I quit PennLive.com today. They couldn't get to a place by July of 2020 to call out Nazis as Nazis. So I’m done. Holler if you want some words.

It's been HOT in New York, but for those looking for cooling assistance, you might be out of luck. Sharing my latest story for the New York Focus on how the structure of HEAP is letting down those in need.

I just want to highlight this awesome data reporting by Jessie Blaeser. Some folks I spoke with didn't agree that there was currently a shortage of electricians. Here are some of the numbers we found for California. What do you think? grist.org/energy/electri…

I've been at @Grist just three months and I've loved every minute. I'm proud to be part of the Grist Union — we've made great progress over the past few months, and are so close to securing a contract that will make this an even more supportive + inclusive place for workers ✊

Around the world, in the face of biodiversity loss and climate change, there are calls to expand protected areas like Quitobaquito Springs. However, as the health of the springs show, a designation doesn’t guarantee protection. grist.org/video/quitobaq…

Àñ:kó! End of year 🧵 of great stories off grist's #IndigenousAffairs desk. Some of our best work in 2023 covers protected areas, the "green transition", tribal jails, abandoned wells, PFAs and more. Here are just a few of the highlights.

Also, if you're a Investigative Reporters & Editors member, get the latest journal. Maria Parazo Rose has a feature on how we went about reporting on protected areas, that includes the ups, downs, wins, and failures we encountered as a team. ire.org/product/ire-jo…

Finally, a big shout out to Anita Hofschneider for her coverage of the Lāhainā fires. Within her first month at grist, the IA desk's newest reporter helped produce some of the best reporting in the country on the historic wildfires. Here's a sample: grist.org/wildfires/maui…

Our 18-monthslong investigation led by Tristan Ahtone, [email protected], Maria Parazo Rose, and Clayton Page Aldern finds that stolen Indigenous lands held for universities are used for fossil fuel production or mining. The schools are profiting in the billions. grist.org/project/equity…

At #NICAR24: Clayton Page Aldern and Maria Parazo Rose will discuss their latest investigation for grist. schedules.ire.org/nicar-2024/ind…

When I started environment/energy/climate reporting a decade or so ago I felt like I was often in a sea of male reporters. No more! Here we had 10 expert reporters presenting on their best work at the Floodlight @WeAreDrilled disinformation workshop at Society of Environmental Journalists (SEJ)
