🚨 EMERGENCY PRESS CONFERENCE

Columbia/Barnard faculty, Jewish community leaders, immigrant advocates, and rabbis are demanding the immediate release of Mahmoud Khalil from ICE custody.

We will not be silent or cower in the face of American Fascism. #FreeMahmoud

The US university sector is wealthy, powerful and rooted in every state. If administrations decide to act collectively, there’s a chance. If, instead, they opt to target their students in the hope of escaping punishment, they will destroy the whole enterprise

My newest article from my study of paleontology-in-action is out! Quite the moment to be thinking about violent white masculinity in the US.

Of course it was a “planned exhibit,” probably years in the making. The fires in CA were not an accident of nature, but the result of zoning and other policies, or lack of them.

Why is this what the NYTimes is teaching kids today?

This is not just about ecology. We all need to remember that the powerful are only powerful with lots and lots of supports.

Today’s NYTimes Kids Section (print only) is “Dinos Rule!” The centerpiece is “How Dinosaurs Took Over the World.” Why do they repeat the same old trope about dominance, not recognizing that those at the ecological apex are precariously positioned, depending on all those below (better, around) them?

This looks to be a great opportunity for junior scholars to increase diversity within environmental anthropology and allied fields.

Still trying to find an energy source to claim as not political.

While Milei enjoys his time in DC.

I just received my copy of "Kernels of Resistance." Looking forward to @lizagrandia.bsky.social's passionate account of resistance to corporate privatization during these dark times.

This isn’t just history. This kind of thing continues today.

“People have defined the human in relation to everything from apes and gods to aliens and zombies.” Yes! Monsters are different from beasts, which naturalizes people as it dehumanizes them.
