The march started around 5:30pm with a somewhat disorganized start. The idea was the banners would be in the front of the march, but that idea was sometimes forgotten. The crowd seemed restless and walked fast. That might have been because it was 25 degrees out. The march turned onto Hiawatha Avenue, which blocked northbound traffic. Police cars rode behind and ahead of the march.

America s police and other law enforcement agents all too frequently use lethal violence. But in fact they are capable of great restraint and self-control when they decide to employ it. The decision to use force against a given person or group is all too often a function of skin color and politics. ....

Joe Biden's foreign policy is stuck in the 20th-century world

Shortly after taking office, President Joe Biden committed his administration s foreign policy to the pursuit of the US s cherished democratic values.
But Biden and his team appear wedded to 20th century narratives about the world and the US s role in it, writes Andrew Bacevich, president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft.
You may have noticed: The Blob is back. Beneath a veneer of gender and racial diversity, the Biden national security team consists of seasoned operatives who earned their spurs in Washington long before Donald Trump showed up to spoil the party.
So if you re looking for fresh faces at the departments of state or defense, the National Security Council or the various intelligence agencies, you ll have to search pretty hard. Ditto, if you re looking for fresh insights. In Washington, members of the foreign policy establishment recite stale bromides, even as they divert a ....

Pentagon weapons programs are rarely cancelled, no matter how poorly they performs, how much they go over budget, or how long they take to field.

In response, that person is canceled, perhaps losing a job or otherwise sidelined and silenced. ....

Whose Rights Matter in Pandemic America?

PANDEMIC POLITICS-In June 1990, future South African President Nelson Mandela addressed a joint session of Congress only months after being released from 27 years in a South African apartheid prison.
He reminded the political leadership of the United States that “to deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity. To impose on them a wretched life of hunger and deprivation is to dehumanize them.”
Three decades later, Congress would do well to finally heed that warning. In a moment of unprecedented crisis, when 140 million people in the richest country on the planet are poor or low-income, when tens of millions of them are on the verge of eviction and millions more have lost their healthcare in the midst of a pandemic, at a moment when Congress and the president are debating the next COVID-19 relief package, isn’t it finally time for human rights and guarantees to become the standard for any such set of policies? ....
