The Relationship Is Over
We’re done with pretending. The United States has become a violent, authoritarian dumpster fire propped up by capitalism, white supremacy, and bootlicking. This brand — this art — does not serve the empire.
The official relationship between TURNIP TEEZ and the U.S. as a state is over.
But we know something else:
Some of our most powerful supporters — queer, creative, furious, and fabulous — are trapped inside that mess. You’re the resistance. And you’re exactly who we want to serve.
Introducing the Fascist State Surcharge
All U.S.-based orders now include a Resistance Infrastructure Fee — an automatic $15 CAD added to support:
-
💻 New tech + production tools for TURNIP TEEZ (first up: a new computer so we can keep creating)
-
🏗️ Expansion of independent infrastructure — no more relying on U.S.-based printing
-
🌈 Support for queer artists, anti-fascist community projects, and activist content
This isn’t a punishment.
It’s a tax on empire.
It’s a fund for freedom.
Who We DO Ship To (U.S. Edition)
If you’re in the U.S. and you’re:
-
Pro-queer
-
Anti-fascist
-
Anti-police state
-
Fighting from the inside
Welcome. You’re exactly who we’re here for.
Who We DON’T Ship To
-
Cops, racists, and flag-humpers
-
Government agencies, military contractors, and anyone who uses the word “patriot” unironically
-
Bootlickers, billionaires, or basic bros
If that’s you? Keep your filthy dollars. We’re not interested.
