Marrying a U.S. citizen does NOT automatically grant a green card. 1.5 million US citizens are married to an undocumented spouse who cannot adjust their status because there is NO way to do it.
This puts all their family members in emotional limbo.

New research reveals the profound impact on mixed-status families—where at least one family member lacks legal immigration status. 🧵

Marrying a U.S. citizen does NOT automatically grant a green card. These families face deportation threats that fundamentally reshape how they live, parent, and cope.

Thanks to the 1st author, Kateryna Krakhmalova for expanding our theoretical foundations to account for the full-scale war experiences of Ukrainians (which we could not foresee upon desinging the project in 2020), and Nina Boichenko who contributed to the analysis, both at @cmr-warsaw.bsky.social

Most Americans want childcare to be more cheaper and more accessible. They don’t care about birth rates.

None of the various pronatalist efforts under consideration by this administration will improve our childcare infrastructure & make it more affordable. apnews.com/article/pron...

Figure showing that Americans are more concerned about the cost of raising and caring for a child than the number of babies being born

This is an important PSA from Dr. Beachgem, who is a pediatric emergency physician

I love that she talks about drownings that are fatal and non-fatal, and mentions that many drownings happen with multiple adults present

Brutal attack at our university this week www.bbc.com/news/article...

Such things almost never happen in Poland. The attacker is a 22 years old Polish law student, known to follow far right parties and organisations on social media.
