It’s long past time to retire the myth that Sinema has some grand master plan here. This is pure political malpractice. Selling your vote to the highest bidder while opposing popular policies and torching your personal networks is not how you craft a successful indie identity.

It's not too late to register for my (free, online) talk tomorrow at 1:30pm ET, on the topic of "Disability and Ableism in Archaeology"!

Bioarchaeology of poorhouse cemeteries often assumes those buried there were lifelong poor. The Dutchess Co cemetery shows how many working class people ended up there due to poor health in their final months of life. Paper now available on @ResearchGate https://t.co/n5QiIzUv0e

like we ~knew~ but now we KNOW

[Dr. Michael Rivera 趙凱聰 @riveramichael]

What this year calls for is clear. #Academia mustn’t ignore #racism, or the history of our fields.

Talking about being “100% objective” in discussions about anti-racist praxis and advocacy (whatever our line of work) is white supremacy on full display. ⤵️

Despicable, @The_AAFS.

[FAB Lab at BU @FabLabBU]

Disheartened (again) that the VP of @The_AAFS said that antiracism is activism and there is no room for activism in forensic anthropology because we need to be 100% objective. She contends we should re-evaluate if the field is right for us, encouraged activists to leave field.

[Sarah Hall @isarahhall]

very disappointing

[FAB Lab at BU @FabLabBU]

Very disheartened that during the once yearly 3-hour Anthropology business meeting @The_AAFS yesterday, all DEI discussions were tabled, DEI suggestions shot down, and the dismantled Anthro D&I Committee's efforts were again disparaged. Sadly, it feels that the org has regressed

The Tohono O’odham Nation, and Pascua Yaqui & Hopi Tribes went to court to halt a mile-wide open pit copper mine – and won! The Rosemont copper mine is stalled in its tracks. https://t.co/x8oRl4S0Ju

I mean, that’s great, but it’s exhausting that “the party of Christianity” is seemingly unable to be compassionate about situations they haven’t directly experienced

The Resolution Copper Mine proposal for Oak Flat is predicted to be a likely environmental disaster & will destroy indigenous heritage sites.

This is federal land - anyone can write to their legislators about this issue.

With a lot of talk about Native voting in Arizona. I thought I would share 2 maps. The left is a map showcasing all 22 tribes in the state. The right an updated 2020 voting results maps by precinct. This give you an idea of how Indigenous communities voted in the 2020 election.
