The government cannot stop you from informing others about their legal rights. Know your rights when educating your community.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

I talked to Mahmoud Muna about the raid on his famous Jerusalem bookstore. At one point, the police considered confiscating George Orwell's 1984. You can't make this stuff up. peterbeinart.substack.com/p/mahmoud-mu...

I am not making this up: Republicans have introduced legislation… to increase your bank fees.

In just a few short weeks, President Trump has already launched one of the most aggressive assaults on human rights of any presidential administration. If he continues on this path, he will cause more chaos and violence both at home and abroad.

Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day! For humpback whales, love is a high-speed chase. Male whales gather in competitive groups, vying for the attention of a female humpback who leads the way.

Trump Killed a Major Report on Nature. They’re Trying to Publish It Anyway. The first full draft of the assessment, on the state of America’s land, water and wildlife, was weeks from completion. The project leader called the study “too important to die.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/c...
