She fought apartheid, defended Nelson Mandela, and helped change how the world prosecutes sexual violence. Today, at 85, Navi Pillay was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. What an extraordinary woman. 💜 #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance

Read the Damn Book: Banned Books Week Is About Who Gets to Decide What You Read
Banned Books Week may end, but the fight over who gets to decide what other people may read continues. From 1984 and Maus to Gender Queer, The Bluest Eye, and The Hate U Give, these frequently challenged books deserve something far more useful than outrage: read them, question them, and judge them for yourself.

Not happening, Donald! Just days after claiming it would be a “great discredit” if he didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize, the prize went to South African anti-apartheid lawyer and human rights judge Navi Pillay.

22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million so far to defeat Prop 40. By spending their fortunes trying to stop California from taxing billionaires, they're making the argument for a billionaire wealth tax more clearly and articulately than anyone else possibly could.

As Transportation Secretary, I could always count on a Congressional Republican to take credit for an infrastructure win that they had voted against. That's the type of behavior that makes people cynical about politics - but it doesn't have to be that way.

Federal immigration goons use their vehicles to confront a crowd of demonstrators protesting ICE in Tacoma, in what eyewitnesses say was an attempt by the suspected Feds to intimidate them. You can see the crowd stand their ground, and the goons drive off.
