At the Turning of the Tide: How to Fight Our Way out of the Trump Era

In this analysis, we revisit the structural forces behind Trump’s return to power, review the events of 2025, and propose a strategy for how to fight our way out of the Trump era together.

On January 10, participants in a march in Oakland smashed 47 windows at the federal building and covered it with spray paint as a way to identify it as a base of local ICE operations.

While ICE is focused on the Twin Cities, actions elsewhere can spread their attention thin and inspire resistance.

Last year, centrists were arguing that Democrats should adopt extreme-right anti-immigrant positions to keep up with what they claimed was the tide of public opinion.

Now nearly half of the population agrees that ICE should be outright abolished.

ICE has only existed since March 2003, by the way.

January 18 will mark three years since Georgia State Patrolmen murdered Manuel Teran, known to fellow forest defenders as Tortuguita, in Weelaunee Forest.

People around the world will observe the Day of the Forest Defender with events.

Some of those are listed here:

Don't believe that every word out of the mouths of the federal mercenaries is a lie?

Here is “Commander at Large” Gregory Bovino, dressed as a Gestapo officer, shamelessly declaring that ICE is "ethical and moral" and even "peaceful" days after his men senselessly murdered a soccer mom.

Scum.

Following the vandalism of at least 11 government vehicles or rentals driven by federal law enforcement at a hotel in Eagan, Minnesota last night, it's safe to say—you don't want to stay at a hotel that hosts ICE, or even park your vehicle there. You don't want to host them at your hotel, either.

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.

Why?

When police accuse protesters of being "professional agitators," remember—

Police are unscrupulous mercenaries who assault anyone they are ordered to in return for a paycheck.

Protesters who stand up to police are doing so for free, at tremendous risk to themselves, as a service to the public.
St. Paul police brutally assault locals defending their neighbors from ICE, then absurdly accuse the locals of being "professional agitators."

"We are not your adversary. We are your police."

They support ICE with violence, just as they murder with impunity. They are, in fact, our adversaries.

Rapid response networks have evolved swiftly over the past few months. Besieged by 3000 federal mercenaries, volunteers in the Twin Cities have updated their rapid response model, developing a dynamic and resilient system.

This report explores how you can learn from their model to build your own.

Trump is threatening to use the Insurrection Act to put troops on the streets of the Twin Cities, where federal mercenaries continue to terrorize, kidnap, and shoot civilians.

He is threatening to do this because ICE lost last night.

We've reached the year 1859.

On January 14, after ICE carried out yet another shooting in Minneapolis, a crowd chased them out of the neighborhood and gained control of their vehicles.

In this firsthand account, an anonymous participant describes what took place.

Our hearts go out to everyone in the Twin Cities who is enduring this militarized, murderous occupation.

Thank you so much for the courage you are showing, for the example you are providing, for the precedents you are setting.

Thanks to you, there is hope yet for all of us, for our future.

🖤🔥🖤
I can’t imagine what Minneapolis is going through right now, and I hope they collectively have some kind of civic PTSD therapy when all this is over, but they have absolutely risen to the occasion. These amazing, courageous people are showing the rest of us how to do it when it’s our turn.

Regarding the claims of federal mercenaries about the shooting in Minneapolis tonight:

It is safe to assume that every single thing that anyone associated with ICE or the Trump administration says is an outright lie.

Lying is their policy.

They lie even when video footage contradicts them.
Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person.

Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured.

BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.

After ICE agents shot people in Minneapolis tonight, a crowd faced them down and eventually chased them away, despite federal mercenaries and police shooting a tremendous amount of tear gas.

ICE agents abandoned vehicles in the area, containing IDs, paperwork, license plates, and operational plans.
January 15, 2026 at 5:11 AM
News is circulating that ICE agents just shot two more people in the Twin Cities.

Do you want to live in a country in which fascist mercenaries go around shooting people at random?

If the answer is "No," you may have to shift your priorities to focus more energy on organizing and fighting back.
There is a live video at the site of the federal agent shooting currently by Yesenia Farias: www.facebook.com/yesenia.fari...
An ambulance with North Memorial markings left the site in the last few minutes.

Will US and Israeli intervention support the protest movement in Iran?

Recall the deadliest attack of the 12-day war, when Israel bombed Evin Prison—in which the Iranian regime keeps its political prisoners—slaughtering political prisoners and family members visiting them.

crimethinc.com/Iran2026
I strongly support the Iranian protesters. I've hoped for years that the Iranian people would overthrow the ruling elites. But I believe that is a matter for Iranians. I don't support foreign interference from either the US or Israel. Leave Iran alone!

ICE agents are making a habit of shooting tear gas at demonstrators who object to their kidnapping and murdering.

Please consult this thread regarding how you can safely, swiftly extinguish tear gas canisters.

crimethinc.com/RiotMunitions
You can extinguish tear gas canisters!

Wearing gloves, submerge the canister in a wide-mouthed water jug containing baking soda, dish soap, and/or vegetable oil—3 tablespoons of each per liter of water.

Cover the top with one hand, just enough to keep the gas from getting out, and shake the jug.

What's more powerful than their guns?

This.
Happening Now: Hundreds of protesters are holding a noise demo outside of the Graduate by Hilton Hotel in Minneapolis where ICE agents are reportedly staying. Drums, guitars, pots and pans are in-tune to "fuck ICE" and "ICE out" chants. Riot police are currently in the lobby.

Democrats focusing on the 2026 elections must recognize that what happens in Minneapolis this month will determine whether those even matter.

If ICE can murder anyone without consequences, Trump will conclude that elections can take place—or not—at his discretion.

By concentrating their forces on the Twin Cities, ICE is attempting to break the spirit of the whole country, erase the legacy of the George Floyd uprising, and set a precedent that they can repeat everywhere.

But if ICE can converge, so can everyone else. All out to the Twin Cities to resist them.

JD Vance, speaking about the actions of the woman who was murdered by ICE agent Jonathan Ross for trying to drive away:

"This is classic terrorism."

They will murder you—and lie about you even when everyone can see what happened.

They will call you a terrorist even if you comply.

So why comply?
Content warning.

This video shows clearly that the 37-year-old woman that ICE agents murdered in Minneapolis today was not posing a threat to them.

Even the mayor of Minneapolis says "To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis."

We must force ICE out of every city. They are kidnappers and murderers.

We've reprinted Expect Resistance, a visionary treatise from 2007.

It's comprised of two books—a novel allegorically exploring a generational cycle of resistance, repression, and resilience, and an accompanying work of anarchist theory. Together, they comprise a third book.
