Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Marrying a U.S. citizen does NOT automatically grant a green card. 1.5 million US citizens are married to an undocumented spouse who cannot adjust their status because there is NO way to do it.
This puts all their family members in emotional limbo.
New research reveals the profound impact on mixed-status families—where at least one family member lacks legal immigration status. 🧵

Marrying a U.S. citizen does NOT automatically grant a green card. These families face deportation threats that fundamentally reshape how they live, parent, and cope.

Most Americans want childcare to be more cheaper and more accessible. They don’t care about birth rates.

None of the various pronatalist efforts under consideration by this administration will improve our childcare infrastructure & make it more affordable. apnews.com/article/pron...

This is an important PSA from Dr. Beachgem, who is a pediatric emergency physician

I love that she talks about drownings that are fatal and non-fatal, and mentions that many drownings happen with multiple adults present
