The group—including UAW auto workers, transit riders, Amazon delivery drivers, Indigenous and mining justice advocates, and community organizers—wrestled with one central question: What if the transition to clean transportation was driven by the demands of those fighting for justice?

@deanbaker13.bsky.social puts the numbers in striking context - The $5bn the Trump family gained in wealth since last year's election (doubling its fortunes) could be used to provide SNAP benefits to 2 million people for a full year.

Yes! Brilliant insight!

Writing Architectural History: Evidence and Narrative in the Twenty-First Century on JSTOR Over the past two decades, scholarship in architectural historyhas transformed, moving away from design studio pedagogy andpostmodern historicism to draw instea...

We architectural historians are expected to do this, so it's maybe a different calculus, but I wrote a book chapter that addresses site fantasies and visits, and the fantasies and fictions that are part of writing histories of place: doi.org/10.2307/j.ct...

Just a few days until this year’s deadline for Conserving Black Modernism. May be the last year of funding (unless you want to step up)! Due 3/14. More here: savingplaces.org/black-modern...

This is the NYC real estate investment playbook the president and his family are so familiar with: holding depressed assets until they are hot again. Only now he controls the timing of the depression, the level of pain, and the heat. Hope reporters will tune in...

Heartbroken for D.C. This senseless "cost-cutting" is a ruse to turn the entire city into a depressed asset, so that fired workers need to sell their houses at a low cost to "investors" - i.e. friends of the president. Once sold, gov't can be pumped back up to revalue the assets at a higher rate.

Congratulations, look forward to reading this!

Nice PhD position in architectural history, right here in Winterthur!
