Maybe it's because I was a commercial printer for nigh a decade, or maybe everyone loves this, but the basis weight of the paper in @akpress.org's printing of @jamesstout.bsky.social's Against the State is just decadent. An absolute joy to read in both content and physicality.

Completed this breathtaking novel about the tides of insurrection, and carrying the light of revolution from Haiti throughout the southern colonies in a compelling alternative history.
Phenomenal storytelling.

Not to be missed by all the fellow straw-hats out there.

Check it out @akpress.org

Reminder that, in recent days, children have rallied and protested for their freedom inside an ICE detention center where water has been described as "putrid" and meals reportedly contain “bugs,” dirt, and debris. This is where the kidnapped 5-year-old Liam Ramos is being held.

stakes are extremely high, literally life or death.

We do NOT need ICE or CBP to have more training or oversight

We do need all border, policing and military angencies to be defunded; end to fed & state partnerships (like sec 287g agreements); end to all detentions & deporations. Abolish borders.

I keep seeing leftists from outside of Minneapolis say they’ve seen all this before, and no, you haven’t. I’ve been at this for 30+ years and I haven’t either. It’s not what you’re picturing. This is something else
I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Berxwedan jiyane! I’m in Minneapolis currently, and feeling a great deal of hope from all the wonderful people showing up on street corners to protect their friends and their community.

Solidarity has many forms, most of them centering love not rage, I hope my book shows that.

After the failure of negotiations in Damascus, a general mobilization has begun in Rojava. Youth from northern Kurdistan appear To have crossed the border to join the defence. it feels like 2014 again, complete with horrific executions of SDF prisoners.
