Emergency art is necessary in these tumultuous times. How beautiful to hear that the connection between you and your wife joyfully bloomed through art. “Joy is not made to be a crumb”, is a much needed reminder to us all. We’ll NEVER let the soulless bastards steal our joy.

A quote of yours stuck with me and I’m dutifully spreading it around wherever I can (always crediting you):

FASCISM KILLS ART.

ART KILLS FASCISM.💥

Art kills fascism? The Nazis had a lot of artists creating propaganda for them.

In order to kill fascism someone has to kill fascists. The fascist is not created by propaganda nor can the fascist be converted by propaganda. My father was one of the original members of antifa. They weren’t like that bitchy whiny today’s antifa. They went to fascist Italy and Nazi Germany and they killed fascists. Then they organized the Nuremberg trials and killed even more of them. It was glorious. It was a thing of beauty and to me that was a work of art.

Kudos to your father, as an original antifa. That kind of bravery is not as prevalent these days.

Art is full of symbolism and messages, some good, some bad. Propaganda art is really bad when it is meant to lie or mislead from facts and truth. Not all art is propaganda. Art can be a powerful tool to resist against fascists, authoritarians or dictators. Don’t underestimate the power of art to defeat the darkness of nefarious forces. If we stop making art, if we stop resisting the fascists, then they’ll win. We won’t let them win!

The American media, be at the music media or the film media does nothing to come back fascism. Corporate filth owns the music industry. If someone were to write a really great protest song they would never allow it to be heard anywhere in the world.

Music today not only sucks But I think it’s being used to keep young people stupid stupid stupid. In the 60s and 70s a lot of artists were writing protest music. Some of those artists were mainstream people like Johnny Cash, Marvin Gaye, John Fogerty, Elvis Presley. Even money man Bob Dylan was writing protest songs. John Lennon protest songs.

One of the absolute premier protest songwriter there was a guy named Phil Ochs and Nixon went after him And they fucked with him a lot.

Fogerty wrote fortunate son To protest the evil of the Vietnam war.

This one is called here’s to the state of Mississippi. It was about all the white men in the savage salt who murdered and terrorized Black people.

I’m using a cell phone for this and the stuff I’m dictating keeps changing. Fuck you Bill Gates I hope you get cancer.

As usual, doing some very self-involved thing unrelated to the purpose of the event, and totally not able to be emotionally present or to connect empathically. The gold drapes ...

As we know, he is a total POS, but how to get rid of him and disempower the cult that props him up? Reminds me a bit of when Biden went down to give active condolences and emotional support to the survivors of the Surfside FL condo collapse. DeSantis could be seen in the background behaving similarly to Trump. Also reminds me of my present job where I do medical disability evaluations of military veterans, and I hear horriblly tragic stories about their injuries and of those around them who were injured or killed. Also, see what Robert Gates has said about this part of the job.

Article II, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution

defines the grounds and targets for impeachment, stating that the President, Vice President, and all civil officers of the United States shall be removed from office upon impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors

But how can we get it to happen? I’ve been hearing so much about it but not a single thing about how to get it done.

Look at the piss stains on his pants, would you rather have everyone look at your tie or the piss? He is pissing his pants

I think Timothy Snyder nailed it when he said DJT may want his strikes in Iran to trigger terrorism here in the U.S. — to give him a reason to shut down the midterm elections. Sleep tight.

Thank YOU for everything that YOU do!

Donald Trump never intended to keep any promises, just like the two year old who wants a puppy and tells the parents I'll feed, clean up, etc. I found it odd that he was trying to hard to get elected and I knew he had the idea to steal from the American tax payers as much money as possible.

Robert Goldbach's avatar

The more people disapprove of, or disagree with, something that DJT is hell-bent on doing, the more likely he is to "double-down" and force it on us even harder. I won't say that no U.S. president has ever exhibited this pattern of behavior before; but to-date there has been no U.S. president who has done this so persistently and consistently. Dealing with Donald is like dealing with a wicked child.

Outdoorluvr's avatar

Yep. Watch what he does after the No Kings rallies across the country on March 28th.

Sara Butler's avatar

He pretends like the rallies either failed tremendously or didn’t even happen. Which means that his regime is afraid to tell him about them.

Outdoorluvr's avatar

Then I guess we have to do bigger and better, so Fox can't ignore them! Since we know he watches TV half the day...

Everything Felon47 endorses or complains about, he seems to get an addition to his assorted bank accounts; So, as far as I'm concerned, it's all about How Much He'll pad his pockets.. cause he certainly doesn't give a Damn about Anything Except Himself.

I just can’t with that fool. Every public photo is like watching a drunk toddler with no filter. It’s really quite shocking how absolutely dumb he is.

We’re just going to pretend this is normal?

Skitealwedrop's avatar

No. There is nothing normal about that person.

Judy CZUBATI's avatar

Is there anything normal about politicians ignoring all the horrors?

Skitealwedrop's avatar

There was nothing wrong with Joe Biden, other than he’s a little aged. I can name a few other politicians that are pretty normal but not many.

Unhinged's avatar

Yea. They’re all corrupt. We need to throw them all out and get some young smart people in there.

We also need to have testing for people running for office, esp presidents. Knowledge and mental health. Right now we have neither

June Kimmel's avatar

So glad you have this love in your life.

WTAF. The Ayatollah’s hard right son?! He’ll be no better than his father!

Mary, if Donald knows and doesn’t distance from or acknowledge that Putin supplies Iran with intel on us; is that not CLEARLY Treason?

Love Mary Oliver; my therapist turned on to her about 50 some years ago.

Rather than "war of choice" I would call it an "unprovoked war of aggression."

Excellent comment and very true.

David Krolick's avatar

What coat is Karoline Leavitt wearing, she is standing behind vance, it looks like a navy coat? Don't mind the felon child's actions, he is only pissing his pants, the plan is to make everyone think he is looking at his tie.

Donald’s sons are able bodied, send them to fight @ Iran. They invest & reap millions of dollars with their crypto bs. We are sick & tired of the demented, sadistic arse occupying the White house. Donald is Putin’s bestie. Remember, he laid the red carpet down for Putin. He is a traitor…
