Local Girl Stars in TUTS' Seussical
Tap into a child’s imagination and there is no wonder what they might conjure. An oversized one-eyed yellow monster with feet for hands, people with orange Mohawks, blue faces, and green fangs instead of teeth or maybe a dog that meows instead of barks while his tail gets longer. That’s the beauty of a child.
Trump Has Met His Match: The Squad
President Donald Trump may have finally met his match: The Squad. The famously foul-mouthed President on Sunday launched yet another Twitter tirade, saying that the four congresswomen, known as The Squad -- US Reps.

Dark Skin Isn’t Protection From Deadly Skin Cancer
Contrary to what many believe, dark skin doesn’t offer protection against deadly melanomas, an expert warns. This type of skin cancer can be affected by genetics and is far more likely to develop on sun-protected areas of the body in blacks, Hispanics and even Asians, according to researcher Dr. Arthur Rhodes. He’s director of the Melanoma Surveillance Clinic at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago.
Trump's Racist Behavior Is Infamous and Longstanding
There he goes again. On Sunday, just before he headed off to his golf club in Sterling, Virginia, Donald Trump once more played the race card. It wasn't enough that he was terrorizing millions of undocumented fathers, mothers and children with the threat of sweeping raids, mass roundups and deportations.
Apollo 11 taught us to dream big, so let's aim for more than Mars
Fifty years ago this month, humans took their first steps on the moon. For those of you too young to remember, it is hard to fully appreciate just how much that achievement engaged the entire planet. It certainly influenced me a great deal, even as a 5-year-old, setting me on a path that led me to become a professional scientist.
Murrow's words from 1954 apply to the Trump age: 'We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty'
Reading President Trump's racist tweets and hearing him claim that some Democrats "hate" America and watching him say they can leave if they don't like it here, Edward R. Murrow comes to mind.
For an immigrant, seeing a 'police car is something that makes me go cold'
The fear of being profiled and arrested -- whether by ICE or the police with whom they often collaborate -- can cause whole communities to avoid their streets and any other public spaces in which they could be detained or questioned. As one community member whose apartment was raided told us as we researched this topic, "Seeing a police car is something that makes me go cold, my body, my skin ..."
Mariel Hemingway and Amy Smart Discuss "The Earthing Movie"
We live in a time when mobile technology and Wi-Fi, Nikes and Christian Louboutins, video games, and a fast-paced urban lifestyle are often prized above the simpler things in life. But what if making a beeline back to our earthy origins could be the answer to more happiness and balance; and better health and vitality?
Trump vs. 'the Squad' makes watershed moment in racial politics
President Donald Trump emerged into the sweltering heat of a mid-July afternoon Monday not to apologize for his own racist instincts, but to justify them and enshrine them in his reelection campaign.
Booker on Trump's racist tweets: 'He is ripping at the fabric of our country for his own political gain'

Joe Biden just made a giant gamble on health care
Joe Biden is making a very big bet on the status quo. That's true for his 2020 presidential campaign generally (his argument is that Donald Trump's election is a fever dream from which the GOP -- and the country -- will awake) but especially true on the issue that has proven decisive in a majority of elections in recent memory: Health care.
A $15 minimum wage started as a slogan. This week, it's set to pass the House
Nearly seven years ago, a week after Black Friday, a few dozen workers walked off their New York City fast food jobs to demonstrate for higher pay. The median wage for fast food workers was $9 an hour, CNN reported at the time. The demand that would soon emerge as the movement's rallying cry — $15 and a union — seemed hopelessly ambitious, like a wild-eyed opening bid.

‘I Do Not Believe You Are a Racist’
At the Miami Democratic Presidential Debate, Kamala Harris questioned Joe Biden about his opposition to integrating the schools through court-ordered busing. Biden responded: “I did not oppose busing in America. What I opposed is busing ordered by the Department of Education.” After the debate, Biden spoke at the Rainbow Push Convention in Chicago. He said, “I want to be absolutely clear about my record and position on racial justice, including busing. I never, never, ever opposed voluntary busing.”
'Equal Pay, Equal Pay, Equal Pay'
As the exhausted and thrilled U.S. women's soccer team celebrated its victory in the finals of the 2019 Women's World Cup, the cheers of the crowd in the Stade of Lyon soon turned into a chant: "Equal Pay, Equal Pay, Equal Pay." Even as they fought their way to the fourth U.S. Women World Cup championship, the U.S. team were waging a battle -- in the court of public opinion and the courts of law -- for equal treatment in wages, working conditions and investment in the women's game. And if there is any justice or common sense in their employer, U.S. Soccer, they will be as victorious in the quest for equal pay as they were in their quest for the World Cup.
Race in 2020: What Impact Will Identity Politics Have On the Upcoming Elections?
I’m black and I’m proud! Some of you may recognize my intro from James Brown’s popular 1968 hit, “Say It Loud!” The song was an anthem with a call and response chorus that was not only infectious but also empowering. It starts with James Brown saying “Uh! Your bad self!”
