This is what JKR is offering to pay for a lawsuit over. Spread it far and wide.

The thing about JKR and telling folks not to buy Harry Potter shit is it isn't because we think it can take away her fortune and platform. She's so rich she would still be rich if she never sold another book It is because it is literally the smallest possible hurdle to clear to value trans lives

You can join me in having these zines on your couch (and also help support the folks who are facing obscene prison terms for having these zines).

ladies and gentlemen, the democratic party

I know everyone’s making their jokes, but to be real: it’s an American sickness that the media and political class are praising someone who has spent last year calling for a genocide. Lindsay Graham was the worst of us. He wanted the blood of children to flow in the streets of Gaza and got his wish.

As of Monday, we'll have processed 90% of orders for these benefit zine packages! That's 3,675 criminalized zines and 245 Prairieland letter writing kits shipped to recipients across the US, Canada, England, and Ireland.

Thank you @firestorm.coop for a great book event this past weekend!

Tons of valuable insights in this piece about state cooperation and sentencing discrepancies in the Prairieland case!

Unironically listening to Spook Rat while shipping benefit zines ☺️

The 1998 murders of Dan and Spit represent the cutting of threads in a fabric woven across time by countless contributors and crews before and after. The entire tapestry is changed by their absence, offset by the shape of their loss. Every anti-racist must know their story and continue earnestly.

this photo perfectly captures the existence of minority folk while (literally) surrounded by inherently racist practices/people. feature photography pulitzer prize material, imo.

100 years ago.

July 4th is nothing to celebrate. 20% of all book sales today, in the store and online, will be donated to the legal support funds for the Prairieland defendants and the Minneapolis 15. Bookstore and cafe open until 4pm today, come through if you are feeling unpatriotic!

Fuck the Fourth! Make zines! 🖨️🧨🎇

Asheville friends! Hope to see you @firestorm.coop this Sunday to discuss my book and talk about historical contexts for the stormy present!

"Why is there nowhere affordable to live in this town?" I ask as I stare at a map of Asheville on which one "single-family home" occupies a third of all available land.

On Sunday afternoon, join us for a conversation with legal historian @gauthamrao.bsky.social whose new book, "White Power," examines the history of policing and slave patrols in the United States and the ways systems of surveillance and racial control shaped American governance and law. 1/2

#America250 ? 250 years? Pfft. The Prairieland Defendants were just collectively sentenced to TWICE that long for protesting outside an ICE detention center in Alvarado, Texas. 1/4

Earlier this week, Intelligencer ran a piece called "ICE Won." We definitely don't agree with the title, but its gist—that the normalization of federal police violence is accelerating—is proving accurate. ICE arrests roughly doubled in Chicagoland in June over May. Some more thoughts on that:

ashes in my mouth

Hell yeah we are

NEW: Minnesota 15 Defendant Isaac Sant Speaks Out "It's about quelling dissent in Minneapolis. And it's about coming after the movement that rose up against ICE during Metro Surge in December and January," said Isaac Sant, one of 15 defendants charged with conspiracy for their anti-ICE activism.

“Americans should not make the mistake of believing Sanchez’s sentence only threatens immigrants, leftists or so-called antifa members – they’re just the low-hanging fruit, not the endgame.” — @seth-stern.bsky.social, Freedom of the Press Foundation

Robin D.G. Kelley recommends three books every radical should read

"I have a shoebox I once filled with letters and mailed to people in jail. I have some of the same zines as my friends. I've been to a book club. And I am writing this down." A beautiful reflection on generosity, danger, and steadfastness ❤️‍🔥

Today is a particularly good day to buy these zines and support the Prairieland defendants.

If you only read one article today about Prairieland, read this one.

I also think people should notice and remember that no Democratic politician is talking about Prairieland.

30 years for moving a box of zines. Des Sanchez Estrada was not even at the noise demo that led to this. The state is attempting to make an example of these anti-fascist political prisoners. We can expect the crackdowns to continue & escalate. Take this seriously. Don't back down

Under the First Amendment, possessing literature cannot be criminal. If prosecutors are correct that Daniel Sanchez moved zines because he feared they’d try to use them against his wife, that’s a commentary on their lawlessness, not his. Our statement:

Daniel Sanchez Estrada wasn’t accused of attempted murder or material support of terrorism after a protest turned catastrophically wrong outside an ICE detention center in Alvarado, Texas. He was convicted of obstructing the investigation by moving a box full of antifascist zines after the protest.

The Prairieland defendants will appeal their convictions, but the entire court system is rotten—especially in Texas. We must completely discredit the tyranny of ICE and Donald Trump, creating a situation in which anyone who succeeds Trump is compelled to pardon those who suffered under Trump.

The fascists have made it plain: they are freedom fighters and should be paid (J6ers). Anyone on the left, or if you're Black, poor, queer, a person of color, or immigrant, you should be in prison forever, or maybe dead. Stand in solidarity with the most vulnerable now, and fight back.

The absurd cruelty against the Prairieland defendants is the sign of a regime terrified of the level of resistance it's already facing and losing badly. The rest of us must keep solidarity with those facing the worst of its evils and continue the struggle anyway. We are going to win.

Judge O’Connor stated from the bench that he is giving maximum sentences to the Prairieland sentences because “the state wants to send a message to anyone who shares a similar ideology.”

The Guardian telling readers that the Prairieland trial was a a fucking farce in journalist speak: "Even though many of the protesters did not know each other, or were loosely affiliated, prosecutors said the attack on the officer was premeditated and part of a conspiracy." 1/2

“They told you that Renee Good and Alex Pretti were domestic terrorists. And you know what? They would have done the same thing to these guys if they could have caught them that night. If Ben Song hadn’t been there, two families would have buried their sons.”

the best chance the Prairieland anti-ICE protesters have is that we keep their names and their case on our lips as we eventually move to a post-Trump era, that we fight for their pardon as an essential part of departing from fascism.

Keep your eyes on Texas today! Eight defendants in the landmark Prairieland "antifa" trial are being sentenced—likely to decades in prison—after what can only be described as a farce of justice overseen by a notorious Trump-appointed judge.

I loved the way that Clare connects empire, racism, and abolition to our relationship with the environment. It made me rethink the way I talk about native and non native plants. Join us! Going to be a great discussion.

Every time I see someone say "the pronouns have just become a gimmick" I look over at the folks who say they love the pronouns and it makes their heart happy and start trying to figure out how to put even more pronouns in the next book.
