Happy to celebrate #mayday2025 with @mskellymhayes.bsky.social! We start talking about antifascism, which now has to include all types of mutual aid and direct action. What does it mean to meet fascists in the streets when they control every lever of federal government?

@mrs-frazzled.bsky.social ‘s analysis of the recent reinterpretation of civil rights laws (that all schools have to stop DEI activities too): “obeying in advance” is going to be a key problem. I thought there was only a German phrase for this. #vorauseilenderGehorsam
