Please, please stop using the words “nuance” & “problematic” in your papers, they are pompous straw-person terms that avoid actually saying or arguing what matters.

Part 1 in a three parter for all the language nerds out there. Language, by its nature, is always changing. But how do institutions of power affect these changes, promoting some and blocking others?
How do we get strategic about language?

A man scales an American C-130 with a hatchet and puts it out of commission, even if for a short while.
People are reminding themselves that anti-militerism, the opposition to ongoing genocides, and wars of aggression are best presented as actions not sentiment.
Both JD Vance and Vladimir Putin are doing their best to prop up Viktor Orbán ahead of the Hungarian elections.
Its no exaggeration to say that these three regimes represent a worldwide fascist alliance.

Stanford Jasper Ridge Biologica 'Ootchamin 'Ooyak SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES AND SCIENCES NEW DATE! Dr. Dustin Mulvaney Professor School of Planning, Policy, and Environmental Studies San José State University Tuesday, May 5, 2026 3:30 - 4 PM: Reception 4 - 5 PM: Lecture & Q&A Sun Field Station Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve ('Ootchamin 'Ooyakma) The Big Fire in the Big Basin: The long history and short memory of wildfire in the Santa Cruz Mountains This talk examines the post-colonial wildfire history of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Spanish dispossession disrupted Indigenous fire regimes, while landscape-scale changes driven by deforestation during American occupation set in motion an active period of wildfire across the region in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. These fires spurred efforts to protect the region's redwood forests through the formation of the Sempervirens Fund and the founding of Big Basin State Park, but they also helped entrench practices of wildfire suppression. Large wildfires were common from the late 1800s through the 1920s. Subsequent efforts by labor camps and the Civilian Conservation Corps to build fire towers and fuel breaks coincided with a period of relatively low fire activity that lasted until 1948, when Santa Cruz County experienced its largest wildfire until the CZU Lightning Complex of 2020. A civil grand jury later described the CZU fire as the most significant in county history, implying the greatest extent on record. The historical analysis presented here, however, identifies several post-colonial fires that exceeded the CZU Lightning Complex in size and argues that this longer fire history was forgotten because generations passed between major fires in the county.

getting cancelled for bringing chilli to the neighbors finally makes sense
This infiltration & surveillance of Dene leaders in the 70s is shocking but not surprising. In our book, we highlight the role of the Dene Nation (then Indian Brotherhood) in fighting pollution of Yellowknife by Giant Mine arsenic emissions in this same period.

Both the payout to Total to cancel wind farms and the threats against the EU over LNG have to be understood as clear signs the US has lost the war of transition.

In less than two weeks, the US government has already spent more money bombarding Iran than it will contribute to cancer research this entire year.
Probably *a great deal* more money.
They would rather let you die, so long as you fear them while you are living.

NEW EPISODE 🚨in Outlaw’s first ep. with “It Could Happen Here”, we talk with people detained for responding to ICE in Minneapolis. These conversations offer concrete insight into how federal agencies are responding to anti-ICE activity in the Twin Cities, and the impact that has on people's lives.
I wish I had a stable position & family, so I could justify my negligence & dropping extra work in my colleagues. 😝
My latest Eco Files newsletter: Pennington County is bent on keeping key video evidence out of the public in their case claiming the CEO of the nonprofit NDN Collective, Nick Tilsen, assaulted a police officer with his car. This story reminds me of Renée Good.
