A group of current and former Seattle police officers involved in the "Stop the Steal" rally on January 6, 2021, led by President Donald Trump, are seeking to preserve their anonymity in public court records through an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. The officers argue that revealing their identities could violate their privacy rights and deter individuals from expressing dissenting opinions.

One-third of those—over 2.7 million—were for misdemeanor offenses, charges often as minor as sitting on a sidewalk or jaywalking.

James Brown's song "Say It Loud – I'm Black and I'm Proud" has emerged as a defining anthem of the Black Power movement, promoting messages of Black pride and resilience. Concurrently, Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski has publicly opposed President Trump's intimidation tactics, highlighting the fear and political retaliation faced by those who challenge his authority. Furthermore, the legacy of Blanche Bruce serves as a poignant reminder of the significance of Black history and the enduring philosophy of "pull yourself up by your bootstraps," advocating for the removal of systemic barriers to achieve equity.
