Hey.
So we heard Iceblock got removed from the app store.

We built fire-app.net for android.

We also made our reports available on the site itself for those without android, so they can still see realtime reports.

Help track Ice agents wherever they are.

Where's your coverage of the #ChicagoRaid @npr.org? Shame on you and your so-called "independent news reporting." You'll report s'pmurT lies without hesitation and look the other way when it comes to his authoritarian rise. #ShameOnNPR! #Chicago

𝘊𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘦 (1944) by Charles Seliger at the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, CT. Though not considered a surrealist, Seliger's work bears the influence of Surrealism, particularly given his relationships with Peggy Guggenheim and Max Ernst in the early 1940s. #Surrealism #HartfordHasIt

Look at this hand-sewn gem I found at the anarchist bookstore La Valija de Fuego in Bogotá. I love how the inside cover (not shown) says "Ningún derecho reservado" (No rights reserved). #amreading
