My work uplifts the strengths and contributions of immigrant-origin individuals. In this blog post, I describe how Latinx immigrant-origin tap leverage their identities to persist at community colleges and transfer to four-year institutions.

Opinion | Who will rebuild Los Angeles? Immigrants.

And many of them will be doing it under threat of family separation.

“The House passed a bill on Tuesday that would target undocumented immigrants charged with nonviolent crimes for deportation, an opening salvo from a Republican majority that has vowed to deliver on President-elect Donald J. Trump’s promised crackdown at the border.”

House Passes Bill to Deport Unauthorized Immigrants Charged With Minor Crimes

Forty-eight Democrats joined Republicans in supporting legislation that aims to deport more migrants charged with nonviolent crimes, a first salvo in a broader crackdown.

I’m seeing a lot of… interesting things on Bluesky about immigration. If you’ve reported on this long enough, it can start to feel like Groundhog Day—like with each administration, we’re starting over from scratch.

The State of Utah banned the words diversity, equity, and inclusion but not the work of representation, accessibility, and belonging. People need to stop acting like their hands are tied. Get a thesaurus. 🙄

I make a cameo in this new documentary by TNM & producer Kimberly Avalos, which explores the difficult decision faced by #DACA beneficiaries regarding whether to stay or leave. There are no straightforward choices, as they have been pushed into a set of options that are neither ideal nor desirable.

Dems already did this on immigration and got painted as open border communist globalists anyway. This simply does not work. Dems need to have a back bone and actually argue from their differences with conservatives rather than bending over and adopting conservative lite positions because of polls.

mattie lubchansky @mattielubchansky.com · Nov 17

growing chorus of “throw trans people to the wolves” from high profile libs is not shocking but it is certainly nerve-wracking lol

one of the podjons (i think the straight one) in reference to that NYT piece about how “special interests” like trans people and immigrants lost the dems the election: “Dems should resist any group or special interest that pressures them to take positions opposed by the electoral majority essential to win, whether that's big corporations, rich donors, nonprofits, whoever.
This isn't about blaming specific groups for defeat - it's about what's required to win.”

It’s mostly white people who talk about echo chambers. Maybe you need the internet to meet people with different ideas but the rest of us do not. We know what the “other side” thinks because we deal with it every day! Everywhere! We’re fine. Carry on. Happy Saturday!
