I hate this for Dr Madison and for those poor kids. The LGBTQ immigrants community is being supportive of her and some others who have come here either under very difficult circumstances, or who had their circumstances become difficult.

I had already emailed this school inquiring for my youngest when this happened. They responded to me after, and I replied about Dr Madison's firing and explained the school wouldn't be safe for my child so I don't need further information. She was understanding.

A Banned Children’s Book Author Fled the United States for Uruguay. American Parents Had Her Fired After a Week. Dr. Megan Pamela Ruth Madison relocated to Uruguay seeking freedom from censorship only to face backlash again over her inclusive books.

A fellow US-American emigrant couldn't escape American censorship here in Uruguay. When this happened to her, the rest of us found out about it quickly. pen.org/megan-pamela... #leavingtheus

Why I Reject the Word “Expat” Like it or not, “expats” have come to be associated with seriously negative traits, including environmental destruction

"Expat" has evolved to something cringe.

Trendy.

Fashionable.

Breezy and easy and flip.

Not only isn't it reflective of most immigrant experiences (for those who really go through the bureaucratic gauntlet of legal residency), it's basically a marker for a privileged origin.

Elizabeth Silleck La Rue, Esq. (@elizabethsillecklarueesq) One of the reasons I invited @Chris Musei-Sequeira, PMP to speak this week is that he already gets it. Not surprising, considering his work is about moving beyond colonialism. Words do mean things, ...

Words matter.

We are not "expats."

We are emigrants from the US, and immigrants to Mexico.

With inequities abounding between most US citizens and most people in Mexico, holding ourselves apart is just perpetuating an elite identity.

There are, unfortunately, many unknowns. Our best bet is to pay attention to verifiable facts, and be ready to adapt as necessary. ❤️

There's so much unknown. We are counting on the outcome of the Orr case and if that goes sideways, then hopefully it only applies to passports going forward. Failing that, administrative ineptitude will have to save us.

With the Orr case looming and just the general tenor of gender policing in the US now, it has been tricky thinking about how, if we ever needed to go back to the US, we would be best prepared for such a thing. Much thanks to @esillecklarue.bsky.social for talking us through our options.

Her trip to Ireland was ruined by this one question?? Gee, I wonder why…

People who didn't vote for this train wreck are quick to say it. She obviously did vote for 47. If she thinks this will be the worst encounter, as they say "bless her heart." MAGA is destroying international relations.

Why We Have No Plans to Leave Mexico, Despite Media Fearmongering As with everything, we made a reasoned assessment, reinforced by intuitive intelligence
