“What Truth Sounds Like” by Michael Eric Dyson
“We have to talk.” It’s never good when someone tells you that. Even if it’s said with a smile and a pat on the back, you can feel doom in those words. “We have to talk” never helps anyone except when, as in “What Truth Sounds Like” by Michael Eric Dyson, it does.

Denzel Washington picks off familiar targets in 'Equalizer 2'
A sequel to a movie based on a TV show is basically the ultimate commentary on Hollywood's infatuation with presold titles, but at least "The Equalizer 2" doesn't harbor many pretentions about its marching orders.

The number of married women earning more money than their husbands has grown. But you won't hear them boasting about it.

In college, there was a young man who would drive over an hour every Friday just to make it to his parents’ house for dinner. You could almost set your watch by it because he had the same routine. Get out of class, pack up his vehicle, and hit the road no later than 4 pm. So, one day I asked him why he leaves campus every Friday to go home? He looked at me and said, “Our family tradition is to have dinner as a family every Friday night no matter what. We have been doing it for years.”

Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee Returns to McAllen in South Texas to Demand that the Trump Administration Effectively Expedite the Family Reunification Process
Jackson Lee— “Indeed, it appears as if the President’s lack of response to the letter I led is indicative of the administration’s overall tact towards legitimate inquiries for oversight, like that which is prescribed by Article I of the Constitution. Despite the fact that a federal judge ordered the reunification of children under age 5 by a date certain, last week the Department of Homeland Security indicated that about 50% of these children were reunited by the date prescribed by the court, and that at least 2,551 of children remain still separated from their parents.”
