Liz Soto and Savanna Batten are 2 of those sentenced to 50 years in prison for Prairieland. I visited them in a north Texas jail—11 months into their incarceration over a July 4 noise demo—to meet the Trump admin’s “Antifa terrorists”. from behind glass, Soto said, “They didn’t like my book club.”

I’ve been sitting on this really cool historical document about life in Indigenous 16th century Appalachia for seven years. Since today is Indigenous People’s Day, I’m going to translate it and put it on my website instead of waiting for the perfect moment.

Imagine interviewing a guy about some shitty unbuilt dam in Colorado and he just eloquently lays out the whole of US history in this snappy little quote. King shit.

It wasn't the vision and principles of our forefathers that made this country great. It was the huge unused bonanza they found here. One wave of
immigrants after another could оссиру new land, new land, new land. There was topsoil, water—there was gold, silver, and iron ore lying right on top of the earth. We picked our way through a ripe orchard and made it bare.

This is fascinating (and a bummer). My research looks at how anarchists and other Gilded Age radicals brought revolutionary ideals into their intimate lives through sex radicalism and free love. At the time, free love was seen as v dangerous to the status quo. And now?

The whole “don’t speak ill of the dead” rhetoric almost exclusively serves old white people in power. There’s no decorum afforded to regular people who die. It’s open season on regular people who die in newsworthy fashions — particularly coming up with reasons they deserved it
