a reporter asked “is mutual aid a form of resistance?”

and i felt my body pulled into of a room of movement elders who have made this seem like a question i don’t have to think about to respond

of course

of course

mutual aid is an expression of love

love is an act of resistance

Part of me thinks that had this election gone differently, given that ice still existed, people just wouldn’t have even known the extent of the violence at this scale.

Abolish ICE and prosecute everyone who stays in it from this day forward as members of a criminal conspiracy to commit murder.

Keep Hope Alive: a Gaza Giving Circle We are a team of volunteers in the US and UK, led by two sisters passionate about helping our friends on the ground keep their families and neighbors alive with food, water, & shelter. We saw that…

Our continued attention matters. Don't surrender your focus away from Gaza.

You can help with urgent medical care, food, winter & newborn supplies for six families + a whole displacement camp: chuffed.org/project/hope... find a way to take bold NEW action TODAY.

Both Starmer and The Guardian should not be reporting on this or responding to this. A school decided for the safety of their students they didn’t want a genocide supporter, who just happens to be Jewish (their Jewishness wasn’t the reason they were banned!) into their classrooms.

We need to pick up this Overton Window and throw it as far as we can. Stop waiting for shit to “be popular” and start advocating for what is transparently right.

Sometimes also if you get in touch with them, Palestinians will have their own words they’d like you to write with their message, so please copy-paste their words if they send you them too. This ensures their voice is still readable even after account deletion.

The carceral system in the United States creates and causes far more violence than it has ever prevented. It enables and creates far more violent abusers and murders than it has ever punished.

And that's why asking what abolitionists will do with violent people isn't a valid question.

the federal government is now kidnapping native americans and holding them hostage in exchange for i.c.e. cooperation agreements with their tribes

Yesterday, I wrote about the ongoing resistance to ICE terror in Minneapolis.

“With each passing day, networks widen, tactics crystallize, and previously unconnected people find their bravery. […] Yes, we are on our own. But…we are not alone. Take heart, friends. Don't let them see you sweat.”

I supported Mary Peltola in both of her runs for Congress. And I am proud to support her for this campaign.

i need authors and agents to be much louder with their publishers how much they hate gen ai and make it embarrassing/financially harmful for publishers to be associated with it at every level (incl marketing, publicity, and sales)

How Israel and the US are exploiting Iranian protests Genuine rage over economic stagnation is being manipulated to serve western political ends

Iran protests: ‘At its core, this movement is not a revolution, but an attempted disinformation coup crudely masterminded by the US and Israel.’

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.

You could be next.

With the Twin Cities Under Siege, Restaurants Become Hubs of Solidarity - Racket Restaurants, bars, and coffee shops are collecting donations, handing out whistles, and acting as gathering sites for volunteers and observers.

pow wow grounds, moona moono, briar bar, a bar of their own—i spoke with these folks and many more about their role in this ongoing federal invasion, and about the "overwhelming support" and "massive" scale of donations that are flooding in to support immigrants, organizers, and ICE observers.

I'm always a little bit baffled every time I see someone say "All I need is for someone with a big platform to promote my series- then it will be instantly popular!"

As someone who does promos for other comics to a pretty decent following, and has "gone viral" multiple times:

No it won't

Alt National Park Service: Freedom of speech 💚!!

Can we buy the Ford employee a beer? 🍻

Alt National Park Service: Trump flips off a Ford employee after being called a "pedophile protector." Thin-skinned and profoundly unprofessional.

Alt National Park Service: Update: TJ was properly set up as the beneficiary on both GoFundMes. Enjoy the beer, TJ 😉 💚 Thank you to all the folks who pitched in really nice work, everyone. Around 250k total should cover a beer or two. Cheers 🍻

ICE kidnapped an entire Somali family off the street in Minneapolis today, but I'm glad AltNPS is focusing on the real issues: one guy's GoFundMe.

This is what I meant when I wrote that "we can overthrow them with a union of care."

I'm in my mid-50s. I started organizing against the violence of policing when I was a teenager. I've heard ALL of the so-called "reform" proposals. They are the SAME ONES that liberals are offering in 2026. Cops have never killed more people in my lifetime.

Gotta do something different.

Y'all could impeach her but I notice that this is not what's on offer.

Time to join yr local ICE Rapid Response Network.

Aesthetically, I'm mainly inspired by 1970s sci-fi movies, esp. Star Wars and Alien, and things like Firefly with big chunky buttons and a "used future" aesthetic. Lots of clean straight lines and leather, etc.

Anyway, thanks for all the responses!! I'll be reaching out soon with more details!! 👀
