Police tried to protect a small group of armed neo-Nazis from angry community members today on a freeway overpass in #Ohio, people managed to push through police as the Nazis escaped in a box truck.
Young people then set fire to a stolen Nazi flag.

The Silicon Valley billionaires & techno-feudal lords who are waging a capitalists' coup right now are rebelling against the people & the "free market" for rejecting them & the tech they need us to become dependent on.

Knowing history right now is both terrifying and hopeful. It provides more understanding of how horrific it can get.
But everywhere you turn there are also stories like this, where everyday people show heroic defiance. They win more often than you might think

Oh my. Hard to pick.
A favorite: the Oath Alliance messenger, a young woman, who ridiculed the Habsburgs' brutal soldiers so thoroughly after they threatened her that she walked out of their camp without a scratch.

![Indeed, there's one story from the late 1400s — even as gender roles and other hierarchies within the federation were becoming more stratified — that show some of this egalitarian defiance. A young woman was acting as a messenger for Oath Alliance militia confronting Habsburg forces. When she walked into the enemy camp the knightly forces threatened her to try to get information. An eyewitness recalled she was unfazed:
“One man asked the girl what the Swiss were doing. She answered, 'don't you see they are awaiting your attack?' Then she was asked how many men they had, to which she replied “just enough to repel your advance.' She added that the [Habsburg forces] could have counted the Swiss in a recent battle before the city gates if flight had not blinded their eyes. She was then asked if the Swiss had enough to eat and drink to which she simply responded 'how are they able to live if they do not eat or drink?'
One of the men then tried to frighten the girl by threatening to decapitate her. She replied “Truly you are a hero to threaten a young maid with death. If you have such a great desire to draw a sword, why don't you throw yourself on the enemy positions? There you will meet an answer to your courage.'”
The Habsburg forces, including hardened mercenaries, were so stunned they let her leave their camp without further harassment.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xslgcpn2b4jjygmowrfvaxtd/bafkreidrpao2in3mpms6weaftpxnt2ciibj4svw64acpzau2jkzsjktb3a@jpeg)

Gavin Kliger, Elon's DOGE hitler youth shutting down USAID, is now indirectly responsible for the deaths of thousands of children. His Instagram appears to be @gkliger. He's scrubbing his online footprint.
