Today marks five years since a 21 year Texas man, jacked up on anti-immigrant hate, drove several hours to a Wal-Mart in #ElPaso to massacre 23 people. Please remember their names today. people.com/crime/el-paso-mas…

If Texas is a test run for a second Trump term, it is taxpayer funded Big Brother on steroids.Japanese internment, the Red Scare, the “War on Drugs, and “War on Terror,” show these costly moral panics impair freedom for all. ⁦@CBSNews⁩ #immigration cbsnews.com/news/texas-faith…

In Mexico, the Chief Justice is a woman, the head of the Senate and House are women, and the head of the Federal Reserve are women. This is the product also of many women at the grassroots taking concerns about feminicidio and reproductive to the streets. Getting loud works!
Mexico’s governing party chose Claudia Sheinbaum as its candidate in next year’s presidential election on Wednesday, creating a watershed moment in the country, with voters expected to choose for the first time between two leading candidates who are women. nyti.ms/487FtRu

Like #JusticeThomas, I was a political appointee at the #EEOC. All travel invites went through our ethics office, I completed fully annual disclosures, and could not/would not accept even a cup of coffee from anyone with business before agency. Duh! propublica.org/article/clare…

Teachers, faculty, and student workers at @RutgersU have been fighting for nearly a year for a contract. As a proud Rutgers alum I stand with these 9,000+ workers in their fight for fair pay and better benefits. A fair deal helps all Scarlet Knights.
