Part One: Ben Passmore on Black History

Some of my favorite podcasters went to Minneapolis. The regular news is not covering any of this properly-- but these folks know what they're talking about.

Both are experienced with mutual aid activities such as the hurricane relief efforts in North Carolina, or feeding and helping refugees down at the border in places like Arizona. (One also has a doctorate in history focused on the Spanish Civil War, so knows a few things about how people fight fascism.) The border work is particularly relevant because they've been seeing Border Patrol act like ICE for years-- out in the boonies where hardly anyone is watching-- and now the brutality is finally becoming more apparent to previously comfortable white folks in cities.

This is an excellent description of what's really going on in the places that are getting hit hard right now, and how people are responding-- and, moreover, what WORKS. Decentralized, spontaneous, autonomous organizing that's springing out of the woodwork!

If you want a clearer idea of how this shit can be handled, how communities react, and so on, this is the kind of coverage we need.

(They finished these episodes just 9hrs before Alex Pretti was executed.)

Everyone vs ICE: On the Ground In Minnesota - Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff

Margaret and James reflect on their time in Minnesota, the incredible community response to the immigration raids, and what other communities can learn from the Twin Cities.

Après avoir beaucoup aimé L’agneau égorgera le lion, il me tardait de retrouver ses personnages dans Les morts posséderont la Terre de Margaret Killjoy, chez Argyll dans la collection RéciFs.
Et c’était vraiment très bien! Dévoré d’une traite, prise par l’intrigue haletante et l’ambiance parfaitement réussie, j’ai adoré ce second opus des mésaventures de Danielle Cain et ses potes anarchistes qui prennent ici tout à fait l’allure d’un Scooby-gang version punk. Sous couvert d’une histoire fantastico-horrifique qui tabasse, Margaret Killjoy donne aussi à réfléchir sur pas mal de sujets, mêlant habilement tragique et divertissement.
Vivement la suite!

Preorder Promo ⌛💥 Order "The Immortal Choir Holds Every Voice" before June 3rd and your copy will include an exclusive bookplate signed by the author! https://firestorm.coop/products/22746-the-immortal-choir-holds-every-voice-danielle-cain-3.html

We're just a little more than a month away from the release of @margaret 's next book and maybe like us, you've been waiting patiently for the last seven years to read this third title in the Danielle Cain series—or maybe you're a fan of Margaret's podcast but haven't yet gone in for the deep cuts. Either way, this book is for you! (We recommend going back to read the other two books in the series, but you can jump in anywhere.)

Trolls, lost comrades, murder faeries, small town punks, riot queers, and some fancy magic to boot, "The Immortal Choir" packs three intense short stories into a hundred pages. And in true Margaret Killjoy fashion, it blends dark fantasy, wry humor, and earnest reflections on friendship, self-discovery, and trying to change the world.

Danielle Cain arrive dans la ville de Freedom, qui est squattée par des anarchistes. Elle essaie de comprendre ce qui est arrivé à son meilleur ami, qui s'est suicidé après son départ de la ville.
Freedom est sous la protection d'un cerf rouge qui a été invoqué mais celui-ci a l'air de se retourner contre ses invocateurs...

Après ma lecture de "Un pays de fantômes", j'avais très envie de lire à nouveau cette autrice.
Je suis entrée facilement dans cette histoire. Danielle est un personnage qui m'a immédiatement plue. J'ai aussi adoré la petite bande de Freedom (spécialement ).
Les événements s'enchaînent vite (c'est un tout petit roman de 128 pages), l'autrice nous laisse avec quelques zones d'ombre mais on repart avec une bande plutôt soudée. C'est comme le pilote d'une série. Je n'ai pas été trop frustrée par la fin mais j'ai hâte de lire la suite !

Wie kommt ihr runter, nach einem Tag voller neuer faschismusfreundlicher Schreckensmeldungen?

Ich freue mich über Margaret Killjoys dystopische Berichte aus 2055. Genetisch nachgebildete Dinos im Kampf gegen Nazi-Zombies scheinen mir eine vollkommen angebrachte Realitätsflucht.

Wo finde ich jetzt Mx🐰🔪 -Merch?

Book Review: Margaret Killjoy’s THE IMMORTAL CHOIR HOLDS EVERY VOICE

THE IMMORTAL CHOIR HOLDS EVERY VOICE is a thoughtful love-letter to those we have lost in the good fight, and a call-in for us survivors to look for little flashes of love and magic when the going …
