This is the new hashtag to spread. And the new idea to spread as well. #NEVERAGAINISNOW. The time to prepare is over. BE PREPARED NOW!!! Organize now. Find communities now.

Post by Aviva Dautch that reads: "I've seen several tweets comparing this to Nazis/The Holocaust and saying things like 'this is how it begins". I teach Holocaust Literature so let me be clear--this ISN'T how it began. This is already several stages along the way. #NeverAgainIsNow"

Description of what President JQ Adams (after he was President) did and said in defense of the Amistad captives before the Supreme Court in 1841, reminding them, and us, that deporting them before trial would be "one of the most odious acts of tyranny..." And he won the case, setting precedent.

Saw something today I must agree with and share...
#Women who support Trump ignore the #sexism so they can enjoy and support the #racism.
A female MAGA supporter standing at roadside in full regalia and denim shorts and waving a TRUMP 2024 flag while screaming at passing motorists. Four wealthy "TRUMPETTES" dressed to the hilt and bejewelled, all smiles, in a luxury apartment filled with gilt-edged windows and antiqued columns and expensive rugs.

Meme of multiple images of TFG laughing his head off--almost literally--while including a post from Tristan Snell that reads "The Republican tax bill is here. It does NOT ban taxing on tips. It does NOT ban taxing overtime. It does NOT ban taxing Social Security. Trump LIED to you--ya'll got PLAYED."

Those who preach MOCKERY never studied history.
You cannot defeat fascism through cynicism.
We learned that in the 1930s.
You fight fascism with HARD TRUTHS.
AND YOU FIGHT IT UNTIL IT DIES. No matter the cost.

Lengthy news story with the headline"Trump Evicts Stroke Victim, 74" showing two photos, one of "Mary Filan, resting at Parson Hospital" and one of a very obnoxious looking "Donald Trump" The news story describes how Ms. Filan was forcibly removed from her home for not paying rent, but that she had been paying her rent on time.

If anyone wants to wish “him” dead, imagine what takes his place… Then, if “that one” is dead, what takes “his” place. This isn’t fairyland yet. We have an order to things, still. And “they” will take advantage of that order. Right down to the last WHITE MAN. 🧵

Sorry, a longer 🧵
I’ve run across posts asking, “Is he dead yet?” & I’d suggest there is a significant misunderstanding being expressed.
“He” is only a symptom or a figurehead representing a greater problem. If we ask this question sincerely perhaps it should be, “ARE THEY DEAD YET?"

We stood in front of this building, as we did last week, holding our #INDIVISIBLE signs, getting lots of support from the people walking and driving by for more than 2 hrs and no one came out to photograph or ask a single question. Nor did any other local press.
Gee, I wonder why?

THANK GOODNESS!!! After "Darth Jar Jar" "Coachella" and "Timberwolves," yesterday's "NO KINGS" protest JUST BARELY beat out "WrestleMania" on #BluSkys #Trending boards. Would have been a shame to see them come in dead last, huh?
At least we beat out EASTER EGG HUNTS!!!

Only in my teens in the 60s, sorry. Celebrated 61 years “fighting fascism” in streets last week. HANDS OFF rally. Worked the underground press. Marched civil rights, anti-nuke anti-war in puberty. But we’ve never had a fascistic gov’t yet. Want to see one of my mug shots?

You watch basketball & “White Lotus” with your nose pasted in a phone on Amazon or Facebook instead of boycotting them. You expect someone in Congress to “do something” when you have no idea how powerless they are after you, collectively, have taken their power away.
WHY DON’T YOU DO SOMETHING?

#AColorADayPril HOLY COLOR WHEEL, CATWOMAN! At first I didn't think I had a #navyblue image in my vast collection. Then I came across a false dark #navy in a night image of a possum eating, a true dark on the cover of Gass' book, finally true #navy in Franz Marc's painting of "Blue Horses"
WHEW
a chubby mamma possum in a small clearing in the woods early at night stopping to eat some cracked corn that has been left out for critters the cover of a paperback edition of William Gass' book ON BEING BLUE: A Philosophical Inquiry (Introduction by Michael Gorra) that has a photo of a woman in a very plain pleated dress, with her arms, shoulders and neck exposed, her arms raised and crossed to cover her face. A photo of the large painting by Franz Marc "Blue Horses" showing three (or perhaps four) massive blue horses wandering across an idyllic field of green and yellow against striking red mountains and through what seems to be bare, white, thin tree trunks.
