Another War Was Possible Revisiting the movement against capitalist globalization that took place at the turn of the century from the vantage point of our dystopian present, we can grasp how much is at stake in today’s struggles. This is the introduction to a new book published by PM Press. image
We've prepared a zine version of "Mutual Aid, the Commons, and the Revolutionary Abolition of Capitalism," revisiting the difference between mutual aid and charity and exploring the role of mutual aid in struggles to change the world. Please print and distribute!
We Are Not Demonstrating, We Are Fighting Migrant Defense in Seattle, June 9-14 Starting in Minneapolis on June 3 and rapidly spreading to Los Angeles and elsewhere around the country, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids have provoked angry community responses. Although this wave of action appeared to peak with the “No Kings” demonstrations of June 14, ICE agents continue to abduct people and people continue to resist. In this account, participants in a series of clashes in and around Seattle describe how they have prevented ICE from kidnapping people at court appearances, demonstrating a way forward for the movement. image
Postscript on Legalism Donald Trump and his administration employ the laws and courts wherever it suits them. Wherever laws and courts pose an obstacle to their program, they disregard those right up to the limit imposed by the current balance of power within the state. It is clear for all to see that for them, the law is simply one of many weapons—it has no power to bind them. Yet many of Trump’s opponents continue hamstring resistance by focusing on questions of legality and other niceties, failing to grasp the reality of the situation. image
As seen in the resistance to federal raids around the country over the past week! We send out these stickers for the costs of production and shipping alone. Make it clear that immigrants are welcome in your community—and ICE mercenaries are not.
These fliers are for distributing at the "No Kings" demonstrations on June 14, 2025, in response to Trump's attempt to seize power via military occupation. "The decisive moment has arrived. Disruptive, courageous action is our only chance. If we fight, we will win." image
As we've seen in Los Angeles, any pretense of noncooperation between the police and the federal mercenaries who are terrorizing our communities dissolves as soon as we stand up for each other. Together, all of these institutions comprise a single apparatus of repression. Police not welcome. image
Liberals fear that if people act unruly, Trump will be able to impose totalitarian control. That gets things backwards. Trump is already imposing totalitarian control. That's what is driving people into the streets. It's too late to avoid this fight. We can be passive and lose—or give it our all. image
"We can handle one 10,000-person protest, but ten 1000-person protests throughout the city will overwhelm us." -LAPD Chief Michel Moore, discussing the 2020 uprising Decentralization is key. Don't let anyone tell you our movements need to be under centralized leadership or control. Elon Musk personally banned our Twitter account in 2022, but this post from 2020 remains good advice today. image
The Trump administration began by attacking immigrants—both documented and undocumented—because they believe immigrants to be the most vulnerable target with the least widespread support. But whatever they can do to immigrants today they will do to the rest of us tomorrow. Even the most milquetoast centrists must understand that the outcome of the conflict that is ramping up now will determine the prospects for every other target Trump has lined up in his sights, from Harvard University to those who simply wish to be able to afford groceries. Our future is at stake in this fight. We cannot stand aside. image
