Time is running out for the @wnba.com to pay the players what they owe them. Their contract expires TONIGHT. Without the players, there is no WNBA — and fair pay is LONG overdue. America’s unions stand in solidarity with the WNBPA players in this fight ✊

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers. Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

Got word that “Complications,” my latest series pilot (an urban dramedy on love, loss, family and a past not quite past enough), reached the Quarter-Finalist milestone in the 2026 Emerging Screenwriters Screenplay Competition. Semi-Finalists will be announced on Jan. 29. All appendages crossed.

As the intensity of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown has risen, residents of Chicago are increasingly pushing back. Federal agents repeatedly have been observed releasing smoke bombs, tear gas and pepper balls to disperse residents who gather or capture videos.

Residents have begun forming volunteer groups to monitor their neighborhoods for federal immigration agents. Others honk their horns or blow whistles when they see agents nearby.

When I visited The Kennedy/Marshall Company in 2017 this was the first thing I saw as soon as I stepped off of the elevator. It's the original illustration by Drew Struzan.
The original illustration for the "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" poster by Drew Struzan. This is before the billing block, tagline and the title treatment were added. There's no one in the photo to provide the proper scale, but it must have been about 5 feet in height, if not more.

It depicts Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones and Sean Connery as his father. Allison Doody, John Rhys-Davies, Denholm Elliot and Michael Byrne are on it as well.

Kudos to the residents of PDX for understanding the assignment and delivering the goods. Their absurd protests robs the president of any and all of the optics that he craves in these occupations. His masked paramilitary meatheads look ridiculous standing next to a happy dancing inflatable frog.

​The former diplomat accused Israel of violating all the rules of conflict and of using the starvation of Gaza’s civilian population as a “weapon of war”.

“Three times more explosive power has been dropped on Gaza than was used in the Hiroshima bomb,” he said. “And for months now, nothing has been getting into Gaza. Nothing: no water, no food, no electricity, no fuel, no medical services. That’s what [Benjamin] Netanyau’s ministers have said and it’s what they’ve done.”

He added: “We all know what’s going on there, and we’ve all heard the objectives stated by Netanyau’s ministers​, which are clear declarations of genocidal intent. Seldom have I heard the leader of a state so clearly outline a plan that fits the legal definition of genocide.”

Republicans are saying that these cuts will be reinvested into Medicaid for people who "deserve" it. If that were true, the budget would stay the same. But that's not what's happening. Why? Because down the hall, they are trying to finance tax breaks for billionaires.
