We’re now entering the 30th anniversary of Section 230 and there’s a bipartisan effort to repeal it- which will mean free speech no more for the internet.

Gift shop in the Minneapolis airport is selling "ICE OUT of St. Paul" posters next to cute onesies and fridge magnets.

Fantastic picture! I love seeing Henry wearing his Haagen-Dazs shirt from when he worked with Ian MacKaye there. Henry and Ian would do all sorts of crazy stuff at the shop (learned from Henry's spoken word). Check out the book Punk Love by Susie J. Horgan for cool pics. Highly recommended!

Feel like: F*ck ICE!
