Looking forward to the Sacramento Anarchist Bookfair this Saturday...

If you're also attending, be sure to say hello if you see me!

I'll be making the rounds to distribute some free stickers and literature (including my zines on spotting fascism and using the ALERTA reporting method). 👍🏴

An assortment of stickers that - top to bottom, left to right - read:

- "Fuck the King" (with a picture of The Hound from 'Game of Thrones')

- "The Spectre Returns" (with the silhouette of an individual in Black Bloc over a black and red star)

- the Antifascist Action emblem

- "Bash the Fash" (with a stick-figure comrade with a club chasing a stick-figure Nazi shaped like a hakenkreuz)

- "This Machine Kills Fascists"

...as well as an EFF pamphlet about data safety during protests and a stack of "business" cards.

Two bundles of pocket-size zines in stands; "A.L.E.R.T.A." and "14 Ways To Spot Fascism".

Last time I was in Germany I had supermarket veggie Schnitzel. It was alright, and generally I was impressed by how many vegetarian/vegan options were available in meat country.

We were able to tell which was which despite the language barriers.

Our National Parks are at risk. ⚠️

From the rugged Lakes to the sweeping South Downs, these landscapes define us and our future. They sustain wildlife, communities and our wellbeing - and they must be protected.

A future that puts them at risk isn't what anyone voted for.

A scenic view of a National Park landscape with a winding stone path leading through green hills and valleys under soft sunlight. In the centre of the image, bold black text on a red-and-black hazard-striped background reads: “DON’T WEAKEN NATIONAL PARK PROTECTIONS.” Below it, in white text, is the hashtag “#NationalParksMatter.”

Watched One Battle After Another. I enjoyed the experience, it was tense and oddly funny. Initial impression is that its a passing of the torch from the direct action insurrectionists of the 60s-70s(timeline doesn't work but the references seem clear) to the next generation of activists.

Until it was kicked out of the RSDLP in a split engineered by Lenin. jewishcurrents.org/rise-fall-je...

Text readw "The Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin vehemently rejected the notion of Jewish national culture, arguing that the concept was inherently reactionary and that the only solution to anti-semitism was the progressive assimilation of Jews into the broader population. Ultimately, the Bund was forced to leave the RSDLP."

And stop, I implore you, singing the praises of Soviet components. This nostalgia for Soviet-era cotton wool and gauze is life-threatening.
