If Dolly Parton can be canceled, we’re in serious trouble. I wrote a thing about right-wing attempts to cancel the uncancellable @DollyParton that has been trending. Catch me live on @CNN later this eve to chat about it. cnn.com/2024/06/19/opinions/…

Opinion: Quit pickin’ on Dolly Parton! | CNN

This tragic story smells of massive coverup. There is a school, hospital, police department and community that have some serious explaining to do. We must hold them accountable and secure justice for the death of 16-year-old Nex. popular.info/p/nex-benedicts…

Nex Benedict's mom raises doubts about police statements: It's a "big cover"

The mother of Nex Benedict — the non-binary Oklahoma teen who was assaulted in a school bathroom and died the following day — is raising doubts about statements released by the local police.

The incredible @ceciliagentili72 was honored at St. Patrick's Cathedral in a funeral fit for a queer queen. Then the Catholic Church issued a scathing statement, calling the funeral "deceptive," "scandalous" and a "sacrilege." My clapback in @cnn. cnn.com/2024/02/19/opinions/…

Opinion: There’s no compassion, humanity or Christianity in this statement from the Archdiocese of...

A statement from the Catholic Archdiocese of New York condemning the funeral of late trans activist and icon Cecilia Gentili at St. Patrick’s Cathedral is an affront, especially lacking in compassion...

I know how lucky I am to have published work in the world's top news outlets, but I've also been rejected consistently for work I've submitted to literary journals. That makes it all the more gratifying to see my first literary journal publication: grandedameliterary.com/post/…
