When I was gifted this sticker during the hectic yet beautiful Montreal Anarchist Bookfair back in May, I had little time to think about it, much less look at it. Along with other sweet anarcha-gifts, it was tossed into pile to take home, and later, tossed into a small ziplock bag of other stickers that then, unfortunately, got lost under a pile of papers, which in turn got tossed into a box that recently traveled to the US Midwest. It was only rediscovered a couple days ago when I wanted to take an alleged #ArtOfResistance stroll and rummaged around for companions.

Audrey Hepburn? I stared back at her confident (defiant?) gaze and couldn’t understand why someone had paired her with “antifa.” Maybe, I thought, it’s a meme I missed. Or some sort of irony? Or simply that whomever crafted this design just likes Hepburn as an actress? Or maybe some antifa dude wanted a pretty female face to draw attention to the message? (Yuck!) Perhaps, to be less skeptical, they wanted to show that folks other than cis-males can be antifascist?!

It’s then that I thought to do that most modern of things: an online search (versus the old-fashioned act of going to an actual library). Keywords: “Audrey Hepburn antifascism.” And I learned something, or was reminded of something: stickers can and sometimes should make us think! They can and sometimes should serve as the #ArtOfRemembrance, honoring our chosen rebellious ancestors. They can and sometimes do both, while also putting out a much-needed stances: #ResistFascism!

What I learned, moreover, was that as a teen in the Netherlands, Audrey did her part to resist Nazism: “I [gave] underground concerts to raise money for the Dutch Resistance movement. I danced at recitals, designing the dances myself. I had a friend who played the piano and my mother made the costumes. The recitals were given in houses with windows and doors closed, and no one knew they were going on. Afterwards, money was collected and given to the Dutch Underground.”

Be like Audrey—and stick firm to solidarity (and now, some public walls and street signs).

#resistfascism #gop

This level of existence seems to be set to hard mode.

We see it.
We feel it.
We hear it.
We experience it.

This means there is no defined endpoint to the work.

Despite this, we press on.

Instead of resigning to the challenge before us, we must also learn to rest.

My motto for this:
Resist. Rest. Repeat.

We're not "heading towards" a dystopian fascist state, we are there.

Stupid people led by an idiot is a recipe for disaster, look at what happened in Hitler's Germany; the same thing is happening here with MAGA Republicans! Industrialists paid for Hitler's election in Germany just like they've done for Trump. #ResistFascism https://vimeo.com/655232616

Even if you have watched this video before watch it again.

What we have endured for the last week is only a harbinger of things to come.
We must continue to #ResistFascism because it continues to be a threat to democracy.

It will be tempting to consume the spectacle created by the House now. What if, instead, for every anti-democracy action taken by the Chaos Caucus we take some pro-democracy action and share it?

Amsterdam is so surprising and charming and meaningful a film that one really should just watch it without further foreknowledge for maximum enjoyment (though nazis might not agree). If you need more than eye popping style, a monster roster of stars, and didactic dialog, you can read https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-front-row/amsterdam-is-an-exemplary-work-of-resistance-cinema

@jimstewartson I went down the EO rabbit hole with Gal and Q Jr Watkins was floating using that EO after the 2018 midterms. Anyway, I’m supposed to be trying to focus on doing some art and stupid shit. #resistfascism

Hate speech that promotes harm to people is wrong! Free speech must never allow hateful propaganda to support encouragement of harm to others, e.g. LGBTQ+, people of colour, people who live with disabilities, people of Jewish faith and so on! #ResistFascism https://twitter.com/mmfa/status/1598459147535765509

@clearing_fog He's already got a list, and my bio over there still says #resistfascism, so I'm pretty sure I'm not getting my account back.

Just had to block the first 'colleague' on the left, for going low with ad hominen throwing shade rather than addressing the actual points I made.

Been through this crap for decades.

The FBI #cointelpro made an art form of pitting leftists against leftist.

A key element of that disruption was planting seeds of suspicion.

Don't question motives. You can never know someone's heart.

Question the veracity of their allegations.

My point is that the overall united front against fascism remains a priority. A lot of the divisiveness within, particularly, various factions of the trans community, but also around race, is something which CAN become counterproductive and work for the benefit of state, church and capital.
'
A lot of this has been gone over since at the least when Ward Churchill mocked white victims of the 9/11 terror attack. Then the CIA exploited the Moskito-Sandinista confrontation to split the left. Oliver Revilo infiltrated CISPES for the FBI and the antiwar coalition was seriously damaged.

I really don't need these amatuer attacks on my analysis. I am listening and learning from the scholars discuss moderation but no I am not abandonding the need to #resistfascism thank you very much.
