When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

A beautiful example of someone living their faith. I can only imagine the threats and vitriol that she has received. My heart breaks for her. I do hope other prominent members of faithful communities join in her calls for mercy and kindness and compassion. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsKZ...

"Post it on your social media." Thank you, Mr. Acosta.
Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Four years ago, officers of the law stood their ground to protect Members of Congress and staff as violent insurrectionists stormed the Capitol.
These brave officers were beaten, crushed, bear sprayed, maced, and left to defend democracy with their bare hands.
