You don’t need to be a legal scholar to know the arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are violations of the First Amendment. Nonetheless, it’s always helpful to have a legal scholar around to explain the ugly details.

The Trump Administration Arrested Don Lemon Like He Was a Fugitive Slave
Lemon's arrest is not only a clear violation of the First Amendment but also a blatant throwback to the Constitution's long-discarded Fugitive Slave Clause.

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”

In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

This is not hard. Artists are not responsible for ensuring the Kennedy Center remains relevant and successful. The center’s board is responsible for that, in a fiduciary way. All of this energy being directed at artists should be re-directed at the board.

In more than 700 cases over five years, Georgia reported inadequate housing as the sole reason for taking a child into foster care, a @wabe.org and ProPublica analysis found.

Advocates say it would be cheaper to help families get housing.
