A crisis is a great moment to do stuff that should have been done long ago, specially when they make a lot of sense. What Corchado argues 4 is one such a thing. All workers deserve better than we r getting now. https://t.co/efL9iZ3ddY

The Gallup lockdown has been extended so @rosalesquique and I took a trip out that way to see what's up: Surreal checkpoints at all points of entry, very little traffic, families taking videos for grandmas who are locked out. Story w/ @theresa__davis https://t.co/YGDAJVlnun

@LABlair1492 @michaelreid52 I love this book and struggled to read it in Italian in 2018 while we were in Sicily. Well worth the effort!

Three members of a Shiprock family -- both parents and one son -- died from #COVID19 this month. Here is their story:

@LABlair1492 @BrenOBoyle Hmm...bit of a stretch, that. I hope you’re well in Paraguay, where the current middle-aged president was privileged growing up under the smiles of an old-style autocrat!

“Everyone thinks they know what causes crime.”

[Elise Kaplan @EliseKapNM]

Almost without fail when people hear I'm a criminal justice reporter they want to talk about what "causes" crime to be so high in our city. I usually end up giving a clumsier version of this article. The whole thing is worth a read. https://t.co/EFcTcRergl

[Bob Kaplan @RobertNKaplan]

@EliseKapNM ...and to whatever you make of it! Looking forward to it!

[Bob Kaplan @RobertNKaplan]

@ValeriaLuiselli Congrats for the shout-out! I hope it means he took on the book’s central message and that he feels some remorse for his part in the travesty that has only gotten worse...and even more repugnant. 😳

Please circulate widely with your networks. Rodrigo and Nathalia, who works with @IAFgrassroots grantee @fundacionnatura went missing on Friday, Dec 20. Time is of the essence.

“If #nationalparks are ‘America’s best idea,’ then building walls across them surely counts among our very worst. There is, quite simply, no way to safeguard borderland wilderness while building a wall across it.” https://t.co/kQbwS8OQMW
