The Supreme Court is absolutely wrong. Torture is never free speech. It's just torture. And faith has been used at different times to try to justify torture, and it's always, always been wrong.

Tonika Lewis Johnson's Folded Map Project connects residents known as 'map twins' who live on the same street name but miles apart, revealing structural inequality and personal commonality.

Keep state as close as possible to where it's actually used. Lift it when multiple components need it or you need to coordinate behavior between components.

U.S. District Judge Charles Simpson issued a one-page ruling Friday throwing out charges against Joshua Jaynes and Kyle Meany, two former officers involved in crafting the Taylor warrant.

"We are building the movement. We are pulling more people in, and we're keeping them engaged and activated."

The labor of this kind of organizing was invisible and deeply exhausting. In a precarious workplace, where a so-called 'performance review' could amount to job loss, organizing meant building a bridge while standing on it.

My goals for 2026 are to advance affordable housing, protect public land for public good and strengthen neighborhood resiliency. I am focused on ensuring city agencies are responsive to community concerns, supporting small businesses and making Lower Manhattan more livable for working families.

Botstein is a figure on this campus that has ultimate power. He is often likened to a king by faculty that can wave his wand and do whatever.

If you were getting pot in the late '70s or early '80s in this part of the country, there's a good chance it may have been coming from these guys. You've got these guys who served decades in prison for marijuana, and now they're getting out into a world where it's legal everywhere.

When you have people sleepwalking into an authoritarian regime, it's up to us to sound the alarm. People feel isolated, helpless and hopeless. And when you hear about other people who are just like you taking a stand and representing something that you believe, that gives you not only hope, but it gives you power.

Accepting the award, Roan said she felt "very uncomfortable being told that [she's] a good person", which she put down to "Christian guilt". Roan then told the teleprompter operator she'd cut her speech down to a quarter of its original length, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Addressing the crowd, which included the likes of Chaka Khan, Joni Mitchell, Olivia Rodrigo, Doechii, and Addison Rae, Roan urged people to give back.

The order names a problem that anyone who has spent time in civic life recognizes. Too often, "community" is defined by the few who repeatedly show up or happen to be in the room. That is not because they care more, but because they have the time, flexibility, and familiarity with civic processes that many New Yorkers do not. When those voices are treated as synonymous with an entire district, our understanding of the public and consensus becomes distorted.

It's an incredible moment the city of Richmond is in and I feel we have a great opportunity to do bigger things. I feel like I have been showing the community how I can do things and deliver. As mayor, I will be the no-nonsense, results-oriented leader that Richmond needs today.

Brown was sitting in a Toledo coffee shop, having just finished a roundtable discussion about rising health-care costs. A small group of Ohioans had expressed all manner of concerns about how they would afford their medical bills, co-pays, and prescriptions. This was the kind of event that Brown used to do a lot of before he departed the Senate after losing reelection in 2024.

In an Instagram post, Equal Rights Oregon announced that "after thoughtful consideration," it was moving forward with the "difficult decision" not to pursue Initiative Petition 33, known as the Equal Rights for All measure. The measure would have let Oregon vote on adding a constitutional amendment stating that equal rights "shall not be denied or abridged" based on "a) pregnancy/pregnancy outcomes and related health decisions; b) gender identity and related decisions; c) sexual orientation, including the right to marry."

Screenshot Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) had a microphone snatched right out of his hand Friday night as he spoke at the Oldham County, KY, Republican Party's Lincoln Day Dinner. Massie was in the midst of saying, If you are a congressman, you work not for the Speaker of the House, I work for you! pointing to the audience, when event emcee and state House Speaker David Osborne (R) decided he'd heard enough.

In the United States, we haven't yet seen rifles aimed at large crowds, but we do observe masked federal agents detaining protesters in unmarked vehicles, flashy ICE raids staged like military operations and pardons for political violence all clear warning signs. Ignoring this is the first step toward complacency, which can kill liberty. Fascism is often misunderstood. It is not just political oppression; it is a set of traits, as scholars and observers point out,

In his "Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination," Robin D.G. Kelley explains that "a map to the new world is in the imagination." There are so many emergencies right now-ICE abductions, decriminalization of anti-Black racism, the political hijack of the struggle against antisemitism and anti-Blackness, unauthorized military aggression abroad, a climate crisis accelerated-that it's hard to know where to direct our resistance.

Zoom out: After a bitter falling out with President Trump last year and threatening to start a third party, Musk is now firmly back in the GOP camp. Those donations followed a November dinner Musk had with Vice President Vance, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Taylor Budowich. Musk has indicated privately to Republican operatives that he plans to give more.

King's intuition was that white people with lower incomes would support this type of policy because they could also benefit from it. In 1967, King argued, "It seems to me that the Civil Rights Movement must now begin to organize for the guaranteed annual income . . . which I believe will go a long, long way toward dealing with the Negro's economic problem and the economic problem with many other poor people confronting our nation."
