I wrote for Pacific Standard on the sexual assault of a disabled black teen by white classmates, after months of racial harassment. Neither sex nor racial hate charges are being brought.

I also wrote for CNN about Meryl Streep and Trump. Stop talking the mocking incident, start talking healthcare, violence, poverty, and education.

Upset at Trump for disabled Americans? Great! Let's talk violence, poverty, and the ACA.https://t.co/hDwcpsSRoq #MerylStreep @CNNOpinion

Today, I'm off to watch Obama's farewell address and write about historical transitions and how much we have no idea what's going to happen next.
