My new piece for the Seattle Times:
“Democratic backsliding is not a cliff. It is a staircase. Each step feels survivable until the floor disappears.”

OPINION | I froze my eggs to buy time for life, love and work, but the decision to wait could be deadly in Donald Trump’s America.

The first causality of this horrific situation. I expect the plan to teach these boys— some of whom can’t swim— to spelunk is derailed by the death of this Navy SEAL diver xitter.cf/cnnbrk/status/10150651…
A former Thai Navy diver died during the effort to rescue 12 boys and their soccer coach from a cave in northern Thailand cnn.it/2lWnFTx
It is a rare and moving moment when the control room inside the #CNN newsroom falls silent. This was the exact moment one week ago that 5 journalists at the #CapitalGazette violently lost their lives. We honor them.

The world has lost one of its finest storytellers today. CNN‘s Anthony Bordain has taken his life at the age of 61. Tony was the best kind of wry. A rule-breaker, a visionary and a true wild heart.

One month ago the students of #SantaFeHighSchool staged a walkout, to protest gun violence. Spurred by the school shooting in Parkland Florida that left 17 dead. They held signs that read "never again".
Yet today, on these same school grounds it *did* happen again.
The most common cause of female infertility – polycystic ovary syndrome – may be caused by a hormonal imbalance before birth. The finding has led to a cure in mice, and a drug trial is set to begin in women later this year. #PCOS

After being found guilty, #BillCosby stood up and yelled "you asshole" as the prosecutor addressed the judge. The 80 yo now faces up to 10 years in prison for drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand. She is just one of more than 50 accusers #CNN
They say if you can’t do, teach. Which ain’t so bad if you love it. Honored to be leading editorial classes for #CNN, a full circle moment from when I was teaching journalism and media research methodologies at the @UniCanberra all those years ago #handtalker
I am reminded of how the world was mobilized by the photo of the little Vietnamese girl running from her napalm-ravaged village, clothes burned from her body, face twisted in horror. This changed us 46 years ago. Can we change now? #Syria xitter.cf/joshrogin/status/97878…
Assad is using napalm on civilians. Napalm. aljazeera.com/news/2018/03/b…

Reporting on a deadly standoff that is still underway. Police say they have no idea who the armed man is, but he has shot two officers and barricaded himself inside an apartment cnn.com/2018/03/10/us/pomona…
Feeling frustrated and hemmed in by your job today? Stop. Look at this teacher in Ghana who writes on a blackboard to teach his students to use Microsoft Word.
My daily reminder that the "fake news" accusations leveled against CNN are a smokescreen. Back to work! #factsfirst thedailybeast.com/parkland-f…
