Hulu's irksome "United States vs. Billie Holiday" is a stunning, soul-wrenching debut for Audra Day

comments
To full comprehend the hard road Billie Holiday traveled in her final years, see if you can get your hands on Lady in Autumn: The Best of The Verve Years. More than merely a compilation, these songs gleaned from sets recorded between 1946 and 1959, the year she died at age 44, create an unsparing biography of decline told through Holiday s voice. You can hear the ways that substance abuse and despair ravaged her voice, and you can also sense the spirit beneath it remained unbowed through those final sessions.
Whether Andra Day listened to this collection to inform her performance in The United States vs. Billie Holiday isn t stated in the press notes, but I hope she did because the story that collection tells is the one she s channeling onscreen. Like the life chapters each of those songs represents, the energy she delivers is extraordinary, soul-wrecking and undeniably true. ....

Starting with its title, there is no shortage of conflict in “The United States vs. Billie Holiday,” director Lee Daniels’ dispiriting portrayal of the federal government’s targeted pursuit of the great jazz singer from 1947 until her death in 1959 at the age of 44.
Referring to the notorious 1947 court case that landed her in prison for a year on a narcotics possession charge at the height of her career, Holiday reportedly said, It was called The United States of America versus Billie Holiday, and that s just the way it felt. ....

Referring to the notorious 1947 court case that landed her in prison for a year on a narcotics possession charge at the height of her career, Holiday reportedly said, “It was called ‘The United States of America versus Billie Holiday,’ and that’s just the way it felt.”
Based on a chapter from British journalist Johann Hari’s 2015 book “Chasing the Scream: The First and Last Days of the War on Drugs” and written by Pulitzer-winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks (“Topdog/Underdog”), the movie takes its cues from the actions of Federal Bureau of Narcotics Commissioner Harry J. Anslinger (Garrett Hedlund). His obsession with Holiday as a threat to national security is near ....

Joe Biden thinks 'forced rehab' is positive drug reform. Here's why he's wrong

President Biden thinks mandatory rehab is a fine alternative to prison for people who possess drugs. It s not. (AdobeStock)
Federal cannabis legalization has never felt closer, even though the newly elected President of the United States has repeatedly voiced opposition.
Joe Biden first made his mark as a committed Drug Warrior in the 1980s, but lately there have been encouraging signs that his administration will pursue a far more public-health-based approach to drug policy.
Forcing someone convicted of cannabis possession to choose between rehab and prison makes no sense.
Biden himself seemed to accept the inevitability of cannabis legalization while on the campaign trail when, speaking off the cuff, he went so far as to say, “I think it is at the point where it has to be, basically, legalized.” ....

Guest Editorial: It's time to reform Pennsylvania's outdated cannabis laws | Columnists

Former Federal Bureau of Narcotics Commissioner Harry J. Anslinger claimed, âReefer makes darkies think theyâre as good as white menâ â using an offensive slur in an already flagrantly racist remark.
During his tenure at the Federal Bureau of Narcotics from 1930-62, Anslinger employed racist and xenophobic ideas like this to justify an effort he spearheaded to criminalize cannabis throughout our nation.
Though a century separates our lives, Harry J. Anslinger and I share a common background. We were both born in Altoona, Pennsylvania. We both studied at Penn State. Yet, our views on this issue are starkly different.
In 1929, Anslinger took charge of the Bureau of Prohibition. When the United States ended its failed policy of alcohol prohibition only a few years later, Anslingerâs department faced the prospect of extinction. Enter his push to criminalize cannabis. ....
