“The importance right now is in the judiciary.. and in the lawyers who argue on our behalf…” says Rep Joaquin Castro. This is WHY MALDEF matters. There is no major civil rights legislation or law regarding Latinos in this nation that has not been touched by MALDEF. @maldef.bsky.social

Thank you for your courage and conscience, Congressman Joaquin Castro. Texas proud. USA proud. MALDEF proud. Congratulations on this award! @maldef.bsky.social

Do they have ALANON-like mtgs for friends, family members and students affected by sudden explosions of F-Up racism? Like noon time meetings? So you can get back to the job quickly. Asking for a friend.

Thank you @aeraedresearch.bsky.social And when we get these back, let’s all make sure the surveys and the designers are more demographically inclusive and representative of our nation’s public schools.

Build on love and friendship. Let's not shame each other but do hold one another accountable. Prepare to forgive and be forgiven. Prepare for the rebuilding. We can do this. You can do this. Don't get distracted. 4/4

They will be the new architects of a system that we were trying to awkwardly fix by convincing others to include the excluded. When we rebuild, we will rebuild with new knowledge, new alliances, stronger values, better research and practice, and more inclusion. 3/4

The hardest part of my day is motivating my students to not lose hope.They ask me how I can stand in front of the classroom, teach the Constitution and public policy, and not cry.We need to show them that making their milestones matter. That their skill sets will be what we need when we rebuild. 2/3

So glad folks are speaking up in their own ways. Next time one of our states gets attacked, let’s all rise together. Texas tears are real, but our Florida friends need us even more…Because we eventually all get attacked. 1/2

Today’s knife on knife seminar was quite exciting. Midlife crisis, preparing for the apocalypse, or just a new hobby for stress release? I’ve also taken up knitting.

Spent the day at the vet today. My boy is doing better after some meds. The vet said he was sweet and humble. My parents would be so proud.
