    I sold a kid a zine once for twenty bucks
    cash in a bar napkin
    said it was about
    he didn't ask what kind.

    You ever see a mutual aid spreadsheet
    with 47 columns and a grand total of
    zero dollars in the bank?

    That's not incompetence.
    That's a strategy.

    The first time I watched a cop car
    roll up to a protest
    I thought,
    The second time I thought,

    The third time I just
    lit a cigarette and waited.

    BAIL MATH, ACT 1


    Do you know what a "no contact" order means?
    Not the kind where you just don't call--
    the kind where you disappear.
    Not the kind where you pay a lawyer--
    the kind where you .

    I've seen it done with duct tape and a burner phone.
    I've seen it done with a knife and a train ticket.
    I've seen it done with a
    and a stack of fake ID.

    LESSON: If you're not the one who can't afford bail,
    you're still the one who can get locked up.
    Cool. Who's going to jail for that plan?

    Volunteer list--
    one name at the top of every email.
    No one else?

    Midnight comms--
    same three people typing frantic.
    Burn rate: 100%.

    The organizer
    collapses at the last demo.
    Who's running now?

    EXIT WOUND


    There once was a radical bright,
    who posted and then took flight.
    Their last tweet was fine--
    but the exit was sine
    and no one saw them take flight.

    VISIBILITY TRAP


    - You can't win if you're the only one
    who knows the plan.
    - A leak isn't just bad luck--
    it's a feature of bad ops.
    - If your protest has a hashtag
    but no bail fund,
    you're just content for the cops.
    - Posting a flyer is easy.
    Posting a safe flyer?
    That's a skill.

    LEAK SURFACE


    We stored the list on a Google Doc,
    password was *'revolution123'*.
    The feds had it by 3 AM.
    Guess who got the call?

    Not the cop.
    Not the snitch.
    The kid who trusted the group chat
    like it was a fucking family.

    THE LAST SHOW


    They ran the sound.
    They ran the merch.
    They ran the
    until the whole damn thing ran them.

    Now they're in a van,
    driving to Portland,
    with a duffel bag full of stolen time
    and a one-way ticket to nowhere.

    That's not failure.
    That's .
