The New School, and the critical/ radical project it has long represented, is being dismantled. As a proud alumna, I stand in solidarity with my former professors and with the many students who are striving to keep it alive.

Sometimes you finally read a book you’ve been meaning to read for years, and it is just as good as you anticipated. “The Allure of the Archives” is such a gem! Beautiful read for those of us who love the archives.

Happy to share my recent interview with one of Mexico’s leading magazines, Proceso, on the ascent of the new Christian right in the country, its connections to MAGA, and its uses of history, inc the Cristero War, for political purposes (article in Spanish) www.proceso.com.mx/reportajes/2...

La nueva derecha cristiana reza por su renacimiento político

Este movimiento político ha ganado visibilidad debido a las redes sociales y a liderazgos como el de Eduardo Verástegui, alineados al proyecto ultraderechista MAGA de Donald Trump. Sin embargo, no ha ...

Great piece by @profmpastor.bsky.social, reporting from L.A.: "The attack on immigrants now is a dry run for the strongman tactics that will later be used on us all. And finding a path of resistance that is fierce but not reckless, mass but not middling, strong but not violent will be a challenge."

Earlier this month I had the chance to tour the shelter Mexico built in Ciudad Juárez to receive migrants deported by Trump as part of the 'Mexico embraces you' program. The shelter can serve 2,500 people per day, but as of last week they have received 2,800 migrants since Feb. My story:

elpasotimes.com

‘Mexico embraces you’ shelter in Juárez stands ready, but few migrants arrive to fill it

Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum launched "Mexico embraces you' to receive immigrants deported from U.S. Numbers are low, but the 10-center program continues.

Delighted to have a piece in The Conversation today. Can centring lived experience in activism weaken collective action? And why is the far right starting to use this language too? theconversation.com/lived-experi... #activism #livedexperience @theconversation.com

‘Lived experience’ is valued in activism – but is it doing more harm than good?

Activists without ‘lived experience’ can feel unsure of their place.
