Linguistic and cultural diversity have always been our greatest strengths. A stroke of the pen doesn’t change that. PS. English-only ideologies are grounded in xenophobia.

I truly believe that #duallanguage has the potential to make the world a better place. I hope this video of 4 and 5 year-olds loving themselves fully, inspires you. PS. If you oppose DEI, this is what you oppose. @duallanguage #C6BiliteracyFramework

This is our new reality in U.S. classrooms. Educators charged to protect and serve culturally and linguistically diverse student communities are asking for their deportation.

WTF?!?! So causing irreparable trauma to ALL students, undocumented or not, is okay? Got it. I guess bringing down the price of groceries takes a backseat.

Doña Carmen, por más de dos décadas fue mi honor contar con su amistad y apoyo. Gracias por abrir su corazón a mi familia. Para Tony y para mí, el que nuestras familias se unieran a nuestro lado, fue lo más importante. La familia Medina la quiere, hoy y por siempre. 🙏🏽💙

La RAE is a tool. It does not dictate the #Spanish language - it reflects its changes as people use #español to communicate. #Spanglish #Translanguaging
