"All is lost" narratives are popular because people generally do not want to take action. Taking action is tiring so if all is lost, you are off the hook. Nothing is more seductive than not having to do anything.

ICE is boxing people in on the I-5 near Seattle and kidnapping them. Seattle, you cannot tolerate this. You MUST take a stand. The more you let them get away with, the worse it will get. If we have learned anything this last year, it is that failure to act only emboldens them. #seattle #ICE #pnw

Note that Roger Stone refers to Prospera, the Network State city in Honduras, as a "freedom city."
Trump wants to build ten of these cities on federal land, and Stone makes it clear that these fascist cities are, indeed, the Network State.

There's a couple reasons so many IWW songs are set to the tunes of hymns and one is that the Salvation Army Band would show up and try to stop workers organizing by playing hymns to drown out speeches, so the Wobblies came up with words so they could sing along. SA has been trash all along.
It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

Trump calling Somalis "garbage" en route to a literal militarized purge of the community is a real litmus test for Democratic party politicians. Imagine being so worthless that they can't find time even to speak up about it.

Younger people who didn't witness it cannot fathom the hype around the Segway. Every news station agreed it would revolutionize the entire social fabric of the Earth.

Yo! If you missed the first two printings, tonight I cranked out 100 more copies of the Public Collectors booklet "Who Shares the Restroom Code with ICE Agents?" Still just $6.00 from the Half Letter Press webstore. Give the gift of FUCK ICE to someone you love. halfletterpress.com/who-shares-w...
Who Shares the Restroom Code with ICE Agents? (3rd printing)
This collection of questions is an invitation to think about situations we may encounter with ICE, a poetic rant against ICE, and a provocation for ICE’s allies.

Saw some folks complaining about anarchists doing vandalism during this event, but they failed to acknowledge the effectiveness and anarchism of the movement as a whole.
Mass blockades are effective, and coordination of smaller groups is possible.

On this day 26 years ago, demonstrators blockaded and shut down the summit of the World Trade Organization in Seattle—demonstrating the power of direct action and horizontal, decentralized organizing.
Today, as federal mercenaries attack our communities, we need this reference point more than ever.

Stalling on releasing the Epstein files and pardoning some drug dealers while killing others makes perfect sense through the lens of Trump Inc being a traditional organized crime family with branches in gambling, drugs and prostitution. He’s killing his rivals right out in the open.
