CrimethInc. Ex-Workers Collective

It has been seven months and one day since ICE mercenaries in Minnesota executed Alex Pretti in cold blood in furtherance of state terrorism.

We honor those who immediately took action in the streets to chase off the murderers and show—with their actions—that a tragedy had taken place.

It is naïve to expect justice from the court system. The only way to ensure that federal agents stop murdering people is to build the collective capacity to stop them.

No judge is going to do this. No Democratic politician is going to abolish ICE for us.

The state and the mercenaries who serve it are our enemies. Organize grassroots resistance.

We've added an additional perspective from participants in the response to the murder of Corey Ruiz in Madison, Wisconsin—exploring what it would take to make police think twice before committing murder.

What does it take to stop police terror?

In January 2026, Modern Times, a for-profit café in Minneapolis, changed their business model to offer food to everyone for free, running on donations alone as a way to support the community through the ICE occupation and cease paying sales tax to an authoritarian government.

We've produced a zine offering an analysis of the experiment. Print and share.

Right now, police are attempting to evict Kasa Invisivel, an occupied social center and housing collective in Belo Horizonte, Brazil that has served for many years as a hub for mutual aid.

To Attack or to Mourn?

Police in Madison, Wisconsin murdered Corey Ruiz on July 22, 2026. In response, protesters established a weeks-long occupation.

Here, participants recount their experiences in the streets, frame the murder of Ruiz in the context of the city's ongoing war on the houseless, and discuss what it would take to establish a movement capable of putting an end to police violence.

Today marks eight years since anarchists and students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill tore down the Confederate monument Silent Sam, defying a state law prohibiting the removal of racist statues.

Don't wait on the authorities to address injustice. Direct action works.

The toppling of monuments to slavery in Durham and Chapel Hill in 2017 and 2018 was, in part, a response to the fascist "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, during which a neo-Nazi murdered Heather Heyer.

Protesters in Durham and Chapel Hill demonstrated a tactic that spread widely during the George Floyd uprising of 2020, when people toppled scores of racist statues.

In January 2026, the owner of the Minneapolis café Modern Times announced that the café would suspend all prices and operate exclusively on donations, as a means of ceasing to supporting a community under siege and ceasing to pay sales tax to the government that was carrying out Operation Metro Surge.

We examine the successes and shortfalls of this experiment in building alternative economic power and counteracting informal forms of racial segregation.

As the movement against Flock cameras gathers momentum, we have reprinted a sticker attacking surveillance.

https://crimethinc.com/Surveillance2026

Flock is not the only surveillance company, and cameras are not the only form of surveillance. There are many other corporations waiting to fill the role that Flock cameras are playing, and many other means by which those who aim to dominate us seek to monitor and control our activities. It is good to compel local governments to cancel Flock contracts or directly disable Flock cameras, but the movement against Flock must become a movement against all of the interlocking structures of domination or it will only function as a pressure valve as those structures tighten their grip on our lives.

Put these up everywhere to identify the root of the problem.

In Lochiel, Arizona, a single ancient cottonwood tree stands in the way of the construction of Donald Trump's border wall. For two weeks, demonstrators have occupied the tree and defended it against construction crews and border patrol.

They invite you to act in solidarity with them, whether by traveling to join them or taking action where you are located. The border is everywhere—we can attack it everywhere.

It keeps getting hotter. Forest fires are spreading, people are dying in heat waves, but the millionaires and billionaires who control most of the wealth in our society keep digging us deeper into this disaster.

They are murdering the future. It's time to fight back.

The US Attorney’s Office in Minneapolis has charged fifteen people with “conspiracy to impede federal officers,” accusing them of defending their neighborhoods from ICE.

Working with anarchist artist NO BONZO, we've made a support poster to inform people about the case. Please print these out and post them everywhere!

Carta a Carlo Giuliani
En el 25 aniversario de la batalla de Génova

https://crimethinc.com/2026/07/20/carta-a-carlo-giuliani-en-el-25-aniversario-de-la-batalla-de-genova

El 20 de julio de 2001, durante el apogeo del movimiento contra la globalización capitalista, cientos de miles de personas se movilizaron en Génova, Italia, para oponerse a la cumbre del G8. Durante las manifestaciones masivas de esos dias, un oficial de policía llamado Mario Placanica disparó y mató a un manifestante de 23 años llamado Carlo Giuliani.

El siguiente texto fue escrito por Tomás Rothaus, un compañero participante en la batalla de Génova.

Raoul Vaneigem—Situationist, author, and lifelong aspiring revolutionary—has passed away at the age of 92.

"Anyone who talks about revolution and class struggle without referring explicitly to everyday life—without grasping what is subversive about love and positive in the refusal of constraints—has a corpse in his mouth."

"Let ten people meet who are resolved on the lightning of violence rather than the long agony of survival; from this moment, despair ends and tactics begin."

—The Revolution of Everyday Life
