    Congrats to the artist who managed to get the NYPD to put ACAB on their own vehicles! It's reminiscent of some other possible examples of graphic design worker sabotage:

    He was not just a Frenchman, he was a communist, which is why he was put in a concentration camp. It's especially important to point this sort of thing out now that imbeciles are trying to claim the Nazis were left wing, so it's a shame the @AuschwitzMuseum didn't mention this.

    #OtD 2 Jan 2020 El Vaquita, a street dog who'd joined protestors in confrontations with the police, wouldn't allow himself to be adopted, even though he'd been shot. So, the people of Antofagasta, Chile, staged a fake protest to lead the dog to the vet.

    Due to what is trending on Twitter, thought it would be a good moment to post this photo of the original Antifa HQ in Berlin, Germany, 1932.
