own eyes that every word out of her mouth is a shameless lie.

Mendacity is standard policy for the entire Trump administration.

“Um mundo governado pela força”
O ataque à Venezuela e os conflitos que virão.

http://crimethinc.com/Venezuela26

Situamos o ataque à Venezuela no contexto da ordem mundial emergente, refletimos sobre como uma oposição eficaz poderia se apresentar e apontamos como podemos agir em resposta.

Não é apenas de petróleo, mas consolidar condições de exploração capitalista e a violência em larga escala que está por vir. Entramos numa fase de relações baseadas na força bruta, não no “estado de direito” ou diplomacia, e este ataque — assim como Trump em si — é um sintoma, não uma causa.

Iran: An Uprising Besieged from Within and Without
Three Perspectives

https://crimethinc.com/Iran2026

Starting on December 28, 2025, a new wave of protest broke out across Iran, triggered by economic distress and escalating to call for the toppling of the government. This is at least the fifth such movement in a decade, drawing on previous waves of labor unrest and feminist resistance. Yet within this uprising, the grassroots movement contends with reactionary monarchists, largely based outside Iran, who seek to win the backing of the United States and Israel to seize power.

The stakes are high. We owe it to grassroots movements in Iran to learn about them and support them, both because they are confronting a desperate situation and to ensure that a puppet regime serving the United States and Israel cannot come to power.

Here, we present three perspectives on the uprising from Iran and the surrounding region.

US Border agents just shot two people in Portland, Oregon today.

It's almost as if they are intentionally trying to desensitize us to their violence, to make us accept that they will kill whoever they want, whenever they want.

But if we do that, things will only get worse.

All around the country, we must flood the streets to show that we will not be intimidated. We have to build the capacity to defend our communities from the murderers and kidnappers in ICE. How we rise to this challenge will determine the future for all of us.

Smash ICE.
