Montana: The Magazine of Western History just published my take on the TV series, Yellowstone, and the way the shown comments on rural gentrification in the West, the legacy of settler colonialism, and contemporary American manhood and masculinity. #YellowstoneTV

Thrilled that Jason Newton's new book, Cutover Capitalism, is coming out soon. I had the privilege of serving on his PhD committee at SU. Environmental folks interested in labor, capitalism, and forest history will appreciate this book.

Hard to overstate the significance of this decision. In a world where problems are increasingly technical in nature, #SCOTUS dismisses the need for technical understanding.

Well, I guess this means I got to watch that Ron Howard J.D. Vance movie on Netflix. youtube.com/watch?v=KW_3aa…

An actual hero. This is what America First looks like when it’s a lived ethos, rather than a mask for narcissism and ambition.

In my recent essay on the TV series Yellowstone, I draw on the work of R. Reeves and C. Emba to show the ways the show highlights the plight of white, working class men and how the Y. Ranch forges wayward boys and manchilds into men. Richard V. Reeves Christine Emba

I literally – literally – don't know a single humanities professor, regardless of the kind of institution they teach at, who doesn't think students' reading abilities have fallen off a cliff. It's an emergency and in a sane world there would be Congressional hearings about this.

In honor of Columbia University capitulating to Trump, I give you this public service announcement from Winston Churchill. youtube.com/watch?v=_GvJRb…
