How the Pentagon is Quietly Building Trump’s Concentration Camps SCOOP: A repurposed Navy contract is funneling tens of billions into a "ghost network" of detention camps that can materialize anywhere in America overnight.

175 billion for ICE and detention centers in the GOP's billionaire bill.

This is what they're doing with the money. Building concentration camps.

And it's not going to be used for immigrants only.

Crowd Control: Appeasement, Vanguardism, and the General Strike

Participants in the resistance to ICE operations in the Twin Cities reflect on the lessons of the strikes of January 23 and January 30, looking for ways to expand and strengthen the movement.

Yes, that was nuts! And why are all those parks in a bowl? We were sitting ducks.

Your recounting of 2020 sent me back to demonstrations held by brave Black youth in Elkton and Broadway, VA, where they were surrounded on all sides by heavily armed militias. A few of us were there standing between them, and they were convinced we were all Antifa outside agitators.

The thing is once you have massive participation ICE defense decentralized response networks on a block by block basis those groups could do eviction defense in much the same way...

The Second Amendment Was Never Meant for Everyone The killing of Alex Pretti, a licensed gun owner, in Minneapolis is waking white Americans up to the reality that rights are conditional.

"...[G]uns are not a universal right, but an instrument of upholding the racial order....Pretti’s killing is a bitter reminder that, in the eyes of the state, some people will never be allowed to be the good guy with a gun."

Walz comparing the ICE raids to the Holocaust makes him going on that podcast and saying he hopes Tom Homan works with local law enforcement and does night raids so much more fucking horrifying, he's describing his desire for a quiet and orderly night Holocaust

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

The police also kill with impunity on a weekly basis. ICE is benefiting from what’s already an established state violence norm in the USA.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

One day will be the last that they commit an execution in the streets and we can and must bring that day closer however we can

The point of building a list of all active dissidents is to be able to then go door-to-door abducting or murdering them. Since the list is quite long and they could not accomplish the whole extermination in a day, the goal becomes to terrorize those who are not yet gotten into hiding.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

From Rapid Response to Revolutionary Social Change Participants in the rapid response networks in the Twin Cities describe their experiences and reflect on how these neworks could contribute to revolutionary social change.

From Rapid Response to Revolutionary Social Change

Participants in the rapid response networks in the Twin Cities describe their experiences, discuss the development of ICE into a dangerous political police, and explore how these networks could contribute to revolutionary social change.

Renee Good's Murder and Other Acts of Terror An interview with Robin D. G. Kelley on how to think about ICE—and the broader history of police violence.

“Militant civil disobedience, aggressively confronting a phalanx of masked agents in riot gear, or blocking traffic is nonviolent, but these tactics are not considered by the political class to count as ‘peaceful protest.’”

Historian Robin D. G. Kelley on how to think about ICE:

Being “Peaceful” and “Law-Abiding” Will Not Stop Authoritarianism Anarchists from Germany explore how events in German history should inform those who are resisting the consolidation of authoritarian power in the US today.

Capitalism’s 'green transition' is dead-was it ever truly alive? - Freedom News Capitalists are much, much better at lying than at solving problems related to their own greed ~ Rob Ray ~ A couple of years ago I attended a talk …

The "predictions that capitalism would be unable even to maintain its existing lacklustre efforts towards reducing carbon emissions are worth returning to. Because that feverish anarchist, ranting about capitalism’s follies, was pretty much spot on."

americans, please: do not take the bait by resisting ICE yourselves. just give the democrats $20. they will give it to ICE so they can train more guys

Rapid Response Networks in the Twin Cities The rapid response networks people organized to defend their communities against federal agents seeking to kidnap, brutalize, and terrorize them have undergone a whirlwind evolution to keep up with...

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.

North Minneapolis Chases Out ICE After ICE carried out yet another shooting in Minneapolis, a crowd chased them away and gained control of their vehicles. A firsthand account.

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.

"ICE just needs more training" is the Democrats preparing in advance to put more immigrants into concentration camps when they take power

Iran: An Uprising Besieged from Within and Without Three perspectives on the uprising that began in Iran on December 29, 2025, and the forces that threaten it from within and without.

The autocratic US government and the genocidal Israeli regime do not want the Iranian people to have freedom any more than they want Palestinians to be free.

Recall how Israel bombed Syria *after* the toppling of Assad.

Solidarity with the people of Iran against all who aspire to oppress them.

A lot of people want the far-right reactionaries around them (conservative neighbors, family members, police, ICE, etc) to have a change of heart so bad. Even if that were likely, the space between that change and where they're at now is filled with a bloodlust that will get you and others killed.

We've removed the paywall from this guide so everyone can access it. 👇 Stay safe.

Too many people are trying to differentiate between ICE and police.

I will hold your hand as I say this:

Police in the US treat marginalized people the way ICE treats everyone. They're far more similar than you want to admit.

Defunding the police and abolishing ICE are the same fight.

Minneapolis Responds to ICE Committing Murder On January 7, 2026, an ICE agent murdered Renee Good. This is an account from a participant in the protests that broke out on scene of the murder.
