Lee Grant, blacklisted during McCarthyism, is speaking out against Florida's teaching standards
At 100 years old, Lee Grant knows the cost of McCarthyism better than almost anyone else on the planet.
Read whatβs happening with the Coast Guard and hate symbols, then read this article about Florida whitewashing McCarthyism and changing how schools can teach about it. Peopleβs lives and livelihoods were destroyed for decades, but, sure. Letβs protect the feelings of fascists and hate groups today.

What a great play. This and The Childrenβs Hour were essential reading for me when I was studying acting. Sheβs another victim of the HUAC, which we seem to have forgotten about in todayβs political climate.

Are you in #Georgia? Have you voted? If not, tomorrow is your last chance to make a difference in the #PSC #election. There are also a number of local ballot measures, city council elections, etc. that need your voice!

πItβs the olβ green versus roasted debate. My family is from South Georgia peanut-growing country, but Iβm living in North Georgia roast βem first territory. Iβll take them however I can get them as long as theyβre salted only, no fancy seasoning.

If you are one of the almost 100 Dems who voted to honor the guy who said the Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake,
donβt bother asking Black people to vote for you, donate to you or canvass for you next year.
Donβt bother.
Please.
And donβt be shocked if you get a primary opponent.

With apologies to Carl Sandberg:
The fascism comes
on little blonde feet.
It sits looking
over city council meetings
on snooty haunches
looking down its nose but never moves on.

Theyβre still around in Georgia, too. The John Birch Society (worth a little research if you arenβt familiar) built one near my grandparentsβ house and itβs still going. I just thought it was a particularly ugly private school when I was a kid.

Last night I watched Anatomy of a Murde and was drawn in by Joseph Welch, who once was an attorney. He was famous for skewering Joseph McCarthy: βUntil this moment, Senator, I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessnessβ¦You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency?"

I read that one last year and loved it, especially as a resident of rural Georgia and former library worker. I *just* finished The Change by the same author and am recommending it to all of my friends of a certain age.

I donβt know what it says about me that he was one of my first celebrity crushes. I think it means. I have great taste. My dating life says otherwise, but perhaps Iβve been holding them to impossible standards. Happy birthday and thank you to a life-long inspiration.
