January 2026 saw some of the most significant developments in the recent history of the American class struggle. The ICE murder of Renee Good set off an explosive anti-ICE movement, culminating in a de facto political general strike. The subsequent murder of Alex Pretti threatened to spread the movement nationally, forcing Trump to back off, at least temporarily. What conclusions can we draw from this experience?

Interesting comments about FRSO. Can you say more? I’ve seen at least their members wearing their gear and handing out signs at every one of the large protests and it looks they were present during the few actions inside of Targets as well. Have they been pushing back behind the scenes but folding and participating when things don’t go their way?

And if you look at FRSO TC’s page, there’s no mention whatsoever of the strike, the protest, anything related to Friday’s action.
I was aware of MIRAC, but I didn’t know they were directly tied to FRSO. Other than PSL, I didn’t see any official announcements go out about the strike. Definitely weird they’d bow out just based on that instead of communicating when they were definitely at the one the Friday before.
