I just published my latest "public philosophy" piece, "Antisemitism damages Mexico protests," in Salon. I explore antisemitism and sexism against President Claudia Sheinbaum in recent protests in Mexico, using Jean-Paul Sartre's "Anti-Semite and Jew" and Jewish feminist writings. Link below!

Claudia Sheinbaum just gave her first State of the Union address ("informe de la nación) which included references to immigration justice, education reform, poverty reduction, etc. A standout moment was when she referred to the Gulf of Mexico--and then repeated it for emphasis--inspiring applause.

For your summer reading: In a new piece on the ethics of migration policy dilemmas, we explain why a 'myth busting' approach to migration policy is insufficient and sometimes misleading. All contributions to this roundtable on "dilemmas" are linked below.

Thanks for reading my article, freedom. This piece isn't a comprehensive overview of Sheinbaum’s political career, but rather, a feminist analysis of how she is constantly "represented" in relation to powerful men.

I published an article in Salon about Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum--and how international media can/should do a better job of representing her and her politics: www.salon.com/2025/07/15/c...

salon.com

Claudia Sheinbaum has a story to tell — and we need to listen

Mexico's president is being defined in relation to powerful men. Allowing that to happen will be our loss

Hundreds of American rabbis have protested Netanyahu’s mass murder in Gaza but they rarely get any media attention. That also happened in February 2015 when more than 400 rabbis from Britain and around the world called on Benjamin Netanyahu to stop the demolition of Palestinian homes.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

this is the level of funding where all the possibilities for American politics that have been described as hyperbolic over the past decades - the comparisons to Nazi Germany and other nightmares of the 20th century - become logistically possible and politically likely

When ICE agents look like this, it is ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE for state and local law enforcement to step in and demand they identify themselves and show judicial warrants before detaining anyone from an immigration court. Democratic mayor and governors can take action on this.

in the spirit of self-crit: in past years I have certainly been among those who have been vocally skeptical of the role of law and lawyers in meaningfully constraining armed agents of the state. but I do think we have to hand it to lawyers at this time

Also, I think I'm generally aware of the terrific op-eds and podcast interviews, etc., that many of my migration philosophy colleagues have produced--but I'm sure there are noteworthy gaps in my knowledge. Pleas share your favorite philosophical op-eds, etc. on migration. Self-promotion is welcome!

Amy Reed-Sandoval @amyrs.bsky.social · 20/03/2025

I argue that at this extraordinarily difficult time, feminists based in the United States (and around the world!) can derive inspiration, wisdom and practical lessons from the work of Gago and other Ni Una Menos feminists who are fighting fascism and other njustices with transversal spirit.
