Ask me why most zine librarians & zinefest organizers who have been at this a while won't have anything to do with Microcosm. But do it via DM so Microcosm doesn't sue me. The CEO loves to sue people (all women/nonbinary I think), which is super punk.

All power to the Iranian protesters against their brand of fascists.
Whenever they chant about "not gaza and not lebanon," I feel compelled to say - yes please! Would love to see a day when Iran leaves us alone and stops playing with our lives!

It will never stop shocking me. They can come up to us and ask "how do I know youre a US citizen?" and "Where were you born?"
I've been carrying around a passport for the last year.
What a disgrace.

This black man, who was racially profiled by ICE in a gas station in Minneapolis today, would not have walked away if it weren’t for brave Americans who stood up for him and for those whose deaths have brought ICE’s savagery to the epicenter of national attention.
Keep calling them out, America!

@bsky.app Bulk Carrier CSL Welland uses searchlight to navigate St. Lawrence near Akwesasne on its way to Toronto. The Seaway has remained open past its usual closing date in early January because early ice has slowed down shipping. January 10, 2026, 11.00 PM markbellis.blogspot.com/2026/01/bulk...

Things are escalating. Friends report mass walk outs and demonstrations, even in the “upper city” (the rich parts). Mum reporting a lot of slogan shouting.
I have been very careful about opining on what is happening in Iran right now. But omg omg omg! This is exciting and scary. I am dead afraid for these people & shudder at thinking what might happen. They must succeed & I am mot brave enough to go there & help them.

Back in 2003, I remember wanting Saddam Hussein gone so badly that I didn’t care who replaced him, even if it had been Satan himself.
As it turns out, who the replacement was did matter A LOT.
May the Iranian people be truly free both from the tyranny of their own regime & from foreign interference.

Daily humiliation & oppression is intensifying everywhere: raids, settler attacks, home seizures, checkpoints, systematic discrimination for Palestinians in 1948 Israel.
It's hard to fathom. Yet this is what so many in Washington defend.
