Wednesday’s Child: Meet Devante!

March 9, 2016

Every Wednesday I feature a child recently highlighted by a local Wednesday's Child newscast to share the stories of children from around the country who are waiting for a family. My hope is that this can broaden exposure for the children highlighted, but also serve as a reminder that these children represent thousands of children currently in the foster-care system.

Donald Trump and the murky pool of white supremacy

March 8, 2016

It seems like the nation is having a collective freak-out about the rise of Donald Trump. Even my Republican friends are panicked about it. And it’s not just the fact that Trump is an idiot. There are plenty of those around. It’s the fact that so many of them are rallying behind this guy, with so little discernment for the xenophobia, racism, and misogyny he is spewing.

On the KKK and “looking for the helpers”

March 7, 2016

Last week, Orange County made headlines when an intended KKK rally in Anaheim turned violent.
