Thanks to Historic Bostons for this thoughtful review of Stealing America! "This book, deeply informed by Indigenous knowledge-keeping and non-Indigenous archives, also makes us see the unfailing Indigenous fight for civil rights and recognition as sovereign people." historicbostons.org/read

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people? Does anyone work anymore?"
SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.
Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:
* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled
* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages
Amazing No Kings protest today in Providence -- so great to be with like minded folks here and millions more across the nation to march against racism and bigotry. We can do better than MAGA and the embarrassment that is Trumpism.
One week ago my daughter and I ran the Canyon de Chelly ultra marathon in Chinle, AZ. It was rainy, muddy, soggy, and just incredible all around. I made a little video that documented our experiences, including a few of the 50-60 water crossings over the 32.5 miles. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRaR...
Galleys! Very excited to receive these from @liveright.bsky.social, even if the official pub date is a long way off (April 28, 2026). Pre-order it now! a.co/d/4ZdEjXu
