News: The Onion is launching the new Infowars July 2. After years of legal wrangling and months of maneuvering by Alex Jones's lawyers to block its takeover, the Sandy Hook families are finally getting their first check... from The Onion. www.ms.now/news/onion-s...

The Onion says it will sidestep courts to launch Infowars and pay Sandy Hook families
The Onion’s staff is tired of waiting for the courts to settle its pending takeover of Alex Jones’ brand, so the new Infowars will launch next month.

One of my favorite parts of the Thanksgiving parade is seeing how folks show up. The Civic Federation had a loosely decorated SUV with two folks in it, windows up like they’re just passing through. The Renters Alliance had a bunch of folks and brought the energy. Bonus Flash bus because I love it.

Happy May 1st. The value of your labor belongs to you and the actions of the state are best understood as as a coordinated effort to distract you from this. The state fears an organized and unified proletariat like it fears death and rightly so. Power to the workers and power to the people
