Right wingers in America are trying to change what "Anti-Fascist" means. That's not ok. 

(Fascism is authoritarianism plus even uglier stuff. Fascists demonize ethnic minorities, immigrants, or political opponents, among other super unfair things that they do.)

Anti-fascist
means opposing fascism
and related far-right ideologies,
including white supremacy
and neo-Nazism.

It is a political stance, 
not an organization. 

It's normal to be anti-fascist.

FUN FACT: 
Being anti-fascist is aligned with 
the teachings of Jesus Christ! ๐Ÿ‘ผ

Interestingly, the term anti-fascism doesn't actually tell you much about what a person wants their government to look like. It only clearly defines what they don't support.

(It's like being anti-anchovies as a pizza topping. Doesn't tell you what else they want on their pizza, or how they plan to pay for that pizza.)

๐Ÿ˜Ž Being anti-fascist 
      is as common

It's a very big tent. 

So naturally, there are going to be a lot of different types of people within that tent.

Being anti-fascist does not mean that you are planning to commit crimes or damage property.

BUT WHAT IF... a few people in that huge group of Americans who have an anti-fascist political stance commit crimes while self-identifying as "antifa." Doesn't that change the definition of Anti-Fascist for everyone?

No. No one gets to change a word's meaning just because they want to vilify the majority of Americans. Remember, it's a political stance, not an organization.

Velshi Banned Book Club: a Conversation with the Great Stephen King There are few authors with as much influence as Stephen King. Kingโ€™s writing, from imagery to phrases, is deeply entrenched in American culture: โ€œItโ€ and Pennywise cemented the killer clown, โ€œCarrieโ€ defined high school suffering, โ€œThe Shiningโ€ crystallized haunted hotels, โ€œThe Shawshank Redemptionโ€ epitomized jailbreak, and โ€œCujoโ€ became shorthand at the dog park. What connects Kingโ€™s work, from explorations of fairy tales to time travel, is hope.

You want to know what the king of horror thinks of humanity? @stephenking.bsky.social says, "You can call me a romantic if you want to, but I think that most people are inherently good, and they try to do their best.โ€ #Velshi #VelshiBannedBookClub

โ€˜Do something. Pick something. Do not be silent in this momentโ€™: Elie Mystal From small protests in Trump country to fiery town halls and crowded courthouses in major cities, ordinary citizens are standing up for democracyโ€”one act of courage at a time. As Elie Mystal reminds us, resistance doesnโ€™t require grand gesturesโ€“ every act of defiance, however small, throws a wrench into authoritarianism. In the face of Trumpโ€™s โ€œcruelty,โ€ even โ€œacts of kindness turn out to be acts of resistance.โ€ The call is simple but urgent, Mystal says: do something, choose something, and refuse to be silent.

Resistance doesnโ€™t require grand gestures, @elienyc.bsky.socialโ€ฌ reminds us. But what you do now is what you would have done in historyโ€™s darkest hours. "So who do you want to be?"

Trump wants to strip us of our humanityโ€“ making every act of kindness an act of defiance. "Do something." #Velshi
