[demmiblue]

[Dennis Donovan]

[demmiblue]

11. You're welcome!

4. Anti-Fascists defacing,...

... the Nazi graffiti on the public subway system.

Bless them !

[Wounded Bear]

7. RWers and Fascists have thrived for years...

by dividing the very groups who should be banding together to fight for human rights for all.

8. Evil prevails when good people fail to act

Good people acted so evil didn't prevail this time.

[Dukkha]

26. Not Tonight Evil

I was thinking the same thing. Don't let one immature thug paint a false narrative of the people of NYC.

[Moral Compass]

9. Love this!

Thanks for posting.

[CaptYossarian]

10. How come nobody saw them do this?

[phylny]

19. If you mean the original graffiti, it's because the subway runs

24 hours a day. It's quite probable that no one was in the car when the windows and surfaces
were defaced.

[CaptYossarian]

28. Yes, that's what I meant. But, no cameras?

[George II]

13. Here's the NY Times article about this:

[H2O Man]

14. Recommended.

Beautiful response to ugliness.

[Hekate]

15. KnR for "No sir it is not. Not tonight and not ever." Light a candle in the darkness...

[Kali]

16. wow!

missed that one. how cool it was a DUer

[BuffaloJackalope]

17. MAGAheads will look at this with complete incomprehension.

[NotASurfer]

18. Hand sanitizer gets rid of Sharpie

There's something hopeful in that. I may need to pack a few extra travel bottles, to hand out to people I run into who think you can manipulate a hurricane with a sharpie. Should probably send some to every Senator; some of them are unclear on the need to work together and remove the ugly scrawl of the sharpie-in-chief

[live love laugh]

20. I SO ❤️ NY. nt

[Bayard]

21. Outstanding and Courageous!

[SWBTATTReg]

22. I guess this is trump's america...

No sir, it's not. Not tonight and not ever. Not as long as stubborn New Yorkers have anything to say about it.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


I don't about you all, but I am proud of everyone of those people there who cleaned the filthy utterings off the windows and signs. Proud.

I also like to say that the a major portion of the rest of us in the USA are with these people too. This is disgusting and sick behavior on the part of the idiots who wrote this garbage and the authorities should track down who did this vandalism and charge them w/ a hate crime, or at least make them clean up crap for the next six months to teach them a lesson.

[PatrickforO]

23. That is great! A good start for the new year. nt

[TygrBright]

24. Thank you for reposting this. The reminder is heartening. n/t

[Farmer-Rick]

25. One cowardly little Nazi's hatred

Overtaken by a subway full of Americans......just like we beat them in WWII....despite the cowardly Trumps....even cowardly Trump's father did Not fight in WWII.

[Blue Owl]

27. Fuck the nazis to hell

And they can stay there.

[smirkymonkey]

29. This is why I love NYC.

These people who resisted are fantastic. Never let this hatred spread anywhere. It gives me hope that people would not stand for this.

[spanone]

30. K&R...⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[warmfeet]

31. That is a wonderful thing to see.

Good people coming together to fight hate. There is much work ahead, but we can do it.

[Duppers]

32. Bravo NYers!

Had my Brooklyn kid been on that train, he'd be one if the first to pitch in. He loves NYC's active liberalism.

[Karadeniz]

33. I had totally forgotten this...thanks for sharing because we need examples of goodness

Now more than ever!❤

[Sherman A1]

34. K&R

[tclambert]

35. I'm sure there were very fine people on both sides.

Okay, maybe only the side with Purell, and not so much the side with Sharpies.

[wendyb-NC]

36. What a truly american and patriotic response!

[soldierant]

37. I realize both thay

the original graphic was talking about something completely different, and also that not all anti-Fascists are Democrats, but I couldn't help but think of it -
