I want the NYT to do a feature humanizing all the folks cheering for Trump to jump off this mortal coil. I want one of those Buzzfeed-like listicles of the top 20 things Americans will do when they hear Trump finally cacked after stroking out.

Then a follow up of folks willing to talk about all the horrible things they wish upon Vance and Miller.

They haven't truly given vent to the feelings of half this country and it needs to happen.

Call for submissions for another of my curated zines, tentatively titled:

Everyday Antifascism: XX Ways We Keep Each Other Safer

Length: from about 100 to up to 250 words
Deadline: Wed, June 18

Email to: cbmilstein [at] yahoo

Like many of us, I’ve been thoroughly inspired by the innumerable ways that folks in LA have been throwing themselves in imaginative and brave forms of direct action to put neighborly love into practice. They are both helping to melt ICE’s effectiveness through community self-defense and melting our hearts with their substantive solidarity. People are engaging in wholly different social relations, against and (importantly) in contrast to the violence of a militarized occupying force.

There is much to despair about. Fascism is serious. Deadly so. It’s easy to forget that we still have power to act in ways that point beyond fascism, without need for mediating structures like states or nonprofits, and do it daily.

For this next zine, send me a SPECIFIC anecdote/story of an example of “revolutionary solidarity” that inspired you: when people first took a side together (as shorthand, against fascism and for liberation for all), and then put it into side-by-side practice to love and defend each other. I’m seeking anarchistic practices in de-hierarchizing our social relations, in which we’re not only fighting fascism but (crucially) educating ourselves for freedom by freely having each other’s backs, making each other feel tangibly safer, and supplying each other with increasing forms of communal well-being.

The examples don’t need to be during uprising, though I’m looking for those too. (I’m obsessed with reading anecdotes of LA folks taking good, militant care of each other against cops). They can be in everyday life, such as DIY efforts like @foodagainstfascismmtl. I’m hoping for stories of how people remain loud and proud in their antifascism, yet focus their energies on do-it-ourselves safety/solidarity that has no need for cops, states, and other so-called “protectors.”

PLEASE: Do not write directly about illegal things you may allegedly have done.
