Antisemitism against Claudia Sheinbaum damages Mexico protests Protests over security in Mexico have featured antisemitic slurs and exclusive definitions of Mexican identity

I just published my latest "public philosophy" piece, "Antisemitism damages Mexico protests," in Salon. I explore antisemitism and sexism against President Claudia Sheinbaum in recent protests in Mexico, using Jean-Paul Sartre's "Anti-Semite and Jew" and Jewish feminist writings. Link below!

"The aim, therefore, of patriots, was to set limits to the power which the ruler should be suffered to exercise over the community; and this limitation was what they meant by liberty." - John Stuart Mill, On Liberty, 1859

In this interview, APA member @amyrs.bsky.social (UNLV) shares why her research and forthcoming book, “Intimate Borders, Feminist Migration Ethics,” are more timely and relevant than ever. www.unlv.edu/news/article...

Cover reveal for my forthcoming book Intimate Borders: Feminist Migration Ethics! It features a photo from the extraordinary photojournalist Guillermo Arias. I am grateful to him and to OUP for working with me to put this powerful image on my cover.

Claudia Sheinbaum just gave her first State of the Union address ("informe de la nación) which included references to immigration justice, education reform, poverty reduction, etc. A standout moment was when she referred to the Gulf of Mexico--and then repeated it for emphasis--inspiring applause.

Scholars of immigration, join us tomorrow!

Awesome short piece on dehumanization. It is very gratifying that philosophers are finally taking a serious interest in this phenomenon. 1000wordphilosophy.com/2025/08/10/d...

AMY REED-SANDOVAL | The Writer's Block An independent bookstore in downtown Las Vegas, offering free creative-writing classes to grades K–12.

Las Vegas friends- folks who may be in Las Vegas in Oct.: I will be doing a local launch of my forthcoming book Intimate Borders: Feminist Migration Ethics at the *lovely* Vegas independent bookstore The Writers Block on Thursday, October 9th from 7-8pm. www.thewritersblock.org/events/47666...

For your summer reading: In a new piece on the ethics of migration policy dilemmas, we explain why a 'myth busting' approach to migration policy is insufficient and sometimes misleading.
All contributions to this roundtable on "dilemmas" are linked below.

Thanks for reading my article, freedom. This piece isn't a comprehensive overview of Sheinbaum’s political career, but rather, a feminist analysis of how she is constantly "represented" in relation to powerful men.

Claudia Sheinbaum has a story to tell — and we need to listen Mexico's president is being defined in relation to powerful men. Allowing that to happen will be our loss

I published an article in Salon about Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum--and how international media can/should do a better job of representing her and her politics: www.salon.com/2025/07/15/c...

Hundreds of American rabbis have protested Netanyahu’s mass murder in Gaza but they rarely get any media attention. That also happened in February 2015 when more than 400 rabbis from Britain and around the world called on Benjamin Netanyahu to stop the demolition of Palestinian homes.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Will be writing in Mexico City for the next two weeks ❤️

this is the level of funding where all the possibilities for American politics that have been described as hyperbolic over the past decades - the comparisons to Nazi Germany and other nightmares of the 20th century - become logistically possible and politically likely

oh congrats!! I really look forward to reading this!

An important read by my UNLV colleague @robvato.bsky.social

When ICE agents look like this, it is ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE for state and local law enforcement to step in and demand they identify themselves and show judicial warrants before detaining anyone from an immigration court.

Democratic mayor and governors can take action on this.
