ICYMI, fighting fascism works by improv rules.
Yes AND.
Don't waste your energy or their enthusiasm by telling someone they are doing it wrong.

So...because a few thousand people want to live better than any person in most of human history could possibly conceive, we're all gonna die?
And the normies are cool with this?
I feel fairly confident that almost everyone reading this is not. So I ask you once again.
It's 1933 again. WTF are we going to do about it?!?
How do we convince the people starting to realize that #fascism is a problem that #billionaires and #oligarchs are the root cause that needs to be yanked out?
👨🌾 👩🌾
I'm thinking that we need to use #art as a weapon & deploy clever art installations, signs, stickers & chalk art in public places.
Got any other suggestions besides the also important protests, pressure on elected officials, boycotts & union support?
What about examples or ideas for #ActivistArt? Want to join an artist's federation or start your own #ArtFED?

"It takes a village, but not everyone is in your village. That's ok.
Cobble your village together from the smoldering wreckage of the city or country around you.
This is the essence of mutual aid and will be more crucial than ever. Mutual aid isn't just giving money to the friend whose city burnt down before yours.
Share your knowledge. Share your wisdom & your fears. Share your compassion. Share your joy and your tears. Share your skills & yes, even your bills."

I've been inspired to finally seed my local Little Free Libraries with antifascist literature and radical zines.

Be a #Fedipunk & be there for each other.
In fascism, culture is not your friend.

"There needs to be a word for rejection of #enshittified corporate tech in favour of open tech with no agenda beyond its nominal function.
The term 'neo-Luddism' doesn't feel right.
Any suggestions?"
@flockofnazguls
Original thread that brought up a couple options. I like that #FediPunk also includes supporting #Fediverse artists. What do you think?

Has anyone read "They Thought They Were Free"? I haven't, but I just saw it mentioned & looks like I should.
"They Thought They Were Free: The Germans 1933-45 is a 1955 nonfiction book written by Milton Mayer, published by the University of Chicago Press. It describes the thought process of ordinary citizens during Nazi Germany.
August Heckscher, the chief writer of editorials of the New York Herald Tribune, wrote that the book "suggests how easy it is for human beings in any society to fall prey to a dynamic political movement, provided their lives are sufficiently insecure, frustrated or empty."[1] He stated that the book is simultaneously a discussion on ethics, on "how political tyranny is established", and on issues in Germany and the "German mentality".[1]"

I wasn't joking about wiping tears to go into work. That's in addition to the knots in my stomach.
Y'all have probably seen me post about my friend @SabiLewSounds and her dire straights. Hurricane #Milton has elevated her situation to life-threatening.
If a cat 4 or 5 hurricane was staring me down, my family would already be packed up and about to hit the road. #MyWhitePrivilege has even asked, "Why didn't those people leave?" before.
How are you supposed to evacuate when you have no money, an elderly mom with dementia, a bunny & a car with no a/c?
Not to mention having to leave your guitar and only worldly possessions in a hotel that may not be there in a week.
If there is anything that you can do, can you please help her? 🙏

I'm standing my ground, because that's one of my white privileges, but disenfranchised and at-risk people in #Florida and #Texas should probably consider their options.
#MutualAid to help PoC and/or #LGBTQ+ relocate IS the underground railroad.
All of the times you fantasized about helping runaway slaves and being the white savior, this is your chance.
I also have hidden spaces planned in #Georgia. Just in case. Hit me up on #Signal

Had to use $20 to buy street food today bc I'm too sick to prepare anything from the stress and etc
Btw $20 is the only thing I've gotten for 55 hrs, and several days before that
