who the fuck is celebrating this mess?

Patriotism is for fools, in case you didn’t know.

Asking how people can partake in joyful acts during a period of immense suffering leads me to believe this is your first time at the suffering rodeo.

Furiously raking my little zen garden.

This is where the money from @benwrex.bsky.social sales of his "zine" stickers is going! Go over to his page and get you some, why not?

Amtrak keeps sexting me, daring me to hop on a train.

Jacobo Fijman, where've you been all my life?

Oof, here we go: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

The sentences doled out in the Prairieland case today are horrific. Des was sentenced to 30 years in prison for moving a box of zines. There is no pretense of "justice" here. The judge said, “the state wants to send a message to anyone who shares a similar ideology.” crimethinc.com/prairieland

The ideology in question is opposing fascism. This horrific action is a shot across the bow at all of us—everyone who cares about their neighbors, who dares to dream of a better world, who opposes ICE terror and authoritarian repression. We cannot allow the state to disappear them.

I love research so much because I’m nosy af and I want to know, I want to know, I want to know, I want to know, I want to know, I want to know, etc.
