this weekend is the 99th anniversary of the railroading & execution of Sacco and Vanzetti, 2 local Italian-American immigrant anarchists
if you're looking for a group activity that day, the Sacco & Vanzetti Commemoration Society is hosting an online prison-letter-writing party

a fantastic piece on the importance of zines
"That refusal to let dominant institutions define the narrative is central to the Blackberry Zine Collective, a group of Baltimore-based artists who see zines as both counter-history and living archive."

just a friendly reminder that there are over 8bn of us on the planet, with our hopes, dreams, and desires.
no one should be so powerful that they can change the conditions of a dozen people's lives without their direct ok-- let alone millions.

today i learned:
in 1906, Luigi Galleani (an anarchist fugitive living under a fake name in Vermont) got into a flame war with NYC's socialist Giacinto Serrati-- with the two criticizing each other in their respective newspapers.
(Each was an editor. Galleani edited the influential Italian-language anarchist newspaper Cronaca Sovversiva-- aka the Subversive Chronicles. Serrati published the socialist Il Proletario)
Who won the public argument? Depends who you ask-- but seems like the loser was Serrati, who, in a fit of spite, published Galleani's address and alias (remember, he was a fugitive). Galleani was quickly arrested by the police, who were monitoring both papers.

as an alternative to amazon, how about Massive Bookshop?
all books are 10-20% off list price. they offer free shipping if you order 2 or more
and all proceeds go to a bail fund in Western Mass.
