Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Some good news! A federal judge struck down Florida's book ban law (HB 1069) as unconstitutional, ruling it violated First Amendment protections for school libraries. The victory protects authors' rights and students' access to diverse literature.

But Trump threatened to withdraw endorsement of anyone who voted against bill defunding public broadcasting. So she voted for it.

Best Twitter riposte of the day.
Rep Hortman and I were classmates at the Kennedy School and graduated together in 2018.
It took me a moment to realize the person who I remember as deeply service driven and incredibly bright was the victim of last night’s heinous act.
She was a bright light and made us all better.
