The New York Times should give Daniel Hale proper credit and call for Biden to immediately pardon him. As long as he’s in prison, there is no justice. The New York Times recently came through with a display of reporting that should be commended. On December 18, the paper announced its release of hundreds of the Pentagon’s confidential reports of civilian casualties caused by U.S. airstrikes in the Middle East.

Imagine Teresa Sickles, the wife of U.S. congressman Daniel Sickles, gazing out her window overlooking Lafayette Square in D.C. day after day for a year, anxiously awaiting the shake of a handkerchief that would signal another meeting with her lover. At a young age, Teresa had been saddled with a much older husband who was not only a philanderer but someone who used his high-profile position to mask his degenerate behavior. When Philip Barton Key, the well-regarded district attorney, widower father, and son of the author of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” began showing a romantic interest, it must have been a sweet […]
Every element of the criminal system is implicated in the failure to secure justice for Breonna Taylor. The cops, per the judge who signed off the warrant that set the events leading to Taylor’s murder in motion, likely obtained that paperwork using fabricated information. Shoddy police work saw Louisville law enforcement raid Taylor’s home despite the fact that the suspect they sought was already in their custody. The three officers who killed Taylor wildly fired more than 30 rounds between them into the darkness of her apartment, pumping at least six fatal shots into her body. They then ignored their own […]

LONDON—Daniel Ellsberg, the whistleblower who exposed the underbelly of U.S. policy in the Vietnam War, has told a British court that the extradition of Julian Assange is part of an American effort to “crush” future whistleblowers. Ellsberg said the U.S. wanted revenge against the WikiLeaks founder just like the Nixon administration and the CIA plotted vengeance against him for his part in the publication of the Pentagon Papers. A British judge will rule on whether Britain can extradite Assange to the U.S. on 18 charges linked to the leak of hundreds of thousands of classified documents in 2010 and 2011. The […]

Daniel Prude was naked when Rochester, New York, police ordered him onto the snowy ground in March. The only thing besides handcuffs that officers placed on his body before he went unconscious?

His demise began after he experienced an apparent mental health crisis, prompting his brother, Joe, to place an emergency services call.
