Some nights, you take a batch of whistles off the printer and feel it with your whole heart. ICE OUT OF NYC. ICE OUT EVERYWHERE. Shut down the camps. Prosecute the secret police and politicians who engineered this. Put my tax dollars back to feeding kids and giving people vaccines.

If you are in D.C., come join us for this conversation @catholicuniversity.bsky.social

If you are at @teachforamerica.bsky.social #TFA35 on Friday, come say hi at the Book Nook at 5pm. I will be speaking about Sanctuary School @harvard-ed-press.bsky.social

This month, we're spotlighting books that serve as effective resources for the US midterm elections. One such title is SANCTUARY SCHOOL by @chandlermiranda.bsky.social, which highlights the ways that K–12 schools can provide safe spaces for immigrant students. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4cgnP1A

SANCTUARY SCHOOL by @chandlermiranda.bsky.social "represents a significant contribution to scholarship on immigrant-origin youth, school climate, and equity-centered reform." —@ed-review.bsky.social https://bit.ly/4fQcI1D

This just came out this morning, and I have some thoughts (a thread): A national divide over holding back students: Some states do it young, others wait until high school hechingerreport.org/a-national-d...

A national divide over holding back students: Some states do it young, others wait until high school

Fewer students are being held back, according to a Big Local News/Hechinger Report analysis. Research on the impact on students is mixed

I biked my kids to school today and car traffic was worse than usual. I got asked directions on the subway three times on the way home driving out to Long Island today was horrendous. The #lirr strike is hardest on the working class and immigrants. Pay people a living wage and end the strike!

In light of ICE action in BK on Saturday, I'll point out that I and others have been loudly asking executive leaders & policymakers for almost a year about concrete, specific plans for heavy-handed ICE operations in NYC — particularly around NYPD — and gotten mostly vagaries. See this from last Sept

If the federal crackdown comes to New York City

New York City has so far been spared the aggressive immigration enforcement that has rocked Los Angeles. The city is bracing for that to change.

If you want to truly be in awe of the person running the sanitation department in NYC, read @rznagle.bsky.social ethnography, Picking Up: On the Streets and Behind the Trucks with the Sanitation Workers of New York City. Truly one of my favorite books about NYC.

The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus. You want to know what insults Jesus? Kicking the sick off their healthcare. Bombing schoolchildren in Iran. Deporting moms and babies. Covering up the Epstein files.

BREAKING: We're suing Colorado for incarcerating hundreds of children in highly-restrictive dangerous detention facilities after a court said they may be released. These jail-like settings risk inflicting lasting harm on kids physically, psychologically, socially and academically.

"ICE has detained and deported hundreds of pregnant, postpartum and nursing immigrants since the start of the Trump administration, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed for the first time Wednesday." https://bit.ly/4bRtECC

ICE has been deporting pregnant and postpartum immigrants. Now we know how many.

The numbers offer the most detailed look at how many pregnant, postpartum and nursing people have been caught up in the immigration enforcement surge, despite federal policy discouraging the practice.

Headed to #sfaa2026 in Albuquerque to talk about my book Sanctuary School. The last time I was in Albuquerque was as a student at Oñate Elementary. I like to think my writing has come leaps and bounds since 1992. My drawing skills are about the same @harvard-ed-press.bsky.social

Our @sxswedu.com panels brought together the policy, advocacy and research folks that will continue the fight for joy, justice, sanctuary and accompaniment for immigrant youth, families and communities. I feel so lucky to be working alongside these luchadoras! #sxswedu

You can pick up a copy of Sanctuary School at #scswedu this week! @sxswedu.com
