Summer is a good time for kids to learn new things.

So my 15yo & I sat down and watched a 1967 #FiringLine in which #WilliamFBuckleyJr and #RobertVaughn debated American involvement in the Vietnam War.

We paused periodically for questions and discussion. This clip was the highlight that got me up on my feet clapping.

Well, the Chinese artist Ai Weiwei said last year on #PBS #FiringLine that most Americans already live in an oppressive authoritarian surveillance state. We just are not able to acknowledge it openly and honestly.

Louisville police engaged in pattern of misconduct, Justice Dept. finds

The two-year federal investigation was prompted by the 2020 police killing of Breonna Taylor and is expected to result in court-mandated changes

@FiringLineShow RT by @aiww: This week, #FiringLine reairs one of our favorite episodes. Our guest is an artist and activist who was imprisoned for standing up to a repressive regime in #China, and sees dangers of authoritarianism rising in the U.S. #GuesstheGuest https://nitter.hongkongers.net/FiringLineShow/status/1631295101648486400#m

I've posted a couple videos today of Allen Ginsberg reading his own poems. Below is a remarkable hour of US television & an amazing time-capsule that also has universal appeal. It's Ginsberg on Firing Line debating with Bill Buckley. It was recorded on May 7, 1968—a heady time in world politics & social rebellion. Ginsberg, as expected, was fascinating & charismatic.

Colorado’s Margaret Hoover Firing Line:

“Discusses with Barr his high-profile resignation from the Trump administration, the state of the DOJ, and the current investigations of Trump.”

Conservative Hoover, does an excellent job pushing Barr, asking tough questions… all following up with “REALLY?” .
