Lifting the District Court’s injunction will unleash untold harm, delaying or denying educational opportunities and leaving students to suffer from discrimination, sexual assault, and other civil rights violations without the federal resources Congress intended. The majority apparently deems it more important to free the Government from paying employees it had no right to fire than to avert these very real harms while the litigation continues. Equity does not support such an inequitable result. * * * The President must take care that the laws are faithfully executed, not set out to dismantle them. That basic rule undergirds our Constitution’s separation of powers. Yet today, the majority rewards clear defiance of that core principle with emergency relief. Because I cannot condone such abuse of our equitable authority, I respectfully dissent.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court allows the Trump administration to move forward with the abolition of the Department of Education. It gives no explanation for its order. All three liberals dissent. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Black and white A4-shaped poster with the word MAKE in big bold letters at the top and ZINES! in big bold letters at the bottom. In between, in capital letters is the following text... NO ONE CAN TAKE SELF PUBLISHING AWAY FROM YOU. NO ALGORITHMS OR OLIGARCHS CAN CENSOR YOU. NO GATEKEEPERS CAN TELL YOU WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY IS NOT IMPORTANT OR VALUABLE. NO GRANT FUNDING CAN BE WITHDRAWN FROM YOUR WORDS. NO INSTITUTION CAN BAR YOU FROM ENTERING. NO KNOWLEDGE IS UNAUTHORIZED. THAT IS WHY YOU MUST MAKE ZINES!
MAKE ZINES! poster by zine maker / artist Cort Hartle.

" No, it wasn't. What makes you worry about things like that is when you start thinking about what certain people might say about it later. Because you're not really sure what they might say. And if you start worrying, you could make some really strange decisions based upon that worry. The work isn't talking to you any more; this worry is talking to you. And you become paralysed. So the trick is: you've got to forget making a hero or a fool of yourself and just try to get into that world. and if you can do that, and you feel good about the decisions that you make, then you can weather whatever good or bad storm comes along. " - David Lynch in 'Lynch on Lynch'.
A David Lynch quote for every creative person who may need it today.
It resonated with me when I came across it reading it in Lynch on Lynch.
Green and gold abstract background. Text reads: “zine made with care by Julie Setele (April 2025, Buffalo, NY)”
A picture of the full minizine, opened up
Back cover and the full thing.
Decorative paper was from @laurachenault.bsky.social ‘s stash, I think.
Thanks, as well, to @alexandragallant.com, Jordan Roth, and Laura Chenault for their fabulous workshops!
Background is separated into 5 abstractly shaped spaces, filled with solid colors of coral, orange and mauve, a black and white photo of a Black woman with shaved head and large earrings in the upper left corner and a photo of a pair of hands holding a house on lower right. Text reads: Happy Birthday, care for this Black Queer Disabled survivor on her birth month -$1322- Due 5/2 I'm healing my body and mind as a survivor of assaults, human trafficking and injury. I'm calling on my communities to assist with shelter and critical unmet needs. Pypl kshernandezinc vnm skillingmesoftly ko-fi.com/khernandez linktr.ee/khernandez
Hi y'all! I'd appreciate any help with this at all. 💞 #helpsky #mutualaid #BIPOCMA #TBNC

a poster with pink bee balm on it that says plant Native plants, and learn more with a QR code. the bottom says take one and plant with a bunch of clips and the clips all have little dime bags attached and the dime bags say "This contains milkweed, bee balm, and purple coneflower seeds. Put them in some dirt and water 'em. It's that simple"
Ok ok, one more thing, one more thing.
The Seed Distribution Wheatpaste Project Prototype is READY.
Poster designed by Philadelphia's own @megstampede.bsky.social.
I should be able to get this out into the world this week!
I think this should work. I think it's going to work.
Obsessed. Maybe @megstampede.bsky.social wants to bring them to @phillymakerfaire.bsky.social April 6th!

ripples. when you create a difference in someone's life, you not only impact their life, you impact everyone influenced by them throughout their entire lifetime. no act is ever too small. one by one, this is how to make an ocean rise.

Tuesday April 1! We're going to do a beginner's guide to street art.
There are a lot of important things that we need to communicate, and street art is an engaging way to get it out there sans algorithms.
It's free, tell ur friends.

The Zine-O-Mat (run by zinester Erin Fae) is a zine vending machine found adjacent to the zine library, or ‘Zine Zone’, in Auckland’s Central City Library.
It sells mini #zines, made by local Aotearoa New Zealand zinesters, including marginalised, queer and POC voices, at just $2 each ✨
A map of the U.S. with pins showing where applicants live. Most are clustered around Chicago and the Midwest but there's a fair East Coast representation.
433 applications received for #CZF2025!! 💫 We only have room for about 65 zinesters in the Winter Garden, so we've got a tough curation process ahead. All applicants will hear back by March 31st.
