#Hilo🧵La historia de la libertad de expresión en México tuvo un antes y un después a partir del 8 de julio de 1976. Luis Echeverría aplicó la fuerza al #Excélsior y provocó la salida de Julio Scherer, todo por el tono crítico del periódico a la gestión del todavía presidente. 👇 Image
👊 El golpe a Excélsior se fue fraguando desde el inicio de junio de ese año y todo a partir de la invasión de un terreno en donde la cooperativa del diario tenía intereses. Image
✋ Además, el manotazo en la mesa ocurrió a unos días de la victoria electoral que llevó al poder a José López Portillo. Image

Aunque la sociedad no lo recuerde o haya preferido olvidar ese lado de la historia, México atravesó por un periodo en donde surgió un levantamiento ideológico cercano (o plenamente adscrito) al #fascismo.
Recogemos rápidamente algunos datos y hechos de este fenómeno
En 1923 aparece el Partido Fascista Mexicano (PFM), creado por Gustavo Saenz de Sicilia y con cien mil militantes, buscando el reconocimiento del Partido Fascista italiano y como reacción en contra de la Revolución Mexicana, las leyes agrarias, el socialismo y el comunismo.
El PFM lanza su Manifiesto en diciembre de 1922, en donde declaran que lucharán contra la propagación del bolchevismo en México pero a su vez ignoran al campesinado, enfocándose más bien a la clase media.
Entre 1923 y 1924 el partido se disuelve.

When I was small I thought Stan Lee (born Stanley Leiber) must have been the greatest — or at least the most prolific — writer ever, given all the comics he wrote. Later lawsuits suggested things were a bit more complicated. A gifted self-publicist and judge of artistic talent,
Lee was part of the “work-for-hire” system which saw young artists sign away their creations for a pittance. Stan would give an artist a sketchy plot and — once they’d finished drawing 20 pages of story — Stan added dialogue and claimed he wrote the whole thing.

THREAD FOR STAN LEE.
Stan Lee gave us more than co-creations X-Men, Iron Man, Hulk, Fantastic Four & Spider-Man. He gave us creeds to live by. Principles to emulate. Villains (and racism) to fight. He gave me vital cornerstones of my belief system. My sense of responsibility.
He helped give me a sense of hope. Why? Because I could use all his lessons in real life. That’s why his stories were so powerful. It wasn’t the super powers (sometimes it was). But as I got older, Stan Lee...
gave me real world applications for all those values. And unlike politicians, corporations, advertising or anything else, those lessons were GOOD. For the sake of good. Read these now. They were written as way back as 1965. #RIPStanLee

Introducing the Sean Hannity Expanded Universe, Fox’s anti-Mueller alternative reality mm4a.org/ZDz

Because you, the people, demanded it, and my editors couldn't say no when I'm about to go on paternity leave.
Anti-Mueller conspiracy theories have permeated nearly every corner of Fox. But a small group at the networks have followed Hannity's lead by making that narrative the center of their commentary.
President Trump is simultaneously the audience for this story, the victim who needs to be saved, and, in the telling of members of the SHEU, the potential hero.
