CBS fired Eddie Cantor in 1939, slow-fired Edward R. Murrow in the 50s, cancelled the Smothers Brothers in 1969, and Ed Asner in 1982 – all over politics. Eddie got booted for going after American fascists and Nazi simps like Henry Ford. www.jta.org/archive/eddi...

one thing that has slightly slipped through the cracks is that yesterday Trump said that 9,982 out of every 10,000 people are autistic

just saw a group of masked men stuffing masked ICE agents into an unmarked car, who were saying "we're ICE we're ICE!" but the abductors shouted to the crowd "no we're ICE!" no one knew who was ICE, so no one in the crowd said anything.

You Gov numbers: "Only 16% of Americans think the U.S. military should get involved in the conflict between Israel and Iran; 60% say it should not and 24% are not sure"

It's going to change quickly, but let's at least remember where we started.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

Today, on Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom & the abolition of slavery

But our freedoms are under attack: our freedom to live w/o racial discrimination, provide for our families, & come home safely to our loved ones

EPI will continue to fight for an economy & a nation that is equitable for everyone

RIP to hero Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. Please read this thread of her remarkable accomplishments for Minnesota.
Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government.

That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

What we are seeing in Los Angeles right now with #NoKings is after several hours of a massive protest that was 100%, law enforcement—abruptly and without provocation—began firing tear gas, flash bangs and pepper balls at protesters.

It was broadcast live on air. “Unrest” is on them.
Remarkable.

MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful."

Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd.

Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.
