"They Can't Beat All of Us"
A Report Back from the #FloridaAbolitionistGathering

#CrimethInc, March 15, 2025

"From February 28 to March 2, hundreds of #abolitionists and #anarchists from across the country converged in Gainesville for the first Florida Abolitionist Gathering (#FAG). Across a passionate weekend of #workshops, films, food, #debate, #ritual, and #protest, the contours of a robust regional #resistance movement came into focus.

"The #intergenerational, heavily #queer and #trans, and strongly multi-issue and anarchist group of abolitionists that converged in Florida articulated an expansive vision of #liberation anchored in the urgent need to dismantle the #PrisonIndustrial complex in all its manifestations. The gathering showed that even as liberals wring their hands about the death of democracy, scrappy groups of organizers continue to fight back—and sometimes win—deep within the belly of the beast."

We need more of this. Everywhere they go, they need to be booed and hissed at. They should never have a moment of peace, comfort, or joy. They need to know we hate them. They should always be nervous about who is around them.

"What’s happening in this country to our veterans is not right."

A crowd of nearly 3,000 gathered Friday on the National Mall for a veterans' rally to protest cuts by President Donald Trump to veterans' federal jobs, services and benefits. Reject the fascist republican criminals.

Let me tell you: all Vets vote #Democratic no excuses, you have the marching order, #Dems in every race.

"I have lived as an ME/CFS 'spoonie' for the past 20 years after I got a virus and never recovered. I’ve spent much of the past 10 years of my career advocating for ME/CFS research at the NIH"

"I don’t want to see the same scientific harms that have happened in the ME community become even more widespread across all of science"

People (some) are praising the strength of the courts but are failing to comment on the fact that Trump & Musk are ignoring court orders w/o consequences. It's like telling your teen he/she can't use their phone while allowing them to keep it & trusting them to abide by your restrictions. It doesn't work.

The courts aren't "holding" as some are saying. They may be making rulings against Trump, but they mean nothing & in the not too distant future, we will see judges arrested.
