In a Plot Twist, George Mason’s Politically Embattled President Gets a Raise Gregory Washington’s outspoken defense of his diversity efforts and refusal to back down from the Trump administration’s attacks has drawn widespread support.

The Oversight Committee subpoenaed the DOJ for the Epstein files. They now have 2 weeks to release the files to the committee.

Trump Administration Halted Lawsuits Targeting Civil Rights Abuses of Prisoners and Mentally Ill People The DOJ’s Civil Rights Division had brought lawsuits accusing Louisiana of confining prisoners longer than they should and South Carolina of keeping mentally ill people in unreasonably restrictive group homes. Both cases are now on hold.

The Trump administration's decision to abandon lawsuits challenging civil rights violations in carceral facilities leaves incarcerated people vulnerable to more abuse.

The Department of Justice has a responsibility to defend the rights of incarcerated people.

In 1971, corporate attorney Lewis Powell drafted a memo urging Big Business to mobilize for political combat against consumer, labor, and environmental groups.

That roadmap kicked off the corporate takeover of modern American politics. Watch. https://youtu.be/bbbgfnpJN9w?feature=shared
