#HUAC
Just finished. Fantastic book. What a cool woman. I hadn’t realized she was so personally close to the Roosevelts or that she was involved in HUAC stuff.

The Canwell Committee (Washington State, 1948) and the House Un‑American Activities Committee (HUAC) held hearings in Seattle, subpoenaing labor leaders, teachers, and even ordinary citizens suspected of communist ties.

The blacklist is back, HUAC will probably be next to return
Under new head of Paramount David Ellison, the studio has drawn up a list of actors who opposed the Gaza genocide and will not allow them to appear in its films and TV shows.

Does this sound familiar?

Also, "Ellison is reportedly aiming to take over Warner Bros. next."

It sure looks like the likes of Javier Bardem, Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone, and Mark Ruffalo won’t be making movies for Paramount in the foreseeable future.

We're putting Bill Kristol in a key position in Woke HUAC, more and more are saying it
Abolish Border Patrol.

paramount trying to dress up their blacklist like HUAC TUA GOTTA MCCARTHY ON THAT THING

I always feel sorry for Hayden - an early foe of HUAC, he was told (in the middle of a divorce) that Communists don't get to see their kids, so he named names, and regretted it all his life. (Probably why he drank)

This should have never been dismissed as conspiratorial thinking. Guilt by association with one of the world's most prolific abusers is fine. There should be a HUAC that calls up every freak in the Epstein email logs and every elite caught rubbing elbows with him in photos from dinner parties.

I'm not up on Hollywood history to know if studio execs were this fucking stupid during the HUAC days. I'm assuming they were. Maybe executives have always been this stupid.

Resisting the witch hunt of McCarthyism, Marcus appeared as an “unfriendly witness” before HUAC and the Joint Investigative Committee in the Mass. House and Senate. He worked for his family’s food brokerage firm until retirement in 1969.

If only we’d seen this coming.

If you haven’t seen that traveling exhibition on HUAC and the Hollywood blacklist that was last at the New York HISTORICAL!! I do recommend it. Don’t actually know where else it might be going.

Anyway we’re living it so also that.

We did and your ideas are dogshit, that's why we don't listen to you anymore.

Well, that plus HUAC and COINTELPRO were completely bipartisan.

The people who seek to censor academia have always loved to pitch it as a way to "promote freedom of thought and expression"

• Cold‑War repression – House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) hearings target IWW and left‑leaning student groups; many activists are blacklisted and criminalized. This repression hardened anti‑establishment sentiment that is still culturally prevalent in the PNW today.

HBD Lee Grant, who turns either 98 or 100 today! She's not just an Oscar winning actor, but also a prolific director, including the feature "Tell Me A Riddle" (1980). Grant was blacklisted for 12 yrs by HUAC starting in the '50s for refusing to testify against her then-husband

If only the ‘LGB without the T’ gays had listened to trans people, rather than gleefully wanting our demise.

I wonder how this ‘log cabin’ couple are starting to feel right now?

Frightened, I hope.

One of the bigger flaws of this website is letting weird, strangely well connected freaks construct their own HUAC with the power to un Person you for no reason that gets you crossfire from loTs of normal accounts

As Robeson said before the HUAC, "I am going to stay here, and have a part of it just like you. And no Fascist-minded people will drive me from it. Is that clear?"

I would never be associated with such an un-American organization.

To prep for the higher ed policy class on censorship next week, I'm rereading Schrecker's No Ivory Tower. Buddy this intro has it all! SCOTUS jumping on the bandwagon, disregard of first amendment rights, why congressional hearings played such a key role, how private companies aided the government.

I used to have a list of the actors Smith referenced for that book. The one that really stood out was Sterling Hayden for Alan Scott, who had his own real life issues with HUAC.

I remember when he reported Donald and Goofy to HUAC.
