Today in Labor History April 1, 1976: Surrealist artist, Max Ernst, died. In addition to his artwork, he was an anti-Fascist, who was literally chased out of France by the Gestapo. He opposed Stalin’s Moscow trials. And much of his art had anti-Fascist and anti-Stalinist themes. He produced his painting “Fireside Angel” (or “Angel of the Hearth and Home”) after the Spanish Republicans were defeated by the Fascists. Ernst said, “Now this was naturally an ironic title for a sort of ungainly beast that tramples down and destroys everything in its path. It was the impression I had at the time of what was likely to happen in the world, and I was right.”
You know this is an activist home - seeing my LFL & my protect old growth yard sign. I usually put up other items - at different times to support causes/movements that I believe & am active with. Our front yard is most photographed by strangers passing by 😊

The site that Kushner wants to develop was bombed by Americans in 1999. It was a military target, although with mixed civilian uses. The building (which #Trump’s SIL plans to destroy) commemorates Yugoslav Partisan victories over the Nazis in tense canyon battles during WW2.
This “deal” is a travesty for civilian victims of the 1999 war (Albanian and Serbian), in a country that wouldn’t exist without the #Antifascist struggle of the Partisans. 1/3
