That moment when you put on the Dead Milkmen's "Punk Rock Girl" to get it out of your head (where it got stuck via the transitive property of "The Great Boston Molasses Flood" after reading the recent research about the molasses flood in question) and then, because of the way your iTunes is organized, realize a few songs later that you are listening to Partisans of Vilna: The Songs of World War II Jewish Resistance and, all right, you probably love Hirsh Glik rather more than the next person thanks to beta-reading A Verse from Babylon more than ten years ago, but don't you think he would have been all right with anti-fascist songs not being so directly relevant again? Yes, I know he didn't write "Yid, du partizaner"—that was Shmerke Kaczerginski—but he's got two songs on the album and "Zog nit keyn mol" is still on mental rotation. This even before I found out that a protest to which I am strongly thinking of going on Wednesday has a Jewish resistance faction. That's cool. (Even if I can tell I am not their target demographic by the fact that I didn't type it out "#JewishResistance" because it makes no sense to me to use hashtags in contexts where they do not actually function as metadata.) I hope somebody has already made a golem sign. These days I am rather in favor of golems that protect as many kinds of marginalized people as needed.

Where is Jack Kirby when we need him? -- altho someone updated that cover of Cap punching Hitler in the face to Ms Marvel punching Trump in the face, which was great. Chris Evans does sound about ready to punch out Trump on Twitter.

I am delighted that he appears to have simply channeled his natural social justice activist tendencies into being Steve Rogers. Are you the person who made me aware that he's the nephew of our state representative? (There are nine in Massachusetts, but in Somerville, Mike Capuano is ours.)

Gladly! http://www.dailydot.com/parsec/kamala-khan-marvel-donald-trump-fanart/

I don't think that was me! but what an awesome connection.

YES

That's a thing of beauty.

Yep. (Maybe Capuano would like to be governor of Massachusetts. I'd vote for him even ahead of the artichoke.)

I really love her HUGE fist and the "T" on his armband.
