It's not fascist to call fascists fascist.

It's not "dehumanizing" to say that terrorizing entire groups of people - which ICE does - is evil.

No executive order can change these facts.

However, people *can* mess things up for fascists by standing up for community and truth. Like this.

NY protects NY

@riseandresist.bsky.social staged an excellent ⚡️HANDS OFF NYC ⚡️protest yesterday in front of Trump Tower on 5th Ave to let Trump know that New York does not want federal troops here.

I refashioned my giant hands for it. 👋

Hey, @ezralevin.bsky.social, Really wanting shoutout @juliepeppito.bsky.social who designs all our spectacular signs at Brooklyn Resisters, and leads joyful, chaotic art builds in the community to realize them, and is a rabble rouser on the order of Thomas Paine. www.juliepeppito.com

Julie Peppito designed May Days signs. Left and right hands, blue and red which say left and right, workers unite and a giant sun which says suns of liberty. Behind them dozens of red, white, and blue hearts which say workers unite.

3. The resistance requires being nimble & ready to pivot. No one at this impromptu rally had made plans to spend a gorgeous Saturday afternoon in Foley Sq but there we were and there was @juliepeppito.bsky.social with a bagful of freshly made signs to make sure our message was front and center
