I want to make it clear: opposing #fascism is not political. It is not a #Conservative thing, it is not a #Liberal or #Progressive thing.

It is a #democracy thing. It is a #citizen, a #community thing.

Because a #fascist government is effectively indistinguishable from feudalism. There are a few nobles, and everyone else is a #slave. We have been here before.

It is not good for anyone. There isn't a 1%. There are a couple dozen individuals, maybe.

Being #antifascist is being #human.

New 4 to 6 month project for me:

I've decided to start a sewing circle at my apartment complex. I ran the idea by some of the people from the board game night and got interest.

I figure that the board game night would remain as a thing for my immediate neighbors, and the sewing circle could be for random people across the complex who are interested in sewing.

I can't put up posters around the building, but I have a number of ideas.
