Anyone know a good cartoonist who does commissions?

Free them both

Alex this is so good

"a question remains for every elected official and candidate in the state: Have the last five days proven that snatching people up on their way to work and school makes us safer? Or have they shown us exactly what these kinds of operations are meant to deliver: fear and chaos, not public safety."

People are facing down masked men with GUNS in their cul de sacs while wearing sweats and flip flops. USians are in the streets.

"Look we've really stretched the air safety system to the breaking point so if you're going to get on a plane you should dress in the suit you want to be buried in."

Thank you!

What are your favorite resources for conflict management in organizing spaces?

workers should democratically control the means of production and the halls of political power

“Prohibited words and concepts: Equity, diversity, & inclusion; anti-racism; Bias; Critical race theory; implicit bias; oppression; intersectionality; prohibited discriminatory practices; racial privilege; promoting stereotypes based on personal identity characteristics.”

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

Yes

I want people to displace the imaginary depictions of *revolutions* that they have come to create in their heads with the actual small revolutionary acts that happen daily. We might get closer to revolution that way.

I know people think I’m too woo-woo about theory and capitalism and markets. But I sincerely believe this kind of degradation of micro-trust is the real social and economic rot. We constantly feel scammed and then we start reacting like marks instead of mutually reliant humans.
