As \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Central Valley Bureau Chief based in Fresno for nearly a dozen years, Sasha brought the lives and concerns of rural Californians to listeners around the state. Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R.

This West Coast premiere from \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/03/06/branden-jacobs-jenkins-from-the-heart\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Branden Jacobs-Jenkins\u003c/a> opens with actor Lance Gardner speaking: “\u003c/span>Hi everyone. I’m a black playwright. I don’t know exactly what that means. But I’m here to tell you a story.” And then Gardner puts on whiteface, as another actor dons redface to play an American Indian. There’s blackface too, so, as Jamedra says, if you’re not offended in some way, you’re not paying attention. Much of the play is Jacobs-Jenkins deconstruction of a 19th Century melodrama by \u003ca href=\"http://www.theatrehistory.com/irish/boucicault001.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dion Boucicault\u003c/a> about the fate of a Southern plantation. But there’s also running commentary on what it’s like to be an African American on the American stage. Br’er Rabbit gets a part too, and just when you think it’s okay to laugh at the racist attitudes of characters from 160 years ago, Jacobs-Jenkins slaps you with an image or line forcing you to recognize how things haven’t changed very much at all.

I’m a black playwright. I don’t know exactly what that means. But I’m here to tell you a story.” And then Gardner puts on whiteface, as another actor dons redface to play an American Indian. There’s blackface too, so, as Jamedra says, if you’re not offended in some way, you’re not paying attention. Much of the play is Jacobs-Jenkins deconstruction of a 19th Century melodrama by \u003ca href=\"http://www.theatrehistory.com/irish/boucicault001.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dion Boucicault\u003c/a> about the fate of a Southern plantation. But there’s also running commentary on what it’s like to be an African American on the American stage. Br’er Rabbit gets a part too, and just when you think it’s okay to laugh at the racist attitudes of characters from 160 years ago, Jacobs-Jenkins slaps you with an image or line forcing you to recognize how things haven’t changed very much at all.

R. Martin. But she did worry that it would be harder to witness certain scenes on the screen than on the page. In one episode, for example, an evil king humiliates Tyrion by staging a vulgar play with a cast made up exclusively of little people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I read that in the book, I had never seen my own experience in life reflected so accurately, so vividly, so viscerally,” Cokley remembers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right after the episode including that scene aired, some of Cokely’s friends who don’t have disabilities called her — to make sure she was OK.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13631469\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 700px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Game-of-thrones.jpg\" alt=\"In a 2012 interview with NPR, Peter Dinklage (second actor from left) said he appreciated how well-rounded his Game of Thrones character is.

The show “does address the size issue, but it doesn’t knock you over the head with it,” he said. \u003ccite>(Macall B. Polay/HBO)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“They were like: ‘\u003cem>Wow, is that really what it’s like?\u003c/em>‘And I was like, ‘\u003cem>Yeah\u003c/em>,’ ” she recalls. “There are days when that’s what it’s like. People see me and get down on their knees and mock how I walk. Or they follow me around the store and take pictures of me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.thismess.net/p/about-me.html\">David Perry\u003c/a> is another writer and activist for disability rights, and a \u003cem>Game of Thrones\u003c/em> fan; he also happens to hold a doctorate in medieval history. Perry calls the series “medieval-ish.” In a show set before modern medicine, he says, it makes sense to see people with disabilities. “Every human society is, of course, packed with disabled people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While plenty of \u003cem>Game of Thrones\u003c/em> characters have disabilities, Perry says the show still falls into some traps. Take the young princess scarred by a fictional severe skin disease — “\u003ca href=\"http://www.telegraph.co.uk/tv/2016/05/06/greyscale-the-history-and-diseases-that-inspired-game-of-thrones/\">greyscale\u003c/a>.” Perry says the character’s disability primarily serves to pump up the pathos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It isn’t really about her,” he points out. “Right? It’s all — \u003cem>this poor, physically disfigured girl who’s so good and pure and smart. Oh no, she’s going to be killed; now we have to be \u003c/em>really\u003cem> upset.\u003c/em> That is the kind of writing I kind of hate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perry also takes issue with how quickly a fictional swordsman — Jaime Lannister — who loses one hand learns to fight with the other. Then there’s Bran Stark. Early in the series the character becomes paralyzed, and spends much of the first season being carried by Hodor, the character with intellectual disabilities. Both have mystical powers — an old cliché in disability representation (think of \u003cem>The Green Mile\u003c/em> or \u003cem>The Boy Who Could Fly\u003c/em>.)

We’ve met an important character with a severe skin disorder and another with an intellectual disability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0227759/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Peter Dinklage\u003c/a>, the actor who comes first in the credits, is a little person.

The show “does address the size issue, but it doesn’t knock you over the head with it,” he said. \u003ccite>(Macall B. Polay/HBO)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“They were like: ‘\u003cem>Wow, is that really what it’s like?\u003c/em>‘And I was like, ‘\u003cem>Yeah\u003c/em>,’ ” she recalls. “There are days when that’s what it’s like. People see me and get down on their knees and mock how I walk. Or they follow me around the store and take pictures of me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.thismess.net/p/about-me.html\">David Perry\u003c/a> is another writer and activist for disability rights, and a \u003cem>Game of Thrones\u003c/em> fan; he also happens to hold a doctorate in medieval history. Perry calls the series “medieval-ish.” In a show set before modern medicine, he says, it makes sense to see people with disabilities. “Every human society is, of course, packed with disabled people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While plenty of \u003cem>Game of Thrones\u003c/em> characters have disabilities, Perry says the show still falls into some traps. Take the young princess scarred by a fictional severe skin disease — “\u003ca href=\"http://www.telegraph.co.uk/tv/2016/05/06/greyscale-the-history-and-diseases-that-inspired-game-of-thrones/\">greyscale\u003c/a>.” Perry says the character’s disability primarily serves to pump up the pathos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It isn’t really about her,” he points out. “Right? It’s all — \u003cem>this poor, physically disfigured girl who’s so good and pure and smart. Oh no, she’s going to be killed; now we have to be \u003c/em>really\u003cem> upset.\u003c/em> That is the kind of writing I kind of hate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perry also takes issue with how quickly a fictional swordsman — Jaime Lannister — who loses one hand learns to fight with the other. Then there’s Bran Stark. Early in the series the character becomes paralyzed, and spends much of the first season being carried by Hodor, the character with intellectual disabilities. Both have mystical powers — an old cliché in disability representation (think of \u003cem>The Green Mile\u003c/em> or \u003cem>The Boy Who Could Fly\u003c/em>.) Some activists are concerned that this season, Bran will be magically cured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Will Bran learn to fly? Will he learn to shape-shift?” Perry asks. “Is he going to be able to change his body so he’s not paralyzed anymore?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Granted, \u003cem>Game of Thrones\u003c/em> is a fantasy, Perry says. But that sort of transformation isn’t what most wheelchair users are looking for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You don’t want to learn to fly,” he says dryly. “You want a ramp built into your castle.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Perry admires how the series explores such a wide range of characters with different sorts of bodies and minds.

The judge then declared a mistrial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors said they would retry Cosby, who remains charged with three counts of aggravated indecent assault. He is free on $1 million bail.\u003cbr>\nCosby’s team declared victory and went on the attack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Mr. Cosby’s power is back. It has been restored,” said Andrew Wyatt, his spokesman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cosby’s wife of 53 years, Camille, slammed prosecutors for bringing the case to court, calling District Attorney Kevin Steele “heinously and exploitatively ambitious” in a statement released after court adjourned. She also attacked the judge, the accuser’s lawyers and the media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“How do I describe the judge? Overtly arrogant, collaborating with the district attorney,” said her statement, which was read by Wyatt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cosby himself didn’t comment. He remained stoic as the judge declared a mistrial, while Constand doled out hugs to her mother, prosecutors and some of the other women who say the TV star drugged and abused them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>District Attorney Kevin Steele planned a late-morning news conference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The comedian’s career and good-guy image were already in tatters by the time his chief accuser took the stand and described how Cosby gave her pills and then penetrated her with his fingers as she lay paralyzed on a couch, unable to tell him to stop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the jurors clearly struggled with their verdict, telling the judge on Day 4 they were at impasse. Judge Steven O’Neill instructed them to keep working toward a unanimous decision. On Saturday, they came back and told O’Neill they were hopelessly deadlocked. It wasn’t immediately known how many jurors wanted to convict and how many wanted to acquit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judge sought to comfort the jurors, at least one of whom fought back tears, calling their epic deliberation “one of the more courageous acts, one of the more selfless acts that I’ve seen in the justice system. … I feel bad for all of you, I really do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He reminded prosecutors and the defense that “a mistrial is neither vindication nor victory for anybody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was the only criminal case to arise from allegations from more than 60 women that cast Cosby as a serial predator who gave drugs to women before violating them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He did not take the stand in his own defense, leaving it to his attorney to argue Cosby and Constand were lovers sharing a consensual sexual encounter. Lawyer Brian McMonagle told jurors that while Cosby had been unfaithful to his wife, he didn’t commit a crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re talking about all the man’s tomorrows,” said McMonagle, urging acquittal of an icon in the twilight of life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cosby broke barriers as the first black actor to star in a network show, \u003cem>I Spy\u003c/em>, in the 1960s and created the top-ranked \u003cem>Cosby Show\u003c/em> two decades later, starring as kindly Dr. Cliff Huxtable. He found success with his \u003cem>Fat Albert\u003c/em> animated TV show and starred in commercials for Jello-O pudding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it was his reputation as a public moralist who urged young people to pull up their saggy pants and start acting responsibly that prompted a federal judge to unseal portions of an explosive deposition he gave more than a decade ago as part of Constand’s civil lawsuit against him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the deposition, released in 2015 at the request of The Associated Press, Cosby said he obtained several prescriptions for quaaludes in the 1970s and offered the now-banned sedatives to women he wanted to have sex with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also said he gave Constand three half-tablets of the cold and allergy medicine Benadryl before the “petting” began. Prosecutors suggested he drugged her with something stronger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Constand, 44, initially went to police about a year after she said Cosby assaulted her, but a prosecutor declared her case too weak to bring charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A decade later, a new district attorney reopened the investigation after Cosby’s lurid testimony about drugs and sex became public, and dozens of women came forward against one of the most beloved stars in all of show business. He was charged shortly before the statute of limitation was set to expire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McMonagle, in his closing argument, pointed out that Constand telephoned Cosby dozens of times after the alleged assault.

"content": "\u003cp>The woman who accuses Bill Cosby of drugging and violating her more than a decade ago stood by her story at his sex-crimes trial Wednesday, withstanding hours of often ponderous cross-examination that didn’t produce the stumbles the TV star might have hoped for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calm and composed, Andrea Constand brushed off suggestions she and Cosby had a romantic relationship before the 2004 encounter at his suburban Philadelphia home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And she explained away the numerous phone calls she made to him afterward by saying she was merely returning Cosby’s messages about the women’s basketball squad at Temple University, where he was a powerful member of the board of trustees and she was director of team operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Constand, 44, left the witness stand after some seven hours of testimony over two days, during which she told the jury that the comedian gave her three blue pills and then penetrated her with his fingers as she lay paralyzed on a couch, unable to tell him to stop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Constand’s mother followed her on the stand and bolstered her daughter’s account. Gianna Constand told the jury that she was distraught to learn what Cosby had done to her daughter.\u003cbr>\n“They were good friends. She viewed him like a father. He is 10 years older than even her own father,” the mother testified, breaking down on the stand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gianna Constand said she confronted Cosby by phone during a two-hour call in which she said he “surrendered” to her about the sexual encounter and told her he “was sick.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After that conversation, she said, she bought a recording device in hopes that Cosby would again confess to harming her daughter. But she said he kept their next conversation short.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors played a recording of the call, in which Cosby offered to pay for Constand’s education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She could go to school,” he said. “If she wanted to do that, then I would be willing to … pay for the schooling.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cosby is charged with aggravated indecent assault. The 79-year-old comedian once dubbed America’s Dad could get 10 years in prison if convicted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cosby’s lawyers have argued that the sexual encounter with Constand was consensual and have cited phone records showing she called the TV star 53 times afterward, including one call that lasted 20 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Constand said she was returning calls Cosby made to her university-issued cellphone about the basketball team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She continued to do her job,” Constand’s lawyer, Dolores Troiani, said outside court. “This man was a trustee at Temple. Of course she was calling him back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Constand’s long-awaited showdown with Cosby’s lawyers became bogged down in a painstaking examination of her phone records and police statements, and the defense couldn’t budge her off her account of molestation and broken trust.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Constand was direct and polite under cross-examination, even when Agrusa’s questioning grew pointed and accusatory.

Gianna Constand told the jury that she was distraught to learn what Cosby had done to her daughter.\u003cbr>\n“They were good friends. She viewed him like a father. He is 10 years older than even her own father,” the mother testified, breaking down on the stand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The district attorney at the time said the case was too weak to prosecute. But a new set of prosecutors charged Cosby a year and a half ago after the deposition became public and numerous women came forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, McMonagle suggested Constand and the other accuser set to testify were seeking payouts over the allegations.

Kamau Bell: Tales of a 6’4” African American, Heterosexual, Cisgender, Left-Leaning, Asthmatic, Black and Proud Blerd, Mama’s Boy, Dad, and Stand-Up Comedian\u003c/i>.

If I had been great at it, it would be a different book. Then it would be an NBA memoir on ‘how I went from poor to now I’m a gillionaire.’ I just met someone who asked, ‘Were you good at basketball, or were you a waste of height?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>On being hip in his 40s:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are the age of the current culture. Every record store you walk into is playing '90s music. The '90s are currently what everybody’s into. Once it becomes like Brittany Spears, that’s when we’re done.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>On interviewing his nearly 80-year-old mom about her sex life for the parenting podcast \"\u003ca href=\"https://longestshortesttime.com/\">The Longest Shortest Time\"\u003c/a>\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I mean, it made me blush. There’s a couple points where I was like, that’s enough, where I cut her off. You’re not supposed to do that in an interview. But it was my mom. It’s funny, a lot of the work I do, people sort of talk about it as something I’m doing for the world, or maybe for my community. It’s really all pretty selfish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I wanted to have that conversation with my mom for a long time because I didn’t know what was going on. We were really close, and there was this one aspect of her life that we hadn’t talked about, her dating life. I sort of had this narrative in my head that my mom was this lonely person.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>On being a dad to two mixed-race daughters with different complexions:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While they’re clearly sisters, our youngest daughter is much lighter, her hair is much thinner, it’s not as kinky as her sister's. And we’re like, 'Oh, they’re going to have very different experiences.' My wife is #woke. She’s like, ‘Juno’s going to pass.’ And it’s just like wow. There’s two things there. Sami will probably be exotified by some people. And Juno may not be exotified, but she will be able to get into spaces that Sami won’t be able to get into and hear.

I was actually right there with them. Laughter can sort of help motivate. I don’t want you to be sad. I also know how serious the consequences are. If you stay sad, then we’re not going to win. So, let’s get happy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>On interviewing a fully hooded member of the Ku Klux Klan in the woods for his show “United Shades of America\" with a mostly white TV crew:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I kept having to sort of advocate for ‘I need help here,’ that’s a different kind of help than just like, 'What do you need, water?' It’s not that the producers and crew didn’t have my back. They had my physical back but they didn’t have my racial back. Nobody knew how to reach out. Eventually I formed a very deep friendship with them, and now we’re all waking up together.

And there’s more black and brown faces on the crew. So when we do things that sometimes seem crazy, we have each other’s back physically and emotionally. It’s great to have a crew that you can immediately get into the van when you drive away from the scene and be like, ‘That was crazy!’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>On making a podcast called \u003ca href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/denzel-washington-is-the-greatest-actor-of-all-time-period/id935756902?mt=2\">\"Denzel Washington is the Greatest Actor of All Time, Period.”\u003c/a> With 118 episodes!\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We didn’t realize how many other people out there felt the same way we did. Fans, other actors, people who auditioned for roles in Denzel Washington movies and didn’t get 'em. There’s a lot of talk in Hollywood, 'Tom Hanks is so great,' 'Will Ferrell is so great.' Why aren’t people doing that for Denzel? How come whenever we have the conversation about who the greatest actors are, it’s always the same white dudes? It’s like De Niro, Pacino, Brando, DiCaprio – all the “o” actors. How come Denzel’s not in that conversation?”\u003c/p>\n\n",

There’s a couple points where I was like, that’s enough, where I cut her off. You’re not supposed to do that in an interview. But it was my mom. It’s funny, a lot of the work I do, people sort of talk about it as something I’m doing for the world, or maybe for my community. It’s really all pretty selfish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I wanted to have that conversation with my mom for a long time because I didn’t know what was going on. We were really close, and there was this one aspect of her life that we hadn’t talked about, her dating life. I sort of had this narrative in my head that my mom was this lonely person.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>On being a dad to two mixed-race daughters with different complexions:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While they’re clearly sisters, our youngest daughter is much lighter, her hair is much thinner, it’s not as kinky as her sister's. And we’re like, 'Oh, they’re going to have very different experiences.' My wife is #woke. She’s like, ‘Juno’s going to pass.’ And it’s just like wow. There’s two things there. Sami will probably be exotified by some people. And Juno may not be exotified, but she will be able to get into spaces that Sami won’t be able to get into and hear.

I was actually right there with them. Laughter can sort of help motivate. I don’t want you to be sad. I also know how serious the consequences are. If you stay sad, then we’re not going to win.

It’s not that the producers and crew didn’t have my back. They had my physical back but they didn’t have my racial back. Nobody knew how to reach out. Eventually I formed a very deep friendship with them, and now we’re all waking up together.

Fans, other actors, people who auditioned for roles in Denzel Washington movies and didn’t get 'em. There’s a lot of talk in Hollywood, 'Tom Hanks is so great,' 'Will Ferrell is so great.' Why aren’t people doing that for Denzel? How come whenever we have the conversation about who the greatest actors are, it’s always the same white dudes? It’s like De Niro, Pacino, Brando, DiCaprio – all the “o” actors. How come Denzel’s not in that conversation?”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
