MissConstrue<p>I was there when the Berlin Wall fell. I have a piece of the wall, it’s a nondescript bit of concrete that will mean nothing to anyone when I’m gone, but for me, celebrating that day with the Germans who had never seen the other side of the wall, it’s a reminder that democracy can work. That fascists can fall. 
The rubble from the destruction of Black Lives Matter plaza tells the other side of that story. Fascism is rising, and they are on the upswing. But hold this rubble in your heart, for with its stones, we will destroy fascism again, and again, and every time they raise their dead eyes and plan destruction, we will pick up our rocks and go to war.</p><p><a href="https://mefi.social/tags/BLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BLM</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fascism</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/BLMPlaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BLMPlaza</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/WeRise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WeRise</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/EatTheRich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EatTheRich</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/Impeach47" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Impeach47</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://apnews.com/article/black-lives-matter-white-house-trump-bowser-f130daeb762e438fc8eddd3dd4da7982" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">apnews.com/article/black-lives</span><span class="invisible">-matter-white-house-trump-bowser-f130daeb762e438fc8eddd3dd4da7982</span></a></p>
