When Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary made history by reaching the summit, a courier named Ten Tsewang Sherpa ran 200 miles to Kathmandu to deliver the news. He died a few weeks later. His story has never been told—until now.

Such a great book! What happens when this major indigenous religious carving gets moved from its local and embedded place to outside the Museo Nacional de Antropología in Mexico City? Issues we usually see in imperial art repatriation situations are seen here between the nation & the community.

The government has gone very far down a very dark road. This announcement of mass deportations while also seeking to gut rights protections is frightening. Meanwhile, the home secretary is openly using fascist rhetoric. We were quoted in the Guardian 👇

BREAKING: The federal government has filed a motion seeking to end asylum claims for the family of Liam Conejo Ramos, according to the lawyer representing the family.

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is 2 or 3 days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis. snyder.substack.com/p/ethnic-cle...

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.
