Montrealistic guitaritarian & writery artperson. Toujours antifasciste.

Be unrelentingly honest and kind and everything else takes care of itself.

Defeat fascism through relentless ever-intensifying love, kindness, music, art, & beauty y'all. And nukes.

4/This is part of a broader phenomenon that @segoddard.bsky.social and I describe as neo-royalism. It is a world order based not on national interests but those of elite cliques pledged to absolute sovereigns.

History will remember Donald Trump and every person who enabled him, voted for him, protected him, and did not actively oppose him as complicit in the fall of America.
