Most outrageously, the film insinuates w/o the faintest evidence that Holiday's would-be biographer, Linda Kuehl, was murdered by someone in Count Basie's entourage, presumably b/c she uncovered something nefarious abt Holiday when she was in Basie's band 40 years earlier. — PolitiTweet.org

Unfortunately, this is not the tactic taken in the new film Billie, where people are brought on to call her a "psychopath," "masochist," & "sex machine" who "sang from her crotch." The film victimizes her all over again. But Billie isn't the only one who's trashed in the film... — PolitiTweet.org

in Iraq, including 850 this year alone, each death a homicide. The war was the crime and, across three presidencies, its political architects, Pentagon managers, congressional funders, and journalistic enablers have gotten off scot free. In fact, most of them have been rewarded. — PolitiTweet.org
