@alleenbrown.bsky.socialAn American environmental defender was murdered in the Philippines this year and hardly anyone talked about it. Great piece by @alessandrabergamin.bsky.social that also delves into the specific dangers LGBTQ+ activists face.

@nwu.orgReposted by @alleenbrown.bsky.social“Since 2020, the average reported pay rate has hovered around $1/word, and stagnant wages mean that freelance writers are functionally making less money now than they were 26 years ago.” So what do we do? We organize.
@alleenbrown.bsky.socialThis was for @drilledmedia.bsky.social's new weekly show The Spill! New episodes out every Friday wherever ya get podcasts lnk.to/TheSpill
@alleenbrown.bsky.socialI am emerging from the black hole of moving. So plz expect posts about things I published 2 weeks to 1.5 months ago. My work is eternally relevant anyway 💅
@alleenbrown.bsky.socialWhy the hell was a climate organization investigated by the Trump administration for its involvement in the anti ICE protests in Minneapolis? I interviewed @aru-shiney-ajay.bsky.social from @sunrisemvmt.bsky.social to find out.
@alleenbrown.bsky.socialIn 2000 the National Writers Union @nwu.org pushed for $1/word for freelance journalists. If it'd worked out, we'd be making $2/word today. But that's not what happened.

@alleenbrown.bsky.socialWild. The Minnesota Star Tribune's old printing press is being redeveloped as an AI data center. The message is not subtle.
@alleenbrown.bsky.socialThe criminalization of activism is not always as simple as an arrest at a protest.
I obtained video footage that shows what really happened when a cop accused Nick Tilsen of attempting to run him over. 1/

@alleenbrown.bsky.socialNow that Atlanta's Cop City is built, it's rare to see in-depth reporting on the impact it's actually having. Nice work by @adamlmahoney.bsky.social + Madeline Thigpen
@alleenbrown.bsky.socialHad a great time chatting with @yessfun.com about why environmental journalists should be covering crackdowns on protest.
