This is not acceptable. ICE’s massive detention machine must end.

Check out my opinion piece in the online New York Times: "‘American Dirt’ Is Proof the Publishing Industry Is Broken" https://t.co/p4xZxgQyf7

THIS is what it looks like to be an ally to our communities.

[UTRGV CENTER FOR MEXICAN AMERICAN STUDIES @UTRGV_CMAS]

Like @DavidOBowles says, read it for your pipping hot DISSENTING critiques.

[NBC Latino @NBCLatino]

Despite the controversy over #AmericanDirt, Chicano author @DavidOBowles says more Latinos should read the book and add their voices to the conversation, as the dialogue will “lose weight if the same chorus of people are repeating the same things.”

Another day, another violation by border agents

A Guatemalan trans woman forced into the "Remain in Mexico" program passed her fear interview today, meaning she should be allowed to continue seeking asylum freely in the US. But her lawyer fears they'll send her to ICE detention

[Vox @voxdotcom]

Why so many people are mad about the new immigration novel American Dirt. https://t.co/a8neMHQITn

[UTRGV CENTER FOR MEXICAN AMERICAN STUDIES @UTRGV_CMAS]

Y’all this is going to be too good to miss!

[Craft Cultura @CraftCultura]

Join us Sunday, January 26th at @grindcoffeetx as we kick-off our @craftcultura Book Club!☕📖 Inspired by writers of color who have and continue to use literature as a weapon of love, critical thinking & resistance. We invite you to BYOB (Bring Your Own Book) for our 1st meet!

[Cristela Alonzo @cristela9]

FYI: There’s a book out called American Dirt about a border crossing filled w/harmful Mexican stereotypes that hurt rather than help the community. Oprah picked it for her book club. You want to see how authentic it is? These barbed wire centerpieces were used at party for it.

[Chicago Abortion Fund @ChiAbortionFund]

It’s the 47th anniversary of #RoeVWade, but unfortunately legal doesn’t mean accessible. We’re here to say fuck the abortion stigma - there is NOTHING wrong with having an abortion, and we are going to continue to work hard to provide access to as many folks as possible💜 #roe47
