One Woman’s Message From the Hell of ICE Detention
My husband, son, and I have been locked up for months—despite being permanent residents with no criminal record. It is an unendurable, unending nightmare.

AOC: Millennials are not punk kids anymore. We're grown adults with mortgages and kids, and that generation is starting to be decisive at the polls. And there is anger at being ignored, having our economic futures mortgaged by the generations that came before us and we're taking the reins

In dishonor of Ross Douthat's last NYT column, I'm breaking my self-imposed ban on reading him—smug bad faith, whiny victimization, and steadfast refusal to let evidence affect opinion—and will screenshot and comment.
This is the column if you want to read it yourself (I don't recommend it).

All immigrants, regardless of age, deserve due process. The Trump admin's weaponization of the court system puts immigrant children in the crosshairs of the deportation machine.

Inside the NYC Courtroom Where Detained Children Face Deportation Without Attorneys
Around 20,000 unaccompanied minors nationwide are set to lose legal services when the federal government ends a contract Friday. One NYC immigration court shows us what that will look like.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

what a major loss
Sad to hear of the passing of the remarkable scholar Johanna Fernández. Dr. Fernández was committed to sharing important history inside and outside the academy. Her work as Lead Scholar on Hidden Voices: Latines in US History ensured Latinx history will be available to K-12 students everywhere.
