Reminder - I run a free community printer in NYC to help with any mutual aid or organizing projects. If your group needs black and white printing for flyers, zines, manifestos, etc., you can slide into my DMs - pick up in Bed Stuy.

It’s happening! At midnight thousands of autoworkers strategically shut down three huge plants.
For the first time ever the UAW is striking the three big companies simultaneously.
And all of us should support them, because this strike could help the whole working class.

My take on Eric Adams' latest drone gimmick:
"We continue to have police peddling the myth that their technology somehow will magically keep us safe, when in fact, it’s long term structural investments in public safety that are proven to be effective.”
