I was tempted to post a simple "Ignore Tony, follow Harold!" message to Starmer, but as this article suggests, Wilson's "keeping the UK out of Vietnam" story is not quite that straightforward.

Happy Pub Date to my friend Shannon McKenna Schmidt for her newest book "You Can't Catch Us"--an inspiring (much-needed) story of Lady Bird Johnson's 1964 whistle-stop tour of the South to campaign for #LBJ & for Civil Rights. #BookSky #history #politics #civilrights

How Local Civil Rights Protests Produced an Increase in War on Poverty Spending Three social scientists crunched the numbers and found that counties where the Civil Rights Movement was active received almost 50 percent more War on Poverty spending than those counties that didn’t ...

Is American history repeating itself? The parallels between Biden and Lyndon B. Johnson: ANALYSIS Is American history repeating itself? The parallels between President Joe Biden and Lyndon B. Johnson.

Biden is very similar to LBJ. LBJ supported the Vietnam war. This allowed Richard Nixon to win the 1968 election.

#LBJ killed Kennedy to go full strength against the Vietnamese People, and go against Cuba

For heaven's sake #Democrats if you're ever going to grow a spine, reach across the Trench, and stop this 52 weeks ago was it. Now will have to do. Go to court. We need an #LBJ not #MilquetoastShumer

Don’t talk to me unless you’re ready to #burnitdown. These MFers protect the inner circle. #obama #clinton #bush #trump #nixon #lbj #carter #reagan The system was working as it was supposed to. The #Epstein files are not a corrupt anomaly they are radiograph showing the core of #American #democracy.

My #bookclub at #nyhistory #museum dug into the 1st book of #RobertCaro's bio of #LBJ, "The Path to Power." We can't decide: Did LBJ believe in anything except his own ambition? Did he care about the poor Hill County people of TX? (Answer: probably ...) #booksky #history

As a man of color in America, the president who probably had the biggest impact on my life today would be #LBJ because of his #GreatSociety programming and the protections of his #CivilRights laws. Yes, he was a racist son of a bitch but he cared about those folks deep down

Amazing how the #LeBronJames fanbase will glaze #LBJ for this, but not mention how many MORE games he’s played than the other 4, or how #Westbrook & #Jokic joined the #NBA well after he did. Shall we discuss how easy today’s game is with #StatPadding over #Winning as a priority?!?! 🤷🏽‍♂️🤦🏽☹️

For #PresidentsDay week-end I watched the 10 year old movie #LBJ directed by #ROBREINER which I never saw before. #WOODYHARRELSON was excellent IMO as #LyndonBainesJohnson who was thrust into the presidency after JFK died. It was a very IMPORTANT and consequential term with the VotingRightsAct...

LBJ Official Trailer (2017) Woody Harrelson, Movie HD YouTube video by ONE Media

This Presidents Day it's worth watching or rewatching #LBJ with Woody Harrelson produced BEFORE Trump got elected.

I saw it for the first time last week and it hit me much more profoundly than if I had watched it when it premiered. And Woody's performance is extraordinary.
