For those of us who believe in democracy, justice and human rights, the first months of the Trump administration have been infuriating. On a daily basis, the president finds new ways to recklessly dismantle our government, trample sacred institutions, and break the law with seeming impunity. It’s no wonder so many Americans feel a deep sense of hopelessness. I’ve felt it myself. But I was raised to hold onto hope, even on the darkest days.

The Trump administration would have you believe that the 288 human beings kidnapped off our streets and flown to El Salvador last month without due process, in violation of a judge’s order, are all gang members. We believe that is a lie. My organization, Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights, is representing 10 Venezuelan clients who were taken by ICE agents. The vast majority were in the United States legally.

Last week would have been my father Robert F. Kennedy’s 99th birthday. As attorney general, his career — and enduring legacy — was built on his commitment to the fair, just and equal application of law. Nowhere was this more evident than his efforts to reform our bail system. In 1964, my father reminded the Senate at a hearing on bail legislation that in America we presume everyone is innocent until proven guilty.

Patriotic education has become a top political priority in Hong Kong in the wake of years of social unrest, yet this emphasis is nothing new. Tung Chee-hwa, the city’s first chief executive, was a strong supporter of integrating Chinese values into young people’s education. Tung’s successor, Donald Tsang Yam-kuen, and his administration developed Hong Kong’s first attempt at national education in the form of a new school subject, moral and national education.

Quando sono a Firenze, mi sento a casa! Questa città significa molto per tutta la famiglia Kennedy e per tutto ciò che facciamo per i diritti umani. Nel 1966, quando Firenze fu colpita dall’alluvione, la mia famiglia partecipò alla sua ricostruzione. Avevo 14 anni la prima volta che sono venuto qui e oggi Firenze ha a cuore RFK. Qualche settimana fa, abbiamo ricevuto il Pegaso d’Argento dal Presidente della Toscana, Eugenio Giani.

The interrogation room is cramped and windowless. The police officer sitting across from the teenager and his mother begins to read the teen his Miranda rights. The words flow easily, familiar to anyone who has ever watched a police TV drama: “You have the right to remain silent.” After the officer asks the teen if he is willing to answer questions without a lawyer present, the teen hesitates. “No,” he says haltingly. The interrogation should have ended right then and there.

Writing in any language is an act of translation. Putting thoughts to paper is an imperfect act, made more difficult when the subject matter is of a technical nature. What results is only an imitation, a best-effort translation, of the writer’s original intentions. The pieces that comprise this work attempt to make topics for a niche audience — such as open access publishing or Great Lakes weather phenomena — universal, paying special attention to accessible and engaging language and structure.

Mahmoud Hussein has endured 10 years of physical and emotional torture in Egypt for wearing a T-shirt with an anti-torture slogan to a rally. He will likely endure more, unless the international community, including the United States, successfully places enough pressure upon the Egyptian government to end this shameful and continuous injustice against the 28-year old, who has family ties to the U.S.The outrageous story of Hussein — the “T-Shirt Detainee” — has reached a breaking point recently.
