#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.

Philadelphia lawyers appointed to help people challenge their convictions can instead urge judges to rule against them, and often do so without ever speaking to their clients.
How? By filing a letter arguing that the case has “no merit.”

Hello. Have you made a #capitalist uncomfortable?
Welcome to being a #terrorist in #America. A mom made a website tracking money flowing to the armed thugs shooting people. To #DHS, that is “anarchist extremism”, according to a secret intelligence bulletin DHS sent to local and federal law enforcement in February, targeting Berlin’s website. The nationwide alert was issued by the #Philadelphia PD; make it make sense.
DHS used the same alert for Berlin’s website as for domestic terrorists. In the past, DHS has used code HSEC SIN 8, (Homeland Security Standing Information Need 8) to flag information on ISIS beheading videos and pipe bombs in cities.
