The march in Alabama that I mentioned the other day is part of a nation-wide day of action. Here’s some more for my Minnesota peoples. Laura Johnson Jose Rivera

There’s a big, exciting month coming up for ALL Distro. Help me make it happen!

ALL Distro insane mostly-Southern tour schedule for October: 4 weekend tabling events — one every weekend of this month — one Anarchist bookfair, and one research stop at the Labadie Collection archive. Travel expenses: approx. $874. Working up a help-us-stay-on-the-road donations blog post as we speak.

Dear LazyWeb: I am looking for large-format images that convey the idea of social experimentation or deep personal exploration. (No animated GIFs, James Tuttle. Also, SFW please!) Help?

This is a damn shame. (I wish we all could have gotten a bit more of that “government shutdown” we keep hearing about. But narcs never have budget problems, because the idiotic and destructive War on Drugs trumps everything else.) http://gizmodo.com/feds-seize-silk-road-everybodys-favorite-illegal-drug-1440172693 If there is any hope here, it’s to remember that Silk Road was just a start, and although it made heavy use of decentralized technologies (Tor, Bitcoin), it was ultimately a centralized web service. A stationary target which, eventually, the narcs were going to find. It looks like it will go down as the Napster of online black markets. Now, the question is, what’s going to become the BitTorrent?

Seriously, please shut down more government. Start here.

Good. “More cops” means more violence and harassment on Las Vegas streets. It’s bad enough to hike the sales tax, which disproportionately burdens the poorest and most marginalized with paying for local government. Here the proposal was not only to inflict higher costs of living on the poor, but to do so specifically so that they could be forced to pay for more of the police who abuse and oppress them. The Clark County Commission ought to be ashamed that they even considered such a measure, and there is nothing but good in the fact that they failed to pass it.
