Today we published four creative works on The Catalyst. From poems to death metal—each piece proudly defies the violence enacted on Black, Brown, and Indigenous people globally by the United States Empire. Check them out here:

There is absolutely nothing a human being can do to deserve being put in a concentration camp. Alligator Auschwitz is a moral catastrophe.

Contribute your work to our advocacy campaign this abhorrent political project.

We launched a campaign on The Catalyst to show solidarity with Los Angeles protesters against ICE.

Submissions have been compiled into zine to raise funds for our local Rapid Response Network. Within, you’ll find pieces like this one created by @blackmedu5a (IG).

The Dyke Project – a collective of cis, trans & nonbinary lesbians – unleashed disruptions at a trans-exclusionary lecture

“The real threat is people, like those on the panel, who are using the banner of feminism and lesbianism to promote conservative values & align themselves with the far-right”
We watched activists disrupt a ‘gender-critical’ meeting dressed as clowns

I am begging everyone to please make a pledge to refuse to be demagogued again re "crime" and "law and order." Let this be the last time you fall for the bullshit.

It is extremely frustrating as a disabled owned fledgling indie press to see Paul Castle take advantage of indie authors who likely feel aligned with him because of shared lived experience.

The horrors may be never ending, but we still have art to contain it and imagine a world beyond it.

Art, care work, and movements for liberation are intertwined. Children’s books hold liberatory potential!

Come join @ollycostello.bsky.social, Keisa Reynolds, and me TODAY to talk about this stuff and more.

In response to the militarized reactions to the Los Angeles protests against ICE, we launched a flash campaign on our blog The Catalyst to show solidarity.

This piece, Resonant Silence, is from artist Evyn Jordan. You can find more of Evyn’s art on Instagram @ewjord.

The man who assassinated Rep. Hortman & shot Sen. Hoffman may or may not be a police officer. It doesn’t matter. What matters is you recognize sooner rather than later that the man who took those actions is not an outlier.

“I cannot march. I cannot fight directly. But I can keep my hearth fire going so that torches may be lit from it. Keep the Fire Lit.”

In response to the militarized reactions, we launched a flash campaign to show solidarity.

“Keep The Fire Lit” is a fiber arts piece created by Hawksong Weaving.

My most controversial take?

If you care about resisting fascism then you must be willing to sacrifice the freedom and comfort of individualism for the BURDEN that is community.

You must unlearn the idea that to be a burden to each other is to be weak or a liability. To be a burden is to be alive

A reminder that private prison companies contributed more than $1 million to Trump's reelection.

The CEO of GEO Group, one of the two biggest private detention corporations, said his company could make $400 million more every year under Trump in partnership with ICE.
