Meanwhile, follow the circus fun, if you can call it that... in the race to be #speaker - Of what? For what? For whom?

Formerly "the People's House" but now the House of #TrumpVirus - division, hate, #sedition, #disinformation - and bigly, a lack of #accountability still for the #Jan6 insurrection spawned / enabled by such #Traitors as #GymJordan, still in contempt of Congress while playing at being (the other) #McCarthy - bluster & complicity, with not one scintilla of decency, respect, or patriotism.

(So you don't have to!) Just saw this (and reacted) on "X". *

House GQP Leader yields to Fellow Seditionists to Begin Impeachment of Nothing ("We'll find something!")

Seems like #Jan6 #sedition participant #Gaetz - the guy who ASKED for a pardon (acknowledging guilt!) - is intent on "total compliance" from fellow #GQP guilty seditionist #McCarthy. ( #MTG gets a pass? )

No matter that there is no "there" there... The only 'there' Gaetz should be seeing, along with his co-conspirators and rabid Q-sters in OUR House, is prison. ASAP.

  * Rachel Maddow, 9/11/2023 - (on #Muskville post #Musk)

"It is important that this one middle-aged, red-pilled, right-wing billionaire has taken one of the world's major social networks and turned it into a firehouse of totally toxic, anti-Semitic and pro-Nazi content; Now blaming the Jews for the financial woes of his company while personally using his power and his public profile to boost and validate literally self-declared anti-Semites and White Nationalists who are the loudest influences on that network.
That's an important thing! "

McCarthyism Is Back: Together We Can Stop It

We stand together against the rise of a new McCarthyism that is targeting peace activists, critics of US foreign policy, and Chinese Americans. Despite increased intimidation, we remain steadfast in our mission to foster peace and international solidarity, countering the narrative of militarism, hostility, and fear.

As the US government grapples with a major crisis of legitimacy, it has grown fearful of young people becoming conscious and organized to change the world. Influential media outlets like The New York Times have joined right-wing extremists in using intimidation tactics to silence these advocates for change, affecting not only the left but everyone who supports free speech and democratic rights.

The political and media establishments, both liberal and conservative, have initiated McCarthy-like attacks against individuals and organizations criticizing US foreign policy, labeling peace advocates as “Chinese or foreign agents.” This campaign uses innuendo and witch hunts, posing a threat to free speech and the right to dissent. We must oppose this trend.

Scientists, researchers, and service members of Chinese descent have been falsely accused of espionage and unregistered foreign agency, often with cases later collapsing due to insufficient evidence. Similar to the old “Red Scare” and McCarthy periods, when scores of organizations and leaders like W.E.B Du Bois, Eugene Debs, Emma Goldman, Paul Robeson and Martin Luther King Jr and others were attacked with fact-less accusations, today, prominent organizations and individuals, including CODEPINK, The People’s Forum, and Tricontinental Institute have been targeted, with smears and accusations propagated by outlets like The New York Times.

Their strategy paints a sinister image of a secret network funding the peace movement. However, there’s nothing illegal or fringe about opposing a New Cold War or a “major power conflict” with China, views shared by hundreds of millions globally. Receiving donations from US citizens who share these views is not illicit.

Media outlets have tried to scandalize funding sources of several organizations that are on the frontlines working with anti-racist, feminist, anti-war, abolitionist, climate justice, and other movements throughout the United States and globally. Meanwhile, when white neoliberal philanthropists flood the non-profit complex with significant funds to support their political agendas this is rarely scrutinized or made accountable to the communities they impact.

From The New York Times to Fox News, there’s a resurgence of the Red Scare that once shattered many lives and threatened movements for change and social justice. This attack isn’t only on the left but against everyone who exercises their free speech and democratic rights. We must firmly resist this racist, anti-communist witch hunt and remain committed to building an international peace movement. In the face of adversity, we say NO to xenophobic witch hunts and YES to peace.
