real HUAC vibes
NPR CEO Katherine Maher on a tweet she posted in 2020 calling Trump a fascist and a sociopath: "I regret those tweets. I would not tweet them again today. They represented a time where I was reflecting on something I believe that the president had said rather than who he is."

Apropos of nothing in particular, here's Walt Disney's testimony to HUAC in 1947, where he named employees he believed were communists, condemned labor unions, and accused "commie" groups, including the League of Women Voters, of smearing him. 🗃️

HUAC is back, baby!
Vance encourages people to call the employers of people who "celebrate Charlie's murder," then says "get involved. Get involved. Get involved."

In his closing remarks while hosting Charlie Kirk's show for the White House, Vance says "the most important truth Charlie told was" — and then recites Apostles' Creed.
Vance then spends several minutes railing against the left in a speech that, uh, I think is likely gonna get some attention.

87 years ago today, the House Un-American Activities Committee was established by a group of corrupt politicians, 1 of whom was later revealed to be a foreign spy (Samuel Dickstein). The HUAC was formed to intimidate, silence, and destroy anyone who threatened the status quo. 🧵

The blacklist is back, HUAC will probably be next to return
Under new head of Paramount David Ellison, the studio has drawn up a list of actors who opposed the Gaza genocide and will not allow them to appear in its films and TV shows.
Does this sound familiar?
Also, "Ellison is reportedly aiming to take over Warner Bros. next."

HUAC (also featuring a young Nixon) predated McCarthy, and they attacked Hiss, drafted a report supporting the internment of Japanese-Americans, and caused the blacklisting of the Hollywood 10.

When you see all the crazy anti-communist propaganda like this, you need to remember the oath our elected leaders take, "...to protect America against all enemies, foreign and domestic..."
