Eugene Daniels is the coward who invited and then fired Amber Ruffin from entertaining at the White House Correspondents' dinner. After MSNBC was criticized for firing Joy Reid and other excellent non-White hosts, it decided to give Eugene his own show. He was Black, but he was also an Uncle Tom. His show will not be worth watching: if he was too afraid to hear Amber, who won't he be afraid to hear?

Absolutely all media organizations should drop their membership from the White House Correspondence Association, due to the WHCA's firing and censorship of talented comedian Amber Ruffin. Another reason to dump the WHCA: When Trump attacked the Associated Press, the response of the stupid cowardly "leadership" of the #WHCA was to wear pins saying "First Amendment" - a foolish gesture that accomplished nothing. #media #politics #cowardice

Jeff Stein: "Trump said about caving law firms and universities:
'They're all bending and saying, "Sir, thank you very much." Nobody can believe it.
Law firms are just saying, 'Where do I sign? Where do I sign'?"

Aaron Blake: "One of the fun parts of caving to Trump is he likes to remind people about how you caved to Trump, making it much harder to claim you didn't actually cave to Trump." #cowardice #politics #lawfare

There are reasons why influential or knowledgeable Americans are staying silent as the worsening fascist dictatorship of the Trumpsters and Musketeers gets more entrenched by the day.

Most of these reasons are simple cover for #cowardice.

“Cairo summit: US-Israeli rejection of the Arab Gaza plan is a moment of truth”

by Soumaya Ghannoushi in Middle East Eye

“The message to Arab regimes is stark: their efforts to craft a postwar scenario are, at best, irrelevant, and at worst, a nuisance to be brushed aside”
