"No War But Class War" is always a block for me.

I was commissioned to make a zine for the No Kings 2 protest on Saturday Oct 18th!

If you wonder “what can I do?” this zine is for you. It’s packed with things that you can do from wearing a “no ICE” pin to organizing a visibility brigade with your friends.

Drivers*: follow the speed limit when ICE is racing through your city. If safe, take all the lanes on an arterial or highway. Slow and block them.

*By drivers I mean non-targeted groups in boring cars. Hondas and Toyotas.

I heard of One Piece for the first time this week in coverage of the GenZ demonstrations in Nepal, Morocco, Peru, Madagascar.

Apparently it's inspiring young people to fight corruption, repression, and capitalism. The flag is showing up at demos everywhere in the global South.

So much of this fight is reminding people what a great concept freedom and democracy are and how we could be living a good life together if it weren't for the most miserable losers running everything

I'm sitting here thinking about having a 15 daughter being chased down and abducted by masked men while the local police watch and let them carry her away to god-knows where w/zero accountability

we have to understand that girls are in severe danger of sexual violence from anonymous ICE goons

I'm not happy with the system. I just know young adults who don't take advantage of what they are eligible for and don't even look until a pre-ACA adult explains how to sign up.

On the state exchanges, until now, you could get relatively affordable insurance and have more freedom in career choices.

Maybe not you, but I've noticed many young millennials and GenZ didn't know about the subsidies and tax credits.

Should the New York Times be sold to Pennysaver and its editors sent to work in Amazon warehouses? It depends on who you ask.

Sinclair will get a reprimand from Jr or Eric and probably fire everyone who let it through.

After 50ish (I am) the stink changes, weirder and worse. You may not notice it but others do. If you want to slack off on your routine as you enter the DGAF era pick something others don't have to endure. Stop shaving or wearing heels.

Don't let bots, cool people, and more-radical-than-thous cringe-ify them.

GenZ take up the flag of your generation.

Why Gen Z protesters worldwide are flying an anime pirate flag

Gen Z protesters from Indonesia and Nepal to Madagascar and Morocco, are rallying behind an unexpected banner: a grinning skull in a straw hat.

As a protest optics nerd love about the inflatables is how much they visually disrupt and pull focus from the fascist shock imagery Noem & Miller are trying to create.

So many of these photos now look like the world's silliest dance party, backgrounded by a bunch of guys in uniform looking awkward

Except on SNL it will end up being a cynical bothsides take.

Fred and Carrie should do their own video.

if there is one thing we have over the brain wormed its this:

we still remember how to experience joy
and be silly
and stand, even when no one is sure it will help, because we have to do SOMETHING

all those things matter, and portland is fucking acing it imo

Burr was getting credit from the left for sometimes talking about oligarchs. But mostly changing his misogynistic jokes from "women" to "white women". White women have/make problems, but his jokes are just stale rehashes.

Don't leave out Chapo Trap House, Cum Town, Red Scare, and the rest of the Dirtbag Left. (Many now turned right)

There were also other sections worth reading - arts, sports, NYC, long form pieces. It's now very thin on those.

RealAnneMarie1❌🧊 @realannemarie1.bsky.social · 5d

It was never left wing or even liberal. It was very hostile to Feminism, and guileless about foreign policy from the federal government. Opinion page sucked.

But straight news was based on facts and reality. Not anymore.

You can't be a "longtime proponent" of the Act unless you're abusing it.
