[**Listen here.**](https://crimethinc.com/podcast/hotwire-43) No news is good news. 60% of wildlife has been [wiped off the planet](https://www.independent.co.uk/environment/wildlife-nature-decline-extinct-paris-climate-agreement-wwf-elephants-rhinos-polar-bears-a8607341.html) since 1970. Mexican police [kill a man](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/10/honduran-killed-mexican-border-crackdown-migrant-caravan-181029130957107.html) in the migrant caravan on the border with Guatemala. Ever since Trump openly [declared himself](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2018/10/24/trump-says-hes-nationalist-what-means-why-its-controversial/1748521002/) a [nationalist](https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/emma-goldman-patriotism-a-menace-to-liberty) last week, there has been an [escalation of far-right violence](https://www.salon.com/2018/10/29/darkness-falls-in-america-after-a-week-of-horror-trump-refuses-to-admit-any-responsibility). We interview an anarchist who works at the Tree of Life synagogue where an [anti-Semite massacred 11 people on Saturday](https://itsgoingdown.org/igd-pittsburgh-thousands-confront-trump-fascism/), as well as two people in the Outlive Them network about the upcoming [International Days of Action against Fascism and Anti-Semitism](https://outlivethem.wordpress.com/). We also draw connections between the election of [Bolsonaro](https://freedomnews.org.uk/the-claws-of-empire-the-rise-of-fascism-brazilian-anarchist-statement-on-bolsonaro/) in Brazil and anarchist [resistance to Trump](https://sub.media/video/trouble-16-conspiracy-to-riot/) and [democracy itself](https://crimethinc.com/2018/10/29/brazil-the-alternative-to-fascism-is-not-democracy-from-democracy-to-freedom-in-portuguese-greek-and-german) in the United States.
