There is a lot of woe in the world, but here is one thing I'm excited about:

nashhigh.itch.io/zinearranger This zine layout tool is a dream I never knew I had. You can upload a pdf of your, e.g., 56-page 1/4-sized zine in page order (1-56), and in seconds get back a 14-page doc you can print from.

"A leader might take the opportunity provided by a fresh day to soothe the broken heart of a nation and appeal to the better angels among us.

"JD Vance went in a different direction."

The Catholics are calling Vance weird, too.

"I myself have copies of most, if not all, of the zines that Des Revol had in that box [that got Des arrested]. Those zines were free or cheap to get, and are filled with history, free thought, anarchist political analysis, discussions of shared struggle, and hope." - author Red Schulte

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.

Zine awards are bad and represent a misunderstanding of zine culture. I was glad when Broken Pencil zine awards went down with the magazine and I'm sorry to see this one come into being. Unsurprisingly co-sponsored by Microcosm Publishing, which also doesn't give a shit about zinester values.

Controversial take from known radical AOC
Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

"Videos contradict Trump administration acct of ICE shooting in Minneapolis" & "An analysis of footage shows that the vehicle driven by a woman who was fatally shot by an ICE agent appeared to be turning away from the officer as he opened fire." The Times is SO CLOSE to "Trump lied" & "ICE murdered"

🗳️ "winning back the House isn’t enough if we’re electing the wrong Democrats" 🗳️

In NY-10 we have the chance to unseat a Zionist quarter-billionaire with "no deep ties to the district, no history of organizing or engagement in the political and social life" in the neighborhoods he "represents."
As a constituent in NY-10 Congressional district, I wrote this piece setting the record straight about Dan Goldman.

He may claim a progressive label, but Goldman has undermined democratic values repeatedly these last few years. indypendent.org/2026/01/op-e...

I'm deeply sorry to the people of Venezuela. There is no opposition party in the United States to counter the fascist regime's actions and the population is easily demagogued.

Upon Zohran Mamdani’s inauguration as mayor of NYC, Americans prepare for New Yorkers to be more insufferable than ever

The 2020s have been increasingly awful. Feeling so much joy on the first day of 2026 with Mamdani’s inauguration is confusing! I’m not quite optimistic (those with power will always disappoint us), but I’ve got a lil glimpse of hope.

Mamdani arrives to his mayoral inauguration at City Hall in a motorcade of NYC taxi cabs—workers he went on hunger strike with in 2021.
