Wife. Mother. Grandmother. Happily retired.
It feels like the good guys are ahead on points, although it is hard to keep up. Also, the D candidate won the special election in Texas. 👍🏻

This should backfire bigly. Also, Todd Blanche is unfit to speak before humans. He oozes sarcasm, contempt and hostility.

Brilliant book; not a “light”
read by any stretch, but so powerful.

A great and heartbreaking piece. The quote from Ms. Rodarmel about not taking things away that were already given is spot on. To me, if Ms. Ayobi was approved for parole, a retroactive change in the law would constitute an ex post facto law, which is Constitutionally prohibited.

Delightfully well-curated craziness!

Great event last night at Politics and Prose. We need writers (possibly more than ever now) so promote away!

I recognize this was only a small part of the piece, but I’m glad you referenced the OVW website being shut down. Since funding was “paused” (!!!) almost two months ago, DV agencies (those with Family Justice Centers, specifically) have been left without information or guidance of any nature. Cruel.
