We're excited to be (virtually) hosting Argentinian anarchist @batallonbakunin.bsky.social, author of the recently publish memoir "Another War Is Possible" ( @pmpress.bsky.social ) which takes us on a wild, bumpy, beautiful ride through a lifetime of resistance. In conversation w/ @crimethinc.com!

After taking a little break over the winter, we're back to scheduling virtual events with some amazing authors! Check 'em out and sign up for free at app.hi.events/events/2739/....

Made sure to drop into @firestorm.coop while we were in Asheville this weekend to show some love and support. Left with this and read it for a couple hours on the way home. Really enjoying it so far.

BOOK SALE INCOMING 💣 APRIL 15-18 Spring is a time for cleaning... Throwing open windows, clearing flower beds, overthrowing your government, making room for new books on the shelves at your local anarchist bookstore! 📚 1/3

Thrilled to return to one of my favorite towns tonight to discuss Lab Dog--Asheville! We'll have a great group tonight at @firestorm.coop, where I'll be in conversation with Plant's Jason Sellers. See you there! firestorm.coop/events/3576-... #booksky, #beagles, #animalresearch

Buried in Asheville city council's agenda for April 14 meeting is $1.1 million from the feds to massively ramp up APD surveillance of the public with a "real time intelligence center." At a time when even plenty of local governments are scaling back surveillance, #avlgov is escalating... 🧵 #avlnews

When we posted about our financial uncertainty on Saturday, we didn't imagine we'd be providing an update so soon. But over the last six days the response has been huge. Y'all placed over 350 web orders, which are keeping us BUSY (thank you for your patience!). 1/4

I'm going to be traveling soon for work and I'm so glad my order from @firestorm.coop came in. Excited to go on this intellectual trip guided by @chanda.blacksky.app If you have the means to pick up one of her books, consider doing it through Firestorm because they could use the support too.

Meet the author... and rescued beagles! This Saturday 🐕

Tonight with @bunk.computer 🤓

The US is an incomparable threat to the future of the planet. This empire cannot stand and continue to freely destroy populations, countries, and societies as it pleases.

“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.

🔔 Join us for a webinar on the dangerous precedent set by the Prairieland “antifa” convictions in TX and Trump’s war on the First Amendment. W/ @rightsdissent.bsky.social, @chipgibbons.bsky.social and @dfwsupportcommitt.bsky.social 🗓️ Wednesday, 4 pm ET/1 pm PT 🔗 www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqL0...

Today @404media.co revealed Florida’s Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission is providing ICE with access to Flock surveillance data. According to a recent record request, surveillance by Asheville PD is shared with the FWC, potentially exposing Asheville visitors and residents to ICE tracking. 1/

piggybacking off @tutusntinyhats.bsky.social's thread @firestorm.coop is an anarchist bookstore in the so-called carolinas that is financially struggling right now others have rightfully pointed out that they are a hub of mutual aid amidst multipleclimate disasters and an important community hub

Hey guys my book launches in like 9 days have you ordered it yet? Asked your local library or book store? Copies are already shipping out!!! Order it through @firestorm.coop and support me and one of the best anarchist spaces in the whole dang country while you do it! firestorm.coop/products/230...

Our friends at Firestorm are struggling in the face of disaster capitalism. A queer- and worker-owned bookstore that has, over and over, been there for the community. They let me set up a referral page with them. Books from my podcasts, my books, and books I love firestorm.coop/r/killjoy.html

Just saw over on Instagram that @firestorm.coop, a really awesome worker-owned radical bookstore and mutual aid hub in Asheville, NC, is struggling financially and needs support to stay open. I highly recommend buying books from them, and becoming a sustainer on Patreon if you can!

Like a lot of small businesses in our region, Firestorm has been in financial distress for the last year. Hurricane Helene was our tipping point, but local cost of living increases, inflation, and higher occupancy costs are huge contributors. 1/9

The State vs. the Emma Goldman Book Club "Nonprofits ostensibly focused on ensuring First Amendment protections also turned their backs. (To this day, the ACLU of Texas has yet to comment.)" https://www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/online-only/the-state-vs-the-emma-goldman-book-club/

Asheville 🪿

Going to be chatting with @crimethinc.com & @firestorm.coop about all the things wonderful/terrible/stupid/inspiring from our anti-globalization era struggles & past efforts to attack the infrastructure of deportation- & how they may be relevant to today. Sun. 4/19, 3pmEST, register at link below.

Last month, activists in Fort Worth, TX were convicted of "material support for terrorism" after attending a noise demo at the Prairieland Detention Center. On Friday we're hosting a teach-in on this landmark case and what it could tell us about the future of dissent! firestorm.coop/events/3585-...

Chinga la migra, friends! (Old friend introduced me to that just yesterday, to my great delight.)

Deleted a post from mid-March about ICE targeting trans people after reading a piece critiquing the source. The author makes a compelling case that the source's claims are unsubstantiated and undermine our capacity to do effective risk assessment.

Breaking the ICE 🧊🔨 Join us on Wednesday at 6pm for a presentation by anarchists from the Twin Cities!

It would be hard to think of a more influential book over the last 5 years than Dena Spade's "Mutual Aid." It's a perennial bookclub pick, there’s an even chance it comes up in any conversation about local organizing, and we regularly hear customers enthusiastically recommending it to each other. 1/

“The prosecution broke the law when it hid this evidence from the defense. The prosecutors should be removed & a new trial granted immediately.” Exclusive investigation by @adamfederman.bsky.social @inthesetimes.com & @typeinvestigations.org casts doubt on the govt argument in the TX "antifa" trial.

We've started getting an overwhelming number of requests for interviews on cooperativism, community resilience, and related topics, largely from students writing dissertations. It's awesome that there's all this enthusiasm, but we are so under resourced to respond to constant inquiries 😮‍💨

☎️ URGENT PHONE ZAP FOR PRAIRIELAND DEFENDANTS 📣 We have 2 critical demands: 1) Return Rowan Gibson to general population 2) Provide everyone with tablet access now Tablets are critical for all the defendants who just had their federal trial because they need to communicate with their lawyers!

With the HP trailer dropping tomorrow, here's the whole deal: If you watch the show, hell even just the trailer, I will think less of you. I will dislike you. I will think you don't care about trans people. That's it. It's been years. There's no wiggle room. No qualifiers. You care or you don't.

New mini-zine for Des and the Prairieland Defendants! #ZinesAreNotACrime #FreeDes

For people who are concerned about having their devices seized at US airports starting Monday when ICE "assists" the TSA, EFF has this guide: www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

ICE zines: melt ICE be water crimethinc.com/zines/melt-i... recent collection of writings to resist ICE crimethinc.com/zines/resist... 7 steps to stop ICE crimethinc.com/zines/seven-... Resist ICE Fascists in Chicago unsalted.noblogs.org/post/2025 /08/19/new-zine-resist-ice-fascists-in-chicago/

Last month @404media.co posted the PDF for their very cool zine about ICE surveillance technology. We loved it, but didn't have a riso printer—so in true distroist spirit, we downloaded the file, remixed it for b&w production, and now we offer it to you! archive.org/details/404-...

Some preliminary thoughts on the Prairieland convictions and its implications for press freedom, by anonymous zine distros... worth a read 👀 anarchistnews.org/content/rele...

This one page print and play game looks delightful 🎲💣

Happy Tyrannicide Day! March 15th commemorates the assassination of would-be tyrants and serves as a reminder that the most powerful men cannot claim absolute immunity for their crimes.

Absolutely awful result in the "antifa terrorism" trial against the Prairieland noise demonstrators. Innocent people convicted under conspiracy statutes because they had zines at home, or wore black, or were in a Signal chat — even those who did not actually participate in the demonstration.

The Prairieland verdict is a reminder not to count on the courts to stop the rise of fascism. This case is intended to set a precedent enabling the government to suppress all forms of resistance. It must not discourage us from fighting as hard as we can against them. Fighting is our only hope.

We have a verdict and we are heartbroken at the results. This is only the beginning. We will continue to fight the remaining charges until every defendant is home.

Extremely grim news from Texas. Absurdly, a jury has decided to convict all of the defendants on most of the charges, including "Corruptly Concealing a Document" for moving a box of zines. The jury's verdict: www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/v... Background on the case: crimethinc.com/Prairieland

Leqaa Kordia has been held captive by ICE since March 2025 due to her pro-Palestine activism. She is still being held at the Prairieland Detention Facility in Texas, the same location where 19 people are being charged as domestic terrorist for attending a protest. Free Leqaa! Free them all!!

There's an abundance of five alarm fires right now, but pay close attention to the one going on with the Prairieland case. A jury will decide today if the government can criminalize protest, speech, and thought. So much hinges on this. Follow @dfwsupportcommitt.bsky.social for updates.

The federal government is explicitly arguing that "wearing black clothes" at a noise demonstration is "enough to convict the eight defendants accused of material support" for terrorism. The outcome of this trial cold be catastrophic.

holy fuck, @mollycrabapple.bsky.social's new book is fire. I'm interviewing her about it for Cool People, but seriously, I read history books about this exact time period for a living and I don't know that I've seen an author pull off "this is how this history matters today" quite so well.

Closing statement from Des' lawyer 🙏 #FreeThemAll #ZinesAreNotACrime

"[T]he Lemkin Institute believes that the United States is squarely within the early to middle stages of a genocidal process against trans people, the goal of which is to completely erase transgender people not only from public life but also from existence in the U.S. and globally."
