Every time hate rears its head. #FuckFascism #RiseInPower

Helm's Deep has fallen to the Uruk-Hai of Saruman, the Betrayer. Only the great hall remains. Men (and one elf and one dwarf) scramble to defend it. Beyond that point, women and children preserve all that remains of Rohan.

King Theoden, who has just buried his son btw, says: "For death and glory?" And Aragorn replies: "For Rohan. For you people."

Later, Theoden finds the Grace of Iluvatar when he says: "Fell deeds awake! Now for wrath, now for ruin, and a red dawn!"

Which culminates in the epic charge of the Rohirrim at Pelenor Fields: Tens of thousands in a cavalry charge against 100,000+ orcs: "Death!"

Because when you're not afraid of dying, when you know your life and death are noble, there is no fear in greeting it like a friend and let it lift you out of this life in glory.

The fascists will never understand this. We #RiseInPower.

“A #nation can rise no higher than its women,” #Khadijah #Farrakhan said. “We focus on women but cannot lose sight that we must rise as a #family — #men, #women and #children.”

We must NEVER forget her sacrifice, and that of her family. Same for John Hoffman and his family. May she rest in eternal peace and we will continue the fight. Thank you Governor Walz for your steadfast leadership
