The Klamath River runs through the heart of Yurok life. For decades, the community fought to free it — and in 2024, they won.

I spoke with Yurok Tribal attorney Amy Bowers Cordalis about what it means to restore a river, a people, and a way of life in my latest conversation for @thenation.com.

In my latest conversation for @thenation.com, I chat with Nick Tilsen of @ndncollective.bsky.social about Indigenous sovereignty, #LandBack, & the power of collective organizing.

Nick's fight is deeply connected to the struggle for Palestinian freedom: rooted in resistance to occupation & erasure.

ICE criminalizes survival.

In my latest conversation for @thenation.com, #BlackLivesMatter co-founder Patrisse Cullors unpacks the science behind movements — and why the fight for abolition is inseparable from the fight for a livable planet.

In a system that oftentimes rewards polluters, seeking justice is left to the communities being poisoned.

The climate crisis isn’t just about carbon.
It’s about democracy, power, and whose lives are treated as expendable

The Climate Movement Has Blind Spots. We’re Here to Expose Them.

The people most harmed by ecological violence are usually the least represented in the stories we consume about climate change. That’s why the podcast A People’s Climate exists.

@abc7news.bsky.social asked about climate blind spots. @shilpichhotray.bsky.social said the ‘A People’s Climate’ podcast “isn’t climate talk as usual”—it highlights environmental justice, inequities in climate systems, and links to racial justice solutions. slingshot.twdc.com/getfile.php?...

Grateful to @prismreports.org for the space to connect these fights, and for their fearless coverage of Gaza.

🏭 In Louisiana, telling the truth about air pollution could cost you $1 million.

@descendantsproject.bsky.social

Pollution is legal. Reporting it carries a million dollar fine.

At the heart of a new lawsuit against Louisiana: a battle over narrative, public health, and the right to tell the truth.

Western legacy outlets have downplayed 18 months of genocide, softened the language of ethnic cleansing, and censored those reporting the truth.

This isn’t just media bias. It’s narrative control.

I Don’t Trust Western Legacy Media. And Neither Should You.

Plus an explosive exposé on ICE from The Margin.

Cop City opened. But the resistance is far from over.
From Atlanta to Palestine, the logic is the same: surveillance, force, and control.

@stopcopcity.bsky.social @prismreports.org

Cop City opened. Environmental racism isn’t random. It’s designed.

And why Critical Race Theory should be part of every climate agenda.
