Sing it, sister.
Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

And, did I mention generous?! Seriously grateful.
Yayy! News is out! Nicole is a brilliant writer and I am utterly in love with her brilliant upmarket novel that speaks to the pulls of motherhood, career and gender role expectations on her academic MC. Subtle, nuanced, gorgeous.

Why use a derogatory phrase against women to characterize the toxic depravity on display in the WH today? Check your soft misogyny, friends.

When we survive this dark chapter and there are sane people back in charge, can we agree that education and specifically civics education to ensure an informed, educated citizenry will be a high priority?
