From February 25 to March 1, the Twin Cities hosted hundreds of people who traveled to Minnesota to take part in the Melt the ICE week of action.
You can read a full reportback on the week of action here:
https://crimethinc.com/weekofaction2026
Several events took place daily—including marches, blockades, noise demos, speaking events, and trainings. These actions and workshops served to bolster the resistance to the ICE occupation in Minnesota and to teach activists from all over the country how to export the Twin Cities’ rapid response model to their hometowns.
The fight against ICE continues.

The desire for a politician who would “run the country like a business”—which is to say, like a dictatorship—has always been an autocratic fantasy.
Now Trump aims to run the whole world "like a business"—dictatorial control, endless expansion, ceaseless extraction and profiteering.
The problem is capitalism itself—a social order that systematically rewards the pursuit of profit at all costs, concentrating power in fewer and fewer hands and cultivating selfishness and rapacity as if they were civic virtues.
The Trump presidency is the logical conclusion.

Lebanon: “History Is Repeating Itself”
https://crimethinc.com/Lebanon2026
The war that the US and Israel are waging in the Middle East is not solely directed at Iran.
Israeli airstrikes are pummeling Lebanon, driving at least 800,000 people from their homes.
To understand the consequences for people in Lebanon, we reached out to Elia Ayoub, who has previously reported to us from within Lebanese social movements.

"Don’t Let Them Throw Your Life Away" Poster: Iran Edition
https://crimethinc.com/iranposter
Donald Trump pretended to represent an alternative to the warmongering politicians that preceded in him power. Yet all we have to do to update our old anti-war poster for 2026 is to change a single letter.
Twenty years ago, the Bush administration pretended that they were delivering “democracy” to Iraq. By contrast, Trump's militarists promote depraved violence as an end in itself, explicitly declaring that their wars have no purpose other than to kill people and pillage resources.
Should you kill or die to gratify the egos of such men? No. No one should.
Please print these posters out and paste them up everywhere.

Grim news from Texas.
Absurdly, a jury has decided to convict all of the defendants in the Prairieland case on most of the charges—including, to name one example, "Corruptly Concealing a Document" for moving a box of zines.
The jury's verdict:
https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/verdict-prairieland-alvarado-ice-facility-federal-trial/
Background on the case:
https://crimethinc.com/Prairieland
This verdict is a reminder not to count on the courts to stop the rise of fascism.
This case is intended to set a precedent enabling the government to suppress resistance of all kinds. Yet this outcome must not discourage us from fighting as hard as we can against them.
On the contrary, it should drive home the stakes of the fight.

anarhistički poziv
https://crimethinc.com/tce/srpskohrvatski
Kada bi mogla da promeniš bilo šta, šta bi promenila? Da li bi otišla na doživotni odmor? Učinila da fosilna goriva prestanu da izazivaju klimatske promene? Zatražila savesne banke i političare? Svakako, ništa nije manje realistično nego nastaviti po starom i očekivati drugačije rezultate.
Naše finansijske i emotivne borbe predstavljaju odraz globalnog previranja i katastrofe. Mogli bismo da ostatak života provedemo u pokušajima da te požare ugasimo jedan po jedan, ali oni izbijaju iz istog izvora. Nikakvo postepeno rešenje neće poslužiti; neophodno je da sve promislimo u skladu sa drugačijom logikom.
Da bi promenila bilo šta, počni od svega.

Today marks 155 years since the uprising that established the Paris Commune.
Before May Day became the international day to celebrate labor struggles, workers and other rebels observed March 18, the anniversary of the beginning of the Paris Commune in 1871.
https://crimethinc.com/arch18
For example, on March 18, 1877, the young Peter Kropotkin joined anarchists from all around Switzerland for a march in Bern. Kropotkin is largely remembered as a peaceable advocate of science and mutual aid, but he and his friends brought flagpoles, brass knuckles, and other weapons to defend themselves. After a lengthy street confrontation, they managed to rescue their red flag from police who tried to seize it, and proceeded to a 2000-strong meeting at which they recited speeches, sang revolutionary songs, and read out telegrams of encouragement from France and Spain.
