Therapeutic trip to the Cheech yesterday. The piece is by Yreina D. Cervantez, “Camino Largo.” I like how the artist turns this image of an elderly woman with a gun strapped across her body into a milagro.

The position I'd like to see House and Senate Democrats take is pretty simple: We refuse to cooperate with Republicans on anything until they stop breaking the law and trashing the Constitution. We want Musk out, DOGE dissolved, and the Trump administration complying with federal court orders.

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

We’re over here preparing for the worst with our undocu students, learning protocols about what to do if ICE comes on campus. Schools, churches, and hospitals used to be considered “sensitive” locations, but not any more.

“I want to dedicate this award to all my immigrant brothers and sisters in this country. You are loved, you are worth it, and I will always fight with you.” — Shakira during her #GRAMMYs acceptance speech.

She deserved it not just because of her overall artistry but because the album is fantastic.

I’m glad Shakira dedicated her Grammy to the immigrant community. Even if it’s just symbolic, it was good to hear an acknowledgement of the community.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

I don’t play video games, but Gabrielle Zevin’s Tomorrow, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow was one the best books I read last year. And tonight I was totally compelled by the movie “Free Guy.” I guess escapism and imagining other worlds is where it’s at rn.
