#medialiteracy thread: These are not "protestors." They're violent, avowed, white supremacist, domestic terrorists. The only accurate word news outlets should use is "terrorists." It's not a "demonstration"--journalists must report accurately as an armed insurrection/coup attempt
This coup is coming from inside the (White) House. They incited it. They welcome it. So this fascistic would-be dictator and his administration enablers did nothing to prevent it. Snipers and Nat'l Guard would've been on call if these domestic terrorists were Black/brown/Muslim.
Far right, Nazi sympathizing domestic terrorists have been promising a coup attempt for weeks, yet nothing was done in advance to prevent it. And today there was no substantive effort to quash them from breaching the Capitol, Senate floor endangering lives, liberty, democracy.

#medialiteracy #mediajustice @ABCNetwork CAST SEAN F*CKING SPICER ON @DancingABC. In #RealityBitesBack I exposed how #realityTV functions as backlash against gender+racial justice & social progress. Corporate media are largely responsible for POTUS 45. Now the cycle continues 1/3
2/3 Here's my 2017 piece on Sean Spicer's Holocaust denialism, and what I feared it foreshadowed from 45's administration. I didn't want to be right.

I was.

And now Spicer'll hoof it on @DancingABC, @ABCNetwork letting him rehab his image medium.com/the-establishm…
#medialiteracy
3/3 Corporate media have immense power to shape our lives, from personal beliefs to public policy and governance. Yet @ABCNetwork is choosing to profit off Holocaust denier/facist enabler Sean Spice... just as @nbc was responsible for making Trump POTUS. bitchmedia.org/article/nbc-an…

1. Woke up 3hrs too early, queasy and stressed. 2mins from now, we will likely be witness to a national misogynistic sham so deep and so blatant as to prove once and for all that the powerbrokers of US government do not believe women are human. #Kavanaugh #BelieveSurvivors #RAGE
2. I'll prob livetweet #Kavanaugh hearing, but I feel physically ill over how they've stacked the deck against #ChristinaBlaseyFord, ignored #JulieSwetnick's gang rape allegations, demonized #DeborahRamirez. How many more rapes will happen bec Trump &GOP brand claim women liars.
3. 0 reason other than corruption, misogyny, and partisanship for having no witnesses, no FBI investigation. Yet hypocrite Grassley, opens saying he wants a "Safe, comfortable, and dignified" hearing and a "show of civility"--then immediately misrepresents the issues. #Kavanaugh

1. Welp, so much for #civility: LET'S MAKE THIS GUY FAMOUS. Last night, at a French bistro in NYC, I got into it with this old white man in an American flag t-shirt who loudly "joked" to the waitress, "I'm going to tell Trump to deport you, hahaha, I'll tell Trump to deport you!"
2. I said (in a firm, calm voice), "Sir, that isn't funny and it's not ok. Don't joke about deporting people," that his waitress didn't deserve that treatment. He began screaming at me, "IT WAS A JOKE!" I said it wasn't funny but dangerous, that he shouldn't talk to ppl like that
3. Mr Civility, screaming, staring me down, irate: "DON'T TALK TO ME! YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO TALK TO ME! WHO TOLD YOU YOU COULD TALK TO ME!?"

Me: "Well, don't threaten to deport people and I wouldn't have to talk to you."

Woman with him tells him to stop it;he continues.
