Cool article about the Native American activism, much of it in the Pacific Northwest, that led to the Boldt decision. It centered on fishing rights, but the ruling was the first (in a minute) to respect the rights given to Native Americans by treaty. (1/6) ($ site) www.nybooks.com/articles/202...

Is Philly actually obsessed with a fictional movie character from five decades ago (Rocky), or do our local tourism companies just keep pushing this? I think it’s time we retire the Rocky narrative!

Our work is featured in today’s research news from @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social: “A new study highlights major educational gaps among environmental professionals regarding Indigenous peoples, and shows how those gaps can impact real-world decisions.” esa.org/blog/2025/12... #GeoSky #OpenAccess

A W. Philly apartment building was destroyed in a suspected arson right after its tenants were evicted and the building sold to shell company. What is this, the ‘70s? Great reporting by Ryan Briggs and William Bender. www.inquirer.com/news/phil-pu...

After 404 Media's months-long reporting and pressure from lawmakers, the data broker owned by the U.S.’s major airlines will now shut down a program in which it sold access to hundreds of millions of flight records to the government and let agencies track peoples’ movements without a warrant.

The 1975 Boldt decision changed the world -- or fixed it, to some extent -- and its power reverberates today.

Got to write about 2 books that examine indigenous sovereignty: Ryan Emanuel's ON THE SWAMP & the late Charles Wilkinson's TREATY JUSTICE.

Rufus Wainright sings the Canadian national anthem (in French and English) at Dodgers Stadium in the World Series. He slips in « that only us command » as a statement! Good on you Rufus.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them. By @nicolefoy.bsky.social

The federal government has censored the work of dozens of scientists, including work by my lab, on the impacts of climate change on Acadia National Park. Signs have been removed from Cadillac and Great Meadow. They’re also removing signs about the Wabanaki’s sacred connections to Cadillac.

Great piece: “We work in dangerous settings. We climb bridges every day. My brother to the left and my brother to the right, they are my life. I depend on them. You take away my brother, you put my life at risk.” @phillyaflcio.bsky.social
