S. Darby walks us through the opening salvos of Trump's blitzkrieg to remind us exactly what the terrain of struggle for us will be, and more importantly what it should not be -
On the Trump Blitzkrieg

In the the first five weeks of Trump's second term, The New York Times ran six separate opinion pieces describing the experience as a "blitzkrieg."

The inaugural editorial and one article, "Class and Disaster in Valencia," are available on our website now.

The Case for Letting the World Burn

Like all years now, 2025 began with fire. There was of course the sequence of wildfires that struck southern California, the most destructive to date, and the most expensive natural disaster in United States history.

Announcung Heatwave, a multimedia project for a world on fire. As the world burns and the political horizon grows increasingly grim, we seek to connect comrades around the globe and contribute to building something powerful enough to incinerate this global prison we call capitalism. From its ashes, a new world is possible: one based on the classic principle: "from each according to their ability, to each according to their need"—a dignified life on a thriving planet.

Issue 1 of Heatwave magazine, coming in June, will feature twelve pieces ranging from articles to book reviews, interviews, and even fiction. To receive print copies mailed to your door, you can subscribe to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HeatwaveMag

Alternatively, you will be able to order copies from AK Press or purchase from select book stores.

#BREAKING: An independent autopsy has found that forest defender Manuel 'Tortuguita' Terán was sitting down with their hands up when they were shot and killed by Georgia State Patrol during raids on #StopCopCity tree-sits on January 18.

Bolsonaro supporters in the plenary of the Federal Senate in Brasilia:

Though this will probably not succeed as a coup attempt—Bolsonaro is currently in Florida, far from Brasilia—it will function as a pressure tactic to convey that governance in Brazil will be very difficult without appeasing Bolsonaro's fascist supporters. Even if this effort backfires for them, it will reinforce the idea that the only political options today are to side with the centrists who defend capitalist democracy (Biden, Lula) or to permit fascists (and the oligarchs who lead them) from seizing power.

Both centrist neoliberals and far-right fascists benefit from suppressing the possibility of participatory transformative change.

January 8, the Brazilian January 6—Tracking the Rise of Fascism from the United States to Brazil

https://crimethinc.com/January8Brazil

On January 8, 2023, far-right supporters of defeated former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro stormed government buildings in Brasília, apparently in grotesque imitation of the debacle in which Donald Trump’s supporters did the same thing in Washington, DC on January 6, 2021. In the following report, our comrades in Brazil detail the trajectory leading up to these events and discuss the conundrums that opponents of fascism face in Brazil as a consequence.

In this footage, anarchists and anti-fascists mobilize in Belo Horizonte, #Brazil today against the threat of #fascism.

It is crucial that we do not rely on the state to protect us from fascism, but organize on a grassroots basis, building strength that cannot be taken from us by an election or coup.

Solidarity with everyone on the streets against Bolsonaro, especially those who do not think that the solution is to cede all agency and legitimacy to the institutions of the state.

"We need to foment popular revolt that includes all the disenfranchised sectors of society, everyone who is targeted by fascists, everyone who suffers under capitalism even when it is managed by a progressive government. We must not delegitimize insurrection when the state apparatus is in the hands of the center-left while the streets are in the hands of fascists and security forces. We must find ways to resist, rejecting the blackmail of those who claim that the most important thing is to maintain order, with their eternal moralism in defense of private property and state power."
