Pollution laws like the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act only work if they’re being enforced. In 2025, EPA investigations of and cases against polluters reached historic lows. A new EDGI report analyzes the agency’s record so far under this Trump administration. envirodatagov.org/publication/...

EDGI member @leiffredrickson.bsky.social tells AP, “You can effectively do a lot of deregulation if you just don’t do enforcement.” apnews.com/article/epa-...

"From the base up"

Poet and novelist Norman Macleod's THE BITTER ROOTS came out in 1941. And then it was promptly forgotten—until its rediscovery by @neglectedbooks.com. @leiffredrickson.bsky.social has a terrific essay on what the novel says about Missoula and masculinity in the WWI era. thepulp.org/the-bitter-r...

I wrote about the 1941 novel, The Bitter Roots, for the @thepulp.org. It has recently been reissued by @bhousepress.bsky.social. It's a fascinating book that explores masculinity in the context of WWI and class/labor conflict in the American west (Missoula, MT). thepulp.org/the-bitter-r...

This picture, by ChatGPT, is called "Hellscape Created by the Lack of Local News." But guess what ChatGPT cannot do? Local news - which is why I'm fundraising for The Pulp for Missoula Gives. Please send a little (or a lot!) of money their way if you can! www.missoulagives.org/p2p/426778/l...
