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."

ICE are not invincible. Police are not invincible.
In this footage from May 5, students at the University of Washington and their supporters force back police officers, protecting an occupation of the engineering building in protest against the complicity of Boeing in the arms trade and in solidarity with those experiencing genocide in Gaza.

https://crimethinc.com/2025/05/09/loccupazione-di-shaban-al-dalou-un-resoconto-dalluniversita-di-washington
In questo resoconto anonimo, i partecipanti all’occupazione dell’edificio di ingegneria dell’Università di Washington analizzano le proprie ragioni e ricostruiscono dettagliatamente gli eventi. Si tratta di una mossa coraggiosa, che arriva mentre l’esercito israeliano si prepara a iniziare un nuovo capitolo per eliminare la popolazione palestinese di Gaza.

Iran: Precarious Work Means Precarious Life
On April 26, 2025, a few days before International Workers’ Day, a massive explosion rocked Iran’s Rajaee Port, inflicting a yet-unknown number of deaths and injuries. Among the victims were day laborers from the Baluch ethnic minority, many of whom are systematically denied official identity papers by the Islamic Republic of Iran.
In this analysis, a Baluch feminist collective in Iran analyze the Rajaee Port disaster to show how economic and political pressure on ethnic minorities plays a fundamental role in capitalism all around the world.

Three days after tornados ravaged the Midwest, killing over two dozen people and inflicting over a billion dollars of damage on St. Louis, there is another tornado warning in the region tonight.
Ahead of another summer of climate disasters, this is a good time to build the relationships, resources, and mutual aid structures that will be vital in times of crisis.
This report from anarchists who organized a mutual aid hub after Hurricane Helene hit Appalachia details some of the ways you can prepare.

The analysis of this Baloch feminist collective in Iran helps explain the profit motive behind the state assault on immigrants everywhere around the globe.
https://crimethinc.com/Rajaee
"Precarity serves as a tool for disciplining and controlling labor, one that is becoming more intensely utilized by the day. Precarious laborers cannot protest; their names are not recorded anywhere, they are not identified, and as a result, they are more easily exploited and excluded."
"In the Global South, states have fundamentally served as instruments for capitalist development. Informal and precarious labor is not a peripheral phenomenon; it is at the very heart of global capital accumulation."
"What is called the center/periphery divide on the global scale persists within nation states as well. In Iran, the periphery takes the form of the Baloch, the Kurds, and the Arabs. This marginalization is the precondition for the existing order; it is what makes exploitation possible."
"Capitalist social relations do not just produce exploitation. They also divide and stratify the working class: man/woman, rural/urban, agricultural/industrial, formal/informal, permanent/precarious. Those who are subordinated in all of these categories stand at the epicenter of capital’s violence."

Once again, we’ve sold out of another printing of the Contradictionary, our Bestiary of Words in Revolt. In order to help fund the next printing, we are offering a few copies of our limited edition extra fancy printing of the book, the Unicorn Edition.
https://store.crimethinc.com/products/contradictionary-a-bestiary-of-words-in-revolt-unicorn-edition
Like a photonegative of the original, the Unicorn Edition features a white faux leather cover (yes, it's vegan). The title is stamped in holographic rainbow foil. While our stock holds out, we'll be including our “Act Like You Are Already Free” sticker on holographic vinyl, an homage to our friend David Graeber.
This is a way you can help us to fund all the other projects we are working on, should you so desire. We are an all-volunteer project without any outside funding. We make all of our work available for free or, where that is impossible, for break-even prices.

In the past 24 hours, Israeli forces have reportedly murdered at least 93 people in Gaza.
Israeli soldiers were caught on video shooting at foreign diplomats in the occupied West Bank.
Hundreds of thousands in Gaza are on the brink of starving to death.
Let's keep things in perspective.
