Did a cute booth for the @constellationfest.bsky.social anarchist Bookfair. A collection of stickers, buttons and posters from the past 20 or so years.

After an epic @constellationfest.bsky.social bookfair weekend, yesterday's fête populaire contre le fascisme with @montrealantifa.bsky.social was a huge success, completely holding the space around the statue where the fascists of Nouvelle Alliance planned to gather for Journée des patriotes.

A hundred or more people gathered in a park, with some large tents set up, a line for food, and a banner reading Ni Patrie Ni État Ni Québec Ni Canada
