Every proposal from both major parties to tackle crime involves further intrusions into our privacy. The attacker was already known to the authorities—just like the perpetrator of the Nottingham attacks. So why is no one talking about the chronic underfunding of mental health services? #r4today

Early this morning, our city still plunged into darkness, I set off to walk the Brooklyn Bridge. As the sun came up, we were joined by canvassers, labor leaders, elected officials, and working people — a movement to bring a new day to our city. Tomorrow, we win it together.

No place is President Trump's crusade against free speech more evident than in public schools and universities. This new McCarthyism endangers our right to learn and speak free from government censorship, but President Trump can't rewrite the First Amendment no matter how hard he tries.

Amid Trump’s Assault on Free Speech, Advocates Stay Busy
Three nonprofit legal organizations say their caseload has ramped up significantly since Trump took office. But so has public support for their work. Jameel Jaffer, a civil rights litigator for more than 25 years, said there is no question that President Donald Trump’s assault on free speech is unprecedented in his lifetime. And while he noted there may be some rough comparisons to be made with the McCarthy era, it almost certainly has no parallel in the last 100 years.
