A photo of an image projected onto the front of an old New England Greek Revival style church, white, clapboard, steeple with clock, and columns, in Williamstown, MA. The image is of a print of the Statue of Liberty’s face and spiky crown, her expression defiant, in black, with green, blue, and red behind her. Beneath the image is a line printed in yellow reading LET FREEDOM RING. There is a small crowd visible standing in the foreground, with the remainder standing out of the view of my camera.

Lesson 13 of "On Tyranny": Practice corporeal politics.
Find your No Kings protest, June 14th.
Text card, reads: "Practice corporeal politics. Power wants your body softening in your chair and your emotions dissipating on the screen. Get outside. Put your body in unfamiliar places with unfamiliar people. Make new friends and march with them."

Thank you @indivisible.org and @sarahdohl.bsky.social "Fascists depend on convincing us to give our power away and fall in line, that the fight is over, and we lost... we must not do the fascists’ work for them by giving them powers they do not have." indivisibleteam.medium.com/courage-is-c...

This is so bad
Tweet from the Anti-Defamation League, or ADL: This is a delicate moment. It's a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety. It seems that @elonmusk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge. In this moment, all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath. This is a new beginning. Let's hope for healing and work toward unity in the months and years ahead. 5:52 PM • Jan 20, 2025

Showing up for immigrants and trans kids, fighting back against cuts to Social Security, and calling out kleptocratic giveaways to corrupt billionaires are all the morally right things to do. You’ll get to tell your grandkids about how you fought in this moment.
