🚨HOLY HELL!! Jamie Raskin obliterates Trump’s smear machine by laying out Jack Smith’s entire career - and the real reason Trump wants him in prison:

“He says you belong in prison, not because you did anything wrong… but because you did everything right.”

Are those who support these monsters. The racism is on full view. It’s never been about criminals. I’ve worked in their communities for close to 2 decades. These are hand working ppl. I’ll never forgive those who either voted or didn’t vote for this regime

During that time my then first graders and their family shared stories of the migra hiding to ambush families and detain/deport them. Now these agents aren’t hiding but kidnapping in broad view and worse. The brutality and cruelty is the point. It infuriates and sickens me so much Worse? 2/3

Seeing pictures of La migra kidnapping a 5 yr old to use as bait brought up memories of being a bilingual teacher in middle school 90s in L.A. elementary school during CA English Only ballot & my first graders asking me if I’d let La migra take them from classroom 1/2

Why the 25th Amendment if we don’t use it?

I also try to end with hope and my characters arcing. #kidlitchat

Also I try to have diversity in my stories. Espie is Latina. Selena is first generation Mexican American. My first novel was a Latina teen who goes to a parallel world filled with Mexican legends. #kidlitchat

Quickly turned TV off after 47 ranting he’ll take Greenland and no nation stand in his way. Uh, where have we heard this before?

Strong women is another thing in all my books. #kidlitchat

Hmmm, interesting question. Probably how my characters question even when others try to discourage it. #kidlitchat
Connection! I’m always looking at ways characters break through to each other and *see* one another. #kidlitchat That’s my recurring theme.
TOPIC: What's the most "YOU" aspect of your work? A character, a situation from your own life, a recurring theme, or the way conflict is resolved? What's uniquely you? #kidlitchat

If your Pastor is also a regional ICE director you aren’t in a Church, you’re at a Klan rally.

Intriguing premise. What if you could find your soulmate by a test. Only in this series it’s much more complicated. Like what happens if the one dies? Or they haven’t been born yet? Haunting and I was totally hooked. On Netflix

Costs of repairs up as well.
