The largest human protest OF ALL TIME, around the world, Peacefully, was The Women's March, on the day after Trump was inaugurated in 2016. I am a woman who participated, and will again. I also went to Washington DC protest Brett Kavanaugh.

👋 your Canadian Support Person here. For those of you who aren't celebrating Presidents Day, I invite you to celebrate the Family Day holiday instead. It was first celebrated in Alberta in 1990 and then enacted by BC, NB, ON, and SK. It's a day to enjoy winter with your family. ✌️🇨🇦

After death threats for his work on antifascism, a Rutgers University professor fled the United States.

“It’s too late for preventative antifascism,” he said. “I think we’re in a new era.”
