I've signed the open letter backing Ghent's investigation into Nathan Cofnas. I respect that colleagues differ. But I remain concerned about what I saw as a racist pile-on against a Black scholar in the weeks before his death. If you agree, consider signing it docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

The Sheriff in Cumberland County, Maine confirmed that ICE detained a U.S. citizen who is a Black corrections recruit. This is racial profiling, unchecked power, and state violence happening in real time. #AbolishICE #Maine #FDT

When someone cites you and you realise you said something quite clever.. :) young people’s capacity for agency is “socially, relationally and materially constituted, rather than being an essential quality or production of the individual child” (Callaghan et al., 2025, p. 8).

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members. At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

ICE has now sent at least 72 people to prisons in African countries where they have no ties. Via two ICE flights to Rwanda, two to Eswatini, three to Ghana and one to S. Sudan. Some had US convictions but had finished their sentences. None have convictions in the places where they're now jailed.

Very disappointing to see such political interference in the curriculum. Whatever one might think about aspects of the existing curriculum (and I certainly have my own criticisms of it), it must be remembered that many individuals and communities gave their time and expertise in its development.
