Palast gives feminist trailblazer @LilaGarrett her award from @KPFK. Lila was the first American woman to write, direct and produce a TV series, and wrote your favorite episodes of #AllInTheFamily and #Bewitched.
@LilaGarrett @KPFK At 93, @LilaGarrett's still the passionate radical "Katie Morosky" that @BarbraStreisand portrayed in The Way We Were — the true story of Lila's college years, and is still fighting the "a**hole fascists" via her @KPFK Radio broadcast #ConnectTheDots.
@LilaGarrett @KPFK @BarbraStreisand Lila also stood with my uncle Oliver Crawford (#StarTrek) on the Screen Writers' Guild board fighting the Hollywood Black List. vimeo.com/81655231

Democrat #DanMcCready supposedly lost the special election in #NorthCarolina’s 9th Congressional District to Republican #DanBishop by less than 4,000 votes. However, racially biased #VoterSuppression schemes easily account for the GOP "victory" margin. gregpalast.com/jim-crow-steal…
Under the violently partisan Elections Board chief Kim Strach, #NorthCarolina targeted 561,693 voters based on the measurably racist and absurdly wrong #Crosscheck list created by the discredited #KrisKobach of Kansas. gregpalast.com/jim-crow-steal… #NorthCarolinaSpecialElection
The vote scam, which I exposed for @RollingStone and Al Jazeera, showed that well over 100,000 voters were wrongly purged for supposedly being registered or voting in two states. rollingstone.com/politics/polit… #NorthCarolinaSpecialElection

I don't trust polls, they're not that accurate if they are before an election because the pollsters have to figure out if you're going to vote or not. The polls that really count are the #ExitPolls—and in #Wisconsin, #Pennsylvania & #Michigan, #HillaryClinton won the exit polls.
So what happened in #Wisconsin if you had a 4% victory in the #ExitPolls? How did Trump win? The answer is, you tell an exit pollster how you voted, but you don't know if your vote was counted. gregpalast.com/election-stole…
You don't know if the machine kicked out your vote. You don't know that if you filled out a #ProvisionalBallot and it was disqualified.

#NRA skips bullet again: By Trump keeping the Federal Election Commission without members, enforcement action against illegal NRA donations comes to halt. nbcnews.com/politics/2020-… #FEC #RIPFEC

If you want an illustration as to where we are in the Q-Movement, consider the Columbo TV series. One of my favorite shows.

An episode starts with the viewer knowing who, how and why a murder was committed. We see the coverup. We see the entire con, in the first 20 to 30 ...
… minutes of the episode.

This is exactly like the Q-Movement. We’ve seen the crimes, we’ve seen the criminals and we pretty much know the motives.

What makes Columbo a good watch is seeing how a cunning investigator is able to crack open the con to link the dots ...
… necessary to bring on justice. Often, the criminal is a high-class noble in our society. Not much different than the criminals we see today that the Q-Movement is targeting.

Columbo’s effectiveness is slowly tearing a criminal down. The criminals in the show were once ...

On this first day of #WomensHistoryMonth I highlight Soror Barbara Jordan. She was the first African American to deliver the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention. She also introduced the Presidential Records Act that eventually became a law in 1978.
On this second day of #WomensHistoryMonth I highlight Soror Wilma Rudolph. Despite being told as a child she would never walk again, she became the first American woman to win three gold medals in track and field during the 1960 Summer Olympics.
On this third day of #WomensHistoryMonth I highlight Soror Dr. Jocelyn Elders. She was the first African American Surgeon General. While in that position she advocated for sexual health and reproductive rights — something which is still taboo to this day.

For #blackhistorymonth I've decided to promote one figure from black history every day. Today we're kicking it off with Madame CJ Walker, the first American woman to become a self-made millionaire. madamcjwalker.com/#&panel1-1
Day two! Congressman Robert Smalls, who stole a Confederate ship and sailed 17 slaves to freedom. And that was literally just his first amazing act. I learned about him from this video from @cracked cracked.com/video_20215_ho…
And here's more info:

Day three! Marsha P. Johnson, a pivotal figure in LGBTQIA rights since the beginning. Her efforts during the Stonewall Riots (50 years ago this year!) helped pave the way for the progress the community has made in the past half-century. sites.psu.edu/womeninhistory…

Happy #Pride
I was expelled from my all-girls high school for being a #lesbian & put in a mental hospital for #conversiontherapy.

I became an #LGBT activist to prevent that from happening to other girls like I was.
Yet conversion therapy is still legal.
Happy #Pride
I memorialize every #lesbian who died hidden in the shadows because of #homophobia, who was forced into compulsory heterosexuality, who was made to live a lie. You deserved better. We honor you by making a safer world for lesbians today. Amen.
🏳️‍🌈🖤❤️💜💙💚🧡💛
On #Pride I think of the #lesbian who became my mentor. She propelled me forward into lesbian #feminist writing. #AudreLorde opened a door for me I didn't know existed. I am so grateful she was in my life and left such a legacy for #lesbians.
