Though logistical and legal challenges may slow him down, Trump has broad power to pursue "mass deportation" — and he’s made clear he intends to use it.

I wrote about the expensive and endless Wicked (and Barbie) marketing and how it's often prioritized a white, upper-class consumer — and how this rising Hollywood standard impacts small and independent films that often center talent of color. www.huffpost.com/entry/wicked...
‘Wicked’ Marketing Has Been Giving People The Ick

My latest in the '90s series revisits Milli Vanilli, the lip-syncing pop duo that was canceled. I wrote about the racialized way they were exploited, how they fit into a historically manufactured music genre and the irrational relationship between fan and celebrity

Milli Vanilli Was Canceled In The '90s — But There Is More To The Story
