How and why police actually support the federal invasions—I have been working on this article for ~6 months, trying to make sense of Trump’s nationwide surge of DHS officers, how it has evolved, what brought us here, and what will remain after it ends.
I’m thankful to the University of Maryland, College Park for supporting and showcasing my work.

What a way to start Black History Month!! It was so cool to finally meet Dr. Beronda L. Montgomery in person and host her at UMD to discuss her book When Tree Testify. It was extra special that she cited my work in the book and included a whole slide in her presentation to explain why!
Thank you for sharing, Professor!
Last Friday, I gathered environmental justice educators from across the University of Maryland system for an EJ Pedagogy Workshop, where we shared syllabi, best practices, assignments, and thoughts on how we help students navigate climate and eco anxiety. It was an incredible experience!
One day will be the last that they commit an execution in the streets and we can and must bring that day closer however we can
The coming hours and days in Minneapolis are crucial. ICE killed a man and is violently repressing protestors. We will begin to interrupt the fascists decisively in the coming days or we will wake up to full arsenal unchecked state backed autocratic capitalism.
I’m preping to interview @berondam.bsky.social about her amazing new #BookSky release this week WHEN TREES TESTIFY and one of the points she makes is that enslavers kept better track of plants and animals than the enslaved people that they enslaved

Love this description with all my heart 😍😍😍
I recently got to reconnect & discuss When Trees Testify with one of my favorite people Maria Failla, host of the Growing Joy with Maria podcast.
I connected with plant and nature enthusiast Maria when my first book Lessons from Plants emerged. She's a gem!

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.

The toxic burden of waste treatment facilities and work has always been on Black, brown, and poor communities, which is one reason main why the environmental justice movement emerged from the civil rights movement, not US environmentalism.
On MLK Day, it’s important to remember why MLK Jr. was in Memphis when he was assassinated. He was there to support Black sanitation workers striking for better working conditions and higher wages. This, for me, a critical moment in the emergence of the environmental justice movement.
Thank you so much for the space and trust to craft this piece!!

Yikes! I didn't realize my ebook habit was costing @dcpubliclibrary.bsky.social so much money. It's a great benefit for DC residents.
