They said it. We’re all thinking it.
A stack of books sitting on a wooden ladder in a bookstore.
Rounding out 2025 with our 20 bestsellers this year! Some aren't pictured because we're waiting on new shipments, but here's the list:
20.) THE FAGGOTS AND THEIR FRIENDS BETWEEN REVOLUTIONS by Larry Mitchell
19.) THE WRETCHED OF THE EARTH by Frantz Fanon
I sent you a DM!
My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.
If you preorder your own copy through my fave bookstore (they'll mail it to you) or directly from AK Press, you will get an extra letter from me tucked into your book when it arrives. That extra letter is about this moment in Chicago and what I think it means to be "effective" right now.
HAPPENING NOW: A sea of protesters have gathered in Ann Arbor, Michigan for a “No Kings Day” rally against Donald Trump (Video: WXYZ-TV)
Nimbus Covid variant (nicknamed “razor blade throat”) is widespread in the US
China reported a doubling in hospitalized cases, and there are anecdotal reports on social media that some doctors have died & they’re seeing pneumonia again
It’s difficult to verify, but an excellent reason to mask up!
Just over two hour left! CAF is so close to their goal - let’s get them over the line!
5 hours left!
Last day to help me raise money for abortion! Mutual aid is radical resistance in action - and IL is a destination for reproductive health care. Let's support people who need health care! fund.nnaf.org/jceason2025
Every time you buy a Harry Potter product, you are financing the dismantling of trans rights
It’s important to pay attention to the fact that there are simultaneous efforts to criminalize mask-wearing by citizens and to standardize the wearing of face-obscuring gaiters by people purporting to be law enforcement.
Please boost and give if you can
I agree, and same goes for anti maskers. If you’re not masking right now during an ongoing pandemic you should feel shame. In a just world you’d be socially ostracized for cavalierly killing and disabling people.
RFK Jr. ordered the NIH’s Integrated Research Facility in Frederick to stop all research on serious infectious diseases yesterday at 5:00 PM.
They study pathogens like Ebola there. You may be familiar with it from The Hot Zone.

For nearly 60 days, no food, fuel, medicine or other items has entered the Gaza Strip, blocked by Israel.
Aid groups are running out of food to distribute. Markets are nearly bare.
Palestinian families are left struggling to feed their children.
A lot of people with chronic illness are flaring right now due to the stress of the state of the world.
Living through end stage capitalism and escalating fascism takes a tremendous toll.
It’s important we all resist at our own pace. Don’t be afraid to rest. Unplug. Recharge.
Just gonna make this clear! You aren't taking from other people when you buy a mobility or disability aid. Use what you need when you need it. Every level of disability deserves support. For example, you wouldn't say you won't get glasses because others need it more.
"In an earlier post, she wrote: "As for the inevitable death, if I die, I want a loud death, I don't want me in a breaking news story, nor in a number with a group, I want a death that is heard by the world, a trace that lasts forever, and immortal images that neither time nor place can bury."
I've always kind of assumed a cure for fibromyalgia wouldn't be found in my lifetime, but I didn't think it would be because we just *stopped trying*.
it was the worst of times, its was the wow somehow it keeps getting worse of times
Speaking of which, Bona Fide Masks is currently offering 25% off with coupon code SPRING25. They have Powecom KN95s, among other things.
I have masks at the moment, but this still seems like a good moment to stock up for later on, whether for myself or to share if others need them.
This will absolutely kill people. The decimation of USAID, the gutting of CDC, NIH and now he’s about to create drug shortages.
