The Students Walk Out in #LosAngeles
A Report from the Streets

#CrimethInc, 2025-02-13

"In the opening weeks of Donald #Trump’s second presidency, some of the fiercest expressions of defiance have come from the communities that Trump is threatening to attack. In Los Angeles, students have engaged in weeks of walkouts and other protests against the mass deportations Trump promised. In #Cincinnati, the historically Black community #LincolnHeights responded to a #NeoNazi rally by chasing off the #WhiteSupremacists, burning their #swastika flags, and conducting an armed watch lest they attempt to return.

"Both of these communities draw on deep roots of resistance. The students in Los Angeles are walking out in the footsteps of previous student rebels, including those who participated in the historic protests of 2006 against the repression of the undocumented. People in Cincinnati rose in rebellion in 2001 against police violence, foreshadowing the movement that got underway in response to the murder of Oscar Grant in 2008 and arrived on the world stage in 2014 with the uprising in #Ferguson. In continuing these legacies, today’s protesters show how difficult it will be for Donald Trump, #ElonMusk, and other #racist #billionaires to control the population of this continent. They also point the way for others who are still trying to figure out how to defend themselves against the new regime.

Reports from the Festivals of Resistance / Day of the Forest Defender

#Crimethinc, 2025-01-20

"January 18 is the Day of the Forest Defender, honoring the life of Manuel '#Tortuguita' Terán, who was murdered by Georgia State Troopers two years ago while protesting the construction of Cop City in Atlanta, and everyone else who has given their lives in the fight against those who would render the earth uninhabitable in the course of their pursuit of profit. This year, a call circulated for people to organize festivals of resistance in their communities on the weekend of January 17-19. Here, we share reports from some of these events.

"The situation is grim. Despite acknowledging that Trump represents #fascism, Democrats have nonetheless welcomed the arrival of #despotism, dutifully voting for new legislation targeting immigrants and doing their best to keep protesters out of the streets. #TechCEOs have followed suit, pouring millions of dollars into his inauguration and crowding into St. John’s Church to worship at the feet of their new master.

"#ElonMusk made the #Nazi salute twice from the podium during the inauguration, leaving only just enough plausible deniability to confuse the most naïve. Musk has posted fascist dog whistles on Twitter before, even before he purchased it in order to reintroduce Nazis to the platform, ban anarchists, and promote the fascist agenda.

"From this point forward, nothing should surprise us. The incoming government has made it clear that they intend to inflict as much harm as possible on those who are vulnerable while concentrating as much money as possible in the hands of the ultra-rich. These are the central points of their agenda. Attempting to spread information about their misdeeds in order to provoke popular outrage is a waste of time. From here out, all that matters is developing the capacity to defend each other from their attacks while preparing to go on the offensive as soon as the opportunity presents itself.

"The faces of the #oligarchy looked craven and servile as they lined up at the inauguration to toady to Trump. #Capitalism concentrates power in the hands of the most rapacious, but they can only hold on to power by being completely subservient to its demands.

"Fortunately, not everyone is taking this sitting down. #Anarchists around the country called for 'festivals of resistance' the weekend before the inauguration in order to bring communities together prepare to resist. Here follow reports from a few of these. You can read the original call to organize festivals of resistance here, along with a list of dozens of events around the country."

"Dieses System tötet uns. Jeden Tag. Ob in Kriegen, an der Grenze, auf den kalten Straßen, in einsamen Zimmern ohne Perspektiven. Am Anfang war nicht der Pflasterstein, sondern die Wut und Trauer, die uns dazu bewegten, diesen zu werfen. Wir wollen ein Ende der Gewalt, deswegen sind wir, unter anderem, Anarchist*innen."
