Former WBZ anchor Kate Merrill says she is suing station because she ‘was not treated fairly'
Merrill Merrill, who joined WBZ in 2004 as a reporter and rose to co-anchor of the Boston station's morning show, said she suffered discrimination on the basis of her race and gender. Paramount opened an investigation into her conduct after two Black coworkers separately raised complaints about her, the lawsuit said. Advertisement In the 57-page complaint, Merrill alleges that the defendants did nothing to investigate a sexually suggestive on-air comment and unrelated verbal confrontation by one of those coworkers, meteorologist Jason Mikell. Mikell allegedly yelled at Merrill across the studio floor and said she was critical of him after Merrill corrected his pronunciation of the town name 'Concord' in a private text message, the lawsuit stated. Advertisement In her social media post, Merrill said she was proud of her two decades of work at the station 'championing voices from all communities, mentoring young journalists of every background, and covering stories that reflect the full spectrum of life in our city.' 'I poured my heart into this work because I believe deeply in the power of journalism to inform, connect, and uplift a community I love,' Merrill wrote. 'It is with profound sadness that I now find myself in the position of bringing a legal complaint against a station and company that I once considered part of my family,' the post said. 'This decision was not made lightly,' Merrill said. 'It was made because I believe fairness must apply to everyone, regardless of race, gender, or background and I was not treated fairly.' 'Let me be clear: I support efforts to ensure newsrooms are reflective of the communities they serve,' the post continued. 'That is not what this case is about.' Merrill said the suit is to make sure no one else is 'unjustifiably pushed aside ... to meet a target or an agenda.' In closing, Merrill wrote, 'Boston is my home. Telling this city's stories has been my greatest professional privilege. I hope that through this process, the values of accountability and fairness I've always tried to uphold will be honored, too.' Merill also filed discrimination charges with the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which she withdrew to pursue the lawsuit.

Pressley calls Trump's federal takeover in D.C. ‘racist and rogue,' compares it to Boston's Stuart murder case
Pressley compared Trump's federal operation in Washington to the Stuart case, the 1989 killing of Carol Stuart, a pregnant white woman whose husband, Charles Stuart, falsely told police that a Black man had attacked them while they were driving in Mission Hill. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up During the search for the suspect, police carried out aggressive raids in Mission Hill, breaking down doors without warning and putting residents to stop-and-frisk searches. Advertisement 'And what is happening here in D.C. and, then the targeting of Black men and Black youth, in particular, which to me is very reminiscent of Boston after the Charles Stuart case, is very reminiscent of New York under [former Mayor Rudolph] Giuliani with stop-and-frisk,' Pressley said. In November of that year, after Charles' brother Matthew told police he was responsible for Carol's death, Charles leapt from Boston's Tobin Bridge and died. Pressley described the heightened tensions in the D.C. community, saying, 'You know, my God children who live in the city, they're young Black boys. And they're afraid to go to their summer jobs. They're fearful of what it's going to be like, their walk [to] school.' Advertisement 'And again, don't think that anything Donald Trump has done, whether it's his targeting of sanctuary cities or the militarization of D.C., this has nothing to do with public safety, [it] has nothing to do with law and order,' she added. Pressley then referred to the arrest of Tufts PhD student 'When you are disappearing people from the streets of Somerville, when you are targeting people in this way, it's terrorism,' Pressley said. 'And that terror, that fear that you're stoking, makes us all less safe.' Alyssa Vega can be reached at

Texas Democrat abruptly leaves call with DNC chair, citing felony warning
Texas Democratic state Rep. Nicole Collier on a call with DNC Chair Ken Martin and other senior party leaders told them she had to abruptly leave the call after being warned it was a felony offense. The big picture: Collier was among the Texas Democrats who left the state in a two-week protest over a new congressional map before returning on Monday, when the state House reached a quorum. She slept in the state Capitol on Monday and accused the state's House speaker of illegally confining her and threatening her with arrest. Driving the news: Martin was speaking when Collier suddenly said, "Sorry, I have to leave. They said it's a felony for me to do this. Apparently I can't be on the floor or in the bathroom." Sen. Cory Booker (DN.J.) and California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), who were also on the call, looked shocked at what happened. "That is outrageous," Booker said. "What they're trying to do right there, is silence an American leader, silence a Black woman and that is outrageous."
