For those who don’t intimately understand how news works and why Bari Weiss’s unearned elevation to head of CBS News matters, I’d recommend watching this in entirety. Also, will forever point out irony of how an admitted DEI hire thinks her hire was meritorious while Black people’s aren’t.

An opposition party who wants to win elections should run ads featuring these headlines and videos of ICE agents assaulting people. Say you’re going to make sure people face consequences for this type of behavior and hold public hearings over it.

In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear how he was injured). But when the patient was loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the ambulance driver: www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...

Documents Allege a Federal Agent at Portland ICE Threatened to Shoot an Ambulance Driver

Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

White people who have spent decades thinking “Born in the USA” is patriotic and “Every Breath You Take” is a great wedding song are suddenly very concerned about not being able to understand lyrics to some songs at the Super Bowl halftime show.

This is a really well done—I hope it catches on: A silent roadside protest staged over the weekend in Westerville, Ohio, and posted to the Facebook page of the Westerville Progressive Alliance.

The best way to start the day is by talking about all things BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER with my brilliant friends Jessica Ellis & Elizabeth Cantwell for an upcoming episode of #WatchWithJen pod. You'll hear other voices in it as well, incl. Elizabeth's insightful son Cooper who's new to the series.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Dozens of employees at the CDC — including “disease detectives,” high-ranking scientists and the entire Washington office — were notified late Friday that they were losing their jobs as part of the Trump administration’s latest round of federal layoffs.

Sometimes it's obvious that I'm the one who did the ordering for the bookstore, lol.

Prepping for Watch With Jen is like taking a different film survey course every week. Since I mostly leave the topic & movie choices to my guests, I'm always learning something new!

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.

Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.

And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

Future episodes of the BRING ME THE HAIR OF ANDY GARCIA! podcast would definitely include 8 MILLION WAYS TO DIE, CLINTON AND NADINE, HOODLUM and BIG GOLD BRICK - that's amazing hair-acting range!

I've fallen behind on sharing the outstanding Criterion discs I've received to cover as part of #WatchWithJen pod's Physical Media series. And I also want to say a big thank you to Ace Atkins for the advanced reader copy of his upcoming '80s spy novel EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD. Looks fab!

There’s an interview going around about AI, so before there are any questions, let me state unequivocally that BLACK PHONE 2 is 100% organic. AI was not used at any stage of the filmmaking from idea generation, research, look books, writing, onscreen images - anything. We’re old school and love it.
