I saw this meme making the rounds. I thought I'd share it too.
Text: "Star Wars Day. May the 4th be with you. Reminder: Luke, Han, and Leia were antifa."
I'm antifa, and you should be too.
And if you wonder why you should be, then Ruth Ben-Ghiat explains here (YouTube, 45 minute) some context of what's happening now. She's another USA historian, less well known than the ones I keep recommending, but she talks here about her New York Times guest essay from February 1st, "History Shows Trump’s Worst Impulses May Backfire on Him".
