  1. **From Steve Benen, editor of MaddowBlog and producer for “The Rachel Maddow Show”:** 

    In 1947, as Republican Sen. Joe McCarthy helped fuel a notorious “red scare,” the Committee for the First Amendment was formed to push back against the tide. Academy Award winner Henry Fonda, a few years after his decorated World War II military service, was among the committee’s earliest and most prominent members.

    Nearly eight decades later, his daughter is helping carry a very similar torch.

    “I’m 87 years old. I’ve seen war, repression, protest, and backlash. I’ve been celebrated, and I’ve been branded an enemy of the state. But I can tell you this: this is the most frightening moment of my life,” Fonda wrote in a letter inviting her peers to join the re-established group.

    Ideally, an American president and his team would focus their energies on affairs of state. But in recent months, Trump and his operation have shown a disproportionate interest in targeting celebrities.

    Before Fonda it was Ariana Grande. Before Grande it was Selena Gomez. Before Gomez it was Tom Hanks.

  2. Oh for fks sakes, this is old hat for ‘Hanoi’ Jane. She gives no fucs!

  3. Pretty sure she’s been there before, she’ll be fine. Fucker-in-chief can cry about it.

  4. They have *NO* original bone in their body, the white House is going through moth balls to find enemies lmao

  5. The absence of Billie Joe Armstrong (openly mocking and verbally abusing him at shows) makes me 100% certain that he’s a Green Day fan.

  7. Yeah put that 87 year old woman on that list. She looks very dangerous.

    /s

  12. Trump: remember how a billion years ago we all hated Jane Fonda?? Yeah I remember because I’m so old and senile that’s all I can remember. *Goofy idiotic half smile*

  13. This administration keeps making enemies…. At some point, they’ll run out of friends. I’m eager to see that point.

  14. She was the most famous useful idiot at the time – a privlidged American actress used by commies to hurt USA image….sorry she would have been blackballed in today’s world

  15. She’d be honoured. As would anyone with ethics, morals, compassion and intelligence. To be targeted by these scumbags means you are ineffably, unquestionably, and eternally on the right side of history.

  16. Same old, same old. I doubt she ‘ll take much notice at this stage. She’s 87, how pathetic is the Trump White House?

  18. Hasn’t every admin disavowed her? White House doesn’t usually cross the aisle during matters of war.

  19. I doubt she gives a shit, she would have been more surprised if they did target here imho

  20. Who the f cares who the White House doesn’t like this week? Have they issued a single useful, credible or intelligent statement in months? No.

  21. Love her or hate her you have to admit she’s fierce. Personally I love her.

  26. I hope to be targeted by Trump. That means that I’m doing something right in history

  28. LMAO I have to laugh at this line “As someone who actually knows what it’s like to be censored, President Trump is a strong supporter of free speech and Democrat [*sic*] allegations to the contrary are so false, they’re laughable.”

    Please like the same guy who wants all the Jimmy’s cancelled? THAT GUY? I could never grift like these guys I could never keep a straight face.

  30. If someone doesn’t stop trump we won’t have country anymore……

  31. Damn so glad people voted for this guy, really love that groceries are so low and we can get all the jobs that’s available
