To: Justice Alito, et al & GOP state legislators:
I don't recognize that any of you has the right to usurp bodily & reproductive atonomy of females in the US. Women are no longer chattel. Your draft op is wishful, anachronistic misogyny.
WOMEN & GIRLS — JUST SAY NO!

@washingtonpost@PostGuild@WBNG32035 And of course, I am deeply grateful to my readers, followers, friends, mentors, and industry peers who have supported me throughout my career.
And through what has been one of the most personally and professionally challenging periods of my life.
Thank you all.
@washingtonpost@PostGuild@WBNG32035 I was the last Black full-time staff columnist in the Washington Post’s Opinions section.
This fight is not just about me or diversity.
This is about journalists' rights to do their jobs and to comment on matters of public concern without censorship or political pressure.
According to my termination letter from @washingtonpost the company cited these two Bluesky posts, and claimed that I disparaged white men, accused me of ‘gross misconduct’.
And that my posts “potentially endanger[ed] the physical safety of our staff”.
Here's the letter:
In the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk killing, I did what I have always done— and was expected to do — as a public voice and columnist on race, gender, and culture: I commented on America’s racial double standards in public discourse when it comes to political violence.
Some News:
After 11 years at the Washington Post, I was fired in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk killing.
This week, I'm fighting back.
My case heads to arbitration on Thursday.

Happy Pride Month. If you're a gay man, please remember your power. People often think that gay men are innately fashionable, which means if you wear some stupid shit for long enough, straight people, including homophobes, will copy you and then you can laugh at them.

@consequence This was hilarious. I'd happily watch Stephen Colbert do more public access TV. Not only was it funny, but it heakened back to a time when corporations hadn't sucked up everything good. Bravo and thank you Stephen! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Less than 24 hours after The Late Show ended, Colbert resurfaced on Michigan public access program, where he reported the local news and was joined by surprise guests including Jack White, Steve Buscemi, Jeff Daniels, and Eminem.
"It's been an excruciating 23 hours without being on TV. So I am grateful to be able to be here on Monroe Community Media before they also get acquired by Paramount."
This is Officer Caroline Edwards.
She was attacked by the insurrectionists on January 6th.
They cracked her heac open, resulting in a permanent brain injury.
For all those who support Trump's pardons and say you "back the blue".
You don't.
You support fascism.
WCK's Relief Team is on our way to Garden Grove, California to see how we can best assist communities impacted by the hazardous materials emergency at GKN Aerospace—where a damaged tank holding 7,000 gallons of a toxic, flammable chemical has forced nearly 40,000 residents to evacuate. This is a quickly evolving situation—we'll share more information as soon as we have it. Read More: https://t.co/qLFjY32rhs #ChefsForCalifornia
