Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

“To win the energies of intoxication for the revolution – this is the project about which Surrealism circles in all its books and enterprises,” Walter Benjamin wrote. “This it may call its most particular task.”

Surrealism Against Fascism • EQUATOR
A century ago, artists who survived the trenches captured humanity’s capacity for destruction. What can they teach us about confronting the far-right in a new age of genocide?

People think tyrants rage because they're strong.

But the truth is they only rage when they know the room will absorb it.

Mamdani didn't absorb it.
So Trump didn't rage.

Fear is the oxygen of authoritarianism.

Take it away, and even a strongman starts to sound like a man.

Why not Luzzza? (Said with a Jersey accent for maximum impact)
The worst part about having to continuously see discussion of Ryan Lizza and Olivia Nuzzi online is their names can’t be combined into a cutesy couples nickname like Bennifer, Brangelina, or Barbenheimer

Rep. Rashida Tlaib, the only Palestinian American in Congress, has introduced legislation to recognize Israel’s genocide of Palestinian people in Gaza and call for the U.S. to take concrete actions like an arms embargo to end the ongoing slaughter.

I guess it's called "corruption." I've never heard that before. I said wow what a beautiful word. It comes from the Latin [spicy voice] corrumpere. But it's something we're doing and we'll be doing it perhaps more than ever before

Watch Venezuela. Watch Trump.

I love that on this night of October 17th, 2025, millions of Americans are using paper and glue and scissors and tape to craft one-of-a-kind homemade posters, all because we love democracy. Can’t wait to see them tomorrow friends 🇺🇸🥹🙂 #nokings #noice #punkrocktime

As @dandrezner.bsky.social notes, we must highlight where Trump's authoritarianism is failing, too.

"Civil resistance works. Combined with the inevitable economic downturn, it is what will bring his regime crashing down to Earth."
