The Trump election and the subsequent resurgence of the far-right somehow say me embarking on anti-fascist stamp collecting (possibly one of the least militant forms of anti-fascism): mostly stamps form the Republican areas in the Spanish Civil War, alongside Cinderella stamps form their supporters (as well as a few Cinderella stamps produced in support of strike workers from roughly the same era, as a side line). Its lovely to see that I’m not the only one with this reaction, the strange solaces of middle aged men…

I’d like to think the recent issue of forever stamps featuring WPA posters (and fantastic graphic design they are too) here in the US, is the Post Office quietly trolling the incoming administration, though sadly I suspect they been in the pipeline for awhile.
