1. Melissa Chan is spot on. First they came for...

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

2. Thank you, Roland99

This is an important post.

PLEASE CNN, stand up for Jim Acosta. File against Sarah Slanders for her libel of Jim Acosta. The WH revoked his credentials, thus prohibiting him from doing his job - reporting on the WH.

DON'T JUST STAND THERE ISSUING STRONGLY-WORDED LETTERS, DO SOMETHING !!!

4. Yes but good luck. Don't rely on media. Citizens must organize

The media is going to roll over, they’re weak and supine.

Don’t count on them doing anything real.

Citizens must organize.

Read @jayrosen_nyu for more discussion of media supineness.
