I really ought to post some #PrideMonth things from time to time. So here's something. #Pride #gay #homosexual #antifascist

“An ambitious new exhibition, ‘Antifascism: Now’…calls anti-fascism ‘a shared responsibility’ and ‘an active practice’ necessary for democratic societies to protect themselves against the realities of fascism today…

A broad coalition between liberals and the left had to be made to defeat fascism in the 1940s, and it needs to be remade now – and, in my experience, liberals are more likely to enter into those conversations in a cultural institution than in a more activist space…

Primarily, they implore their participants to be more active than mere audiences or visitors, and to consider the nature of contemporary fascism and the tactics and strategies we might use to defeat it…

The first thing we can do as artists, curators and audiences is not to allow ourselves to fall too far into pessimism, or to internalize the lie – peddledt by the same billionaire-owned media that downplay the violent nature of the far right and demonize those who oppose it – that art is useless as a tool of resistance”

I love the statement in this picture.

I am so happy that they did it, and I am grateful for all the anti-fascists who lost and risked their lives, then and now.

My understanding is that the sexts were known by his wife, & they worked thru it. his wife mentioned it as part of full disclosure. then someone leaked that disclosure to the press

so his "redemption story" starts when he & his wife worked thru it, not when the press got involved

i'm not excusing his behavior. i canvassed for Sinema & Gallego (& Kelly). so, yeah, sometimes they're not what we hoped for. but I am #AntiFascist. i will vote for any Dem over any Repug fascist every day

I couldn’t care less about a politician’s sex life (so long as that sex is with consenting adults) or extramarital affairs. But if a dude gets a Nazi-adjacent tattoo in 2007 and doesn’t get it removed/covered until 2025—well after a rising tide of fascism should have had him asking questions about certain symbols—that, to me, screams “I’m friendly with Nazis and Nazi ideology, and I’m only putting on a performance now that I’m in the public eye.”

Hitler promised socialist-like things to his base, too, fam. The “Nazi Party” was the “National Socialist German Workers’ Party.” Turns out a person can promise to fight for the working class AND be a motherfucking fascist.

Jacobin writers pushing Platner on me, writing things like “judge him by how he fights the oligarchs,” can all eat shit.

Judge Platner’s Character by How He Fights the Oligarchs

The fact that Graham Platner still holds a general election lead amid scandalous personal revelations should give us hope. Voters may be shifting to judge politicians more on their willingness to take on economic inequality and war than their private lives.
