As Ben Morea, a crucial part of the anarchist milieu since the mid-60s, continues to participate in public events in his 84th year, he needs our help. We offer this shirt, featuring the cover of Black Mask #9. Proceeds go towards his living & travel expenses, in lieu of another economic safety net.

Preorder Read This When Things Fall Apart @mskellymhayes.bsky.social · 1d

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

10/7 as Israel’s 9/11 is a perfect metaphor because in both cases the attacks are used as excuse to bomb thousands of people who had nothing to do with the attacks, and the majority of Israelis/Americans have no ability to look honestly at why the attacks might’ve happened.

More people need to understand that saying only “criminals” should be subjected to expanding state violence around us is what led to the broader public being targeted by it, too. Criminality is subjective, and power determines what it is or is not.

I just randomly remembered that in 1903 the state of Washington made it illegal to be an anarchist.

Thinking about that time the Cuban government turned ELF fugitive Joseph Dibee over to the US government.

Way too many people presume forethought, planning, and conspiracy when the State merely takes advantage a situation.

The idea that the FBI is supposed to be apolitical is naive at best.

I have examined it and was shocked to find out that “the services” were the greatest force for racist oppression that the world has ever seen even before Trump had control of them.

It’s just shocking how many military resources ICE has been able to take advantage, an absolute stain on the services that’s going to have be examined

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable.

This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed.

Clay Higgins sent a letter to Bluesky and other social media sites threatening investigations if they don't censor speech critical of Charlie Kirk.

They don't even know who Jay is because they addressed her as "gentleman."

clayhiggins.house.gov/wp-content/u...

Alt text: Two-page letter on official U.S. House of Representatives letterhead, dated September 15, 2025, from Congressman Clay Higgins (Louisiana, 3rd District) to major tech executives, including Mark Zuckerberg (Meta), Elon Musk (X), Neal Mohan (YouTube), Shou Zi Chew (TikTok), Jay Graber (Bluesky), and Devin Nunes (Trump Media & Technology Group).

Page 1:
The letter opens by thanking the executives for their service and offering condolences. It references the "graphic, televised murder of a heroic Christian leader, Mr. Charlie Kirk," urging the companies to take responsibility by removing posts that allegedly celebrated Kirk’s death. It demands that authors of such posts be banned and new pages they create also prohibited. It frames celebration of Kirk’s murder as unacceptable in a free society, and states that Congressman Higgins has initiated a Congressional effort to enforce this.

Page 2:
The letter continues, stating that shielding offenders will not be protected under Section 230. Higgins emphasizes his role as Chair of the Federal Law Enforcement subcommittee of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, with authority over federal regulatory law enforcement. He frames the restriction of harmful public statements not as oppression, but as protection of free speech and societal standards. The letter closes with a demand for a formal response within one business week, signed "Clay Higgins, Member of Congress," and CCs Donald J. Trump (President of the United States) and Pam Bondi (Attorney General, U.S. Department of Justice).

Ceding the concept of freedom to the Right is a terrible idea that will have terrible consequences.
