Alex Drueke and Andy Huynh told ABC News they expected death at any moment while imprisoned in a "black site."

"My mission was to keep Andy alive, and his mission was to keep me alive. So it was best to stop it early," he said. That's one of the worst feelings you can have," Huynh said. They said they have no regrets and are open to returning to Ukraine to help rebuild once the conflict ends. "It felt wrong just to sit back and do nothing," he said. Eventually, they said they were surrounded, ordered to their knees, their hands bound, and bags thrust over their heads. "I didn't want to do nothing. Huynh, 27, a Marine who was living outside Huntsville with his girlfriend, was working as a delivery driver and going to school when he watched the invasion on television. "We could see that there was a very good possibility this could grow into something much, much larger ... We didn't know how big this was going to get. "I did not go over there to fight specifically. We just wanted it to end," Huynh added.

Woodrow Wilson's postmaster put papers out of business and jailed journalists. The tools he used still exist.

“The number of political dissidents who served less than a year in prison,” he cautions in his book American Political Prisoners, “is simply too great to document.” But Burleson ruled that, because the Call had violated the Espionage Act, it was not a bona fide newspaper and so was not entitled to second-class privileges. Before long, the post office would ask the “cooperation of librarians in the matter of destroying all copies in their libraries, of books that have been declared unmailable.” Nor was it the only arm of the government to move beyond its jurisdiction. A “slapdash gathering of energy, youth, hope,” the critic Irving Howe later wrote, the Masses was “the rallying center…for almost everything that was then alive and irreverent in American culture.” Burleson replied that “the publications involved have neither been suppressed nor suspended, but particular issues of them which were unlawful have been refused transmission in the mails, as the law requires.” There were a few more mild complaints from Wilson, but only twice did Burleson bend to the president’s suggestions. He was so astute and secretive that his left hand never knew what his right was doing.” Rain or shine, he carried a black umbrella that he tapped on the floor or sidewalk while walking, for he suffered from gout but was embarrassed to reveal it by using a cane. Until the passage of the Espionage Act, two features had distinguished Burleson’s time in that office: his opposition to postal workers’ unions, which he felt were “a menace to our government,” and his zeal for segregation. At a time when there was no other way to distribute publications nationally, it gave the postmaster general the authority to declare any newspaper or magazine “unmailable.” That power could not have landed in more dangerous hands. Wilson wrote to the chair of the House Judiciary Committee, “The great majority of the newspapers of the country will observe a patriotic reticence about everything whose publication could be of injury, but in every country there are some persons in a position to do mischief.” This clause was voted down, and members of Congress promptly congratulated themselves on having preserved free speech. At risk, for instance, was anyone who “shall willfully make or convey false reports or false statements with intent to interfere with the operation or success of the military or naval forces of the United States.” The penalties were draconian: “a fine of not more than $10,000 or imprisonment for not more than twenty years, or both.” What could send you to jail for 20 years? Some 500 of Trump’s tweets attacked individual journalists by name, and at one point he accused the Times of “treason.” When Trump and Vladimir Putin—under whose rule some critical journalists have been assassinated—sat down for a press conference at a Group of 20 summit, Trump pointed to the reporters waiting in front of them and joked, “Get rid of them.”

Fires that swept across South America's Pantanal wetlands in 2020 burned thousands of square kilometres of critical jaguar habitat and may threaten the big ...

Jaguars have to roam farther to look for food, depleting their energy levels, which can ultimately result in lower reproductive rates. "High quality environments such as the Pantanal may often result in jaguars" being more clustered together, he said. Helping to fuel the fires, de Barros said, was "a perverse combination" of rising temperatures and a drop in water draining to the Pantanal due to deforestation of the Amazon and the Cerrado uplands.

Maya Wiley: “This poll confirms that voters are worried the cracks in our democracy are taking us down a dark path”. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The margin of error overall is +/ 3.1 percent, with a 95 percent confidence interval. The Leadership Conference works toward an America as good as its ideals. The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights is a coalition charged by its diverse membership of more than 230 national organizations to promote and protect the rights of all persons in the United States. Maya Wiley, president and CEO of The Leadership Conference said: “Voters across the country are very worried about the strength and resilience of our democracy — so much so that they are afraid we may be on the pathway to another civil war or that in five years we may no longer be a democracy. The national poll of 1,003 likely voters is the first commissioned on this topic by The Leadership Conference and comes at a time when the pillars of our democratic society are under constant attack. To the politicians who oppose sensible policy solutions because of those who would stoke fear, our research shows an American public that is still pro-civil rights and favors sound policies.
