“These mothers and children are balancing on a piece of barbed wire waiting to see if they will fall back or forward, sure only that either direction is a long way down.” –from “Mother of Exiles” by @ProfEmilyN. Read the essay here: https://t.co/oYObyDRXp1 #newletterslit

@ranitaray1: My students love your book! One student, who was in charge of providing your bio for the class said that your work is "amazing and inspiring"! :-)

Just finished reading "The Slow Professor" (Seeber and Berg) and thinking about how to create academic communities built on quality over quantity. #AcademicTwitter #mindfulness #slowmovement

"Yes, I love my neighbor more than I love his papers." Royalties from this song going to support the Young Center for Immigrant Children's Rights. https://t.co/fmYQDZYbjM #TheYoungCenter #ArribaCampeón

Just found out that @glynnwashington was a fellow alumnus at GVSU. Why this is not the first thing that one discovers when on the @GVSU website is beyond me. #snapjudgment #fangirl

"I know someone who was sexually assaulted, and therefore I am innocent" is the equivalent of "I know a black person, and therefore I am not racist." Try again. #KavanaughHearings

@c_j_pascoe @ybika Same. I listened to the testimony on the way to work, and cried the entire drive. Now with faculty and students at @ElmhurstCollege watching together. The solidarity helps.

"“The laughter, the uproarious laughter." I'm teaching on @c_j_pascoe's work this week. What an heartbreaking, soul shattering example of teenage boy masculinity that turns into incredible degrees of power. #KavanaughHearings

[Emily Ruehs-Navarro @ProfEmilyN]

Women who don't support other women are the worst kind of women. #KavanaughHearings

[Emily Ruehs-Navarro @ProfEmilyN]

This is outrageous.

[ProPublica @propublica]

After a 15-year-old girl disappeared, her father worried she had been kidnapped and raped by older guys. He went to the Suffolk County Police. They repeatedly ignored his request for an interpreter. https://t.co/OspUdJhxnZ

Anyone else notice parallels between SCPD w/ murdered #immigrant teens and Juarez's murdered women? #Victimblaming, incompetent policing, misdirection, families needing to seek their own justice #nojustice

[This American Life @ThisAmerLife]

Trump praised the Suffolk County police for doing a great job fighting MS-13. But @hannahdreier's reporting found that the police failed repeatedly, particularly when the victims were immigrant kids. https://t.co/sBM6gG3SG2

New job = upping my donation to my @WBEZ. Not gonna lie. Drawing for alaska cruise might have had something to do with it. 😜 #RealTalk

[Emily Ruehs-Navarro @ProfEmilyN]

Data anyone?

[Paloma Diaz Lobos @palomadiazlobos]

One student is trying to confirm the percentage of Latinas who have attained a PhD in the US? And the percentage of Central Americans who have attained a PhD in the US?
Does anyone has data about this?

Record numbers of forcibly displaced people worldwide, and yet the Trump administration has reached record lows in resettlement numbers. #standwithrefugees #forcedfromhome

Excellent interactive educational experience about refugee issues. Downtown Chicago this week. https://t.co/FlmOe8Jd34 #forcedfromhome #standwithrefugees

Not pity or shame. We need social change in how we see fat bodies. (And check out these stunning photos!) #intersectionalfeminism https://t.co/5DYHSELeJy via @Highline
