A similar movement happened also in the 1950s during #mccarthyism albeit on a much smaller scale. Creative industries in #europe benefitted as a result. This was especially the case in the #uk . Worth recalling that #roycohn - later a mentor to #trump - was also #mccarthy's right hand man at the time!

Le retournement de l'Histoire comme le renversement d'alliance est d'autant plus remarquable que #Trump fut client pendant 30 ans de l'avocat mafieux #RoyCohn dont la carrière a débuté en tant qu'assistant du Sénateur #McCarthy qui présidait le comité de lutte contre les activités anti-américaines, soit l'influence russe et soviétique dans la société US.

I loved this exercise of painting/drawing every day for 1000 days. Makes my attempt to write a poem every day for a year pale into insignificance

#McCarthy hat nach dem Sturm auf das Kapitol den politisch erledigten #trump zurückgeholt. Warum? Aus persönlichen Gründen, um seine eigene Karriere zu retten. Hat nicht geklappt. #Musk hat Trump zu einem Zeitpunkt, als er im Rückstand war, mit seinem Geld und seinem Einfluss zum Wahlsieg verholfen? Warum aus persönlichen Gründen, um seine eigenen Geschäfte zu pushen. Hat mMn nicht geklappt. So könnte man weitermachen. Es gab immer irgendwelche Idioten die Trump oder #Hitler zu benutzen meinten.

A #US based photographer has captured a breathtaking shot of a skydiver perfectly aligned with the blazing surface of the Sun. Titled “The Fall of Icarus”, #Andrew #McCarthy took the photo from the #Arizona desert as skydiver #Gabriel #Brown jumped from 3,500 ft, positioned nearly 8,000 ft from McCarthy’s camera.

"That’s the #authoritarian playbook: Promise safety through vigilance, unity through fear; describe aggression as preservation. Senator Joseph #McCarthy did it when he turned the Cold War into a hunt for invisible enemies at home. Vladimir #Putin does it when he brands dissenters as foreign agents. Donald #Trump does it when he says that America is under attack “from within” and immigrants are a poison in the nation’s blood."

Today in Labor History November 15, 1919: The main headquarters of the New York City Wobblies (IWW) was ransacked and destroyed by agents acting under the US Attorney General Palmer. The Palmer raids were part of the first U.S. communist witch hunt, starting well before the more well-known McCarthy purges. It was also where J. Edgar Hoover cut his baby teeth. Between 1917 and 1919, the IWW membership had plummeted from 300,000 in the U.S. to around 30,000, due in large part to the mass arrests, murders and deportations of IWW members, anarchists, and other radicals during the Palmer raids.

The accompanying photo is of men arrested in the Palmer raids awaiting deportation hearings on Ellis Island, January 13, 1920.

For way too long #progressive has been (ab-)used as a slur by reactionary forces in the #UnitedStates. So what exactly is supposed to be so bad about #progress FFS?

For the record: I take pride in being a progressive and ecological liberal. And in #Europe that makes me part of the centre left and sure as heck not a #communist.

Re-enacting #McCarthy's #redscare is such a lame move on behalf of #MAGA and the #GOPasshats. And yes: This is an irresponsible call for violence.
