ANTIFA SPLATTERPUNK, ed. by
@ericraglin1992.bsky.social
Warlocks in pointed, white hoods having their own black magic turned against them. A police-state run by pig-men in dead pig’s skin. Snorting ghosts & punching fascists so hard they pass through the Wall Between Worlds. Stories as resistance.

your analysis of this political moment is going to fail if you keep using reductionist labels like "wine mom". first of all, there are dozens of factions just within that one term, from whiskey women to chardonnay chicas, and understanding their unique informal coalitions can take decades of study
