Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Wash. Post: Gov’t May End Registration Program
The Washington Post reports the Department of Homeland is expected to abandon a program that forced men living in the U.S. for 25 predominantly Muslim nations to register with the government. Over the last year thousands of men were arrested or deported when they showed up at government offices to register. Of the 83,000 visitors who voluntarily registered, nearly 14,000 were ordered to be deported.
