Cindy Milstein (they)<p>If May Day, among other things, is about sharing the “wealth” (aka abolishing capitalism), there’s nothing quite like going to a small but sweet Really Really Free Market on this May 1 and being gifted a sheet of freshly printed stickers that feel just right for these suddenly rebellious times. (After all, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AllComradesAreBeautiful" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AllComradesAreBeautiful</span></a>!) </p><p>Then, soon after, redistributing that “wealth” to others at a nearby May Day rally, made merry because of the danceable tunes of @brassyourheart (which may now have some tiny water jugs on a drum or two because this marching band can <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AlwaysCarryABeat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AlwaysCarryABeat</span></a>!). </p><p>There are so many others reasons, of course, to wear one’s <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ACAB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ACAB</span></a> on their sleeve (or water bottle) this May Day, when so many universities and colleges are liberating spaces of solidarity for Gaza, and in the process, powerfully demonstrating that <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AutonomousCommunitiesAreBeautiful" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AutonomousCommunitiesAreBeautiful</span></a>. </p><p>And likewise, so many police are painfully demonstrating that <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AllCopsAreBrutal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AllCopsAreBrutal</span></a>—underscoring that cop cities (aka policing) everywhere must be abolished, from every river to every sea, just as the Haymarket martyrs also fought and alas died for, in part.</p><p>Next May Day, in liberation!</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CareNotCops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CareNotCops</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CommonsNotCapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CommonsNotCapitalism</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolidarityNotStates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SolidarityNotStates</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TryAnarchismForLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TryAnarchismForLife</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UntilAllAreFree" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UntilAllAreFree</span></a></p><p>(Ongoing love+solidarity to the brave+bold folks at @occupycalpolyhumboldt for gifting the world the joy of a humble water jug vs. cop during their occupation)</p>

Cindy Milstein (they)<p>Housing isn’t affordable anywhere. And gentrification and displacement are phenomena everywhere. At least in what’s called North America. </p><p>So this graffiti could be anywhere and everywhere.</p><p>Yet there’s something particularly heartening when tagging takes on a homespun flair and speaks with a regional vernacular. As if spray paint, in its own humble way, can conjure a sense of place, a sense of home, that can’t be commodified. That in fact, is at cross-purposes with capitalism’s homogenizing logic, where the local vernaculars of how people have built housing for their own use and of their own crafting that fit the social and ecological contexts for millennia get demolished, and in their places rise up profit-based boxes of gray and glass condos.</p><p>So this graffiti, with its down-to-earthness, slang, and misspelling, captures something of the Midwest, including the rust-belt rage over the material abandonment and climate devastation that hit here many decades ago now. Rising rents and hipster art galleries and all the other trappings of this contemporary wave of theft and dispossession have come more slowly here in the flyover land. But make no mistake, it is here too—in this place being remade into a brutal copycat of the “property is theft” that is rearing its head anywhere and everywhere.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MakeArtMakeTrouble" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MakeArtMakeTrouble</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReappropriateOurWorld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ReappropriateOurWorld</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LandBack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LandBack</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HousingForAll" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HousingForAll</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CommonsNotCapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CommonsNotCapitalism</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ArtOfResistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArtOfResistance</span></a></p>
