Rev. Al pays tribute to civil rights icon Amelia Boynton Robinson, who recently passed at 104 – God bless her (and oh yeah, Al is getting moved to Sunday mornings on MSNBC, as part of that network’s supposed retreat from progressive programming, with other casualties including Ed Schultz and Alex Wagner; she wasn’t really progressive under any stretch of the imagination as far as I’m concerned – I say “supposed” because, with the possible exception of the years with “Countdown” at 8 PM EST with K.O., MSNBC wasn’t really ever “progressive” in the first place…and that includes Rachel Maddow who, as far as I’m concerned, is damn near close to unwatchable now)…
,,,and as this New York Times video tells us, to figure out what's going on with China's economy, try to follow the bacon (all I can say in response is the following: welcome to our world, at least when it comes to competition in exports)...
...also, Lawrence O'Donnell interviews Susan Sarandon about the effort to stay the execution of convicted death row inmate Richard Glossip in Oklahoma and get Glossip a new trial (petition is here)...
...and this may be hard to believe, but it's been 25 years since SRV left us - not sure that that void will ever really go away.
