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!

Look what arrived today!

Thank you @margaret.bsky.social and @detritusbooks.bsky.social for being awesome! This order happened explicitly because of the CZM Book Club. I was entranced and had to get a copy for myself.

in my experience, whenever we pressure platforms to deplatform extremism, anarchists and leftists are deplatformed more often than the right wing. I don't personally see it as remarkably different than any other compromise I make on a daily basis like letting credit card companies take a cut.

this week's post is about how hard it is for us to have conversations about what's happening when we don't actually agree about how bad things are right now

Every lifelong Catholic I've ever met is like "I think we're supposed to give this food to poor people" and every adult convert is like "the Archon of Constantinople's epistle on the Pentacostine rites of the eucharist clearly states women shouldn't have driver's licenses.

“Trad cath” is, weirdly, code for “unfamiliar with Catholicism”

i got to talk about anarchist santa

not actually a biography, but instead talking about how this guy did a lot of cool science and changed the way we understand competition and cooperation in evolutionary biology

Igor Konik, the legend of belarusian punk-rock scene and the person I bought my first anarchist distro from died this night. He was among the people whose work made me the person who I am.

Rest in power.

Spain bans US military shipments bound for Israel from passing through its Rota and Morón bases, citing opposition to Israel’s actions in Gaza.

This applies to all US aircraft/ships carrying weapons or equipment for Israel, even via indirect routes.

Rest in power, Assata Shakur.

i'm so glad it helped!

I would say that among people I know the primary two positions are "freak out" and "ignore this" and you will be shocked to know i think neither of those are the right move, but both are understandable. I think this is worth closely monitoring, without losing your shit over it.

further update about the specific mechanisms they want to use to attack anti-fascists (not just "antifa" but anti-fascists more broadly)

❤️🖤Big shout out for a great intro to anarchism by @margaret.bsky.social

”I asked him the big important question about anarchism: “when you draw a circle-A, do the lines break out of the circle or no?”

He gave me the correct answer.

“It doesn’t matter.””

next week's episode is gonna be fun

this week i learned that the anarchist scientist peter kropotkin was the guy who discovered how glaciers move and also wrote maybe the first treatise on the need to combat climate change

Linocut print in white paint on black paper of a Death's head moth and luna moth flying towards a new moon covered by a compass, moon phases in the background. Behind the moths are a saber pointing towards the compass and two antique ink pens pointing out from the deaths head moth's wings, a visual reversal of the way pins hold specimens' wings down, these pens seem to point outwards in both a protective and aggressive way, juxtaposed with the waning and waxing moon to show we keep expressing both when things are getting worse and when they are getting better

"We're in a very dark place right now, but through our actions the light will return" - @margaret.bsky.social

I was going off instinct when I designed this #linocut but the moment I heard this phrase, the full meaning of the piece was clear. We keep going, even when the light is gone 1/

Yep, this is exactly what I'd have expected. Great article from Ken.

Hell yeah, welcome!

oh hell yeah that was so bad. That was my short-lived folk punk band Best Before 1886 that played crass covers even worse than the originals.
