Happy #BookBDay, @daisyhernandez!✨ The 10th-anniversary edition of her memoir, A CUP OF WATER UNDER MY BED, is here with a new preface! As Sandra Cisneros put it, she “writes with honesty, intelligence, tenderness, and love.” #LatinxHeritageMonth beacon.org/A-Cup-of-Water…

Reporters are being briefed, it seems, that the DNC accepted Dem state Rep @Ruwa4Georgia as a Palestinian speaker for tonight on the stage but @uncommittedmvmt turned her down. That is simply not true. It’s a lie. Being told, I assume, by DNC spinners now on the defensive. Uncommitted are the ones who pitched her! And there’s still time for the @DNC to put @Ruwa4Georgia on stage tonight for two mins. If they have time and space for a former Republican congressman, and for Israeli family members of a hostage, they have time and space for an elected Palestinian Democratic lawmaker. Anything else is straight up racism and erasure.

Kick off the academic year with the University Welcome and Fall Convocation. This event will feature Daisy Hernández, who will discuss her book The Kissing Bug: A True Story of a Family, an Insect, and a Nation’s Neglect of a Deadly Disease case.edu/events/feature…
