Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday.
This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

Rothkoph says it is possible for America to lead again & regain its stature IF we face up to our myths & failings. Let's be clear-eyed about our country to begin the long process of rebuilding a better government, economy & society. There is greatness in our future if we fight for it.
We're no longer the leader of the free world. We're no longer a beacon of democracy and justice. We're no longer the land of opportunity. We're no longer a nation in which no one is above the law. Our myths about ourselves are killing us. What to do?

More than a century after the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, one of the most horrific episodes of racial violence in U.S. history, the city’s mayor announced a $105 million reparations package on Sunday. It is the first large-scale plan committing funds to address the impact of the atrocity.

The rate at which women are subjected to threats or use of force by police has skyrocketed in the last 20 years.
In 1999 only 13% of people experiencing the use of force were women. By 2022, that share had doubled to 28%.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.
More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.
I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.
