We got a lot of cases like this in Brazil, mostly during the 70s. It was during the DICTATORSHIP. I think the entire world media needs to start using the correct word for the current USA regime.

I had accidentally booked it for a different time and date 😅, so I saw AFTERTONE instead (which was great). Saving ALPHA for next week when I regrow some braincells

Everywhere we see how anti-migrant racism and dehumanization is the central pillar for growing fascist rhetoric. To be anti-fascist today is to be anti-border.

Out of all the physical media assets I've looked at in the past year, your essay in the Helter Skelter pamphlet was the most inviting. I'm no avid reader either, so it's no stretch to say that reading it was like watching the film again in a sense. Bravo 👏
