bonk bonk bonk bonk what the students say
from columbia uni all the way to LA
let us unify and rise in the coolest way
motherfuck 12 free palestine to the grave
not a single cop deserves a lot of love
use what you got whether acorn or water jug
it's not a clip only bitch it's a life lesson
if you're resourceful anything can be the right weapon

The song has ignited a conversation about whether it's appropriate to make light of the ongoing conflict on campuses and the war in Gaza. For No$hu, it's not only pertinent — it's necessary. In conversation with Mashable, he pointed to a quote by anarchist printer Jack Frager paraphrased from anarcho-feminist icon Emma Goldman’s autobiography Living My Life. "If I can’t dance, I don’t want to be part of your revolution."


AMEN

the revolution must be joyful. we must find the light in the darkness and hold it and squeeze it and make it burn brighter

after getting getting brutalized all night, we ended the night hiding in the bushes heckling the cops about their ugly moustaches and how they weren't loved enough as children. laughing and crying and never forgiving them for their evil and their role in the imperial machine but finding joy in a moment of peace for ourselves

i spent a year on a research project studying the way humour structures and supports fascist belief systems, and the patterns of our humor, of leftists making light and joy and love and resilience instead of the humor of cruelty and domination, that's one of the defining features of how we live with each other that is so unspeakably vital

if you read any chat leaks from fascist orgs, they just aren't funny... they're terrified of one another. humor takes the place of demonstrating their commitment to the unnamable cause of power, of proving their ability to be cruel. humor is about creating meaning and is a deep echo of our beliefs and values, and the act of making hope for each other by laughing together is a beautiful one.

In 2000 we made a giant riot cop #puppet “Officer Friendly”

Why should only the protesters get puppets?

It was weird the way it changed dynamics at demonstrations

Hard to tell if it ever diffused police violence, but it always made them laugh

If you begin a #protest with the cops asking for selfies with you, maybe it makes it harder for them to beat you up?

Fucking great puppet
