i feel like we are being forced (manipulated?) to view the creation of radical books and other forms of art the way we consume the news cycle.... let's slow down our delight and conversations about the creations of art and words by our friends!

The SPLC has long monitored and exposed white nationalist and Christian nationalist hate groups, so it makes sense that an administration staffed by many people sympathetic to one or both of those movements would use the DOJ to go after them.
Sometimes (often?) analog is best
agree. Flyers and posters in public reach a far broader cross-section of the population than anything online ever will

you could do a dogma 95 kind of thing and just ramble into a handheld recorder and upload the file when you're done-- no edits. you could even hum and sing a theme song upfront and at the end.
so excited about this. finally, my years of muttering "there should be a crosswalk here" while aggressively jaywalking have paid off!
in the past 3 days, i've gotten over 40 calls (from different numbers) from people claiming to be from PLL to "confirm details" about a loan they say I applied for.

is this happening to anyone else?

"Guys, stop putting it in the paper that I'm mad and that we're losing."
Sidenote: the language is really amazing in this passage as well.
"Human communities as variegated in their ways and beliefs as birds are in feathers were invaded, despoiled and at last exterminated beyond imagination's grasp. The clothes and artifacts of the vanished communities were gathered up as trophies and displayed in museums as additional traces of the march of progress; the extinct beliefs and ways became the curiosities of yet another of the invaders' many sciences. The expropriated fields, forests and animals were garnered as bonanzas, as preliminary capital, as the precondition for the production process that was to turn the fields into farms, the trees into lumber, the animals into hats, the minerals into muni-tions, the human survivors into cheap labor. Genocide was, and still is, the precondition, the cornerstone and groundwork of the military-industrial complexes, of the processed environments, of the worlds of offices and parking lots." from fredy perlman's "continuing appeal of nationalism"
