#IDedicateThisWeekTo George C. Marshall, American statesman and soldier, who rose through the U.S. Army to become Chief of Staff under presidents Roosevelt &Truman, then served as Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense under Truman.
George Marshall
Winston Churchill lauded George Marshall as the "organizer of victory" in World War II.
As Sec’y of State from ‘47-‘49 Marshall advocated rebuilding Europe, a program that became known as the Marshall Plan, leading to award of the 1953 Nobel Peace Prize.
The Marshall Plan revitalized Western Europe following the devastation of WW 2. George Marshall’s vision of a foundation for lasting peace and prosperity became reality, lasting 70 years.
Trump’s Nationalism threatens to deconstruct that institution of Western Liberal Democracy.

#IDedicateThisWeekTo Larry Doby, who broke The American League’s baseball color barrier the same year Jackie Robinson was the first black player in The National League, 1947.
when he signed a contract to play with Bill Veeck's Cleveland Indians.
Larry Doby
A seven-time All-Star center fielder, Doby and teammate Satchel Paige were the first African-American players to win a World Series championship when the Indians took the crown in 1948. He helped the Indians win a franchise-record 111 games and the AL pennant in 1954.
We were barred from organized ball because we were black. We knew it. We didn’t talk about it. We didn’t think about it [while a member of Newark Eagles Of Negro National League].
But then a great man named Bill Veeck bought my contract and made me a Cleveland Indian.

The Grand Jury Can And Must Indict Donald Trump /1
The Constitution creates an independent Grand Jury entitled to make its own “Presentments” with or without the approval of a Prosecutor.
IF IT'S NOT A RUNAWAY, IT'S NOT A REAL GRAND JURY
Roger Roots

Indict Trump /2
“Prior to the emergence of gov’tal prosecution as the standard model,..all grand juries...operated as completely independent, self-directing bodies of inquisitors, w/power to pursue unlawful conduct to its very source, including the government itself.”
Indict Trump /3
“Before the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure...grand juries were understood to have broad powers to operate at direct odds with both judges and prosecutors.”

#Saudi feminist Loujain al-Hathloul, 29, was detained in May in unprecedented crackdown vs feminists. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman aide Saud al-Qahtani, personally oversaw her interrogation, which incl waterboarding & threatened to rape & kill her google.com/amp/s/www.wsj.…
Of 18 detained activists, at least eight have been physically abused in custody, according to Saudi advisers, activists &others with knowledge of the prisoners’ treatment. One said security officials electrocuted her hands. “My fingers resembled barbecued meat, swollen and blue”
Glad to see some finally pay attention to misogyny in #Saudi Arabia - I call it gender apartheid. RIP Jamal Khashoggi. It should not be lost on us that it took the murder of a man for some to finally pay attention to women.

#Saudi Crown Prince Mohamed Bin Salman,suspected to have ordered murder of journalist #JamalKashoggi, launched unprecedented crackdown vs women’s rights activists in May. Those activists have been tortured & one has tried suicide 3 times google.com/amp/s/www.wash… h/t @SherifaZuhur
Some of the activists (none of whom have been formally charged or given access to lawyers) have been subjected to psychological or physical abuse while in custody, including electric shocks, sexual harassment, sleep deprivation and beatings. #Saudi
“In one reported instance, one of the activists was made to hang from the ceiling, and according to another testimony, one of the detained women was reportedly subjected to sexual harassment, by interrogators wearing face masks.” amnesty.org/en/latest/news… #Saudi

Direct investment was already down in #Saudi Arabia after some of the recent disturbances; this spat with #Canada is unlikely to help. on.wsj.com/2OgITYl

I've been thinking of all the Republican president there have been in my lifetime. I was born in 1956. The first Republican president I knew was Eisenhower. He was the last reasonable Republican president.

He was the last -legitimate- Republican president.

1/13
Ike was a moderate and a genuine hero. He warned us against the military industrial complex. He didn't suck.

Richard Nixon was a crook, and he was elected in 1968 by conspiring with a foreign government to blow up peace talks to make Democrats look bad.

2/13
Nixon was reelected in 1972 by hiring a team of dirty tricks operators (they called what they did "rat fucking"), which included bugging the Democratic Headquarters in the Watergate Hotel.
