[**Listen here.**](https://crimethinc.com/podcast/hotwire-16) Our final episode for the season! But we’ll be back in February. This week, antifascist students were active with a #StopSpencer week of action at the [University of Michigan](https://itsgoingdown.org/audio-report-stopspencer-actions-university-michigan/) and shutting down Lucian Wintrich at the [University of Connecticut](https://itsgoingdown.org/uconn-shuts-down-alt-lite-troll-lucian-wintrich-and-unite-the-right-proud-boy/). [Racist remarks](https://thinkprogress.org/trump-inauguration-trial-barry-farm-police-violence-5f1875e13ace/) keep coming up [during police testimony](https://www.unicornriot.ninja/2017/police-commander-behind-j20-arrests-joked-holocaust-lgbts/) at the [#J20 trials](https://itsgoingdown.org/drop-j20-podcast-update-3-police-take-stand/). We have updates on the massive, [sweeping raids](https://enoughisenough14.org/2017/12/05/nog20-cops-raided-more-than-20-buildings-across-germany-today/) against anti-capitalists in Germany over the [successful protests against the G20](https://crimethinc.com/podcast/57) in Germany in July. New York City Anarchist Black Cross call for international [New Year’s Eve noise demonstrations](https://nycabc.wordpress.com/2017/12/04/call_nye_2k17/) outside prisons, jails, and detention centers. Finally, we get mushy and grateful for the past [year of resistance](https://itsgoingdown.org/chorus-versus-14-months-rebellion-united-states/).
