Jacket patch from the Subhumans show last night in San Francisco. Poor quality due to the lighting, but it shows a moomin and other characters with a bolt cutter and reads: No Camps. No Cages. Fuck a border. Fuck a prison.

Yeh, seems impossible that so many have fallen for this scam. But, then again, look how many Filipinos who lived through the brutal Marcos dictatorship voted for his son Bongbong.

Today in Labor History October 26, 1926: Augusto Sandino took up arms against the Nicaraguan state and the U.S. military that was occupying Nicaragua. Sandino had been living in exile in México during the early 1920s, where he participated in strikes led by the IWW. Inspired by the IWW, he adopted the IWW's black & red colors for the Sandinista flag. One of the original Sandinista army manifestos read, “It is better to be killed as a rebel than to live on as a slave.” The U.S. didn’t withdraw its troops until 1933, when Juan Sacasa took over as president. Sacasa named Anastasio Somoza head of the hated Guardia Nacional. Sacasa met privately with Sandino and won his support. However, Sandino continued to call for the dismantling of the Guardia Nacional. Somoza assassinated him in 1934. After that, the Somoza dynasty ruled Nicaragua until the FSLN (the modern Sandinista Nation Liberation Front) overthrew them in 1979. #workingclass #LaborHistory #Nicaragua #sandino #sandinista #Revolution #IWW #anarchism #socialism #imperialism

Today in Labor History October 26, 1889: The Ukrainian anarchist general Nestor Makhno was born in Huliaipole,. Makhno led a large insurrectionary army of peasants and helped defeat the reactionary White armies. His Black Army ultimately liberated and held onto the Free Territory within Ukraine, known as Makhnovia, from 1918 to 1921. It was a stateless, anarchist society that was defended by the Black Army. Roughly 7 million people lived in the area. The peasants who lived there refused to pay rent to the landowners and seized the estates and livestock of the church, state and private landowners, setting up local committees to manage them and share them among the various villages and communes of the Free State. His uprising was eventually crushed by Trotsky. Makhno died in exile in Paris, July 25, 1934. #workingclass #LaborHistory #MestorMakhno #anarchism #ukraine #russia #communism #trotsky #alexanderberkman #Makhnovia #Revolution #insurrection

Trump administration cancels annual hunger report after enacting historic cuts to nation’s safety net. Maybe he thinks voters won't notice their own hunger if they can't read about it? More likely, he just wants to make it harder for the media, and for NGOs to report on the effects of the cuts and then he'll just blame immigrants, trans folks, anti-genocide protesters, and Democrats. https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/21/health/hunger-reports-usda
