"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.

米国とイスラエルが中東で繰り広げている戦争は、イラン（拙訳）だけに向けられているわけではない。イスラエル軍は、パレスチナ全土・ゴラン高原などシリアの一部を占領するだけでなく、現在はレバノンの一部も占領しつつある。イスラエルの空爆が上空からレバノンに絶え間なく降り注いでいる。3月に入ってから少なくとも80万人がレバノンの自宅から避難を余儀なくされている。事態を放っておけば、イスラエル政府はレバノンを居住不可能な廃墟に変えてしまうだろう――ガザに対してそうしてきたように。

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.

Iran between Repression, Co-optation, and War: Three Waves of Counterrevolution
https://crimethinc.com/IranianCounterrevolution
Somayeh Rostampour shows how the repression that the Iranian government has carried out to crush protests, the monarchist attempt to co-opt opposition movements and push them to the right, and the military assault that the US and Israel are currently carrying out against Iran are all different fronts within a single counterrevolution, reinforcing each other and combining to suppress the possibility of real liberation.

23 years ago today, the US attacked Iraq.
Just as the "War on Drugs" did not abolish the drug trade, the "War on Terror" only gave rise to more terror. But perhaps the point was to destabilize the region, ensuring the US would always have enemies to justify its imperial interventions.
Authoritarian regimes must create enemies that make them look good by comparison. In 2006, we speculated that the Bush administration was intentionally pursuing policies that fostered fundamentalist terrorism—a more convenient adversary than movements for liberation.

Today, desperately seeking to create enough turbulence to keep itself aloft, the Trump administration has returned to the strategy of intentionally destabilizing the Middle East.
But the US was an unrivaled power in 2003—whereas now, it is a waning empire.
The outcome may surprise everyone.

Robert Mueller has died.
During the first Trump administration, the Mueller investigation represented the centrist fantasy that the so-called Justice Department could halt the slide into fascism.
In fact, the anticipated reckoning, dubbed "Mueller Time," never arrived.
It really is up to us.
https://crimethinc.com/muellertime
"Mueller Time is the political suspended animation in which the Democrats wait for a repeatedly deferred deus ex machina to deliver them from this unbearable pres(id)ent. This waiting, itself, rather than any of the grievous injustices that have taken place during it, is the essence of hell.
"Mueller Time is a way of inhabiting the eternally renewed amnesia that is America. This is the real 'deep state'—the part of each Democrat’s heart that will accept any amount of senseless violence and murder and oppression, provided it adheres to the letter of the law."

Having channeled billions of dollars to ICE in order to establish his own personal gestapo, Donald Trump is now threatening to deploy ICE to airports.
This is a good time to recall how we shut down airports around the country in 2017 in protest of his Muslim ban.
