Trump is a fascist.
We are living in the fascism.

Earlier this week, we published a text from a comrade entitled Does Trump Represent Fascism, or White Supremacy? We’ve received this counterpoint on the same topic.
Trump’s election signals a turn...

How long we hang on,
How far we get,
How many of us make it out
All of that is now up to us.
They don't have enough guards and they know it.
If we wait until they figure that out, it'll be too late.
We will never have a better chance than this.

It requires `zip` and `unar`
It's good enough for my purposes at the moment. This functionality will also be a part of my set #comicbook tools.

ICE is not "domestic terrorism"
ICE is the state
I propose to you that if you hate what ICE is and does, what you actually hate is the police, authoritarianism, and the state itself
ICE is the logical outcome of decades of police state originating from slave patrols

🖤 I really love the comic book archive file format: .cbz .cbr .cb7 .cbt .cba
It's literally just a folder of sequentially named files, packaged as one file
The container type defines the .cb* file extension:
- .cbz → ZIP
- .cb7 → 7z
- .cbr → RAR
- .cbt → TAR
- .cba → ACE

Our Solar System is orbiting the center of our Galaxy at about 220 km/s so in 2025 we collectively traveled something like 7 billion kilometers across the Milky Way. Once in a while, when you have a moment, it’s worthwhile to take a look around, see where you are, and appreciate how far you’ve come.
