For @msmagazine.com, I wrote about the WNBA and the issue of pay equity. By the time the WNBA was only two seasons in (1999-2000) the average NBA salary was 58 times higher than the average WNBA salary. Twenty-six years later, the gap has jumped to 116 times higher.

Likewise, if wage theft was treated as criminally as time theft, a lot of businesses would run a lot differently. Businesses are people when it comes to counting victims but never when it comes to counting offenses.
The conversation about illegal immigration would be very different in America if the focus of federal law enforcement was on arresting and prosecuting corporate employers who hire undocumented workers.

This is such a nice thing to say! Thank you to everyone who’s bought my book or borrowed it from their local library! Available now everywhere, indie bookstore and otherwise. I also read the audio book, so that’s fun.

Pedro Pascal spoke up for trans rights and has been targeted with a smear campaign as a result. False allegations lobbed by TERFs have since become a meme and entered the YouTube podcast sphere—not unlike the previous anti-MeToo smear campaigns I’ve covered.

What we're seeing in LA is just the start. This is going to be a long hot summer. Prepare accordingly.
I fully expect civil unrest to start kicking into high gear by late May early June as the scale of these actions start to hit everyone. This summer is make or break for this country. If you have the means to leave, I advise you make those plans now. This won't end well.
