Between Dolly Parton's quiet COVID research fund, BLM support, and her sending generations of children books through the USPS, at 74, she continues to be one of the most relevant and ever timely people of every era.

1973: Native American actor Sacheen Littlefeather boo'd (and cheered) by Hollywood at the Oscars before being mocked by Clint Eastwood and almost physically assaulted by John Wayne simply for asking that Indigenous people not to be dehumanized in film.
1) Took

Sarah Sanders' video of briefing
2) Tinted red and made transparent over CSPAN video
3) Red motion is when they doctored video speed
4) Sped up to make Jim Acosta's motion look like a chop

6) The White House doctored it
Police abandon handcuffed woman in squad car parked on tracks as train approaches.
Yareni Rios-Gonzalez, 20, suffered 9 broken ribs, broken arm, broken teeth, head, back and leg injuries, as cops fled.
Paid leave for the cop.
The Academy nominated American Sniper 6 times. The Bradley Cooper film celebrating a real life war criminal who said he killed "damn savages" for "fun" and bragged about looting homes of innocent Iraqi families at the site of Fallujah massacre of civilians with chemical weapons.
The Academy does not condone violence of any form.
Tonight we are delighted to celebrate our 94th Academy Awards winners, who deserve this moment of recognition from their peers and movie lovers around the world.
Oscars was where a Native American woman was boo'd while asking for equality. Where Blackface and Yellowface was celebrated. Where Michael Moore was boo'd for trying to stop genocide in Iraq and child rapists were given awards. Can we not do this.
Eli Lilly stock isn't just tanking because of a satirical Tweet on Musk's hellscape, it's tanking because millions of people are asking why we have to pay for insulin, when it was made to be free.
That's why other insulin stocks are falling too.
Happy Disability Awareness Month
We regret to inform you that we will not be giving away insulin, a publicly funded invention that was given away by its creator to be given away to people so they don’t die.
Remember, if I were to go to Israel today it’s called “return” even though I was born in Uzbekistan and am an American Jew.
And if a Gaza Palestinian goes to Israel, it’s called “invade” even though he still has the keys to the house his family is from.
Airline CEO pay
Delta: $15M
American: $12M
United: $10M
SouthWest: $8M
Alaska: $4M
Now they're asking for a bail out that is almost equal to the value of every airline combined.
If we're going to pay for it, we keep it.
Nationalize the airlines.
I ask Amazon drivers about this trend all the time, and was told that when workers see these signs a lot of them feel forced to dance (among other humiliating requests) so that customers don't leave bad reviews.
Everything at Amazon is measured to be punitive. Stop this.
Imagine knowing that Western leaders care so little for over 13,000 murdered Palestinian children, that you instead have to plead with them by showing Western passports of those murdered.

They evacuate waving white flags.
Israel shoots them anyway.
A Twitter employee asked why their employer won't ban neo Nazi tweets like they banned ISIS tweets.
The answer is that if you teach an AI to ban Nazis, it bans a lot of Republicans.
When you tell me to trust the testimonies of Zionist forces, as a Mizrahi Jew, I say pass.
Zionism had Israeli Jews dress up as our Iraqi neighbors and friends to massacre us, fellow Jews. Why? So that Mizrahi Jews would flee Iraq and help settle Palestinian homes cleared of…
Investors fear culture caught up with them. More people know insulin's discovery was funded with our money. Insulin's cheaper everywhere else. Insulin's inventors sold the patent for a dollar to a university because they wanted everyone to afford it.
What level of soulless piece of shit are you trying to achieve when you fraudulently overlay a fake date on a video so you can protect Israel from its ongoing starvation of Palestinians. This bakery, like almost every bakery, was bombed by Israel.
@AndrewYang
Some facts about Yang for the people throwing up in their mouths:
1) He launched his campaign with a cochair Ritchie Torres who said Palestine human rights advocates are mentally ill. And is funded by Israeli apartheid to pink wash it.
You all don't read history.
Every genocide, every single one, includes sexual, religious and racial dehumanization. Every genocide has a thin story to justify it in the minds of people who WANT to be fooled. If you are still fooled, you are asking to be fooled.
Cuomo releasing private personnel documents of the woman who accused him of sexual harassment moments prior isn’t just retaliation, it’s a warning.
This is the man who opened a corruption commission then closed it when the evidence led to him, he has a lot hide.
That time Marlin Brando refused his Oscar win and instead invited Sacheen Littlefeather to ask Hollywood to stop dehumanizing Native Americans too boos and applause.
Then when Clint Eastwood followed by mocking her and saying we should honor all the fictional dead Cowboys.
@AndrewYang
2) Andrew Yang recently celebrated an endorsement by one of the most despised racist, right wing Jewish leaders in NYC, who was removed by the City Council for claiming Palestinians don’t exist.
Reuters editors won’t name Israel in headline, and won’t even say they intended to blow up press offices of their own press colleagues at AP and AJ, so imagine what some of these editors do to stories with Palestinians.
I’d say this is peak privilege but the Temple of Dendur at The Met was ordered by Rome as a vanity project to solidify Ceaser Augustus’s rule with colonized Egypt, so it’s a tie.
U mean to tell me, Jimmy Fallon, who fakes laughs at everyone, attempted to make candidate Trump adorable, desperately protected Jeff Bezos as he attacked Amazon workers (even against friend John Oliver) is the very first and only late night host to abandon

Some people are reporting that it was created by hate site Infowars and reused by White House. Possible.
Some also reporting that Sarah Sanders retweeted it. No, she UPLOADED a doctored file and tweeted a doctored video.
This is antisemitism pure and simple. Not at David, but BY David. Because he is telling the world that for Jews to feel safe, Palestinian identity must be erased. That is an attack on both Jews and Palestinians.
Just walked out of Brussels train station from the Eurostar. This is what greeted me.
Nice way to make the Jews feel uncomfortable. We are clearly not wanted here. Sorry I came.
Zuckerberg responds to Bernie Sanders' call to abolish billionaires by saying it would harm much needed funding of scientific research and philanthropy. (You know, 90% of which is needed to undo the damage of billionaires.)
Just saw a video of Israeli snipers killing lambs because they might be used for food by starving Palestinians and I'm supposed to just have a normal work day.
So far during the ceasefire Israel has kidnapped more people than released. We just call it arrest because we are conditioned to legitimize state violence.
If you look up the top producers of insulin, more evidence that investors know how vulnerable the insulin grift is. Any news is bad news, because now we're all paying attention.
Academy said nothing for Sacheen Littlefeather. Not to boos she got talking about state violence against Native Americans at Wounded Knee at the time, and not against John Wayne for trying to physically attack her for asking Hollywood to be less racist.

Platteville Colorado police report itself has omitted that she was being held at gun point by police. For a 911 call after what’s described as a road rage incident claiming she had a weapon. No weapon was reported to be found or “found” in her car.
In case you’re looking for unbiased reporting from the ground, remember Israel spent years assassinating and caging many of the Palestinian journalists, smearing, firing and banning many Israeli ones, and black listing many international ones to prepare for today’s genocide.
A guy on Lexington Ave asked me for 10 dollars so he can get dinner, I told him all I had was a 5 and gave it to him. He said “thank you but why are you so poor”.

hundreds of American Jews take direct action in DC against US politicians complicity in Israel’s attacks on Palestinians in Gaza,
Last week Fathi Ghaben the "Van Gogh of Gaza" died in Gaza after official medical requests were ignored by Israel.
Hits even harder learning that his son, who didn't receive treatment for intestinal cancer, died at 18, while Fathi Ghaben was in prison.
In prison for painting.

You nominated American Sniper 6 times. The Bradley Cooper film celebrating a real life war criminal who said he killed "damn savages" for "fun" and bragged about looting homes of innocent Iraqi families at the site of Fallujah massacre of civilians with chemical weapons.
This week, two "progressive" Rabbis dragged my name through the mud to 100s of Jewish leaders, calling me a dangerous, fringe extremist.
Last night, I climbed up Grand Central Terminal & I'll never feel alone again standing with my huge Jewish & Palestinian family

Bernie bro here. He did amazing of course but when

said this she raised the fucking bar.
Honored to know the women who have been working to bring her to next level.
Can someone explain to me Israeli soldiers obsession with Palestinian womens and even young girls underwear? What are they taught about Palestinians that this is a “gotcha” moment?!
Meet Benjamin, a French-Israeli soldier/pervert. For some reason he thought he could get more dates by posting a photo of himself with a collection of displaced women's underwear.
This is called sealioning.
It’s meant to exhaust us. This is easy to find. Don’t waste your time with these attempts. And numbers won’t change their mind. When it was 5000 they said it was a lie, now it’s over 7 times that and they still don’t care.
Police in California's Huntington Park say they were fearful for their lives, killing Anthony Lowe Jr with 8 bullets.

The Academy spent decades ignoring rape by Harvey Weinstein before it was forced to remove him from its membership, and never once took action against violence by Roman Polanski who drugged and raped a 13 year old or Mel Gibson who continues to promote hate.

Her infant was still alive.

It's not that Ben Shapiro is an effective propagandist, he's kinda bad at it. It's that the culture of American interview journalism is largely built on making sure your guest returns.
For those who think Jordan Neely's killer wasn't racially motivated, he just hired a Trumpian defense lawyer who praises openly racist, antisemitic Curtis Sliwa.
Mel Gibson called Winona Ryder, who is Jewish, an "oven dodger".
This was the moment after he asked her 'Oh wait, am I gonna get AIDS?' because the friend she was with was gay.
Last week, Ellen DeGeneres fraudulently used false copyright claims to censor my critique of her erasing Bush's Iraqi victims.
This week, let's unerase thousands of his Black Katrina victims, left begging for help until they were met with tanks and guns instead food and medicine
Jordan Neely's family fundraiser is at $82,000.
His killer Daniel Penny's legal defense fundraiser is now at over $1.3 million.
16 times more.
Let's change that, chip in anything you can
Fascists don't see root causes.
Kid misbehaves. He's not examined. He's hit.
Poor person steals. She's not fed. She's caged.
Migrant risks their life at a border. Western foreign policy that made their home dangerous is ignored, and they're dehumanized and deported.
The Chinese never offered Native Americans reservations.
Neither did the Brazilians.
Only the United States of America offered the Native Americans reservations!
The Jordanians never offered Palestinians a state.
Neither did the Egyptians.
Or the Ottomans.
It was the Jews, and only the Jews, who have ever made that offer.
In all this noise, that irony gets lost.
A story from a friend:
"I'm voting for
@BernieSanders
and it's because of you Bernie Bros" said a New Hampshire professor with some disdain.
"It's because you're the only ones here in the cold leafleting me. And that's why you're going to beat Trump."
#BernieForNH
Jordan Neely's killer, Daniel Penny, is at home on $100K bail, filed by his lawyer who ran for DA on a campaign platform AGAINST suspects being able to stay at home before trial.
Interesting how people against bail reform are only against poor people waiting for trial at home.
