The Nuclear Summer has recently learned that our friend and comrade, Saab Lofton, has come under attack by a disgruntled and obsessed right-wing "critic".

In this struggle against the forces of reaction, capitalism, and empire, let it be known that The Nuclear Summer stands firmly behind Saab Lofton and his "Battle Neverending".

Saab's body of work stands on its own as a testament of his dedication to the movement. Be wary of those who would attack a person's character, rather than the issue at hand.

We all have a niche to fill in the struggle against capitalism and the state. Through writing, Saab has found his niche. Out to prove that "the pen is mightier than the sword," Saab has dedicated his life to the work he knows needs to be done, often at great personal hardship. We should all hope Saab continues his heroic struggle for a better world.
