A thread on birthright citizenship I wrote in 2018, that unfortunately remains relevant. I always thought this was where it was all headed. Abolishing birthright citizenship for the non-white and non-rich. And why I teach on United States v. Wong Kim Ark every semester. Who was Wong Kim Ark? 1/

Submitted my paper proposal abstract for the MALCS Summer Institute today! Hope to see some of yall in Minneapolis in July ☀️

Writing a conference paper abstract the week after Christmas is not going so well. My brain is still in vacation mode. Or in a carb coma 🤷🏻‍♀️

Maybe I shouldn’t be, but I’m legitimately shocked ⬇️

My book was published one year ago! Through events in CA, Texas, and Arizona, I’ve met incredible people—student affairs staff supporting undocumented students, committed allies , and students affected by terrible immigration policies. It’s been an immense privilege to be in community with you all ❤️

This week I presented my book research about undocumented student activists to an awesome group of students, staff, and faculty at Long Beach City College. I appreciated being in that space, especially given that so many undocumented students start their higher ed journeys at community college✊🏽

This has been my experience with students, too ⬇️

As I have every Fall semester of my 21 years at Fitchburg State, I start First-Year Writing I with a personal essay assignment. Without fail--without exception--even if they are struggling with every other aspect of college writing--students write powerfully about themselves. AI could fucking never.

After many years of seeing alumni books in the Stanford Magazine, it’s exciting (and surreal!) to see my book featured in these pages.

I feel like the first amendment should already cover this…

For the first time in 215 years of Mexican history, a woman led the national cry of independence late Monday night: President Claudia Sheinbaum, the first female president in the country’s history. nyti.ms/4mjCqvh

The cool kids in the thrift shop are talking about their CD collections 👵🏼

And FTR, whether or not you believe he “deserved” to get shot (few victims of gun violence “deserve” it), these are his words: "I think it's worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.”

Apple Music just took me back to my freshman year of college when it played a track by Big Head Todd and The Monsters; my roommate had that CD and Counting Crows on repeat all that year. #90s

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

So I guess racial profiling is now both practice AND policy.

YESSSSSSSSSS

Governor Pritzker isn’t playing— salt trucks form a blockade to block ICE — time to melt

This whole national rebranding thing is not great

Lately I’ve found being online depressing/distressing, but it was pretty great to see a new #HomeCooking come up on my podcast feed.

I’m nicer in Spanish 🤷🏻‍♀️

The fact that multilingual people have a unique personality in each language is utterly fascinating.

Rather than writing blah lit review, it might be useful to think of those you cite as guests invited to a wedding. You know, EVERYBODY knows that old uncle Bob is gross. You could invite him and stick him in the corner. Or you could not invite him. But do not seat him at the main table.
