An important DNA database that has helped hundreds of families find their missing loved ones has vanished. Reporters @cetracey.bsky.social and Gabriel Schivone investigate what happened and also report on how NGOs could get it back, if it hasn't already been destroyed.

Had the pleasure of getting to interview @cetracey.bsky.social about her new book Salt Lakes: An Unnatural History.

www.theborderchronicle.com/the-dna-arch... Sharing this newly published investigation, coreported by me and a colleague. The DNA database crucial in migrant identification in the borderlands for years has itself gone missing. Co-published by @theborderchronicle.bsky.social and @highcountrynews.org

Reviewed @cetracey.bsky.social's debut SALT WATERS for @thebaffler.com. It's a fascinating book, one that pushes us to consider what a land ethic oriented around restoration — rather than conservation — might look like: thebaffler.com/latest/troub...

Though California’s Imperial Valley might offer the world’s highest sugar beet tonnages, a mixture of lower production costs, modernized processing plants, and federal sugar policies have pushed the crop toward the upper Midwest. Contributor @cetracey.bsky.social reports. ⬇️

I joined @danielrothberg.bsky.social for the first video edition of his newsletter, Invisible Waters—imo the best resource for staying up to date about what’s going on with water in the West—to talk about my forthcoming book, Salt Lakes: substack.com/@cetracey/no...

ICYMI: @cetracey.bsky.social on the origins of the Sanctuary Movement; Julian Aguon, on cancer clusters in Guam caused by U.S. nuclear tests; @shannonmattern.bsky.social on the organizing force of libraries to sustain public knowledge; and Belmont Freeman, on Trump's attack on federal architecture.

In the 1980s, in Tucson, activists and religious leaders joined forces to protect refugees at the U.S.-Mexico border. Their collaboration helped galvanize the Sanctuary Movement, a humanitarian immigrant defense project that pioneered new models of citizen resistance. From @cetracey.bsky.social:

Important piece by @cetracey.bsky.social and also a new translation of ejido (to me anyway) - "ranching collective", I like it www.theborderchronicle.com/p/mexico-say...

The state of Sonora is one of the border states hardest hit by drought. Now Claudia Sheinbaum's govt is proposing 3 new dams. A local farmer sums up local sentiment best: “There’s no water,” said Díaz-Caravantes. “What good are three empty dams?” A great new piece today by @cetracey.bsky.social 🦂

Review of dear @ambliopia.bsky.social’s not to be missed The Company — finally published in English! @cetracey.bsky.social does a great job threading Verónica Gerber Bicecci’s previous work, so if you’re new to her fabulous books, this is a good starting point.

"It is a meditation on mining and the damages of extraction, rendered through physical form, temporality, words, and images." @cetracey.bsky.social assesses the experimental book-art of Mexican author Verónica Gerber Bicecci. lareviewofbooks.org/article/form...

Thank you @cetracey.bsky.social for your generous review of «The Company»: lareviewofbooks.org/article/form... <3

For @theborderchronicle.bsky.social I wrote about how artists help us reframe the conflict between the US and Mexico over the waters of the Rio Grande/Río Bravo: www.theborderchronicle.com/p/how-artist...

In this week's Border Chronicle roundup we have some good news from @cetracey.bsky.social about a binational effort to save North America's birds. Then we got some Trump bad news (ah so much of it) about new militarized national defense areas on the border. A govt. source says CA and AZ are next. 🦂🤒

New article in PHG! In this essay I highlight the incredible work of queer theorists on critiquing systems of gender, sexuality, and race within our built environment. Next I argue for the epistemic potential of overlooked spaces, namely the borderland, to rethink how we build our world, literally.

New in The Border Chronicle 🦂🦅 in collaboration w/ @highcountrynews.org by @cetracey.bsky.social The grasslands of Sonora, Mexico, haven’t seen bird counts in 15 years. Now, ranchers and biologists are teaming up to assess, and protect, North America's avian diversity.

🪺🌾 For a special collaboration between @highcountrynews.org and @theborderchronicle.bsky.social, I wrote about @skyislandalliance.org’swork to monitor birds and restore grassland ecosystems in Sonora, Mexico 🌾🪺: www.theborderchronicle.com/p/searching-...
