Just read that Helen Ubiñas (@NotesFromHeL ) is moving on from the @PhillyInquirer . I wrote a Substack essay as a tribute to her work. She’s chronicled the toll of gun violence here, demanding accountability from leaders. Link to my letter to her: caterinaroman.substack.com/p/an-ode-to-ph…


Woke up with a heavy heart and Azir on my mind. Gratefully overwhelmed with messages from people who want to help his family, including the mother of his child, who was also shot, and their 1-year-old son. I promise that as soon as I have that information I will pass it along.

This is the column I hoped I’d never have to write. New @PhillyInquirer column: inquirer.com/opinion/azir-h…

Mayor asks residents to give the city some “grace” while they get everything back up and running. 🚩 Anytime someone has asked me to show them some grace, I’ve been on the losing end of some hot mess.

Tonight, I spoke to 17-year-old Azir Harris, who was shot in Philly and likely paralyzed. News to you? That’s because he was shot a day after the Parkland school shooting, and because we don’t pay enough attention to everyday gun violence. youcaring.com/azirharris-115…

U.S. Marines have served honorably across multiple wars in defense of democracy. They are heroes. They shouldn't be deployed on American soil facing their own countrymen to fulfill the deranged fantasy of a dictatorial President. This is un-American.

BREAKING: ABC News says senior national correspondent Terry Moran has been suspended “pending further evaluation” over a post calling Stephen Miller a “world-class hater.” This comes less than two hours after the White House called on ABC to punish the journalist for expressing his views.
