We honor the courage of those who occupied the Interdisciplinary Engineering Building at the University of Washington to protest the university's ties to Boeing.
As the Israeli military prepares to step up the pace of the genocide in Gaza, such solidarity actions are needed more than ever.

"Until America goes into political decline, there won't be an American pope."
-Robert Barron, appointed by Donald Trump to the so-called "White House Commission on Religious Liberty"
Only a few hours passed between this statement and the appointment of Robert Prevost as successor to Pope Francis.

The Occupation of the Sha’ban al-Dalou Building
A Report-Back from the University of Washington
https://crimethinc.com/UW2025
On May 5, demonstrators boldly occupied the engineering building to protest Boeing's complicity in genocide. In this anonymous report, participants explore their motivations and recount the events in detail.
This courageous action comes as the Israeli military prepares to open a new chapter in its effort to exterminate the Palestinian population of Gaza. At the same time, millions around the United States are impatiently awaiting the emergence of tactics via which to resist the Trump administration’s efforts to consolidate power in the hands of an autocracy.

Our comrades at It's Going Down have published a roundup of inspiring May Day events around the county, showing all the different forms that organizing and resistance are assuming.
https://itsgoingdown.org/may-day-2025-roundup/
You can read our original call for May Day organizing here, including a list of events across the world:
https://crimethinc.com/MayDay2025
"The massive turn-out on May Day shows that there is growing working-class opposition to Trump’s authoritarianism as well as the neoliberalism on offer from the Democratic party. Autonomous anti-capitalist movements from below must seize the moment and build rank-and-file power and answer Trump’s attacks with self-organization, direct action, and our biggest collective weapon: solidarity."

Ben Morea—of Up Against the Wall Motherfucker, the "street gang with an analysis" that popularized the idea of organizing in affinity groups—appeared in New York City on Thursday for the release of his memoir.

Even if your intention is simply to negotiate, you put yourself in a weaker bargaining position by spelling out from the beginning the least it would take to appease you. No shrewd negotiator begins by making concessions. It’s smarter to appear implacable:
"So you want to come to terms? Make us an offer. In the meantime, we’ll be here blocking the freeway and setting things on fire."

Why We Don't Make Demands
The problem isn’t that today’s movements lack demands—the problem is the politics of demands itself. The alternative is to set our agenda on our own terms, outside the discourse of those in power.

Combattre la mécanique de l’expulsion en France dans les années 1990

A l’heure où Donald Trump, Elon Musk et leurs laquais s’en prennent aux sans-papiers et kidnappent des immigrés qui s’opposent au génocide, même quand ils sont porteurs de Green Card, c’est un bon moment pour étudier comment des gens se sont opposés à la violence d’état dans d’autres lieux et d’autres temps.

Today, the 61 people facing trumped up RICO charges for opposing the construction of Cop City, a police militarization facility in Atlanta, assembled for a court date.
All around the country, people dropped banners expressing solidarity with them. These pictures show banners in Chicago, Minneapolis, and New Orleans.
The fight is far from over.

"The arrival of the second Trump era has vindicated the decision to focus on resisting police militarization. Every repressive policy that Trump decrees will be imposed by police and other state mercenaries."
