Indigenous actress Elaine Miles of "Northern Exposure" was detained by ICE at a Redmond bus stop. When she showed them her Tribal ID, they told her it was fake. https://t.co/xMqSYZVkYp

It is common sense to ban government officials from posting AI generated images. It poses a threat to our already devastated media literacy and is damaging to our democracy.

This is the 4th year at The Arizona Republic I interview Phoenix-area grandma Wanda Dench about her and Jamal Hinton’s yearly tradition spending the holiday together. 2025 marks their 10th Thanksgiving since she unwittingly texted him a dinner invite.

This commission is a tribute to a dog who is no longer with us, but she is represented in a happy way, just as she was.

A baby has died of whooping cough in Kentucky, becoming the third child to die of pertussis in the past 12 months across the state.

The Kentucky Dept. for Public Health confirmed none of the infants had been vaccinated, nor had their mothers.

This whole #RFKJr #OliviaNuzzi saga really has me shook. What white men of wealth, power can get away with stuns me. What white women, with looks and tales of woe can get forgiven, then elevated is worse. America has different rules for different people. https://t.co/8QDzFis331

Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October.

She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE.

Grateful again for the incredible reporting by 60 Minutes as Scott Pelley reminds viewers of the stakes and powerful and visual reminders of the horrific 178,391 potential war crimes by Putin and his military invasion of the Ukraine nation.

Someone finally wrote about the absolute moral rot in journalism at the moment.

Please pay attention to what Karen Ho — and other WOC in journalism— are saying

A wild week for the secondary art market — and especially for Sotheby’s, which needed some good news.

This evening, a Frida Kahlo painting achieved the record for the highest price for a painting by a woman at auction, not just at Sotheby’s but in history.

$54.7 million (hammer plus buyer’s premium).

I don’t believe this is one of the Kahlos in Madonna’s collection, as the collector who consigned it bought it in 1980.

For a story I'm working on for next week, I'd love to chat with lgbtq+ Texans who can't go home for the holidays. Where do you go? What do you do? Where do you find community? DM me here, or on signal

I met Dick Cheney's younger daughter, Mary Cheney, in the D.C. metro area once many years ago. She was the most gracious person I came across while inside the Beltway.

"In 1991, a magazine planned to run a story outing me. I knew it was coming. So I went up to his office and offered to resign. He wouldn't hear of it."
