The Proud Boys - a white supremacist group with a stupid name - planned a rally a block from my house today. The "belly of the beast" rally. Because apparently that's where I live - the belly of the antifa beast. Whatever the fuck that means.
2 hours before it was supposed to start, the park starts filling up with my neighbors. A drum line shows up. A brass band plays. The anarchists are giving away vegetables and nachos and some artists are selling jewelry. Black leaders give speeches. We chant Breonna Taylor's name. And all the other names.
No right-wing rally every coalesces. There was never room for a critical mass to congregate. A lost-looking man or two walks to the park, doesn't see their people, turns around. A right-wing vlogger trying to debate people is surrounded and walked to the edge of the park. Someone spotted with a handgun is chased through the park, to their car, by over 100 people. The ice cream truck music plays the whole time.
The usual guys sets their chess tables and start playing, the crowd of neighbors start to break up.
Nazis, we will replace you. We will displace you. We will louder and more numerous. We anti-fascists are full of music and love and nachos. We will always replace you.

Justice for AP: Five years ago NYPD tased my cousin, Anthony Paul, to death - in his home, in his room. An ambulance was originally called for him, BUT it was the cops that had arrived first & w/o being called. Why? Bc their budget is so damn high, they can arrive where they’re not even needed. . Anthony was goofy, sweet, and way more generous to the world than it was to him. His heart was huge. . My family has been battling his case and justice has still not been served. What hurts the most is that I learned that this goes BEYOND THE POLICE. It’s the medical examiner & EMTs who lied to protect the cops. It’s the judge who lied to protect the cops. The police isn’t a gang - it’s apart of a MAFIA FAMILY. And they must all be held accountable for Anthony’s murder & I’m sure the murders of so many others. . Each new hashtag is salt in an unhealed wound for thousands of families, mine included. This shit is not political, it’s personal. . Did you know that a coroner doesn’t need to have a medical agree? THAT is how you have corrupted medical examiners more interested in helping out cops than helping out people. NYPD budget is a lil under 9 BILLION dollars. That’s how you have cops walking around like they’re untouchable. Bc the state lets them know that they are. #JUSTICEFORANTHONYPAUL https://www.instagram.com/p/CBGw9YjhgbD/?igshid=1hn0kwv8tmwy3
