I have this one from @justseeds.bsky.social on my door at school

A poster: "Certain inventions in machinery were introduced into the staple manufacturers, which, greatly reducing the number of hands necessary to be employed, threw thousands out of work, and left them without legitinate means of sustaining life.
We petition no more: That won't do - fighting must.
LUDDITES
being a social uprising in the midlands of England between the years of 1811 and 1813
TO PUT DOWN ALL MACHINERY HURTFUL TO THE COMMONALITY!

Mr Burns standing in front of a bookshelf, fist clenched before his chest, speaking the immortal lines "since the beginning of time, man has yearned to destroy the sun. I will do the next best think -- block it out."

Impressed with whoever got this up at the San Juan PR airport

Garbage can in the foreground of an entryway to an airport with a security screening area. There’s a sticker on the other side of the can from the security that says “fuck ICE”

I need to remind people that Soviet propaganda included a multiracial global revolutionary narrative. They did have plenty of square-jawed white dudes, but also stuff like this. So please look elsewhere for your references for the US's extremely narrow racial fetish

Soviet poster of a march consisting of a multiracial coalition of armed mainly men (one women in the second row) in clothing reflecting different nations, the front row is an Asian-looking person with a sling of bullets across their shirt and a wide woven hat, a Castro-looking guy in a buttoned up military shirt and a beard, a square-jawed white guy in overalls, and a Black man with a beret and a neckcloth who looks a bit like a burlier Huey Newton. All of them are locked arms.

A Soviet poster featuring a four men arm-in-arm striding from left to right in front of a silhouette of Moscow, they are smiling and looking around, seeing the sights. A brown man w/a mustache in traditional Mexican(ish) looking embroidered vest over white shirt, red wide fabric belt, neck scarf & long pants w/embroidered down the side; a pinky-white man in embroidered belted tunic (slavic folk style); a dark brown/Black man in a white robe and a red fez-like cap; and a lighter brown Asian man in a tunic and shorter pants and a white pyramid/flat conical hat.

A Soviet poster of a globe with people in different costumes standing around leaning outward from it holding up flags that say in various languages "All Hail the World's October Revolution." (Russian, French, Arabic, Chinese(?), and Spanish all visible). The man front center left is a Russian Peasant, immediately to his right is a Black woman in overalls and behind her to the right is an asian man in a flat military cap.

UCBerkeley (home of the “free speech movement” 🙄) handed to Trump regime names of over 160 professors who have been investigated for “alleged antisemitic incidents.” list includes Judith Butler (who is Jewish) among others. These “prestigious” institutions just crumpling like tissue paper. SHAME

"Copyright vs. Electronic Dance Music: Law as Weaponized Culture" is out! (short piece) Curious how abolitionism, copyright, & club music intersect? Wondering what's significant about so many club musics reusing beats & samples? #singsing #think #amen #dembow #batidamrcatra #triggaman #thehadance

"Electronic Dance Music vs. Copyright: Law as weaponized culture" out now!! text superimposed over images of the amen break, a cracked screen of fruityloops, a mixtape, the movie scene Masters At Work sampled for "The Ha Dance," the "Diwali Riddim Album," a lathe cutter for cutting your own dubplates, a pirate radio tower.

Nice street art out of Nicosia in Cyprus (north side)

An off-white wall, slightly hot marked, with a circular image of a woman’s upper body inside a circle, the background is a hot, orange or yellow, the woman has lined patterns on her face and arms and a two-horned headdress or hair style, she looks rather mythic or Mononoke-esque

Cypriot wobblies!

A kinda beat-up white poster for the Industrial Workers of the World on a marble wall in Nicosia, Cyprus. Text is in greek, except for the IWW seal at the top - there are images of little black cats peeking around the text.

“LAPD can handle 1 10,000 person march, but 10 1000 person marches across the city would [be impossible for] us”

“LAPD can handle 10000 person March but 10 1000 person marches across the city would cripple us” -tweet from syndicalist trash Panda, rting one from Belarus free theater about how protesters and mince have adopted a new tactic, which means the police force can’t keep up.
