CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.
Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

Irish Presidential Election: Don't forget to vote.
Polling stations are open from 07:00 to 22:00 on Friday.
Turnout is likely to be low. That makes your vote more significant.
Jim Gavin is still legally eligible to be elected, so your second preference is relevant.

There is real #antisemitism, including when people discriminate against Jews because of the actions of Netanyahu. That's like discrimination against Palestinians because of the actions of Hamas.
But opposing genocide/massacre regardless of who the perpetrators are is not antisemitic.

#Trump wants to bribe taxpayers with their own money, to keep up the pretence of all the money that #tariffs are supposedly bringing in (which is actually paid by those taxpayers themselves anyway).
One problem is that the proceeds of tariffs are already spent on tax cuts for the wealthy.
