Radio Free Europe is not an outdated organization. The US people get a good return on investment through its reporting on repressive regimes, often putting correspondents in harm's way. Protect press freedoms. Support @RFERL.

A president/developer offering to resettle White Afrikaners (who own 80% of S. African land) as refugees while making plans to kick out Palestinians and build a Riviera of the Middle East in Gaza is exactly the kind of satire #SNL did in the 1970s.

Freedom of the press is under threat by the wealthy elite - again. Imagine if a “megadonor” filed a petition to abolish the 2nd Amendment.
Trump megadonor Steve Wynn has filed a petition asking the Supreme Court to overturn the landmark 1964 decision in New York Times v. Sullivan, which protects the media's ability to aggressively cover public officials.

@steveliesman Years ago in the Capitol, I was walking through a hallway and spotted a pile of newspapers and magazines. They had subscription address labels on them for various offices. No doubt “government money” was spent on the publications. Trump creates controversy where there is none.

Walking in Chapel Hill, I encountered a woman waving a menu. Her: You look like somebody who likes wings. Me: I’ve never liked wings. Her: Why not? Me: There’s no meat on them. Her: I can’t argue with that.

The current administration’s animosity toward our allies reminded me of Randy Newman’s satirical song “Political Science.” Randy Newman - Political Science (Live in London) via @YouTube
