When I was younger I studied five languages and dreamed of being a simultaneous interpreter.

My first translating gig? The Very Hungry Caterpillar. In Russian. For a four-week-old who cannot understand any language.

The UN’s loss, honestly.

This is actually a really striking amount of guns considering Richmond is a fraction of the size of New York

Threat at Mar-a-Lago, cartel attacks in Mexico, and Nancy Guthrie still nowhere to be found.

But at least our FBI director is living, laughing, loving on our dime in Milano.

In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes... and our health care system sucking.

An incredible, and incredibly timely, read as I sit at the hospital with my newborn and as measles flares in SC, UT, AZ and beyond.

So many ICE out pins at last night’s Grammys.

Thank an organizer!!! These moments can look spontaneous, but movements don’t go mainstream without a lot of behind-the-scenes work. This is how change happens.

I went to college at 17 as the daughter of an undocumented immigrant working as a nanny. Even with a half ride, I graduated with hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt.

American business leaders need to speak up about Alex Pretti's killing It's understandable that CEOs and other leaders are wary of wading into the latest shooting in Minneapolis. But that's not an excuse for silence.

“…there could be real risk for you. But the bigger risk is silence.

That's because your silence tells everyone who is appalled by Pretti's death that they shouldn't speak up, either. That gives the federal government the tacit permission to carry on.”

Untrained vigilantes in skinny jeans are killing Americans on our streets for practicing their First (and Second!) Amendment rights.

If you're not horrified, you're not paying attention.

Tell your senators to rein in ICE NOW On Wednesday, January 7, Renee Good was killed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Then, on January 24, Border Patrol killed Alex Pretti. These deaths were a direct...

Use your time wisely. Call and email your senators. Only they can stop the funding for DHS and ICE.

Ha, I know, but good to remind people of this and get new people to run! Plus, our GA legislators could/should be doing more.
