Don't Despair, Act

thank you for posting that.

I think I will feelingdespair for at least a week and I hope I can come up with something productive to do after that.

Should I make shirts that say "Can't wait for the assassination!" ? or "Can't wait for the revolution" ?

all the more reason defiance is needed. I knew about their LJ shit. I know for a fact that I have an FBI file already, courtesy of my being one of an anarchist group whose phones were tapped and were stalked as we tried to help remove a military enlistee from Bosnia on grounds of conscientious objection.
