#art #history: in 1939, billie holiday - born eleanora fagan on this day in 1915 - threw a punch with the release of her recording of 'strange fruit' - &, if she'd not persisted, it may not have been released until much later. columbia refused, at first (‘they won’t buy it in the south’), to let billie include it even though it had been a central & permanent pillar of her repertoire during her tenure at cafe society.

a speech bubble near her left temple reads 'a strange & bitter crop'.

#Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner responds to Trump’s false claims of cheating in #Pennsylvania:

"The only talk about massive cheating has come from one of the candidates, Donald J. #Trump. There is no factual basis whatsoever within law enforcement to support this wild allegation. We have invited complaints and allegations of improprieties all day. If Donald J. Trump has any facts to support his wild allegations, we want them now. Right now. We are not holding our breath"
