I had the opportunity to photograph Gloria Steinem twice. In 1972 and when she spoke @womenjournos.bsky.social in 2012. I still have all the Ms. Magazines going back to 1972. She was a force that changed the lives of so many of us. Thank you Gloria for all you did. @msmagazine.com

@jenpsaki.bsky.social you asked El Sayed what was the difference between his views and DSA, he pivoted and didn’t answer. Right now that was the one answer I wanted to hear. He may have been right to pivot to the R opponent, but a good journalist would have brought him back to the question! Learn!

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.
