Take notes from the French people.

Là où le gouvernement a peur du peuple, comme il se doit.

Tmw you had a perfectly good post but navigated to Google to look for a word you couldn’t think of, & when you navigate back to blue sky, your feed refreshed and everything you typed is fucking gone.

Oh, forgot about the black eyed peas: paper wasps decided they’re a great place to build a nest & they protect it ferociously. Got stung once while picking & haven’t tried since. They can have it.

The green onions are close to the wasps so gave up on them too.

and red & yellow bells. The critters don’t seem to like peppers much. Just the leaves.

Sunflowers became leaf-footed bug food as well.

At least the critters are well fed. Lol

Might start some cool weather greens & herbs this month so the critters will have some food this winter. Lol

Garden news:

Watermelons became pickle worm food.

Tomato plants fed some hornworms before producing maybe 3 tomatoes for the leaf-footed bugs, then stopped blooming in the heat, but are starting to bloom again, so maybe get some tomatoes before cold comes.

Plenty of jalapeños, some serranos

My cousin’s boyfriend in antifa said their upcoming meeting this month (the 18th I think?) is at the SpaceX facility in McGregor, Texas.

Oh, and wtf does she mean by "conquer freedom?"

You don't "conquer" freedom. Lost in translation? Or accidentally telling on herself?

Who wants to tell her?

Has no one told her that the US is now a fascist country & rapist is trying to destroy democracy?

Just gonna put this here.

Cry more, asshole.

The front and back cover of the zine "Make Ready: Safeguarding Our Movements against Repression." The back cover reads "Everyone who is against fascism is an anti-fascist. In seeking to target everyone who opposes fascism, Trump is biting off more than he can chew—provided we don’t roll over and let him win." There is also a CrimethInc. logo.

Donald Trump is trying to criminalize opposition to fascism. What are the real threats—and how can people prepare for them?

We've prepared a zine version of "Make Ready: Safeguarding Our Movements against Repression."

Please print these out and distribute them widely!
