Technically Remembrance Day has ended here, as its past midnight. But all I could think about today was the original antifa, the soldiers who fought the original fascists and the nurses and doctors who treated their wounds. And civilians who had the guts to resist. Remember. Reflect. Adapt for 2025.

But censoring people, removing them from public life, is a massive step towards genocide, and we MUST fight it

Not seeing much on my timeline about it anymore, so here's a reminder: payment processors are still trying to censor NSFW content of all kinds, and are in fact getting more aggressive about it; I'm seeing stories of folks losing access every day
Call them & tell them THIS IS BULLSHIT

Something about the Trump Regime's attempts to pretend history never happened, especially when said history offends their sense of white supremacy, just makes me want to shout about history.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️
