A mother in Minneapolis was abducted by ICE and sent to a detention center in Texas, leaving behind a 16 year old and a 3-month old baby. The baby was breastfed and hadn't eaten in a over day. Then a superhero arrived with 350 oz of breastmilk, bottles & extra clothes. 19thnews.org/2026/02/minn...

When one mother was taken by ICE, another stepped in to donate breastmilk
Moms in Minneapolis are donating diapers, food and time to help families who have been ripped apart by ICE.

I voted NO on H.R. 7147, the FY 2026 Department of Homeland Security appropriations bill, which would continue to fund ICE & Customs and Border Protection at outrageous levels and further enable the Trump Administration’s racist enforcement actions against immigrant communities across this country.

The basic infrastructures that allow women to be participants in public life—birth control & abortion access, no fault divorce, childcare access & affordability, civil rights law in employment and public accommodations, the minimal efforts to mitigate sexual and domestic violence—are all crumbling.

Rubella causes severe defects in developing fetuses. Won’t it be great to have it come back? I mean, it’s not like kids ever share germs, and they definitely are never near anyone pregnant. www.cdc.gov/rubella/preg...

truly "free" would mean not doing our jobs, and debate is (at least for me) a much lower priority than interpretation, contextualization, synthesis, collaboration, empathizing, and other skills that I believe cultivate a historical consciousness and informed citizen. Debate can be useful but only/
