January 13, 2024 - Edwin Wagensveld, leader of Dutch fascist group PEGIDA, came to Arnhem to attempt to burn the Quran. Wagensveld and his four fascist friends were completely outnumbered by anti-fascist and Muslim locals, and despite heavy-handed riot police protection it was another humiliating defeat for PEGIDA.
They tried and failed twice at setting the book on fire, Wagensveld got a flying kick to the face, and in the end the counter-demonstrators rushed the scene and managed to save the Quran that the fascists had brought to burn. [video]

Life is simply a mix of mayhem and magnolias, so embrace this gentle riot and gather flowers along the way.

I saw a post talking about how we shouldn't celebrate when organizations, people, countries and etc make changes to be more accepting towards minorities or make changes that would better the world because "they should have already done that."
The ideal world we want, where everyone can live a kind and nice life, isn't going to happen in one massive swoop. It is going to come in tiny steps over many, many years. And guess what? We should celebrate each step we take. Each time something changes for the better we are closer to what we've all been dreaming of and that is something worth celebrating. If we refuse to find happiness in small victories, we won't have the strength to make it to the end.
So throw a party with some of your friends when your city council installs bike lanes. Go protest outside the shop down the street for being bigoted. Kick Karen out of the neighborhood group chat and go out for dinner with the rest. It's worth it not just in the end but to you in the present. You should, and need, to celebrate small achievements.
