Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

Feds in military gear flood downtown Chicago; top border official says arrests based on 'how they look' The immigration agents were spotted making arrests in downtown Chicago and River North neighborhood early Sunday.

In which a top US Border Patrol official, incredibly, tells my tall and Anglo colleague @chipmitchell1.bsky.social that he's not the type they're looking for as they go about downtown Chicago arresting people based on "how they look"

Again and again we see federal judges standing up for the rule of law, and again and again these positive moments are undermined by the suspicion that SCOTUS will undercut them.

Canada issues warning for citizens with gender-neutral passports travelling to U.S. | CBC News The Canadian government is warning citizens who list "X" as their gender on their passports could have problems entering the U.S.

It would be better for Canadians (and others) not to travel to the United States at all.

ICE detains Des Moines Superintendent Dr. Ian Roberts Iowa's largest school district had "no confirmed information" on why ICE detained Dr. Ian Roberts, the superintendent since 2023.

Howt carry theirtt can you prove you are a citizen? Most people don't carry their birth certificate or passport with them every day. Maybe we should. But there is no evidence ICE will even ask for it.

First of hey illegally deport citizens, then they unleash ICE to terrorize communities. Now they’ve got the National Guard in L.A. to silence protesters.

This isn’t about law and order.

This is what authoritarianism looks like.
