Happy New Year! We love sharing these pro-book posters from the Works Projects Administration Poster Collection in the Library's Prints and Photographs Division. Of the 2,000 WPA posters known to exist, the Library of Congress's collection of more than 900 is the largest.

Honestly, one of the worst thing that ever happened to the public’s understanding of economics was this idea that it bears any resemblance to domestic budgeting.

It is a sobering thought to realize that we're watching the leaders of American universities determine whether critical thinking-- and by extension, the #humanities --are still worthwhile investments.

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis

Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today.

We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

British Courts Service Destroys Banksy Mural Depicting Attack by Judge The work, painted onto the walls of one of Britain’s most important court buildings, showed a judge attacking a demonstrator with a gavel.

Banksy's latest work, depicting a judge attacking a protester with a gavel, is gone — just two days after it appeared on one of Britain’s most prestigious court buildings. It was destroyed, a courts spokesman said, to maintain the "original character" of the building.

Du kan simpelthen ikke give folket en større "lad dem spise kage-fuckfinger" end at fjerne afgift på kaffe og chokolade i en periode hvor priserne på de mest basale fødevarer er stukket helt af og mange dårligt kan få tingene til at løbe rundt

Som lærer i udskolingen i den danske folkeskole, kan jeg fortælle at "bøsse" og "homo" lever i bedste velgående som skældsord. Vi har endda "autist" og n-ordet i fuldt flor også.

During these unprecedented times, it’s important to remember that, although rare, ‘precedented’ is a word.

I recognize this is an exceedingly difficult time and for many of you this is a crisis on several levels. I respect those challenges and I don't consider press rights superior to the rights of others. However, all other rights depend on press rights. We cannot allow them to be chilled. This was explained by civil rights icon and longtime congressmember John Lewis:

"If it hadn't been for the media, for brave, courageous journalists, the civil rights movement would have been like a bird without wings."

Democracy cannot function without an informed public. The public cannot be informed without a free press. It is your shared responsibility to ensure press are able to do their job. Several of you have been supportive over the years and I thank you for that. But your support is now needed more than ever. Please ensure your teams are aware of these egregious violations and ensure you take all possible steps to protect the press, and thereby the public and our country itself.

Sincerely,
Adam Rose
Press Rights Chair
Los Angeles Press Club

Dozens of journalists were assaulted by law enforcement in Los Angeles this weekend.

The press were just doing their job -- a sacred one explicitly protected by law.

Press rights orgs will follow up collectively tomorrow.

Tonight, I emailed evidence to local/state/federal officials. My sign off:

Between Greta Thunberg and her fellow activists being kidnapped by Israel and Trump turning LA into his personal war zone, I hope people realise that protest, no matter how peaceful, will always be met with violence by dying empires.

En mistillidserklæring til dommerne og retsstaten. Prominent professor går til angreb på strafreformen Hummelgaard stoler tydeligvis ikke på dommernes retfærdighedssans, mener Jørn Vestergaard.

Truslen mod retsstaten kommer i disse tider fra alle højeste sted. "Med reformen sætter Peter Hummelgaard og co. spørgsmålstegn ved selve dommernes retfærdighedssans." Trumpismens har stor opbakning fra kongerigets politiske parnas #dkpol

Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible.

We have always been here.

This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?
