I enjoyed representing the Children's Book Guild of Washington D.C. at the annual Social Justice Curriculum Fair! I also attended as a teacher. I love this community. #dcareaeducators4socialjustice

This week, the Senate takes up the Farm Bill. And right now, some lawmakers want to lock in deep cuts to food assistance that would hurt millions of families, farmers, and communities. We can’t let this happen. Tell Congress: Protect SNAP in the 2026 Farm Bill!

The Whitney Plantation is a must see for any visitor to Louisiana. It is the only plantation I have seen that completely centers the lives of the enslaved and stories of Black self-liberation.

Trump's lawless ICE operation spent $700 MILLION of your tax dollars on 7 warehouses they’re now trying to get rid of.   Not only is this ICE operation draconian & inhumane, it's an abuse of taxpayer dollars, paid for by their cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. It's twisted.
ICE Spent $700 Million on 7 Warehouses. Now It Wants to Get Rid of Them.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement plans to sell or give away most of the 11 warehouses it bought to detain migrants, reversing course on a signature initiative.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes. $9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Renee Good and Alex Pretti were unavailable for comment….

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
