July 13 will make 6 years since Willem Van Spronsen sacrificed his life to take action against ICE. He was killed while attempting to disable the buses serving a private detention facility imprisoning immigrants.

He knew what the consequences would be.

From the vantage point of 2025, we can see that he correctly identified ICE as representing the forefront of both totalitarianism and ethnic cleansing.

Take a moment to read his final statement.

Making Sense of the PKK’s Self-Dissolution

https://crimethinc.com/Jasna2025

On May 12, 2025, the PKK announced its dissolution after more than four decades of armed struggle against the Turkish government. On July 11, PKK fighters participated in a ceremony signifying disarmament. What will this mean for Kurdish movements for liberation and for the Middle East in general?

"It is not just the fate of an armed group at stake, but of a political project that has redefined the parameters of struggle throughout the region."

“女性、生命、自由”反对战争
别“女人、生命、自由”我们了，刽子手！

《“女性、生命、自由”反对战争》（“Women, Life, Freedom” Against War) 是一封集体写作的公开信，作者为Roja，是一个独立的女性主义-国际主义小组，总部位于巴黎，成员来自伊朗、阿富汗（哈扎拉人）和库尔德地区。公开信写于以色列攻击伊朗的第三天（6月16日），原文系波斯语，发表于_Radiozamaneh_，英文版由_Crimethinc_翻译发表。自文章完成后，又发生许多重大事件，包括2025年6月21日星期六美国发动的直接袭击，以及停火协议达成后以色列对德黑兰的又一次轰炸。然而，这篇有力量的文字仍为我们提供了对美国和以色列政府重塑中东战略的重要分析，并在今天的法西斯军事化和无休止战争中，召唤一种多元的复调的历史记忆，从伊朗民众的视角提供了一种国际主义的想象。

Imigranci Zaprazszamy

https://crimethinc.com/stickers/imigranci-zaprazszamy

Granica to nie ściana — to system kontroli.
Nie choni ludzi, tylko rzuca ich przeciwko sobie.
Nie pielęgnuje wspólnoty, tylko budzi w nich niechęć.
Nie zatrzymuje drapieżników,
tylko wręcza im odznakę i broń.

Granica nie oddziela jednego świata, od drugiego.
Jest tylko jeden świat, a granica rozdziera go na strzępy.

What do you love to do most—so much so that you'd gladly give away the results, if only you could spend your life doing it?

What if other people, by doing what they love, could enable you to do what you want to do?

That's the dream at the heart of the gift economy. 💝🏴

Entender la autodisolución del PKK

¿Qué significa para Oriente Medio?

https://crimethinc.com/2025/07/13/entender-la-autodisolucion-del-pkk-que-significa-para-oriente-medio

El 12 de mayo de 2025, el PKK anunció su disolución tras más de cuatro décadas de lucha armada contra el Gobierno turco. Esto se produjo tras el llamamiento del líder encarcelado del PKK, Abdullah Öcalan, para que se disolviera la organización. El 11 de julio, los combatientes del PKK participaron en una ceremonia que simbolizaba el desarme. ¿Qué significará esto para los movimientos kurdos de liberación y para Oriente Medio en general?

At the beginning of Donald Trump's second term, centrists were arguing that Democrats should adopt far-right positions on immigration.

It's hard to imagine a more despicable, wrongheaded, and self-defeating strategy than chasing popularity by embracing the policies of actual fascists.

First—because it's wrong. Regardless of how many people endorse ethnic cleansing, we still have a responsibility to fight it. Seeking a middle ground between freedom and fascism only helps fascists to normalize their hateful ambitions.

Second—because ICE is the weapon they intend to use to consolidate totalitarian power. If they succeed, that weapon will eventually be used against centrists as well as immigrants and other targeted demographics.

Third—because as the human costs of Trump's anti-immigrant policies become clear, this will discredit those who supported or compromised with those policies. This has already happened to centrists over their complicity in the genocide in Gaza. As public opinion belatedly turns against Trump's immigration policies, it should also turn against centrists.

Finally—because public opinion doesn't emerge in a vacuum. We shape it via the things we say and do. We shouldn't pander to what is worst in people, but stand up for what is best in all of us.

The Republicans can't let go of the Epstein conspiracy because they themselves are implicated in the horrific mass child abuse carried out by ICE. They desperately need to be able to tell themselves that others are the ones who abuse children.

Conspiracy theories are a distraction from the horrors everyone already knows for certain.

Живот без господари

Ако си харесвал да ходиш на училище, ще обичаш да ходиш и на работа. Мъчителната и безсмислена злоупотреба с властта, чрез която учители и директори са се разпореждали и са властвали над теб, както и заплахите и подигравките на съучениците ти, нe приключват със завършване на училището. Всички тези неща присъстват в света на възрастните. Ако си мислил, че преди ти е липсвала свобода, тогава само почакай да видиш как ще е, когато трябва да отговаряш пред началници, работодатели, бирници, хазяи, общинския съвет, съдилищата, полицията. Когато приключиш с училището, ти може да се отскубваш от властта на някои авторитети, но тогава попадаш под контрола на други, дори по-деспотични власти.

ТЪНКАТА СИНЯ ЛИНИЯ Е НАЖЕЖАЕМА ЖИЧКА

Защо всяка борба днес е и борба срещу полицията

"Напук на разпалването на широко разпространено обществено недоволство и дори с цената на грабежи и палежи, правовата система винаги ще защити полицейските служители от последствията за техните действия — защото без тях, самата тя нямаше да съществува."
