this Transactions piece had been in the slow cooker for many years I'm so glad that it's out!

We feed you. They hunt us.

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening historians: that thing is definitely happening star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it news outlets: these protesters are out of control

"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...

This workshop is today! Don’t miss it. Support grassroots mutual aid networks on the ground.

if you set the distribution of harms from pollution (e.g. cancer and asthma rates) next to the distribution of benefits from economic cooperation (e.g. income/wealth gaps) then the narrative that environmentalism is for the rich is the thing we should find surprising!

A new paper by my wonderful colleague Joanna Allan and her co-author Moiti Mohamed Azrouk, "Poetry, citizenship and diplomacy: The case of Western Sahara," looks fascinating! rgs-ibg.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

🧪 National Science Foundation update alert ⚠️⚠️ NSF just made a **lot** of updates to its "priorities" page. It's mixed news. Some good. Some bad. ❌ Not welcome: NSF is now also terminating "environmental justice" awards. The highlighted text here is new: www.nsf.gov/updates-on-p... 1/8... 🧵

Me: I love teaching! Also me, preparing my classes:

White people enacting violence after violence instead of grappling in earnest w history & how how it shapes us. Also frustrating as a teacher because many white students absolutely are capable of growth if you hold them to that standard. There’s a reason white supremacists find these bans so urgent.

This statistic blew my mind

they are literal segregationists apnews.com/article/scho...

Come join us ♥️🇵🇸

Horrified by this. Reverent Barber is the closest to MLK this movement has - he emanates goodness and loving kindness. His care for all of humanity is the biggest threat they face.

My PhD student's NSF grant was terminated today. Her dissertation investigates why air pollution monitoring, metrics, and regulations don't properly capture the harms experienced by marginalized communities--esp in the most polluted Detroit neighborhoods. She and I are happy to talk with press etc.

If you lived in a world that actively cut your life short because of who you are, would you not also be pissed

feels like "maximize your appeal to the middle" is a strange lesson to learn from the Trump years in particular

I don’t think we’re going to “know your rights” our way out of this one.

I didn't have space to get into it much in my piece, but there is a Catholic version of the political work done by "the sin of empathy" and it's "ordo amoris" – a concept embraced by JD Vance to justify privileging his family and fellow citizens over strangers

Happy first day of #AAG2025 to all who celebrate ♥️ come join Geog4pal.org to learn more about our campaign and how you can be in solidarity with the people of Palestine ❤️‍🔥🇵🇸

At the risk of it seeming like I joined Bluesky just to share this, I’m excited to announce that my paper is now published in the Journal of Historical Geography. "Coal, state, and society: Resource-making and state formation in early republican Turkey" doi.org/10.1016/j.jh...

So happy to be part of this!
