In the meantime #fascists march 'legally' through the streets of #Milan in #Meloni's #Italy. Yes, be alarmed! This will be normalized everywhere or we must prevent this from happening. Don't think they won't come for you. Go on the streets and block them! DON'T LET THEM MARCH! :antifa:
This isn't some anomalous occurrence due to the happenstance of a protest. They are like this 24/7/365, lying, cheating, brutalizing, doing everything they can to stay in power, and that's why they must be dismantled.
There is a better future ahead. If their rule was just, they wouldn't have to expend so much effort to maintain it.
Uno schizzo veloce, un disegno fatto ritagliando un tempo che non ho per celebrare l'antifascismo e la liberazione, ma soprattutto per ricordare, in primis a me stessa, che la resistenza è un atto quotidiano, che risiede in ogni atto, anche nelle pennellate improvvisate di una mattina di aprile, un 25 Aprile.
Buona liberazione e buona resistenza a tutti e tutte!
A quick sketch, a drawing made during a time I don’t have to celebrate antifascism and liberation, but especially to remind, to myself first, that resistance is an everyday act, and it lives in every act, even in the improvised brushstrokes in a morning in April, an April 25.
Happy liberation and happy resistance to everyone!
Today in Labor History April 1, 1976: Surrealist artist, Max Ernst, died. In addition to his artwork, he was an anti-Fascist, who was literally chased out of France by the Gestapo. He opposed Stalin’s Moscow trials. And much of his art had anti-Fascist and anti-Stalinist themes. He produced his painting “Fireside Angel” (or “Angel of the Hearth and Home”) after the Spanish Republicans were defeated by the Fascists. Ernst said, “Now this was naturally an ironic title for a sort of ungainly beast that tramples down and destroys everything in its path. It was the impression I had at the time of what was likely to happen in the world, and I was right.”
Yes, it’s your RESPONSIBILITY to stop racism when you hear it, see it happening. This is part and parcel of “we have to save ourselves, no one is coming to save us."
“I will be no longer complicit in #genocide. I am about to engage in an extreme act of #protest, but compared to what #people have been experiencing in #Palestine at the hands of their #colonizers, it is not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal. #FreePalestine. Free Palestine. Free Palestine.”

to the writers & poets of england, scotland, ireland & wales, nancy cunard (born #otd in 1896) enquired about their attitudes to the Spanish Civil War: 'are you for, or against, the legal Government & the People of the Republican Spain? are you for, or against, franco and fascism?' what do you think she'd have thought about war on #gaza today? if you don't already know the answer, a short thread follows. #nancyCunard#illustration#antifascism#antiracism#ceasefireNow#writer
Today in Labor History March 9, 1902: Actor Will Geer was born. Best known for his role as Grandpa Walton in the long-running series, “The Waltons,” Geer also appeared in the groundbreaking film, “Salt of the Earth,” which portrayed the struggle of Mexican American workers at the Empire Zinc Mine. Because of his activism on labor and political issues, he was blacklisted in Hollywood for many years. In 1934, he became a member of the Communist Party. He also met LGBTQ activist Harry Hay that year and they became lovers. Together, they supported the 1934 San Francisco General Strike and demonstrated against fascism and for workers’ rights. Hay was a co-founder of the Mattachine Society, the first major gay rights group in the United States, and the Radical Faeries, an anarcho-pagan queer spiritual-political movement.
I have just stumbled upon an essay which points out that the inverted red triangle 🔻is used as an identification symbol by Hamas terrorists and their supporters all over the world.
A clarification:
I use the inverted red triangle as a symbol of identification as a thelemite in reference to Liber Cordis Cincti Serpente, the Invocation of Horus and Liber CCCXXXIII, where it is called thr red three angled heart or the descending tongue of grace and represents Ra-Hoor-Khuit, the Lord of the Aeon.
There is absolutely no way to unite #Thelema and #antifascism with Hamas terrorism. The appropriation by terrorists and their supporters seems to be an attempt to feign a majority of support for their horrible cause.
Antiracist organizer Josh Fernandez discusses his new book, The Hands That Crafted the Bomb, with fellow writer Joe Loya, whose own memoir, The Man Who Outgrew His Prison Cell, was published in 2005.
Today in Labor History February 27, 1943: The Rosenstrasse protest occurred in Berlin. The demonstration was carried out by non-Jewish wives and relatives of Jewish men targeted for deportation. It was the only mass public demonstration by Germans in the Third Reich against the deportation of Jews. The women were successful, too, forcing the Gestapo to release the 1,800 Jews they had in custody in Berlin.
Trump stole classified intelligence information and shared it with adversaries of the United States.
Once upon a time a US general during the revolutionary war did the same thing and his name became synonymous with the word traitor and treason. Benedict Arnold was his name.
I think Trump has earned the name Benedict Donald. #BenedictDonald#BenedictArnold#Treason#MAGA#Trump#Traitor#FuckTrump#MAGAt#AntiFascism#TrumpForPrison#Tre45on
Today in Labor History February 25, 1941: The outlawed Communist Party of the Netherlands initiated a General Strike in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam in protest of the persecution of Dutch Jews. It started one day after a pogrom in Amsterdam. 300,000 people participated. It was the first public protest against the Nazis in Europe. The Nazis brutally suppressed the strike, ending it after three days.
