    There's a difference between constitutionally protected free speech and acts of civil disobedience that could lead to arrests. Still, it's not clear that Renee Good in Minneapolis was interfering illegally with ICE operations. And civil disobedience isn’t terrorism under traditional definitions. Also: today’s stories, including how the Trump White House wants to make sure Smithsonian museum exhibits conform to its ideology; how efforts to diversify rare earth supply chains are bringing new attention to war-ravaged Myanmar; and how since the start of the war in Ukraine and Western sanctions, getting from Russia to the rest of Europe has become a frustration. Join the Monitor's Ira Porter for today's news.

A Justice Department criminal probe of Fed Chair Jerome Powell may signal new risk to this principle. Also: today’s stories, including how AI is steadily becoming a greater part of people’s daily lives, how Central American politicians are offering fewer freedoms to win more votes, and one Monitor writer's selection of recently released art books. Join the Monitor's Kurt Shillinger for today's news.

    President Donald Trump’s withdrawal from dozens of global organizations – many focused on climate issues and human rights – was swiftly condemned by U.S. allies. One power that increasingly has stepped into the leadership breach is China. Also: today’s stories, including a look at two Supreme Court cases involving whether the Constitution’s guarantee of equal protection under the law extends to transgender people competing in single-sex sports; how more women are emerging into leadership roles in Latino Christian churches; and the rise of women’s sports in England. Join the Monitor's Clay Collins for today's news.
