COVID-19 disproportionately impacts communities of color, and anti-immigrant policies leading up to the pandemic are interfering with efforts to test, treat, and track it. Ana is an undocumented immigrant I work with who bravely shares her battle with covid on @tradeoffspod

New data suggest undocumented immigrants aren’t being tested enough for COVID-19.

What’s standing in the way, and what’s being done to address it?

Books are not in danger. They have resisted plagues, dictatorships, natural disasters. They'll outlive us because they are a perfect vehicle of thought & sentiment, like forks or chopsticks are to food. But the book market is in a dire place. Support it. Not via Amazon (never):

Tell the Senate: Pass legislation like the Dream Act of 2019 and the Secure Act of 2019 to protect #TPS and #DACA and create a roadmap to citizenship for all immigrants! #HomeIsHere https://t.co/i5nnOVg32a
