When the majority chooses to empower the greater evil, they betray the essence of what it means to belong to a nation of ideals. To condone harm is to forfeit the right to call oneself a countryman.

A liberal has to tell a hundred stories, or a thousand. A communist has one story, which might not turn out to be true. A fascist just has to be a storyteller.

Listen for dangerous words. Be alert to the use of the words extremism and terrorism. Be alive to the fatal notions of emergency and exception. Be angry about the treacherous use of patriotic vocabulary.

Remember: fascism thrives on apathy.
The autocrats want you to tune out. They want to overwhelm you. They want you to give up.
Don’t give them want they want.
Stay in this fight. Remain vigilant. And let’s keep building.

I encourage everyone to start doing push-ups and sit-ups. If you can't, that's okay—you can jog instead. If jogging isn't an option, that's fine too—you can walk. Stretching becomes more important as you do more workouts. It's essential to practice corporeal politics.
