Friday’s Weekly Round-Up – 715

Ed Sanders recent  “glyphs” appearing in Counterpunch, on a pretty-much regular weekly basis, are trenchant and lively exhortations and not to be missed.
The most recent one, “Exorcism of The White House, 2025”, a timely update on the original 1968 declaration can be read and perused (and enacted!) here

and this (from last month’s “Presidential Moments of Heartbreak Hotel” glyph):
“Watching Allen Ginsberg in the 1970s become so upset with Henry Kissinger’s shenanigans that Allen’s teeth became worn down with gnashing them in anguish.”

Ed Sanders, on The Life of Allen Ginsberg – here and here
