This is me, in the black tank top, dancing with a sign I had picked up from an earlier protest. My handmade “Always Antifascist” sign was left behind as I was lugging the large sound system you see behind us.
Thanks for getting this exhilarating moment of resistance 😉

OUR MOVEMENT. We on the political left need to focus on building our movement, and NOT waste our breath trying to convince diehard Trump supporters — who have abandoned truth and logic long ago in favor of loyalty.

Pope Francis made me at least a little bit prouder of my Irish Catholic family background.
Vance didn’t have to kill him, you know?
I protested this past weekend at Vance’s house, with my kids and 200 other folks.
I didn’t need one, but now I have ONE MORE reason to detest the VP 😉

Bending truth like it is made of rubber. Lies upon lies. His “flood the zone” is flooding our collective capacity to even detect or deflect the lies. It is draining even to continue to thwart this nonsense. The best strategies right now are organize for revolution, or escape.

The people who think Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a criminal are the same people who believed that migrants were “eating the dogs, they’re eating the pets.” They will believe whatever Trump says. Very sad.

Turkey is rising up against fascist President Erdogan, who not only arrested his political opponent, Ekrem Imamoglu, but had Imamoglu’s college degree revoked. President Trump meanwhile has pressured Columbia University to revoke college degrees for Gaza protesters, which it did.

IRL = IN REAL LIFE. As Trump Fascism sets in, why aren’t more people resisting IRL? The average person in the US spends 7 hours per day on screens.
If you want to join the resistance, doing something IRL is a great way to start.

The idea of “social murder” is super useful, and we need to get comfortable using it. Engels is the best, man - reading him feels like finally acknowledging the obvious reality everyone wants you to ignore
![Engels on 'Social Murder'
When one individual inflicts bodily injury upon another, such injury that death results, we call that deed manslaughter; when the assailant knew in advance that the injury would be fatal, we call this deed murder.
But when society places hundreds of proletarians in such a position that they inevitably meet a too early and an unnatural death, one which is quite as much a death by violence as that by the sword or the bullet; when it deprives thousands of the necessaries of life, places them under conditions in which they cannot live - forces them ... to remain in such conditions until that death ensues which is the inevitable consequence - knows that these thousands of victims must perish, and yet permits these conditions to remain, its deed is murder just as surely as the deed of the single individual ...
Engels, The Condition of the Working Class in England (1845 [1967]), p. 126 (Panther Press)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jfcht3gt62twn3r32e7bziq4/bafkreifeiogd6watrjgxqrzfsfrujyv4765jeh4why7my2rl76nbnqr5xu@jpeg)
