Really glad that Forbes caught this moment: I was shocked by the deafening silence over the CIA's illegal actions with MLK's records when compared to the uproar about the alleged JFK cover-up. youtube.com/watch?v=C668iA…

"Today, when powerful men co-opt the term to resist accountability, they invert its meaning. What once signified persecution *by* power now serves as rhetorical refuge *for* it." Alexis Coe alexiscoe.substack.com/p/witch-hunt-n…

Alexis Coe asks an important question about presidential use of "witch hunt," and provides a history. Andrew Johnson was hounded, but he was no witch.

"I take particular umbrage at the attacks government-employed librarians faced during the hearing.... They embody everything government should be: ethical, methodical, devoted to public service. I know because their work enables my own." Alexis Coe MSNBC msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-…

When run-of-the-mill protests meet armored troops while actual insurrectionists get pardons, it’s not just policy that shifts. It’s the terms of engagement. The rules are being rewritten, and they're not in the people's favor.

The biggest difference in coverage between Biden & Trump’s 79th birthday in office: A fixation on the president’s advanced age. It’s largely absent from the news today--even with Tapper and Thompson’s book dominating the bestseller lists. Still relevant: rollingstone.com/politics/polit…

"Franklin D. Roosevelt didn’t summon fanfare, he seeded it. In 1934, FDR repurposed his January 30 birthday into a nationwide campaign against polio." Alexis Coe MSNBC msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-…
