In the Netherlands I am always moved by the Stumble Stones or Stolpersteine (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stolper...). Some day we must have them in the US to mark the victims of ICE

I voted ‘early’ - grateful for the chance to do so even in off years. Voting rights and true representation are among the values we must fight for

It’s the last day of SIGN10. It’s been a great conference. I learned a lot. Thanks to the organizers, presenters, and participants!
