It’s vital for people across the spectrum to show up and push back against right-wing media distortions. I’ll be marching with veterans, socialists, Democrats, Republicans, LGBTQ friends, parents, grandparents, and those who refuse to bend the knee or silenced #speakup #nokings #fascism #protest
"If Antifa really were a domestic terrorist organization and it really was behind the No Kings event, then the government would not allow the events to take place." The fact that it is allowing them tells you the Antifa stuff is BS. www.thebulwark.com/p/are-you-an...
Are YOU Antifa?

Just watched the #mtg and Tim Dillion podcast. It reminds me of friends I grew up with in the South—individuals who could clearly perceive the structural and ideological weaknesses within the GOP, yet remained tethered to the party out of cultural inheritance or personal history.

Since when was being anti-fascist a bad thing? Seems to me the misnomer ‘Antifa’ is going to be used as a catch all to justify detaining anyone the administration views as a threat. #NewsUpdate #antifa #maga #nokings #duffy #trump #progressive

* Over 20,000 Palestinians killed since January
* 100s starved to death, including kids
* Congress bypassed to send more & more bombs to Israel
* US citizens murdered in the West Bank

I hope this ceasefire holds & I am glad the hostages are free, but this is Trump’s *actual record* so far.
Just in case the dramatically low Leni Riefenstahl-style angle was too subtle, they used a word from her most famous movie

"They're saying this because they want to say that you are Antifa, that you are a terrorist. That they are allowed to come after you. Don't let them get away with this."
