The Forgotten Past of Hollywood’s Anti-Nazi Committee
As the controversy over Jimmy Kimmel’s temporary time-out from talk show hosting played out last September, Jane Fonda announced that she was reviving the Committee for the First Amendment to help preserve freedom of expression in the Age of Trump. The first iteration of the committee was a star-studded political action group formed to protest the first round of hearings held by the House Committee on Un-American Activities in October 1947, a sensational show trial mounted to investigate alleged communist subversion in the motion picture industry. The group, said Fonda filles, was founded by her father, Henry Fonda.

Whenever you all hear them talk of "building new cities" or "Freedom Cities" They're talking about creating a company owned town, *outside of state authority". If you hear about the political movement "Abundance". Reject it. Abundance is the rights attempt to co-opt the left like they did with MAGA.

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.
