Cat owner kidnapped by ICE. Cats need a place to land. Can anyone step up? Cats are in the Baltimore area.

Sharing my recent interview for #tapintoNewark, where the local school district has seen an increase in language learners or the last few years and have decided to bus mostly ELs & segregate schools. Parents report not knowing or accessing info. www.tapinto.net/towns/newark...

📣Read our explainer with @youthlaw.bsky.social @immigrantjustice.bsky.social @acaciajustice.bsky.social and others that outlines how the Trump admin. is undercutting Congress’ clear mandate to separate the care & custody of children from DHS’ enforcement goals. More here: bit.ly/4kzyZA6

Such a packed schedule, not enough selfies, but how lucky are we that we get to collectively think through the hard stuff? Love this community & my peeps. Thank you so much @wtgrantfnd.bsky.social for creating such an inclusive space! We march on. #reducinginequality #doitforthekids #gratitude 🥰💪🏽😍

It's so weird and scary to read the whole book for the last time before it's out in the world #nervous #immigranted #undocumentedinthesouth @immigrantednext.bsky.social @rutgersupress.bsky.social

Excited for a conditional acceptance, not excited for the last few minor revisions on a 60 page paper. UM. #sendhelp #almostthere #hopefully

My fav part about grant writing is having a fab grants admin (new to me!) to throw you over the finish line #gratitude #whyisitalwayshard 😅😱🙈🫠

Judith Butler: "Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?"

"No private foundation can take the place of the federal government in its ability to fuel the new knowledge and scientific developments that enable such progress. What we can do, though, is hold true to our own principles," writes @agamoran.bsky.social

OMG my cute little book has a cover up: www.rutgersuniversitypress.org/undocumented... @immigrantednext.bsky.social I dedicated this to my mom and aunt, who sadly will not get to see this come out. For their sacrifices, which made my educational opportunity possible, I am deeply grateful.

Looking forward to seeing and giving a talk next week I can’t believe it’s almost March! Can’t wait to see my fav @timmonreal.bsky.social and colleagues! ❤️💜🙏 #belonging #immigranted @immigrantednext.bsky.social ed.buffalo.edu/news-events/...

Here, I explain how the February 14 "Dear Colleague" letter is a widely expansive distortion of the court’s ruling in SFFA. Institutional responses should remain focused on areas that the Supreme Court addressed and not expand to those clearly outside its purview. www.chronicle.com/article/hitt...

From the national desk, thanks for sharing my thoughts abcnews4.com/news/nation-... @immigrantednext.bsky.social

My first solo book is available for pre-order but I’m also excited that it will be open access. I wanted it to be available for educators & anyone who wanted to support immigrant students in their schools. I’m excited to share more later this spring. #immigranted @immigrantednext.bsky.social

For my latest, I talked with @ctulocal1.bsky.social president Stacy Davis Gates and artist and educator Silvia Gonzalez about how Chicago teachers are creating Sanctuary Teams to protect undocumented students and other marginalized youth from Trump's aggression. (Includes organizing resources.)

Friends with books, did you hire someone to do the index, and if so, can you send me some names?? Thanks!

Overwhelming urge to blast Cher post kickboxing in the street in Soho, which is oddly less weird than a lot of other stuff going on #notsorry
