If we divided the wealth of this one man and distributed it equally to all Americans, that would be $300 each; enough for every man woman and child to have their own Nintendo switch.

A man named Wynn Alan Bruce used self immolation (settings oneself on fire) in front of the Supreme Court to protest government inaction on fighting climate change. This method of protest was made famous by Buddhists monks protesting the atrocities of the Vietnam War. Our Earth will be destroyed because saving it is not profitable. The government will not make the news of this man’s sacrifice and its reason well known, they don’t want it to be known. Destroy capitalism, save the earth. Rest in power Wynn.
Emmanuel Poiré (nom de plume Caran d’Ache), Les désmarches, 1902, printed in L’assiette au beurre (“The butter dish”), a pre-World War I Parisian satirical weekly that featured many bold, full-page cartoons and illustrations alongside pointed satire and commentary by some of the leading writers of the French anarchist movement.
New Arrivals: An attractive copy of MCKINLEY’S ASSASSINATION FROM THE ANARCHIST PERSPECTIVE (ca.1907), by Voltairine De Cleyre.
Brief essay on the mental and moral nature of both William McKinley and his assassin Leon Czolgosz, asking the question: “who was the martyr: McKinley or Czolgosz?”. Separate edition of an essay which originally appeared in the October, 1907 issue of Mother Earth. This is presumably the same leaflet that is noted by detective Louis Dolmas as having been distributed at a Boston lecture by Emma Goldman, titled “Direct Action as the Logical Tactic of Anarchism,” in November of 1907 (see Falk, Emma Goldman: A Documentary History of the American Years, v.1 p.258). Rare.
