"El descubrimiento" ("The discovery" 1956) fue la última de las portadas navideñas del gran artista Norman #Rockwell para The Saturday Evening Post.
Pero esta simpática estampa fue mucho más que eso, fue un antes y un después, marcó un profundo cambio en el artista.

"El descubrimiento" marcó el final de las creaciones de #Rockwell de obras que captan la vida de EEUU como el artista creía que los lectores querían verlo, una visión idealizada del "American Way of life". Pocas obras con más tópicos que "Going and Coming" (1947).

Rockwell revela en esta obra que el mito de Papá Noel es mentira, a los hijos de los lectores de la revista, que eran muchos.
#Rockwell, de hecho, quiere captar y transmitir la conmoción que siente un niño al encontrar un disfraz de Papá Noel en la cómoda de su padre.

"There is a Communist directive in education now to stress the story of Robin Hood. They want to stress it because he robbed the rich & gave it to the poor. That’s Communist line. It’s a smearing of law & order & anything that disrupts law & order is their meat." -- Mrs. White
Five IU students in study group at Baptist church bravely protested. They got poultry feathers, dyed them green, & spread them around campus. Robin Hood is here!
Green Feather movement spread across country. Read about response of FBI and local media ⬇️

New right wing website is targeting teachers who signed #TeachTruth pledge. They promise to "expose CRT bigots." McCarthy-like hit lists pose real threat to teachers who bravely commit to do their job.
We ask everyone who's not a teacher to show support on 8/18. See next tweet.

Teachers are being threatened for pledging to #TeachTruth. Media is full of "anti-CRT" protesters.
Tomorrow: use power of your social media to defend teachers & ensure that children learn truth about history so that they can shape a more just future. ⬇️

The "Expose CRT" website invites people to "report" teachers and add their names to database. #McCarthyism
We invite you to check out the type of lessons the right is trying to suppress. See #TeachTruth Syllabus with examples below. #TeachOutsideTextbook

GOP press (Daily Wire) just published list of teachers by city & state who signed pledge. #McCarthyism
Send message that teachers will not be bullied. Add your name. Important: make sure you are a member of your local teachers union or assoc. #TeachTruth

List to target teachers is already having a chilling effect. One teacher was notified by district:
Subject line: Violation of State Laws
Text: It has been brought to our attention that you have signed a petition . . . reserves the right to take any employment action. . .

Text: It has been brought to our attention that you have signed a petition . . . reserves the right to take any employment action. . .
This is an orchestrated attack. Time to read about history of McCarthyism's real target -- Black Freedom Movement and labor organizing -- and call out the current versions of it. Don't let 4,200+ teachers who pledge to #TeachTruth become the Hollywood 10.

They choose China 他们选择中国 2005 via @YouTube || I heard about horrendous Chinese PoW stories in Korean war: both those that chose coming back to China, and those decided going to Taiwan. I think relatively speaking, the American PoWs were lucky. /1
About 10 years ago, I toured DC, and visited the war memorial place near Lincoln Memorial. koreanwarvetsmemorial.org/the-memorial/ || This reminded me some of the readings I had about Korea war. I think I agree with one of the war vet said in the youtube above: that is, war is basically BS. /2
PoWs traditionally were treated worse in China, compared to in the US. I mean the PoWs came back home. But I was a bit surprised some American PoWs were punished after the Korean war, during the McCarthy era. newyorker.com/news/news-desk… /3

15 VISUAL INSIGHTS FROM THE GROWTH LAB IN 2020

The string of recent actions taken by the #US against China are aimed at stoking ideological confrontation and reviving the #ColdWar in the 21st century. It feels like that the specter of #McCarthyism is resurfacing in the US.
In the 1950s anti-communist hysteria, the Chinese community in the #US was suspected as "spies". Over 20 mln people had to go through "screening". Even kids had to sign a "loyalty oath". "Find reds under the beds" describes such insane paranoia.
The witch-hunt among Chinese scientists and harassment&detainment of Chinese students in the US are reminiscent of McCarthyism. Acting on the basis of race&ideology and hyping up the "red menace", the US politicians try to define China-US relations with ideological confrontation.

@RepJerryNadler has only one objective.
His Objective is to overpower the @POTUS
His Intense Hatred of @realDonaldTrump is evident
The Denial of #DueProcess by the @HouseDemocrats is
#Unconstitutional
As half my friends and family Cheer, they will be cheering 4 #Mccarthyism

@SpeakerPelosi is allowing her house to become a Salem Witch Trial. She is Afraid of letting @realDonaldTrump have his side represented in a Fair way. Fighting like a Girl. Encumbering the @POTUS with endless legal pokes. Poke him, poke his family, poke his Administration.
1/8 As attention turns to the #MuellerTestimony I'm reminded of Sen. Margaret Chase Smith in her 1950 #DeclarationofConscience--a response to her party and the tactics of #McCarthyism--where she noted among other things "We are Republicans. But We are Americans first."
2/8 "It is as Americans that we express our concern with the growing confusion that threatens the security and stability of our country. Democrats and Republicans alike have contributed to that confusion.."
3/8 "Certain elements of the Republican Party have materially added to this confusion in the hopes of riding the Republican party to victory through the selfish political exploitation of fear, bigotry, ignorance, and intolerance."
SCOOP: State Department gave $1.5 million of our tax dollars to @Memarsadeghi, who has been smearing pro diplomacy Americans for years, to continue her attacks under @IranDisinfo.
And @SGhasseminejad, who works at @FDD and has been smearing Americans for years, works for her.

Maryam Memarsadeghi has been granted millions in tax dollars from State Department in the past decade to promote civic education and tolerance in Iran. While she has repeatedly smeared journalists, academics, activists, and civil society organizations here in the US for years.
Congressional staff confirmed to me that @StateDept has suspended the funds and is investigating how @IranDisinfo worked outside the scope of the project.
This project was meant to counter Iranian government propaganda, but they used social media to smear anti-war Americans.

So the @StateDept uses taxpayer money to fund online attacks on @HRW because the organization is researching the human cost of US sanctions in #Iran.
Is this even legal?

“Iran Disinformation Project” website says it was launched in 2018 and is funded by @StateDept Global Engagement Center to expose disinformation coming from the Islamic Republic of Iran.

They use @StateDept funding to attack and smear diaspora Iranian journalists, analysts, academics, and activists, some living in exile.
Here are two BBC Persian journalists @BBCArdalan and @BahmanKalbasi constantly attacked by this project and also by those who run it.

"#Assange is a courageous and fearless publisher who is being persecuted for exposing the atrocities of the corporate state and imperialism" truthdig.com/articles/the-w…
«The extradition of the publisher—the maniacal goal of the #US government—would set a legal precedent that would criminalize any journalistic oversight or investigation of the corporate state. It would turn leaks and #whistleblowing into treason»

«If #Assange is extradited to the #UnitedStates and sentenced, The #NewYorkTimes, The #WashingtonPost and every other media organization, no matter how tepid their coverage of the corporate state, would be subject to the same draconian #censorship»
