Transgender people can still get gender-affirming services in D.C., which may include medication, surgery, and mental health. But under Trump, some centers cut back on their care or are facing pressure to. My story for WAMU: wamu.org/story/25/02/19…

Re: BLM Plaza, thinking about (and so grateful for!) this, from my brilliant former DCist/WAMU colleagues. There was so much tension over that space- and Bowser’s decision to paint it- at that time. dcist.com/story/20/06/12…

I wrote about what Black Lives Matter Plaza meant to D.C., with voices and sounds from its destruction. For some locals, it felt like a performative gesture not backed by policy. But it also became a place and symbol of protest. wamu.org/story/25/03/19…

Tomorrow, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in Mahmoud v. Taylor. A group of parents in Montgomery County, Md. are suing the public school system to allow their children to opt-out of LGBTQ+ stories in the curriculum. I have been covering this case for nearly two years.
