Monsters. Irredeemable. Unreformable.

There is no technical or administrative fix for this, this is not a matter of training. This isn’t about policy at all.

As a matter of democratic self-defense, ICE must not be tolerated.
ICE detain yet another minor child—chase him down his own street and tackle him to pavement.

"I am legal! I am legal!" he cries over and over in Spanish.

Agent pins the boy down in snow—he desperately tries to keep his exposed hands from freezing at -25°F wind chill temperature.

Happiest of book birthdays to @pippinmathur.bsky.social and DINOSAUR DAYS!

Dinosaurs don't always know how to behave, but they certainly have a lot of fun. Join a #dinosaur as she romps through her day, wreaking havoc in this joyful celebration of childhood. #dinosaurs #picturebook

I was the visiting author for the Young Authors celebration in the Shenandoah Valley.

For 4 days, I gave presentations and talked to students, teachers, reading specialists and librarians about books, writing and art.

It was an amazing, inspiring & uplifting experience. #schoolvisitsarethebest
