Building, breaking, rebuilding: Punk Planet, Year Nine
Seeing Chicago stand up against ICE this week reminded me of why I love this city so much, and gave me a focal point for a reflection on the 50th issue of Punk Planet, which was dedicated to the city.

I wrote about Trump, the oligarchy, media, hiding German anti-fascist texts in seed packets, and how it's up to us now to get information out.

My most recent notes
I write a lot of notes in shortform social apps like Threads, Mastodon, and Bluesky. I also capture them on this site, so the platforms don't control my stuff. Here are a few. You can always look at my notes page for more.
