Pretty embarrassed to be a Penn alum today. I don’t remember any classes where I was taught good things about the people who capitulate to authoritarianism and bigotry.

Violence intervention. Opioid overdose prevention. Support for victims. The Trump admin is cutting funding to programs that actually make our communities safer.

Call your reps. Support the orgs on the ground.

Speak up—our safety depends on it.

Gov. Youngkin commuted the sentence of a former police sergeant just 2 days after he was sentenced to 3 years in prison for reckless discharge of a firearm in the shooting death of Timothy Johnson.

As President Trump politicizes the justice system at a scale never before seen in US history, we can find hope in a crucial but overlooked role: the independent prosecutor.

Cristine Soto DeBerry explains why independent prosecutors are essential in @usatoday.com: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...
Our justice system held Trump accountable. Now he's weaponizing AG, DOJ against it. | Opinion
As Attorney General Pam Bondi weaponizes the Justice Department on behalf of President Trump, we need independent prosecutors more than ever.

This is one of the most patriotic letters I’ve ever read from the AUSA resigning over the Eric Adams case — who won two Bronze Stars in Iraq.

“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

Like and share if, like prosecutors Hagan Scotten and Danielle Sassoon, you condemn the use of prosecutorial power as a bargaining chip to influence elected officials.

We stand with the courageous DOJ prosecutors who refuse to be bullied and threatened into violating their oaths and abandoning the rule of law, including those resisting pressure to dismiss charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams.
