This isn’t governance—it’s cruelty dressed up as Christmas. Mocking immigrants while people lose healthcare, families suffer, and America embarrasses itself globally. Power without empathy is moral bankruptcy, and this administration proudly puts it on display.

White House Refuses to Rule Out Summary Executions of People on Its Secret Domestic Terrorist List
The Trump administration ignored questions about whether it would order the killings of those on its NSPM-7 list — even while answering our other queries.

I am a GenX music writer who watched women geniuses be rescued to a bikini because the patriarchy in the magazine box insisted on it. Maybe this is her choice. But I’m sad.

Almost all of us were from poor people. From disenfranchised people new in a place. Crapping on those who are where you were. You suck.

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

Houses are expensive because billionaires gobble up homes and fix the rent or turn them into Airbnbs. The billionaires want you to think immigrants are buying up all the property.

It is newsworthy that the president of the United States is increasingly verbally abusive of women reporters and he should be asked about it.

NEW: Dr. Oz is quite literally telling his federal employees to eat less.
“You don't have to try every cookie on the holiday table,” wrote Mehmet Oz in an email to all Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services employees.

WELKER: You're talking about Trump protecting Arkansas from drugs, yet he pardoned the former president of Honduras who trafficked more than 500 tons of cocaine into the US. How does that make us safer?

Highly recommend. This man’s life has nothing to do with mine but I saw myself in it a little as a parent and friend who has to weigh how I center myself in others’ life and how I can better be present because there is no do-over.
In Jay Kelly, Clooney plays an emotionally stunted movie star struggling with work and family life. He can relate: "We're all balancing it. We're never getting it perfect." n.pr/3KxixUK
George Clooney's kids don't care about his success (and that's a good thing)

For @thebaltimorebanner.com I want to talk to Maryland-area folks with front-facing jobs like retail, restaurant, packaging stores, traffic enforcement and others who can be on the wrong end of public frustration. In the holiday season, what do you need from the public in terms of patience?

We keep telling you to keep our names out of your mouths and you don’t listen.
Actor BD Wong, of Jurassic Park & SVU fame, apparently made a racist “joke” on Threads last night. Now he’s crashing into the mentions of everyone calling him out with this weird nonapology copypasta reply. It’s all very gross & disappointing I HATE IT HERE.

I turned in my first complete draft of my novel to my agent for approval and then it goes to the publisher on Thursday. Between now and the October 26 release, a lot of editing and back and forth. But it has a beginning, middle and ending. Yay.

Last year I wrote about "Wicked Part 1" and allyship. I have more thoughts for @thebaltimorebanner.com about #wickedforgood and that subject. Anyone wanna talk for a column? (Maryland preferable!) www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...
‘Wicked’ reminds us that allyship is getting on the dang broom
At the end of the first half of “Wicked,” Elphaba asks her friend Galinda to join her on the broom and fly away to launch a movement. But Galinda can’t. That sounds a lot like real life.
