"In your view, and that of Pres. Tr**p, more than half the environmental efforts of the EPA, to make sure Americans have clean air and clean water, are just a waste." What a legacy!

In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows:
An immigration or administrative warrant is *not* a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...

InSEA Publications Queering Art Education: Content, Pedagogy, and Advocacy Editors: Courtnie N. Wolfgang and Kevin Hsieh Section I - Content: Chapter proposals for this section of the book explore how art + design are outlets for self-expression; finding a sense of belonging; resistance; and constructing new cultures related to gender and sexual identities. The focus on this section will be how artists challenge societal and inequitable norms, as well as how queering art + design content encourages empathy and promotes justice in art + design classrooms. Section II - Pedagogy: This section will feature pedagogical strategies for queering art + design education: strategies for the k12 classrooms, museum settings, + community spaces, as well as other sites for teaching + learning. We encourage practice-oriented proposals in the form of teaching strategies and lesson plans (teaching strategies that authors use in their own teaching that encourage learners to create their own understandings of what it meant as queerness) as well as research + theory-oriented proposals that investigate the broad implications of queering pedagogical practice. Section III - Advocacy: This section will feature chapters offering frameworks, policy, or strategies that advocate for LGBTQ+ inclusion, representation, + rights in classrooms, school systems, communities, histories, and futures; global perspectives framing the ongoing civil rights challenges for LGBTQ+ students and teachers; advocacy for LGBTQ+ visibility in art + design curricula; and addressing the need for accessible spaces where students can participate in arts + design learning without fear of discrimination, erasure, or violence. 300 word proposals due Sept 30, 2025 Use the QR code to submit your proposal https://forms.gle/5iHU443531uHDJKi9 for more info: cwolfgan@risd.edu
My colleague Kevin and I are co-editing a book (open access) on Queering Art Education: Content, Pedagogy, + Advocacy. Accepting 300 word proposals now through Sept. 30.

Judge Xinis in Tuesday eve order homes in on key issue:
"Abrego Garcia appears to remain inexplicably detained in CECOT."
She cites text in written agreement with El Salvador showing US control: That detainees are kept in CECOT “pending the United States’ decision on their long-term disposition.”
"Officials with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security — which includes Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection — have not provided a justification for Schmidt’s detainment."
Fabian Schmidt remains at the Wyatt Detention Center in Central Falls, R.I.
That's what I'm talkin about
