We agree it is too slow. People are hesitant to put their name on a list, but remember you can use an alias & a masked/new email address!

I’ve had a number of chats this last year with industry friends about what the next stage of the media ecosystem might look like, and we’ve all agreed that print papers are the likeliest to make a comeback

The Onion is proving that point, honestly, and boy howdy is it exciting
bencollins.bsky.social
Some incredibly good news:

One year ago this week, The Onion returned to print.

In that one year, we’ve grown to the 13th largest print newspaper in the United States, just ahead of the Boston Globe, and growing fast.

In short, it’s working.

So… thank you. Thank you for helping save this thing.
Exclusive | The Onion Brought Back Its Print Edition. The Gamble Is Paying Off.
Publications turn to the old-style products to appeal to nostalgic readers and stand out in a crowded digital-media landscape.

First aid = mutual aid.

Whether it’s Stop the Bleed training, street medic education, harm reduction via clean needles/naloxone, or access to menstrual products, prophylaxis & abortion pills—equipping communities with the means to protect health and wellness is ESSENTIAL. ⛑️ 🩹

WE KEEP US SAFE! 💪🏼

A collage-style graphic that blends symbols of mutual aid and community care. On one side, a red Stop the Bleed tourniquet and a pair of gloved hands represent trauma care and first aid education. Nearby, a medic’s kit with gauze and bandages signals street medic readiness. In the center, a set of clean syringes, a bottle labeled naloxone, and a small harm reduction card represent overdose prevention and safer use practices. To the right, menstrual pads and a medication packet symbolizing abortion pills highlight reproductive health access. The overall tone emphasizes solidarity, resilience, and empowerment through knowledge, skill-sharing, and resource accessibility. The image conveys that care—whether through first aid, harm reduction, or reproductive autonomy—is a form of collective power and resistance.

Andres Paredes Morales and his partner were planning a future together.

Now marriage plans are postponed after plainclothes immigration agents arrested the Norristown resident at his workplace near the King of Prussia mall last month.

They planned to marry this year. An ICE arrest near the King of Prussia mall changed everything.
Andres Paredes Morales, a Venezuelan immigrant, had a valid work permit and was awaiting an hearing to obtain an extended visa.

Because an exploitative capitalist system has bled us dry. So we have to start with making our communities self reliant, building mutual aid networks, and making sure we can distribute resources to those who need them. Join us.

img2, centro izquierda: Una fotografía de MacArthur Park. Muestra un paisaje de árboles, césped y caminos de concreto. Los agentes de ICE vestidos de negro, con cubiertas faciales negras, se agrupan a lo largo del camino y en el césped.

IMG 3: El fondo son dos rectángulos rojos, uno en el centro a la derecha y otro en la parte inferior izquierda, enmarcando las dos fotos. La impresión es que las fotos están superpuestas a un gran rectángulo rojo que ocupa el centro de la página.

text reads:

[img1: the logo for the BHD coalition is the orange Home Depot logo in a white circle, with the word "BOYCOTT" superimposed in a very different font, with a rectangular outline to further separate it from the background.]

img2, center left: A photograph of MacArthur Park. It shows a parkscape of trees, grass, and concrete paths. ICE agents in all black, with black face coverings, cluster along the path and on the grass.

text1: CONDEMN THE JULY 7TH MILITARIZED OCCUPATION OF THE PARK AND BOYCOTT HOME DEPOT FOR WORKING WITH ICE!

img 3: the background is two red rectangles, one at center right and one at bottom left, framing the two photos. the impression is that the photos are layered on top of a large red rectangle that takes up the middle of the page. layered over the center-touching corners of the photos is a black outline drawing of people at a protest, fists raised.
