“The troublemakers are the caged canaries, children who are more sensitive than their peers to toxic environment of the classroom….”
Early childhood/special educator/researcher, the one always mentioning the kids left behind. Supporting NM to change EC.
Grateful for this publication.
Side-eyeing the fact that it dropped on Thanksgiving.

Publishing decolonial work on exclusion in early childhood on Thanksgiving was not on my 2025 bingo card, but tenure-track irony is undefeated.

I’m genuinely curious why the East Wing demolition happened and hasn’t been stopped. And don’t want the silly “he does what he wants” answers. Don’t permits have to be issued? Companies contracted? Land surveyed? Approvals? Seems like there are either many locally complicit people or laws broken.

Climate scientists, in an effort to stave off despair, aren’t telling the truth about our warming planet. In reality, we're incredibly close to the point of no return: when rising seas drown island nations and almost all coral reefs die.

I never want to go back to the system we had before, though I’ll happily cherrypick the still-useful parts. 🍒

Imagining the what-next is how we stay hopeful and inspired during these dark days.

But before we build the future, it’s high time we reckon with the past. For real this time.

I can’t stop thinking about how the Access Hollywood tape came out before the election even happened, yet suddenly we have people concerned that the President might have lied about being a sexual predator who were totally fine with it when he told the truth about being a sexual predator

Kind of weird that we can gather together to bring millions of people to a protest (that had no demand or purpose other than solidarity) but can’t gather enough people to block all roads into and out of the concentration camp/storm and destroy it.

We’re soft. Complicit.

Super proud to be part of the NM EC investment!
Ages 0-4 are the most important, emotionally & intellectually, in human development.

Yet, in the US, we have a very high rate of childhood poverty and a broken child care system.

Congratulations to New Mexico for leading the way forward for high quality, free child care. Other states must follow.
