I wrote for @theintercept.com about how prosecuting transportation of these pamphlets is a danger to all writers, journalists, and Americans.

Possession of words is not a crime, even with intent to distribute.

So the federal government is fighting a global war on Antifa in defense of western civilization (their words). Seems like something the major media might want to look into or mention at all

As a bookstore that sells pamphlets and magazines, the criminalization of such materials feels pretty close to home. So let's take a closer look at the materials the federal government is claiming tie readers to "antifa terrorism." We can pick out six titles in these grainy photos. 1/

"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.
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.

“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.”

Teen Vogue eliminated all their Black and trans staff today.

It's resegregation in real time.
today’s information came out piecemeal, and people should be able to share their own situations on their own time, but I could share this much ^ as it is pretty cut and dry on the facts.

Teen Vogue also no longer has any trans staffers as of today.

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
