You want to know why some of y’all get side-eyed?! We are standing at the edge of the greatest rollback of Black voting and political power in over 150 years. Not abstract. Not theoretical. Real. Black representation across the South is on the chopping block.

This isn’t an accident. Recreation was once given equal weight alongside energy extraction in public lands management. The Trump administration has quietly erased that. Drill, baby, drill even if it means bulldozing a trail that took decades to build and belongs to all of us.

This is exactly why we need every major outlet to hire dedicated repro reporters - and why I publish Abortion, Every Day. We are *fucked* if our gov't can label IUDs and the pill "abortion" and the nation's biggest papers don't think that's worth writing about

I’ve been a journalist for 27 years. I’ve reported major stories about mass surveillance, torture, war, the military-industrial complex, police black sites, etc. But this is the most important story I’ve ever had the horror/honor to work on. For it is a story about the current phase of a genocide.

A banner of two masculine characters leaning up against a birch tree. The one on the left is an Indigenous man wearing a vest covered in beadwork, and the one on the right has paler skin and orange hair, wearing a blue shirt with tassels on the chest. Both have soft expressions as they hold hands. Gold decorations frame the corners of the image, and the text "We've Always Been Here" takes over the right side in flowy, mock-gold text. A small note in the corner also reads, "Work in Progress Image."
