I know- Eu sei

Coisas da SIL

Eu sei
Que tenho muito que aprender.

Eu sei
Que tenho que me conter.

Eu sei
Que nem tudo que parece é.

Eu sei
Que a vida é uma jornada.

Eu sei
Que o que vejo pode até me fazer crer.
Pois a vida é pra lutar, viver e correr.

Eu sei… por isso eu quero falar, cantar e amar.
Coisas da SiL

I know

I know
That I have a lot to learn.

I know
That I have to contain myself.

I know
That not everything is as it seems.

I know
That life is a journey.

I know
That what I see can even make me believe.
Because life is for fighting, living and running.

I know… that’s why I want to talk, sing and love.

My View: There Are Not “Two Sides” on Ukraine

Diane Ravitch's blog

As regular readers know, I have received and posted several comments complaining that I don’t write posts showing “both sides” or “different sides” on Ukraine. They disapprove of my support for Ukraine and my criticism of Putin.

Neela Chakravartula, Managing Attorney at the Center for Gender & Refugee Studies (CGRS):   Since its inception, Title 42 has been as illegal as it is cruel. Earlier this month, an appeals court handed down a decision in our class action lawsuit which affirmed what we know to be true: Expelling asylum seekers to places where they face persecution or torture violates our laws and treaty obligations. The Biden administration knows this. The administration also knows that every day Title 42 remains intact, Black and brown families, children, and adults are placed in harm’s way. Two years of Title 42 is two years too long. It is beyond time for the Biden administration to end its racist Title 42 policy, restart asylum at the border, and welcome all people seeking safety with dignity.”
