𝐃𝐞𝐧𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐚 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭. But resistance is mounting.
An hour west of Copenhagen, in Knabstrup, the collective #Skovmagt are engaged in #DirectAction to protect the few forests that still remain in the country, most of which are subject to the capitalist logics of industrial logging production. The Orekrog forest is no exception, but now, on top of that, the forest is expected to be covered in cement.
The Skovmagt collective have built beautiful wooden structures up in the trees, from which they hope to resist the advance of Denmark's largest motorway project, connecting #Copenhagen to Kalundborg. The motorway is supported by Maersk: well-known supplier of the ongoing genocide in #Palestine - which hopes to use the Kalundborg port for faster shipping.

Labour yesterday telling us they are Progressive, the very next day they do this....
Labour aren't going to win against Reform, they're too busy fighting themselves and the Voters.
For two years the UKGOV sat on their hands over the genocide in Gaza, now we get some performative announcement on Statehood, but the murders still go on, as do the RAF flights.

What's happening right now with the request from Kristi Noem according to Donald Trump to use full force on protesters demonstrating in front of ICE facilities only goes to show how very real the state's insatiable need for blood is.
The state drops its need for war, like a dead mouse on every country's doorstep, even our own, in order to satiate this thirst. This is America, this is what our country has always been. As disgusting as what's happening now is, it is not new.
We sit weeks, days, hours, if not moments away from watching our allies being slaughtered in our own towns by the very forces "intended" to keep them safe from horrors like this. This is not a drill and it is not hyperbole. The rhetoric has been tested, the laws are being preemptively written to criminalize dissent, and the paramilitary forces are being ideologically vetted for their willingness to pull the trigger on their fellow citizens. The call for "full force" is a deliberate and calculated signal, a green light for the kind of violence we have seen deployed against Black and brown communities for generations to now be officially sanctioned against anyone who stands in the way of the state's agenda.
This moment demands that we look directly at the machinery of repression and understand its components. It is the police in tactical gear, but it is also the legislators writing the "anti-riot" laws that equate to crushing resistance with claims of terrorism. It is the governor calling for violence, but it is also the media apparatus that will frame any resistance as unprovoked aggression. It is the orange goblin king baying for blood, but it is also the silent complicity of a political class that has already conceded to fascism for a taste of power. They are not hiding their intentions anymore. They are telling us, in plain language, that they view our assemblies, our solidarity, our cries for justice as existential threats to be crushed without mercy.
This is why our old models of resistance are insufficient. Marching with permits, appealing to the conscience of politicians who have none, relying on the very systems designed to pacify us these are luxuries from a bygone era that is crumbling before our eyes. The state has declared its hand. It does not seek to manage us it seeks to eliminate us. The labels they use, like "domestic terrorist," are not descriptions they are death warrants. They are intended to isolate, to criminalize, and to justify the coming violence in the eyes of a populace conditioned to fear the word "terrorist" more than they fear the death of their neighbors.
Therefore, our only logical and moral response must be the rapid, deliberate, and organized construction of networks of mutual defense. This is not a call for reckless violence it is a call for profound, community based solidarity. It is a recognition that when the state vows to use full force, our survival depends on our ability to have each other's backs without question or hesitation. Anarchists, socialists, abolitionists, community organizers, medics, legal observers, and every person who sees the nightmare on the horizon must now begin the serious work of forming pacts of protection.
These pacts are not abstract. They are built on concrete actions. They mean establishing clear and secure communication channels now, before the phones are shut down or the networks are monitored. They mean training together in de-escalation, first aid, and legal rights, so that when a protest is kettled or raided, we have medics who can treat gunshot wounds and legal teams who can track the arrested. They mean creating rapid response networks that can alert entire cities when a demonstration is under attack, mobilizing observers and support at a moment's notice. They mean setting up community defense patrols that can monitor police movements and protect vulnerable neighborhoods from targeted incursions.
Crucially, this extends to material support. It means building community bail funds that are robust and readily accessible, so no one sits in a cage because they cannot pay for their freedom. It means creating safe houses and escape routes for those who are targeted for arrest or worse. It means sharing resources, from food and water to protective gear, ensuring that no one is left exposed because of poverty. This is the practical meaning of solidarity it is the commitment to ensure that the risks we take are shared and the burdens we carry are collective.
The goal of this mutual defense is not to win a street battle with the police. The goal is to make their intended violence as difficult, costly, and visible as possible. The goal is to ensure that when they move against one of us, they find a hundred of us, standing together, documenting, resisting, and refusing to be scattered. It is to transform their easy targets into unbreakable formations of community resilience. We must make their bloodlust so public, so messy, and so morally repugnant that it shatters the illusion of their authority.
History has shown us that the state's appetite for violence is only checked when it meets organized, unyielding resistance. They rely on our fear, our isolation, our disorganization. Our task is to weaponize our solidarity. Let the calls for "full force" from the Kristi Noems and Donald Trumps of the world serve as our final wake up call. The time for vague solidarity is over. The time for specific, actionable, and sworn pacts of mutual defense is now. Find your people. Make your plans. Swear your oaths. Let them know that if they come for one, they come for us all, and we will not make it easy for them. Our communities are not their hunting grounds. We will become ungovernable not through chaos, but through an ironclad commitment to protecting one another from the storm they are so desperate to unleash.
