This is one of my articles that I'm most proud of — it's from 2023, so it's a treat to see @thebuckeyeflame.com give it some new life and new readership!

Are you or a loved one on a fixed income and struggling with gas prices? Want to talk to a journalist about it? DM or email sluterman a 19thnews dot org.

I am super fortunate to work at a place that is letting me take a personal leave for three months. But that doesn't mean the work stops. We are hiring a climate reporter to fill in while i'm out! Apps close April 15th!

Trapped and alone: Fear of ICE is deepening postpartum isolation for immigrant mothers 19thnews.org/2026/03/ice-... via @19thnews.org

Since coming to Congress, I’ve worked hard to channel my passion for organic farming into common-sense policies that support farmers, hold corporations accountable, and ensure that every family has access to nutritious food. These ideals are in natural alignment with the emerging "MAHA" movement.

I wrote about Democratic Rep. Chellie Pingree, and her ability to secure progressive victories by working together with MAHA. 19thnews.org/2026/03/chel...

Really incredible reporting and piece of service journalism from my colleague @candicenorwood.bsky.social.

The Epstein files document what many women researchers have long experienced but rarely seen laid bare so starkly: exclusion operating behind closed doors, shaping who gets funded, invited, mentored, and taken seriously. How many of these networks, norms, and gatekeepers remain in place?

I wrote about the Epstein files and what they tell us about men in academia. In a field where climbing the career ladder is only possible through a combination of luck, mentorship and networking — the files show the ways sexism and misogyny still hold women back. 19thnews.org/2026/02/epst...

Women's voices have been curiously absent from the media coverage of the Epstein files. Kudos to @jkutzie.bsky.social for publishing this excellent piece. If you consider yourself to be an ally please take a moment to consider the impact of the ecosystem created by men at the top.

Proud to have been interviewed for this piece! I reflected on myself as a young scientist and now the responsibility of mentoring the next generation of scientists: all we have ever wanted is for our ideas, creativity, and talent to be taken seriously.

The Trump administration is revoking the endangerment finding today which allowed the EPA to regulate fossil fuels under the Clean Air Act. I wrote about who is impacted the most by these decisions 19thnews.org/2026/02/epa-...

NEW: I spent hours combing through the references to #MeToo in the latest tranche of Epstein files. I found Epstein closely tracked the fallout of #MeToo, joked about being in a "pariahs club," and advised men accused of misconduct behind the scenes 19thnews.org/2026/02/jeff...

“We needed time to be childfree so we could work. We needed to be bringing money in so we could have our house back in order,” Crabtree, who works as a therapist, said. “The limited child care was really making it challenging. It was limiting my ability to see clients.” @jkutzie.bsky.social reports.

Climate-fueled disasters like the LA wildfires and Hurricane Helene decimate infrastructure, that includes child care. So one woman did something about it. Silke Knebel started a crisis line to connect families with FREE child care, so parents can focus on recovery. 19thnews.org/2026/01/free...

Margery said she can’t help but think about one of her favorite musicals, 'Fiddler on the Roof.' In her present-day reimagining, Springfield is Anatevka, Haitians are the persecuted people and the United States is the country they must consider leaving to find safety. 19thnews.org/2026/01/moth...

A mother shoved to the ground in front of her children at an immigration courthouse. A woman pulled from her car and handcuffed on a busy street. A child care worker dragged out of her workplace. A pregnant woman yanked by one arm through snowy streets. 19thnews.org/2026/01/ice-...

I need emergency preparedness people to grapple w/ the reality of our Rx drug system, where “having extra on hand” is damn near impossible w/ most insurance plans. I have ONE allergy pill left & am only able to pick up my Rx today, due to insurance (can’t reorder early!) and pharmacy supply chain.

The Center for Biological Diversity released a new report finding that most state emergency preparedness checklists fail to include basic sexual and reproductive health supplies. Advocates and mutual aid groups are filling in the gaps. 19thnews.org/2025/12/wild...

Two weeks after giving birth via C-SECTION, Nayra Guzmán was detained while her baby was in the NICU. In detention she was never given a breast pump and stopped being able to produce milk. 19thnews.org/2025/12/post...

The 20-year-old welder’s killing by her coworker has prompted women in trades across the country to speak out about the harassment they face and the protections they need.

Last week, 20-year-old Amber Czech was murdered by a coworker who told law enforcement he simply did not like her. This happened during a year where the Trump administration cancelled grants to address gender-based violence in the workplace. 19thnews.org/2025/11/ambe...

Two years ago, the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration approached the Lac Du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, and the original caretakers of the land, with an unheard of proposition: Would they like a piece of their land back? 19thnews.org/2025/11/cath...

“This return represents more than the restoration of land — it is the restoration of balance, dignity, and our sacred connection to the places our ancestors once walked." @jkutzie.bsky.social reports for @19thnews.org.

Remarkable story about, among other things, a highly successful political education project

In Arizona, where this story is based, data centers are driving up electricity demand and infrastructure costs. For a state where many Americans go to retire, the once affordable retirement communities are beholden to the rising rates on their electric bills.

Electricity prices are rising everywhere, with some experts referring to them as the "new eggs" in the cost of living crisis. For older people on fixed incomes, it's yet another strain on their finances. Women in particular are worried. 19thnews.org/2025/11/olde...

Doulas are being seen as an important piece to the maternal health puzzle, particularly for Black women, who have higher maternal mortality rates. In Florida, they are also being trained to better prepare patients for the climate crisis. Enter the climate doula: 19thnews.org/2025/10/doul...

Doulas are crafting a climate disaster blueprint for pregnant people 19thnews.org/2025/10/doul... via @19thnews.org @jkutzie.bsky.social

In recent years, research has illuminated the ways that climate change is threatening pregnancies. Now, a new pilot program is teaching doulas the skills they need to help their patients understand the growing risks and provide them the tools they need to adapt. 19thnews.org/2025/10/doul...

ICE has recently targeted patients in hospital maternity wards and on their way home from prenatal visits. As a result, many patients are skipping virtually all of their pregnancy-related health care. ~250k babies are born every year to immigrations w/o permanent status. 19thnews.org/2025/10/preg...

This is a great read by @zteirstein.bsky.social. Living in Arizona, Valley Fever is scary! This piece breaks down the threat perfectly, how climate is turbocharging it, and the challenges to protect the public under an administration attacking public health. grist.org/health/valle...
