In Washington, the President of the United States has engaged in tyranny. His presidential pardon of former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is both a slap in the face to the thousands of Latinos who were racially profiled in Arizona and an unbridled rejection of the role of...
What does $1.5 billion look like? On Saturday night, Falcons fans finally got to find out. Matt Ryan, the MVP and all-everything quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons threw an interception on his team’s very first play – but that didn’t matter very much – the star of the show Saturday...
I gave my all for you. I worried myself sick over you every time I knew you had a bad night or were feeling depressed. I dropped everything I could whenever I needed to to be there for you in whatever way you needed me...
Life can be scary. We learn that at an early age. You learn that the first time you think there is a monster in your closet. People get hurt all the time because we aren’t as invincible as we would like to think. People can hurt other...
There is something about this heart of mine, that holds onto feelings so deep. It grabs ahold of someone’s love with a death grip and doesn’t seem to want to let go. It dreams up a world with them and takes a dive from a...
Every day you tend to learn something new. It can be a small thing you heard while eavesdropping at the hairdressers or it can be something larger that affects the way you think about life. Either way, you come to the conclusion...
Where I’m from, there are a number of people who aspire to boot out of the country to go and make a living someplace else. I wasn’t always one of those people. Admittedly so, I was contented with how things were going for...
President Donald Trump promises to "Make America Great Again," but his words are nothing more than an advertising slogan. Rather, his actions since taking office are undoing decades of progress towards a better America and undermining the very core values enshrined its Constitution: liberty, equality, justice and democracy. In...
President Trump dumped news of a presidential pardon of racial profiling king—Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio—on a Friday night just as dangerous category four Hurricane Harvey was about to blast Texas. Hopefully for the country’s sake, this story won’t blow over, because by usurping the court’s authority, the president...
Today, Women’s Equality Day, is a time to reflect on all we have accomplished towards a more equal world, and also how far we still have to go. Here are some quotes I selected from my interviews with notable figures for insight, inspiration and encouragement. “It’s about equality, but it’s...
Sabaah Folayan and Damon Davis’ new documentary “Whose Streets?” may take the recent racial justice movement out of Ferguson, Mo., as its main focus, but its scope and significance are far broader. Take, for example, Foyalan’s comment to Robert Scheer in
The past few years have been kind and kind of cruel to Taylor Swift. Her mega-selling 1989 album cemented her spot as one of the most-beloved women in pop music, a distinction she now shares with Beyonce and Adele. But unlike her fellow leading pop...
A few weeks ago, on a breezy Saturday evening, my husband and I were spending time with our friend Israel in his apartment in San Francisco. We all work at Google and our conversations usually revolve around start-ups or cool projects, but this was not one of those...
Last year, many Catholic bishops and cardinals essentially made a Faustian bargain: They were willing to join hands with a Republican presidential candidate with no discernible moral compass in exchange for one priority: tightening restrictions on legal abortion and denying access to birth control to millions of poor women. It...

By Darryl Lorenzo Wellington In the days that immediately followed the violence that erupted in Charlottesville, I attended one of the many rallies held across the nation in support of efforts to dismantle racism, and its emblems. The crowd in Santa Fe, N.M....
I recently had the privilege of meeting five outstanding high school students the Children’s Defense Fund-Ohio’s Beat the Odds® program was honoring for overcoming tremendous adversity, demonstrating academic excellence and giving back to their communities. One of these inspiring young people was Sara Abou Rashed.

Summer is almost over but this dreary news is not. 1. Current and former CIA officials are keeping a close eye on CIA director Mike Pompeo because of his close relationship with Trump. More here. 2. Pence’s military detail have been reassigned after...
