Had an amazing experience presenting w/ @PeerDefense youth at @classcrits conference on our research re dignity and the law, how classroom censorship & anti-LGBTQ actions constitute dignity takings, and how intergenerational movement lawyering can facilitate dignity restoration.

Colonialism in action. The continued exploitation & pillaging of people & land made worse by denying the most basic of social safety nets. My heart both hurts & is filled with rage for my family on the island. Siempre en la brega. Enough is enough. 🇵🇷 amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/04/21/p…

Greg Abbot has officially directed Family and Protective Services to begin investigating all trans children in Texas and prosecuting their parents as child abusers. He has also instructed all teachers, doctors, and caregivers to begin reporting any trans students they see.

Even after 14 years working as a lawyer, it’s still amazing to me that this country decides who is in a cage before trial and who is home with their family by whether they have cash

They’re really going to get rid of masking in schools during a surge and then wonder why thousands of medically vulnerable teachers quit. Can’t wait for the mystified articles about the teacher shortage!

For two mornings now I woke up early to lesson plan, but I just don’t have it in me anymore. I am mentally exhausted. Winter break was 3 weeks ago and it feels like months ago. :/

Leaders are gonna “be careful with space heaters” us to death to shift blame onto the victims and away from the residential conditions that made the fire possible and so deadly.
