Opinion: Leslie Herod subjected to racist, sexist tropes, perpetuated by journalists who should know better

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:34:20 GMT

As a former military officer, there is a roadmap for navigating success that requires bold, assertive leadership. This strategically appropriate roadmap for military leaders often brings challenges for women, especially Black women, because of historical stereotypes.As I moved from military service to business, and now as a CU regent, I have learned that women in business and politics suffer extreme pressure, unfair criticism, harassment, and bullying.So, when two articles questioning a Denver mayoral candidate and Colorado State Representative Leslie Herod’s “leadership style” came out in separate Denver media outlets last week, it neither surprised nor shocked me. But it did infuriate me.Progressive women of color face an institutionalized double standard normalized by journalists who write “bad boss” hit pieces like these. It creates a climate I have been all too familiar with throughout my life. It must end, but it will not if journalists ignore the racial disparity in their wri...

Could Jamie Foxx’s ‘meltdown’ derail Cameron Diaz’s movie return?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:34:20 GMT

Cameron Diaz has a number of fans who probably won’t be happy with the news that their first chance to see her in a movie in nearly a decade has been thrown “into chaos” because her co-star Jamie Foxx had a “meltdown” and fired a bunch of people involved in the production.Diaz and Foxx have been in London since December filming “Back in Action,” an action-comedy for Netflix, People reported. The movie marks Diaz’s first film since 2014, when she co-starred with Foxx in an adaptation of the Broadway musical “Annie.”But The Sun reported that the production hasn’t gone smoothly. Foxx fired an executive producer, two directors and even his own driver, making himself “pretty unpopular” in the process, The Sun said.“There have been some issues on set and Jamie has had a major meltdown over it all,” a source told The Sun.Sources close to Diaz have told a difference story, with one telling People: R...

ICC issues war crimes arrest warrant for Putin for alleged deportation of Ukrainian children

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:34:20 GMT

By Rob Picheta | CNNThe International Criminal Court (ICC) on Friday issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russian official Maria Lvova-Belova for an alleged scheme to deport Ukrainian children to Russia.The court said there “are reasonable grounds to believe that Mr Putin bears individual criminal responsibility” for the alleged crimes, for having committed them directly alongside others, and for “his failure to exercise control properly over civilian and military subordinates who committed the acts.”The charges, which relate to an alleged practice that CNN and others have reported on, are the first to be formally lodged against officials in Moscow since it began its unprovoked attack on Ukraine last year.It remains unlikely that a trial at The Hague will go ahead; Russia is not a member of the ICC and the court does not conduct trials in absentia, so any Russian officials charged would either have to be handed over by Moscow or a...
