Mother's Day is coming up next month, and we'll spend some $33 billion on flowers and brunches honoring the moms we love. But check out www.mothersdaymovement.org , which helps or saves lives of moms in general (t's an addition to flowers, not a substitute!!)

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Mohsen Mahdawi of White River Junction, Vermont was illegally detained by ICE during what was supposed to be the final step in his citizenship process.

Mr. Mahdawi, a legal resident of the US, must be afforded due process under the law and immediately released from detention.

“No government — regardless of which party is in power — should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue,” Alan Garber, Harvard’s president, said about President Trump's demands. nyti.ms/4jzSS9W

Mohsen Mahdawi, a permanent U.S. resident living in White River Junction, was arrested Monday when he arrived for a citizenship interview at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services field office in Colchester, according to court filings.

The Department of Education, among other things, is what funds special education for children with disabilities.

Trump’s executive order will hurt kids and parents in virtually every school district in the country.

I stand with the Massachusetts educators suing the Trump administration to stop the dismantling of the Department of Education.

This is a fight for an America where it's not just rich kids who get a quality education—but every kid.

Happy #WorldDownSyndromeDay Sure, we're wearing our mismatched socks in solidarity. But that won't be enough. Let's envision and actively work toward a future in which there is full access, acceptance and value for all people. #disabilityrights @ndscongress.bsky.social @ndrnadvocates.bsky.social

No, Mr. President, you cannot illegally arrest and detain legal US residents because of their political views or opinions.

In America, we have a little something called the First Amendment.

Throwing protesters in jail is yet another step on the path to authoritarianism.

It's the anniversary of the Capitol Crawl, a demonstration to push for passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act. And I, for one, think another spectacle like this is long overdue. www.history.com/news/america...

For @motherjones.com, I reported on how looming Medicaid cuts could deprive millions of disabled people of health insurance. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Take a listen to @priya-lalvani.bsky.social on @mcie.org with @timvillegas.com on her discussion on the “battle” (metaphor) taken on by parents in inclusive education.

I had a lot of thoughts:

As one of the original March for Science organizers, I couldn't be more excited to support a new team that is organizing another day of mass mobilization in support of science at a time when we need it most.

Here's a great interview with the @standupforscience.bsky.social team in @sciam.bsky.social
