A Proclamation on Second Chance Month, 2023

Politics

     America has always been a land of second chances, founded on fresh starts, new possibilities, and the belief that every person deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.  During Second Chance Month, we recommit to helping people forge the new beginnings they have earned and building a safer and more just society.      I believe in redemption — but for hundreds of thousands of Americans released from State and Federal prisons each year, or the nearly 80 million who have an arrest or conviction record, it is not always easy to come by.  A criminal record can prevent…

Politics

There is a lot of pro-Putin bias in the Western world.

Statement from President Joe Biden on Transgender Day of Visibility

Politics

On Transgender Day of Visibility, we celebrate the strength, joy, and absolute courage of some of the bravest people I know. Transgender Americans deserve to be safe and supported in every community – but today, across our country, MAGA extremists are advancing hundreds of hateful and extreme state laws that target transgender kids and their families. No one should have to be brave just to be themselves. Let me be clear: These attacks are un-American and must end. The bullying, discrimination, and political attacks that trans kids face have exacerbated our national mental health crisis. More than half of transgender youth say…
