If you care about public health, you have to become a revolutionary. If you care about medical research, you have to become a revolutionary. If you care about climate change, labor conditions, the well-being of children in war zones—you have to become a revolutionary.

There is no more middle ground.

If you care about public health, you have to become a revolutionary. If you care about medical research, you have to become a revolutionary. If you care about climate change, labor conditions, the well-being of children in warzones, there is nothing else for it—you have to become a revolutionary.

There is no going back to the way things were, to the future that we once anticipated. The old world is in flames around us.

Space City Anarchist Organization @spacecityao.bsky.social · 3d

Multiple organizations are coming together to put on the Sinners Sanitation Drive, a menstrual product drive to combat period poverty in Houston. On October 19th, there will be a benefit show and a twerk off. Come out and combat period poverty by going to this awesome show!

Flyer for the sinner sanitation drive, faded background includes tampons scattered on a table. At the top of the list is a list of organizations putting on the menstrual product drive: Space City Satanists, Houston Feminist Collective, Space City Anarchist Organization & Banding Together. On the top right is where the venue will be located: Black Magic Social Club @ 7036 Harrisburg Blvd, Houston Texas. The show will take place from October 19th from 1 - 9 PM. 10 dollar entry or a product donation.

The title of the poster is in a light red in a funky font, "Sinners Sanitation Drive" with the subtitle: a menstrual product drive to combat period poverty in Houston. Slightly below the title/subtitle is a demoness with fangs with pink horns/skin and red hair slightly submerged chest high on what potentially appears to be blood.

1:00 PM – 2:15 PM
Wyeth Ballroom

Description:
As we face roll backs in civil rights protections and health access, new pressures from anti-LGBTQ and anti-trans legislation, and increasing rates of violence and harassment, what can be learned from previous models for building community power? In this session our panelists reflect on their experiences with intersectional movements for liberation, survival, and visibility to draw out strategies that might help us shape responses to current struggles. Join us as we delve into stories from ACT UP and health justice, abolitionist organizing, LGBTQ+ communities in Latin America, and initiatives for trans justice to explore the lessons that live in our collective history of courage and resilience.

Speakers:
Kris Hayashi, ACLU
Wilfred Labiosa, Waves Ahead Corp, CEO/President
Andrea Ritchie, Interrupting Criminalization, Co-Founder
Jose Demarco, Black and Brown Community Control of Health, Founder

Mutual Aid request

Struggling to find a job since I was fired in April (2025).

No car. No public transportation options. Unable to get SNAP; and you already know what food costs right now. Unemployment doesn’t go very far. About to lose my internet and phone.

I think I actually managed to wear all the outfits I planned for Nashville, and more importantly, all 7 pairs of shoes I brought 😅

We had a lot of specifically themed events and most days I had at least one costume change, if not multiple so, yes, I was that extra. I'm still recovering from it too.

Educate yourself about informants!

Years ago, a group of people who were directly harmed by informant provocateurs put together this checklist, drawing on their own experiences and those of other activists as well as information from informants who have gone public.

That way, when government shuts down, so does golf. You'll never see another shutdown again.

Has anyone told the wealthy ⚪️people in Chicago that are pretending the orange demon is not terrorizing their city that this will hurt their pocketbooks?

They don’t realize this will affect tourism and their bottom dollar?

They're not recruiting this many ppl for ICE just for immigration.

You don't build infrastructure this large, fast & expensive unless you plan to keep using it.

The grave we dig for immigrants is the one we will be buried in.
