The album cover of 𝟗𝟗% 𝐛𝐲 𝐒𝐤𝐚-𝐏 depicts a caricature-style protest scene, capturing the band’s fierce political edge. In the foreground, a policeman with a sneer violently strikes a protester with his baton, embodying state power and brutality. The backdrop shows shadowy rows of riot police advancing, emphasizing mass oppression. With exaggerated cartoon features, fiery text reading 99%, and a chaotic atmosphere, the cover symbolizes the clash between the people and authority, reflecting Ska-P’s anti-capitalist, anti-police, and pro-worker message.

Anti-Authoritarian Communities - Neolithic Levant

Archaeological evidence reveals a remarkably egalitarian society during the Pre-Pottery Neolithic period. Unlike many agricultural societies that developed pronounced social hierarchies, the Southern Levant communities appear to have consciously maintained equality across gender and class lines.

The word “#comrade” is being used again by young #progressive organizers. It’s historically tied to communism and was weaponized during McCarthyism, so it still feels loaded for some.

But the word also shows up in the military and veterans groups, meaning close allies or teammates. Progressive comradeship is definietly a meaningful and unifying concept for the growing #AntiAuthoritarian movement—one rooted in shared values, mutual care, and love for justice.

“They deserve a democracy that still remembers why they died.”

On Memorial Day, we reflect not just on sacrifice—but on whether we’ve betrayed its meaning.

NEW: So Costly a Sacrifice—a full-throated defense of moral patriotism, grounded in history, not pageantry.

#Protesters honor #veterans, rally for #ImmigrantRights on #MemorialDay in downtown #Boston

The “#RallyForADream” called state and local legislators to action in the fight for statewide immigrant protections.

By Darin Zullo, May 26, 2025

"Hundreds of protesters gathered on the Boston Common Monday to honor veterans and rally for statewide protections for immigrants.

"The Memorial Day Rally for a Dream, organized by #Mass50501, was held on Memorial Day to honor fallen military personnel while supporting the ideals that they died for, organizers said. The group has hosted numerous protests since President Donald Trump’s second term in office began, including the nationwide '#HandsOff!' protest that saw tens of thousands of protesters in Boston alone.

" 'We felt it was really important to do this today,' Rebecca Winter, a spokesperson for Mass 50501, told Boston.com. 'We’re calling this march the Rally for a Dream because we see that the American dream is being desecrated right now with all of the harm being done to immigrants in our state.'

"The rally began at City Hall Plaza, where Kylie Bemis, a Mass #50501Movement member and assistant teaching professor of computer science at Northeastern University, kicked it off with chants like 'show me what democracy looks like' and 'no hate, no fear, immigrants are welcome here.' Bemis has been outspoken about the #Trump administration and previously called on Northeastern administrators to do the same.

" 'I’m #NativeAmerican from #ZuniPueblo, and I’m a #transgender woman, so I feel like I was born into this kind of #resistance,' Bemis told Boston.com. 'When I saw that things were swiftly moving towards #authoritarianism, I felt an obligation to do my part, to resist, to speak up, to point out the injustices that other people seemed to be missing.' "

On Memorial Day, we honor the lives lost defending freedom—but also confront the present threats to that same freedom.

In The Solemn Pride, I revisit Lincoln’s Bixby Letter and what it teaches us about sacrifice, memory, and democratic responsibility.
