'Anarchists in Love' is the story of Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman's life together, describing all the pivotal moments that happened during it (Goldman becoming a leading orator, Berkman's failing to assassinate the businessman Frick and spending 15yrs in jail for it). Fiction but great read!

NEW VIDEO: Thanks to our anti-social social order, many people are struggling with a lack of community in their lives. I believe we can change that. Let's revisit the village of the past, then sketch out a radical vision for the future of community.

When we take the bait and engage in US culture war shit here in Aotearoa, this is what we're inviting. The COVID cookers already have an alter-culture relying on conspiracy and hate and in a weeks time we'll find out how many of them were elected to local councils.
A MAGA teenager was spurned by a teen girl so he sent pizza to her home to intimidate her. The police ignored it.
Then, he saw she mocked Charlie Kirk so he murdered her and her friend by ramming his truck into them at 70mph while they were riding their bikes.
He's now charged with murder.

Winston blaming the NZ Greens for his broken window for standing along side people he deems as inciting harm against him… Dude legit got into parliament by aligning himself with violent cookers who hung a noose up for JA, defecated on beehive grounds & set fire to a kids playground. #nzpol #Winston

I don’t think I’ve ever met a more hectic reader than myself. I started reading 14 books in the past two months and just started three more in the past two days. Have I finished reading any of them? No. Am I confused and trying to read them all at the same time? You bet.

Rather than permitting the Trump administration to frighten us out of resisting, we must understand this broad, vague, and performative executive order as an effort to intimidate.
It should catalyze us into urgent organizing, not paralyze us.
Only collective action can keep us safe and free.

![DESIGNATING ANTIFA AS A DOMESTIC TERRORIST ORGANIZATION
Section 1. Antifa as a Terrorist Threat. Antifa is a militarist, anarchist enterprise that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States Government, law enforcement authorities, and our system of law. It uses illegal means to organize and execute a campaign of violence and terrorism nationwide to accomplish these goals. This campaign involves coordinated efforts to obstruct enforcement of Federal laws through armed standoffs with law enforcement, organized riots, violent assaults on Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other law enforcement officers, and routine doxing of and other threats against political figures and activists. Antifa recruits, trains, and radicalizes young Americans to engage in this violence and suppression of political activity, then employs elaborate means and mechanisms to shield the identities of its operatives, conceal its funding sources and operations in an effort to frustrate law enforcement, and recruit additional members. Individuals associated with and acting on behalf of Antifa further coordinate with other organizations and entities for the purpose of spreading, fomenting, and advancing political violence and suppressing lawful political speech. This organized effort designed to achieve policy objectives by coercion and intimidation is domestic terrorism.
Sec. 2. Designation as a Domestic Terrorist Organization. Because of the aforementioned pattern of political violence designed to suppress lawful political activity and obstruct the rule of law, I hereby designate Antifa as a “domestic terrorist organization.” All relevant executive departments and agencies shall utilize all applicable authorities to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle any and all illegal operations — especially those involving terrorist actions — conducted by Antifa or any person claiming to act on behalf of Antifa, or for which Antifa provided material support [...]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:usktoienjig6rm5cxm46j3zl/bafkreihwt6ztyeaf7qnacxnmi2rmqem4c3nkyaf5aspcafwnadi5kwtoqy@jpeg)

I've always loved physical media because it meant I wasn't tied to or dependent on a streaming service. No internet? I still have every (console) game, movie and CD I've ever bought.
Used bookstores have TONS of media right now because so many people have switched to streaming in the past 10 years.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.
