Democracy cannot be saved at the expense of those who have too often and for too long been shut out of America’s lofty ideals.

True to its name, virtual school is almost school. And in a city as long-troubled as Baltimore, almost school isn’t enough. It is, instead, another deprivation.

I met Dante Barksdale in an Uber in September 2016. He was the driver, I was the passenger, and by the end of the ride we had decided to write his life story together. I was drawn to his warmth, his natural storytelling ability and his surname — familiar to any viewer of “The Wire.”

As I reviewed the media coverage urging Dr. Jill Biden to stop using her “Dr.” title, I was once again awash with the frustration I have experienced over many years as a nurse with a doctoral degree.

After four years of toxic rhetoric and attacks from the highest office within our government, Biden's commitments are a refreshing change in tone.

Of all the figures around Donald Trump, including Trump himself, Rudolph Giuliani’s descent into villainy is the most tragic.

In Mr. Trump’s warped mind, he probably thinks he is sticking it to the Bidens by not attending the inauguration. I say it’s the best thing he could have done for the country.

There are no evening or weekend hours available for COVID vaccination, and the single clinic site is not centrally located or easily accessible for anyone without a car.
