I will never not repost this. Even if only one or two people read it, I am filled with a kind of anti-fascist zeal whenever I encounter it. You don’t need or want the approval of those who stand by and watch. They are collaborators and you are not.

I having a lovely time with a friend in the local coffee shop until a couple came in with their photographer for their engagement photo shoot. Every space in America is now a money-making, content-creation space. Capitalism sucks.

In today’s episode of tech-driven, unpaid labor…It took three attempts and thirty minutes to fill out a medical intake form. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Why I still think it’s a bad idea to in any way engage with legacy media (except via screenshot). Don’t feed the fascist normalization beast.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Yesterday, the pharmacists at the local Rite Aid said they are 60% off their usual mark for flu vaccine. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I’m sorry but Jack Schlossberg’s sudden departure from social media is giving Joaquin Phoenix’s “I’m quitting acting forever” vibes (Harvard Law edition). He’ll be back.

Let’s be 100% clear: Bluesky isn’t immune to shenanigans from foreign intelligence. I blocked this clown and anyone else insisting that resistance to fascism has to mean throwing women, POC, queers and everyone else under the bus because “no war but class war” is code for dividing the resistance.

Interesting to see how quickly American foreign policy pivoted from "Get clean drinking water for children without hope" to "Do ethnic cleansing for condos with Mediterranean views."

Anyone see that barn burner of a speech Jill Stein just gave in response to Trump’s ethnic cleansing real estate deal? Joking, of course. Her role is only to help the Kremlin once every four years. Suckers. 🤷‍♂️

The “Stand Tall Monday” mass strike by Latino workers in Florida yesterday can provide a blueprint for public resistance to the fascist oligarchy going forward.

Teaching a course right now called Freedom of Speech. Students are completely engrossed to the point of wanting more conversation after our time ends. There’s definitely a hunger for knowledge as it relates to fundamental rights and how to recreate a functional public sphere.

To be fair, I’d settle for every 20 minutes. That’s five more minutes for an exit strategy.

Given how inflationary the Turd Reich’s tariffs will be, the phrase “they’re eating the dogs, they’re eating the cats” was apparently also a key economic policy announcement (as opposed to just another racist dog whistle).

Former paper of record, now Ivy League dumpster fire, hedging with dehumanizing Nazi agenda. Shocking, I say. Shocking.

Astonishingly good. As soon as I put it down, I’m thinking about the next time I’ll have a few minutes to pick it back up.
