4 panel cartoon, very crudely drawn stick figures, in classroom setting: 1. teacher/lecturer: So, in conclusion, you can see for these reasons and many others, viruses can be quite dangerous to human health 2. Question? Yes, you, go ahead 3. student/audience member rises & asks, But what if we don't like that and don't want it to be true? 4. Teacher/lecturer (arms raised in exasperation): Then the virus magically disappears and goes away

in addition to Harold and Maude, Bud Cort was in Altman's very odd Brewster McCloud, which opens with a banger version of Merry Clayton singing Lift Every Voice and Sing www.youtube.com/watch?v=vB-b...
two screenshots from the linked youtube clip from Brewster McCloud: top, a young Bud Cort in front of a reel to reel tape player, looking over his shoulder at the camera bottom: a newspaper covered in bird poop, with the partially obscured headline "Agnew: Society Should Discard Some U.S. People"

does the Newsweek link and ALT text make it more shareable for you?

Screenshot: Congressman Seth Magaziner tweets: They are still deporting veterans, above a screenshot of the Newsweek headline "Military Veteran Deported to Jamaica After 50 Years in US" with photo of a young Black man in military uniform, from the story explaining that "Godfrey Wade, a Jamaican-born lawful permanent resident and military veteran, was taken into custody last year by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and ultimately removed, despite appeals from his family and advocates."

Fascism as an attempt to save capitalism from its crises: stylized cartoon signed 'Budd,' showing a soldier (Roman legionnaire) standing over a broken barrel labeled 'capitalism' and shoring it up by applying around it a ring labeled 'fascism.'

Powell statement www.youtube.com/watch?v=KckG...
Good evening. On Friday, the Department of Justice served the Federal Reserve with grand jury subpoenas threatening a criminal indictment related to my testimony before the Senate Banking Committee last June. That testimony, concerned, in part, a multi-year project to renovate historic Federal Reserve office buildings. I have deep respect for the rule of law and for accountability in our democracy. No one, certainly not the chair of the Federal Reserve is above the law. But this unprecedented action should be seen in the broader context of the administration's threats and ongoing pressure. This new threat is not about my testimony last June or about the renovation of the Federal Reserve buildings. It is not about Congress's oversight role. The Fed, through testimony and other public disclosures, made every effort to keep Congress informed about the renovation project. Those are pretexts. The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Federal Reserve setting interest rates, based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the President. This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions, or whether instead, monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation. I have served at the Federal Reserve under four administrations, Republicans and Democrats alike. In every case, I have carried out my duties without political fear or favor, focused solely on our mandate of price stability and maximum employment. Public service sometimes requires standing firm in the face of threats. I will continue to do the job the Senate confirmed me to do with integrity and a commitment to serving the American people. Thank you.

#PDX #ICEOut
City Hall Vigil Tonight 6 PM Portland DSA Vigil at City Hall To Demand ‘ICE Out of PDX’ Over Shootings by Federal Agents WHERE: Portland City Hall WHEN: TONIGHT, January 8 at 6:00PM WHO: Portland DSA and affiliated elected officials, community members WHAT: Hours after federal agents shot two Portlanders, Portland DSA, its members, and affiliated elected officials will host a vigil at Portland City Hall to demand City Council take action. Portlanders are calling on ICE to halt activity in Portland. Today’s shootings come one day after ICE agents murdered Renee Nicole Good in broad daylight during the fascist Trump administration’s latest immigration operation in Minneapolis. WHY: ICE’s campaign of violence targeting immigrants and immigration activists requires immediate action from city officials. Federal officials, including Department of Homeland Security (DHS) head Kristi Noem, are already claiming local and state officials lack jurisdiction to investigate and prosecute ICE’s crimes.

In a brief, chilling declaration that should be replayed in journalism schools as a cautionary tale, the new anchor of CBS Evening News announced that the network would no longer rely on experts, academics, or intellectuals. Instead, CBS would now “take its cues” from what it called the average American — a phrase that has become the most abused euphemism in modern media. “On too many stories, the press has missed the story. Because we’ve taken into account the perspective of advocates and not the average American. Or we put too much weight in the analysis of academics or elites, and not enough on you.” That changes now, they said. And with that, CBS News died — not quietly, not accidentally, but proudly, on schedule, at 6:30 p.m. Eastern.

If you're like me and have been following this saga since last night, you were probably wondering when an employee at CBS News would have the integrity to leak the segment in full to the public, consequences be damned. Would it take days? Weeks? Would be ever see it? Well, you'll hardly believe what happened next. It turns out that Bari Weiss either didn't know (or forgot to check) that the segment she spiked for American viewers went out in a broadcast package to a streaming app called Global TV, which distributed the originally intended '60 Minutes' show, including the killed segment, to viewers worldwide earlier today.

apparently we can unredact them ourselves?
(haven't yet tried this myself)
morgan fairchild repost from anonymous on X: The Epstein filed on the DOJ website allow you to highlight the redacted text, copy it, and paste it into another document, which reveals what was hidden. You can also press Ctrl+F and search for "Trump " (with a space) to see his name appears more than 600 times .
