I just published my latest "public philosophy" piece, "Antisemitism damages Mexico protests," in Salon. I explore antisemitism and sexism against President Claudia Sheinbaum in recent protests in Mexico, using Jean-Paul Sartre's "Anti-Semite and Jew" and Jewish feminist writings. Link below!

Greetings, all! OUP just sent me a discount code for my new book Intimate Borders: Feminist Migration Ethics. See below (and use) if you are interested in ordering!

"The aim, therefore, of patriots, was to set limits to the power which the ruler should be suffered to exercise over the community; and this limitation was what they meant by liberty." - John Stuart Mill, On Liberty, 1859

In this interview, APA member @amyrs.bsky.social (UNLV) shares why her research and forthcoming book, “Intimate Borders, Feminist Migration Ethics,” are more timely and relevant than ever. www.unlv.edu/news/article...

Cover reveal for my forthcoming book Intimate Borders: Feminist Migration Ethics! It features a photo from the extraordinary photojournalist Guillermo Arias. I am grateful to him and to OUP for working with me to put this powerful image on my cover.

Claudia Sheinbaum just gave her first State of the Union address ("informe de la nación) which included references to immigration justice, education reform, poverty reduction, etc. A standout moment was when she referred to the Gulf of Mexico--and then repeated it for emphasis--inspiring applause.

Scholars of immigration, join us tomorrow!

I published an article in Salon about Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum--and how international media can/should do a better job of representing her and her politics: www.salon.com/2025/07/15/c...

Hundreds of American rabbis have protested Netanyahu’s mass murder in Gaza but they rarely get any media attention. That also happened in February 2015 when more than 400 rabbis from Britain and around the world called on Benjamin Netanyahu to stop the demolition of Palestinian homes.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Will be writing in Mexico City for the next two weeks ❤️

this is the level of funding where all the possibilities for American politics that have been described as hyperbolic over the past decades - the comparisons to Nazi Germany and other nightmares of the 20th century - become logistically possible and politically likely

An important read by my UNLV colleague @robvato.bsky.social

When ICE agents look like this, it is ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE for state and local law enforcement to step in and demand they identify themselves and show judicial warrants before detaining anyone from an immigration court. Democratic mayor and governors can take action on this.

The page proofs are here!

What they aren’t showing on Fox News

If only the DNC could put the same energy it has in kneecapping its most powerful young activists into stopping sending me fundraising emails.

in the spirit of self-crit: in past years I have certainly been among those who have been vocally skeptical of the role of law and lawyers in meaningfully constraining armed agents of the state. but I do think we have to hand it to lawyers at this time

This isn't the fundamental, constitutional problem with assassinating USAID, but it is an important economic consequence. Among the main beneficiaries of USAID are US farmers who sell crops that are then used as foreign aid. wapo.st/4hP0ELY

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.
