Like..what say do they suppose they have now? "Oh..well I voted so they gives me a say"..yeah? To whom? Is anyone listening? I withhold my vote in hopes that the Democrats will differentiate themselves from Newt Gingrich era Republicans...and it obviously isn't working...but none of us have a "say".

The ones listed in this thread below are a great starting point for most people. Just remember, this isn't an anarchist zine fair. Focus on the basics, pick 5 - 10 total, and print off as many as you can so everyone can take one of each. This way, we can agitate, educate, and organize our cities!

I came across some comrades tabling these at a liberal event and you'd be surprised to see how many normies were legitimately interested in them. Only a year ago these very same people would have told us to go vote Harris.

Brochures on mutual aid, 100 things more useful than just voting, into to anarcho-communism, why "class" is so important, and anarchist organization.

🧵 We have a narrow window to harness the widespread anger and disillusionment felt by many. One way is to organize radical blocs to attend the upcoming No Kings rallies as suggested here. These blocs can show others that there are paths forward beyond the ballot box.

I thought this was lovely.

"A few years ago I received a DM from Zohran Kwame Mamdani. Only recently did I discover its existence. It was a very unusual DM—especially coming from a local assemblyman who would soon be running for higher office. He had very little name recognition at the time, and could have benefited from publicity. But unlike the thousands of messages I’ve received from people with something to promote, Zohran did not ask to be featured on Humans of New York. Instead he asked if he could introduce me to taxi drivers that were struggling beneath the burden of debt. Coming from a man with political ambitions, this self-denying request was so strange as to be almost singular. I don’t endorse politicians on Humans of New York. But I’ll endorse a good man. And it was a good man who cleared 30 minutes from his schedule yesterday to swing by Grand Central and visit Dear New York’s Vanderbilt Hall Exhibition. Nearly fifty-student artists were visiting that day with their families, and I thought a surprise visit from this widely-loved future mayor would be a special memory for all of them. Before Zohran’s arrival I was convinced I’d made a terrible mistake. The exhibit was filled to capacity with adult visitors. Dear New York is self-funded so there was very little staff and security for crowd control. In the crush of people I was almost certain this special day for the kids would devolve into thirty minutes of selfie requests. But everyone rose to the occasion."

black text on white background

"Hundreds of adults quickly cleared the room and stood outside the exhibit. Eleven very notable adult photographers are also featured in the show, but even they took a step back, so that these students could briefly have the stage to themselves. Each child stood by their work and Zohran was able to meet all of them, one at a time, and honor their contributions to the most-visited art show in New York City. Thanks to everyone who ceded the stage yesterday to make this moment possible. Thank you Zohran for literally sitting down on the floor so that these young artists could feel so tall. Thanks for continually centering other people in your life and work. And thank you, for being such an important part of Dear New York."

A large group of children and adults pose together indoors in front of a sign reading "DEAR." A man in a suit sits cross-legged in front, surrounded by smiling kids. The background features an ornate architectural detail.

ICE agents blocked an ambulance that was trying to take an injured protester to hospital.

"We are still not being allowed to leave by ICE officers.” an EMT said on radio

When driver tried to get out, an agent yelled, "DON’T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN, I WILL SHOOT YOU"

Notice the difference?

Also Israel has killed dozens of Palestinians since this “ceasefire” began. Including a beloved journalist named Saleh Aljafarawi who was only 28 years old.

He spent this genocide chronicling life in Gaza. And they murdered him while claiming peace.
