Ideas and their fear of such ideas is what led them to materially build a wall in 1906. This and intelligence are some of their greatest fears.

Bass saying that the raids in LA aren't "as bad" when boots on the ground reporting says otherwise...history will remember the fascist collaborators as well.

Reading "From Caligari to Hitler" by Marxist sociologist and film critic, Kracauer and I come upon Nosferatu. Haven't watched the remake but the fact that the remake came out in 2024 would be of no coincidence to him. Oh, how history moves in a spiral 🌀

Someone tell the Democratic Party that fascism is, in fact, a kitchen table issue

I will always be suspicious of and find it downright lazy when academics or whomever, names a fascist ideology by a Leftist ideology. Ahistorical! fascists have never dabbled in intelligence and they get their grift by co-opting and perverting leftist theoretical frameworks. I vehemently refuse!

Marginalized folks know TONE and LANGUAGE CHOICE are only part of what’s being communicated. But those in the power majority are accustomed to spaces that value and demand the faux nicety of polite tones no matter the core message being shared. To them, sounding angry makes you wrong in any event.

this is the level of funding where all the possibilities for American politics that have been described as hyperbolic over the past decades - the comparisons to Nazi Germany and other nightmares of the 20th century - become logistically possible and politically likely

Today I met the great-nephew of M.H. Maxy as we spoke about art, resistance, artistic strategies and of course...TaTa DADA, Tristan Tzara, and the lit magazine as a weapon; all while he took my portrait.

We have to keep dreaming through night(day)mare!
