    Why India Is Using Emergency Laws to Ban a Modi Documentary
    https://time.com/6249393/the-modi-question-documentary-bbc-india-controversy/
    Last Tuesday, the British Broadcasting Corporation released the first episode of “The Modi Question,” a two-part documentary series that tracks how the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi climbed the political ranks of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party during his time as the Chief Minister of the state of Gujarat. The documentary was originally broadcasted in the U.K., but it quickly generated hype in India after unauthorized video clips began circulating on social media platforms, reminding viewers of Modi’s controversial role in the 2002 Gujarat riots—and prompting the Indian government this week to block it from being aired on Indian platforms. What is the documentary about? The 59-minute documentary takes an in-depth look at the 2002 Gujarat riots—one of the worst outbreaks of religious violence in India since the country’s Independence in 1947. It traces how the riots erupted after a train carrying Hindu pilgrims in the northern state of Gujarat was set on fire and killed 59 people. The Muslim community was allegedly held responsible for the incident, leading to heightened retaliatory attacks and the further deaths of over 1,000 people, the majority of whom were Muslim. The riots took place under Modi’s watch, who at the time was Gujarat’s Chief Minister. Raw and chilling footage in the documentary reveals how the police stood by as Hindu mobs attacked Muslims and religious attacks took hold of the state.

    In Confidential Memo, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen Celebrated Unemployment as a “Worker-Discipline Device”
    https://theintercept.com/2023/01/24/unemployment-inflation-janet-yellen/
    Yellen wanted this to be the best of all possible worlds, but the best world she could conceive of was terrible. What makes the memo so telling is threefold. First, while expressed in abstruse technical language, it shares a perspective with the most radical left-wing critiques of capitalism. Yellen goes 90 percent of the way to proclaiming, “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.” Second, Yellen is not, of course, calling for a proletarian revolution. Rather, as Noam Chomsky has pointed out, “vulgar Marxist rhetoric is not untypical of internal documents in the government,” just “with values reversed.” In Yellen’s case, she is making the case for, as she writes, the positive “impact of heightened job insecurity.” A rise in worker insecurity in the mid-1990s meant everyone was too scared to ask for raises, which meant businesses wouldn’t need to hike prices, which meant even with the falling unemployment at the time, the Fed didn’t need to raise interest rates to slow the economy and throw people out of work. Third, Yellen is not a monster. Indeed, from the perspective of regular Americans, she’s about as good as it gets at the summit of power. The problem, for those of us down here on the ground, is her overall worldview. She might personally want things to be nicer but is certain the science of economics places incredibly sharp limits on the possible, and all we can do is try to make small improvements within those limits.

    The San Francisco Inquirer looks like local news. Here’s why politicians are furious with the site
    https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/The-San-Francisco-Inquirer-looks-like-local-news-17732331.php
    A New York consultant who reportedly published false news articles about political figures has created a website called the San Francisco Inquirer, which is designed as a local news site but appears to be an effort to pressure federal lawmakers into supporting the consultant’s client, a Bay Area-based tribe. The website has so riled California lawmakers that it was recently the subject of a tense meeting in Washington, D.C., between the tribe’s chair and five members of Congress, according to audio of the meeting obtained by The Chronicle. In late 2022, the Inquirer began publishing articles castigating Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-San Jose, and others, saying they were impeding the Castro Valley-based Muwekma Ohlone Tribe’s effort to obtain official recognition. Many of the lawmakers who have been the subject of Inquirer stories say their positions have been misrepresented and that they were never contacted by the outlet, which relies often on unnamed sources and does not identify who wrote its articles.

    'Heinous': Tyre Nichols's family, Crump view police footage of arrest after Nichols's death
    https://news.yahoo.com/heinous-tyre-nicholss-family-crump-view-police-footage-of-arrest-after-nicholss-death-220813595.html
    On Monday, the family of 29-year-old Tyre Nichols, a Black man killed by Memphis, Tenn., police, saw the footage of the arrest for the first time. In a press conference held at Mt. Olive Cathedral CME Church in Memphis, the family stood alongside civil rights attorney Ben Crump and his legal team and described what they saw in the video. Crump says Nichols’s mother couldn’t get through the first minute before getting emotional over the death of her youngest son. Crump said that the officers brutalized Nichols and caused his death. He described the video as appalling. “It is deplorable, it is heinous, violent, it is very troublesome on every level.” “Regrettably it reminded us of the Rodney King video, and unlike Rodney King, Tyre did not survive,” Crump added. Crump’s co-counsel described Nichols as defenseless in the video. “He was a piñata to those police officers, it was an unadulterated, unabashed nonstop beating of this young boy for three minutes,” lawyer Antonio Romanucci said during the press conference. Crump says Tyre asked, “What did I do?” and said “I just want to go home” several times during the arrest. And during the final moments in the video, Tyre called out for his mom multiple times while he was less than 100 yards from his home. Crump acknowledged that the officers involved were Black, but said that it’s “not the race of police officers that is the determining factor of the excessive force that will be exerted, it is the race of the citizen,” Crump said.

    US proposes once-a-year COVID shots for most Americans
    https://apnews.com/article/health-immunizations-covid-cdd627b7daee5c2f7ebc984a3d9357db
    In documents posted online, FDA scientists say many Americans now have “sufficient preexisting immunity” against the coronavirus because of vaccination, infection or a combination of the two. That baseline of protection should be enough to move to an annual booster against the latest strains in circulation and make COVID-19 vaccinations more like the yearly flu shot, according to the agency.
