ICE told Emerson Colindres, who just graduated HS, to get fitted for ankle monitor. It was a trick. They put him in Butler Jail to deport him bc he has path to legal status. If his family gives OK, I’ll share more. Hear from his mom + soccer coach in Cincinnati. www.fox19.com/video/2025/0...

MR @angelalin.bsky.social "Migration is a basic act of being human.... But, as immigrants try to make Ohio their home, the current political climate is disrupting the natural, heartfelt joy of migration with manufactured, gut-wrenching horror."

"So we must take it upon ourselves to be brave... Show the world that Ohio stands with immigrants — because immigrants are the real heart of it all."

there’s lots to be sad about but right now I’m finding joy in the fact I quickly and randomly created Wally the Walrus the Writer at a convening this summer who jokingly became the mascot of our national comms network, and now he’s been immortalized in pillow form and he’s perfect and I love him 😭🩵🥺

As some high profile liberals wring their hands and falsely claim that treating trans people with dignity and respect cost us an election, I'm proud to work for a union that continues to speak up for trans rights.

Every child deserves a safe & welcoming learning environment, but extremist legislators continue to bully vulnerable students rather than tackle real problems that our schools & communities face.
