| Black Youth-Organized Millions March NYC Draws Tens of Thousands in Movement’s Biggest Protest Yet |
 |
| I have a dream: equality for all. |
Saturday’s nationwide actions against police killings and racial profiling included a "Millions March" across the USA that drew tens of thousands to the streets of New York City. It was the largest single protest of the post-Ferguson/post Eric Garner movement and the culmination of daily actions in New York City since a prosecutor swayed another grand jury not to indict the group of police officers who killed Eric Garner. After gathering in Washington Square Park, a massive crowd spanned dozens of city blocks as it marched uptown before turning around and closing at police headquarters downtown. Democracy Now!’s Aaron Maté and Samantha Riddell were in the streets to speak to the protesters who came out and the young black organizers who made it happen.

- Graphic new details of the post-9/11 U.S. torture program came to light Tuesday when the Senate Intelligence Committee released a 500-page summary of its investigation into the CIA with key parts redacted. The report concludes that the intelligence agency failed to disrupt a single plot despite torturing al-Qaeda and other captives in secret prisons worldwide between 2002 and 2006, and details a list of torture methods used on prisoners, including waterboarding [a mock execution simulating drowning], sexual threats [of sodomy with] broomsticks, and "rectal feeding."
