They're right! As soon as they're released, they're detained again. This is how it should be done. This response should be happening everywhere. Good on these judges! More of this please!

Tonight is a full boycott of the State of the Union. If there’s one thing Trump can’t stand, it’s low ratings 😉 MoveOn and MeidasTouch announced they’ll host a “People’s State of the Union” rally at 8:30 p.m. ET near the Capitol on the National Mall.

Susan Rice is right. Now Netflix must choose. The institutions and individuals who betrayed democratic principles will bear that mark of shame well into the future.

Susan Rice saw this moment coming. She described it plainly, and she was right.

Now, Netflix must decide which side of history it wants to be on.

The right choice is obvious. The only question is whether Netflix has the courage to make it. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/susa...

The Trump Administration Is Ending Aid That It Says Saves Lives The State Department will let lifesaving projects expire because “there is no strong nexus between the humanitarian response and U.S. national interests,” according to an internal email.

Quietly, the Trump administration is now ending even the life-saving aid that they had promised would be preserved

People need to understand what’s happening in Washington state because it’s outrageous and barely being covered by the news media. But I think it matters, and I think you’ll agree.

The state is facing growing legal & public scrutiny over widespread sexual abuse of juveniles in state custody.

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.

I can say from personal experience that Putin is threatened by strong women.

As I argue in a new piece in @foreignaffairs.com, he and his fellow autocrats have reason to fear us:

Defending women's rights and combating authoritarianism is the same fight.

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre.

She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s.

Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

You Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential Bid She’s only 36, and there’s a good argument that she should run for Senate and bide her time. But she also could be a formidable White House candidate.

from the perspective of someone who might want to be president, the best time to run for the white house is now, not later. so if AOC is thinking about it — if the white house is her ambition — then her best bet is to throw her hat in the ring

Yes he was handsome. But give some credit to the meticulous attention his wife Anna Murray Douglass paid to his care, his home, & the presentation of his garments. It was Anna, a free woman who he met in Baltimore, who out of her meager savings gave FD the money for his train ride to escape.

Alex Pretti was a VA ICU nurse who spent his career caring for veterans, often in their final hours. When I met his coworkers, they shared how he treated every patient as if they were the only one. Both Renee Good and Alex should be alive today.
