with the federal government is now saying and doing 100 years after tulsa. my fellow americans, this was not a riot. this is a massacre. when all in starts right now. good evening from new york. i m chris hayes. the specter that haunts american politics on this june 1st, 2021, is the one that we saw on june 1st 2021 year ago today. amidst widespread peaceful protests against police brutality, the nation s capital washington d. c.. president donald trump ordered the forces of the state to attack protesters in thailand provoking, physical violence including assaulting these australian journalists to clear them from the park across from the white house so that donald trump could have a photo up featuring a bible. trump s orders, the police chief chased away american citizens with what appeared to be tear gas. trump s white house denied they used tear gas on protesters and it was not until last week that a lawyer of the d. c. police admitted in court that yes, they did use te
investigation. plus, incredible new reporting on the moral panic machine scaring school boards across america, and nicole hannah jones on the history behind it all and while you may see a summer sequel to the airport run of senator ted cruz but all in starts right now. good evening from new york. i m chris hayes. i know my own name. i have said it before and i m sure i will say it again, it was not for lack of trying that donald trump did not steal the election. the reason that the will of the american people was respected that we had a transition of power, albeit not a peaceful one, was because of a combination of a few islands of integrity. officials and judges and folks like that, some dumb luck and the incompetence of the faction attempting to sabotage american democracy. we have more evidence of this today. but it s just the latest example. it has been clear since last november, donald trump would bully, badger, intimidate anyone he could in an attempt to install himself
disinformation campaign against vaccines. so, maybe it doesn t work and they are simply not telling you that. and how the signature policy achievement for democrats is yielding unbelievably good results. when all in starts right now. good evening from new york. i m chris hayes. after 27 years on the supreme court, today we learned that justice stephen breyer was 83 years old, is retiring. justice breyer is one of the three remaining liberal justices in the sits jury court. it is a huge announcement. this morning, when nbc news broke the story, it was that rare push alert on my phone that actually gave me kind of a sense of relief. because usually when something pops up, these days, it s like, oh god, what now? the broader announcement is still not official, in fact, the white house is expected to make a formal announcement about his retirement tomorrow. we expect the president and prior to appear together. for his part, today, biden declined to appear today until make
governor, all three were dudes. these dudes. and this was 1967 and 1975 when he was governor, so, maybe that is just par for the course. but when reagan ran for president in 1980, that record came back around and bit him a little bit. all through the 1960s and 70s, believe it or not, the republican party platform, nationally, had explicitly and it through the astley supported the equal rights amendment, the era, the constitutional amendment that would guarantee equal legal rights for all citizens regardless of sex. the equal rights amendment had been kicking around for decades by that point, even for generations by that point. and the republican party, nationally, had said for years on its platform that was explicitly in favor of it. until they picked ronald reagan as their presidential nominee in 1980. reagan was really right when. and he was a culture war kind of conservative. and sticking it to the feminists was exactly the kind of thing that he built his campaign around.
