"Antifa materials" is intended to sound sinister but the government is talking about ESSAYS. If you read literature the regime disapproves of, you might be a terrorist, too.

“Des's indictment should shock us all, as all that is alleged is the movement of a box of political ‘documents and propaganda’ (i.e. zines) from one place to another.”

Alarming criminalization of green card holder based on "Antifa Materials" - another attempt to silence dissent and target people critical of this administration Release Des and the Prairieland Defendants!

This is nothing but an attempt to silence dissent and target people critical of the administration’s actions.

The Federal government, along with the state of Texas, continue their crusade against the Prairieland Defendants. Des is only one of the 18 protesters that the Trump administration is attempting to paint as an “antifa” terrorist group.

Teen Vogue eliminated all their Black and trans staff today. It's resegregation in real time.

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

Condé Nast finally achieved its dream of wrecking Teen Vogue and killing its politics section. www.thecut.com/article/teen...

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse. I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

The 2025 Boston Anarchist Bookfair is this weekend! See more info on our website for all the details including the full list dozens of vendors: bostonanarchistbookfair.org 🖤❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️🖤

Reposting for the evening crowd: I'm raffling off a bunch of my crafts, postcards by @jkmakes.bsky.social, a copy of @mskellymhayes.bsky.social's forthcoming book, and copies of @cbmilstein.bsky.social's zines to benefit food banks and mutual aid groups that feed people!

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness) As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

Items this raffle contains (1 of 2): Read This When Things Fall Apart, edited by @mskellymhayes.bsky.social - a powerful book of letters to activists. A set of collaborative anarchist zines by @cbmilstein.bsky.social, printed on colorful paper by me. Art postcards by @jkmakes.bsky.social.

Want to help feed people during the SNAP shutdown and also enter to win a whole bunch of cool stuff? Donate to any food bank, food pantry, or mutual aid group that distributes food, post a receipt here, and I'll use a random number generator to draw a winner. More details in 🧵:

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

It was so exciting to see what titles I ran out of. As always, all of my copies of @cbmilstein.bsky.social & @prisonculture.bsky.social's offerings got picked up immediately. Today, @crimethinc.com 's To Change Everything zine was more popular than it's been at previous events.

So much bad news, and thus so much need for our news. Immensely sad at @igd.bsky.social’s passing 💔🖤💔🖤. Sending the IGD much love! May IGD’s memory be a blessing. 🪬🫂

To be clear: LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government. The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency. This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Fenway health in Boston has stopped providing gender affirming care to trans youth. I was previously on the board of this organization and I've never been so disgusted with their leadership cowardly capitulating like this.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. 

It wasn’t the feds —  it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help. He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

“I’m worried about my community… I’m out here in a frog costume to show how ridiculous the notion that we’re violent terrorists is, and showcase how that narrative is wrong…” Serious Q: is it too late to give this dude the Nobel Peace Prize? 🐸 🏆

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

"All [13 people arrested in Boston on Oct 7] were to be charged with inciting a riot, a felony charge that is also known as 'promotion of anarchy,' with origins in early 20th-century fears of anarchist violence. If convicted, they could face up to 3 years in prison." www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

Our plane to Spain is in the air! 🙌🙌 Thank you so much to the countless people supporting us in every way and in particular all of the Rutgers students and faculty who have supported us every step of the way.

Zines as Social Media “Why have we let ourselves cede terrain on the term ‘social media’? Quite to the contrary, zines are social media—for starters, they exist in three-dimensional life and lead to face-to-face social interactions.” Full post @cindymilstein IG or kolektiva.social/@cbmilstein/...

"If we are going to foster a thriving, powerful movement equal to this dangerous moment, we must not surrender “antifa” to Trump’s whims and the worst fantasies of our opponents. The health and safety of our friends, family, and society may depend on it." theintercept.com/2025/09/27/t...

Zines as Material World “Zines humbly remind us that cyberlife, all-too-real in terms of its impacts, isn’t actually a life—or life. Simple pieces of paper can unfold into something of our own creation that exists even if the power grid goes down.” @cindymilstein kolektiva.social/@cbmilstein/...

What the fuck?

Rest in power, Assata Shakur.

Zines as First-Aid Beyond zines helping to “heal” folks from liberalism and assist them on the path toward anarchic well-being, zines are “first-aid” in a deeper sense. They’re often just the “medicine” needed to cope with a world that’s sick. @cindymilstein IG kolektiva.social/@cbmilstein/...
