My new zine is out! Beyond the Concrete Milkshake

My new zine is out! Beyond the Concrete Milkshake is a simple toolkit for dealing with #mediatrolls, grifters and other far-right and fascist fake journalists that target your movement. Protect your #protests and other events without building sympathy for the trolls.
The printed copies are looking dope with the covers done in color on 100lb paper, with art by Birb. These #zines are going out to my top Patrons, family and people who contributed to the contents of the publication.
Want your own copy? DM me or find a link to print your own in my bio. #antifa #BlackLivesMatter #resist

I'm pleased to announce the first edition of the Virtual Gonzo Zine Library. A few times a year, I'll pick some of my favorite #zines that I think everyone should be reading (including me). The Spring 2020 edition has 12 zines, covering everything from mental health, #resiliency and #trauma to ways to resist fascism during a plague. #antifa
Visit my website where I've got all the files for the zines, both for screen #reading and printing. Plus I've recommended some zine creators you should support, like @abolish_time and @clementinemorrigan. There's a link in my bio.

Me and James Peterson (🎅🏻} at the Onion Cree

Me and James Peterson (🎅🏻} at the Onion Creek Park neighborhood holiday party in December 2013. There's a story behind this photo. We spent months doing volunteer relief work and helping the neighborhood better advocate for themselves. Hit up my Twitter for the whole story.
Hugs and fists, we're going to need some of each in the coming year if we're going to stay alive. #↙️↙️↙️ Mostly, we need people power to save each other and the planet from fascism & climate collapse.
Look for ways to help, look for stuff that needs doing, and fucking do it.
Happy holidays, y'all. #🎄 #antifa

I'm very proud of this article that I wrote for #H

I'm very proud of this article that I wrote for #Hemp Magazine about the inequity built into the 2018 Farm Bill. This omnibus bill "legalized" hemp while at the same time perpetuating the War on Drugs and the #racism inherent in it.

I really appreciate Hemp Mag for publishing this important article and keeping the pressure on about this topic. And thanks also to Felicia from Equity First Alliance, Farmer Cee at Green Heffa Farms and Grant from Drug Policy Alliance for your input into this article.

Find a link to the article in my bio or find it in the print magazine too!

Original post from @hempmag:
The USDA is currently accepting comments on its hemp regulations, and one of the most pressing concerns (we
think) is advocating for a narrow interpretation of the so-called "felony ban" included in the hemp amendment of the 2018 Farm Bill. In HEMP Issue 7, Kit O'Connell dove deep into why this "felony ban" is racially discriminatory and what it consequences it will have on the people trying to succeed in the hemp industry. Read more now online.

My latest contribution to HEMP Magazine is out in

My latest contribution to HEMP Magazine is out in the world, so it's time to debut the color version of my author photo, created by Francisco Freeman for the magazine.

Look for my article on the Felony Ban in the 2018 Farm Bill and racial inequity in the hemp industry in Issue 7, which you should be able to find at some Whole Foods and many newsstands.
