Hi, I’m selling these stickers and will donate 100% of sales to legal fees and bail funds for the Prairieland defendents. I will be sure to post reciepts! $4 each, DM to order, and please help me spread the word!

Trump wants to make an example out of the Prairieland defendants, so we need to make an example out of them in the opposite way. We need to hold them close and not let the state claim they are the "bad protestors" who fought against fascism "inappropriately."

You can tell if a movement is serious by whether or not it abandons its prisoners, especially the "messy" ones. If Trump-era political prisoners are not released after he is removed from office, then the specter of Trump will not be gone.

the best chance the Prairieland anti-ICE protesters have is that we keep their names and their case on our lips as we eventually move to a post-Trump era, that we fight for their pardon as an essential part of departing from fascism.

Federal sentencing has started. Zachary Evetts was just sentenced to 50 years by Chief District Judge Reed O'Connor. Maricela Rueda was just sentenced to 840 months / 70 years by Judge Mark Pittman.

They gave US zinester Elizabeth Soto *50 fucking years* in prison for publishing a zine that supports an anti-fascism stance. Prosecutors also used her feminism themed zine, and an anti-AI zine as evidence against her. This is unprecedented.

One of today's political prisoners. Cartoonist & zine maker Daniel Rolando Sanchez Estrada wasn't even at the ICE protest. He was accused of "moving" a box of anti-Trump zines THE NEXT DAY. A rightwing judge sentenced him to 30 years! Just for possessing zines. The darkness is descending.

A cartoonist named Daniel "Des" Rolando Sanchez Estrada was tried as a terrorist and sentenced to 30 years in prison for having anti-Trump comics in his car. Prosecutors connected him to a 2025 anti-ICE protest he didn't even attend because he was in the same book club as others who were.

Thread of the equipment i use to do all my nsfw zines + merch. It sucks that nsfw artists have to contemplate going underground, but if that's where your at these will be a big help.

Working on my mini zines. I used colored paper on a lot of them which was fun, but took a while to figure out the print colors. Debuting “Making Memories,” at Grid Zine Fest on March 28th, with two different versions.

Two batches of four predominantly orange mini zines stood up on a desk. The pages fan out making a couple starburst or flower shapes. A small mini zine that is peach color held open by three fingers. The two pages read, “Memory is a fascinating thing. / There are some details that stick out, and some that become more nebulous.” There are illustrations around the border: blue and teal abstract organic shapes, a piece of salmon, the letters a through f on a small piece of paper, and some text blocked by a finger.A desk showing a mink zine with folded segments standing up right on top of a paper cutter, and other completed mini zines further in the background near a notebook.
