After taking office, President Biden extended Trump’s eviction moratorium multiple times before allowing it to expire on July 31. It took formerly unhoused Rep. Cori Bush sleeping on the steps of the Capitol for three nights to create enough political pressure to force the administration to issue a new order, one that is set to expire on October 3.

Then on a warm Los Angeles morning in April, it happened. I took my daughter on a stroll to a local Starbucks. While we waited in line, a very pleasant white woman in her fifties (I mean, this is LA, so who the hell knows how old she really was) approached me and showered my little one with compliments regarding her unmistakable cuteness. Everything was completely on the level, but as soon as she received her drink, she hit me with this: “No offense, but it’s not often that I see Black men out with their kids, but it’s such a wonderful thing....

He personifies revenge fantasies in movies like this, and it works, because he’s very calm and collected about destroying the people who have wronged him....

He was fine — unhappy, but fine. Most parents have at least one story like this, and nearly all of us are guilty of checking to make sure our sleeping babies are breathing. We could be excused for the paranoia. From the moment our kids are born, healthcare professionals hit us over the head with safe sleeping practices: baby on their back, no toys in the crib, tight-fitting sheets. Doctors don’t always say that if we fail to comply, our babies will suffocate in their sleep....
