Perhaps a good time to re up the New Fascism Syllabus, an online repository of resources on neofascism, populism, and authoritarianism, including a research repository and relevant secondary literature.

Iran Join Rick as he explores the most surprising and fascinating land he's ever visited: Iran. In a one-hour, ground-breaking travel special on public television, you'll discover the splendid monuments of...

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.

Exactly this. Now to direct that energy towards a General Strike! @generalstrikeus.bsky.social

Favorite show right now is North of North... I hope it gets picked up for season 2! Thanks for all you do, TIN, for getting the word out there and asking for help, as it is needed. I commit to sending $$ when I have some come thru. Peace.

Fours different hands pull a golden crown apart, surrounded by the words "Many hands make light work."

No kings

but my friends and I had made friends with her cousin who was also celebrating his birthday in the VIP section so we got to hang around later and still party with them. And then the next summer, I was celebrating my bday and we ran into the cousin's friend group again at a diff bar! ✨️Kismet✨️ 2/2

I went to a duelling piano bar for my birthday one year and part way through the evening a very drunk Elisha Cuthbert and Dion Phaneuf took over the pianos and shut the place down (as in everyone was escorted out to preserve their dignity) 1/2

That part.

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil.

It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

Do Not Comply: A Lesson from the Last Three Months of Anti-Trans Attacks

Do. Not. Comply.

"It's not about labels... I'd like to have an instruction manual. I'd like to have a guide and I'd like to know why my mind works as it does."

Exactly this.

"To have a hope of combating the end times fascists...we will need to build an unruly open-hearted movement of the Earth-loving faithful: faithful to this planet, its people, its creatures and to the possibility of a livable future for us all."

We need this energy again.

💯🎯

Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century."
