A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

My neighborhood has less lights and decorations than years before, the mood is just not the same.
It’s not just families going out door to door it’s also, families not wanting to have people show up at their door.
The fear this #Halloween is def not within the realm of fantasy 😔

That Rob Schneider comment should segway into a great opportunity to highlight the history of children’s #hospitals and how they played a pivotal role in medical innovations (ie. Iron Lung) and children’s life expectancy. Just sayin. #histmed

As promised, if you’re inspired by the march today but don’t know how else to get involved, how to sustainably fight fascism, that can look a few different ways. Here’s a thread of thoughts, short of nationwide withholding of labor / sustained protest:

This is good reporting on the disaster in Alaska if you're looking for a reliable summary.
This is a bigger disaster than I think most are realizing. 1500 people have been displaced by the flooding with an exceptionally complicated response and recovery.

We carry legos in our library to help as a de-stressor for our students and would love to have one of these to raise awareness of how play theory and legos can help lower anxiety in pediatric patients #medlibs
‘96% of healthcare professionals said the model helps to reduce children’s anxiety, and 46% reported a lesser need to use sedation after the children played with the set.‘
‘Lego doesn’t sell the sets and instead has donated more than 10,000 of the kits to hospitals around the world.’
