Shannan Lenke and I have an op-ed out about the historic declinein enforcement at the EPA under Trump - check it out!

Pollution laws like the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act only work if they’re being enforced. In 2025, EPA investigations of and cases against polluters reached historic lows. A new EDGI report analyzes the agency’s record so far under this Trump administration. envirodatagov.org/publication/...

I wrote about the 1941 novel, The Bitter Roots, for the @thepulp.org. It has recently been reissued by @bhousepress.bsky.social. It's a fascinating book that explores masculinity in the context of WWI and class/labor conflict in the American west (Missoula, MT). thepulp.org/the-bitter-r...
