1. You feel powerless? Don’t know what you can do to resist the rise of fascism? Here is an answer: Good Things. Fascism inflicts pain and harm as a matter of doctrine. Kindness, care and conviviality defend us from it. The more we build community, the less it can take root. 🧵

Feminist friends - looking back anti ‘DEI’ is a new version of anti ‘woke’ which was built on anti ‘gender inclusion’ & anti ‘positive discrimination’ which was hated as ‘political correctness’ back in the day - it’s all just the continuing of misogyny, racism, LGBTQ phobias! New name, same hate!
