For @theborderchronicle.bsky.social, I wrote about two sound art projects centering the borderlands, the Dia Foundation’s Echoes from the Borderlands and UTEP rhetoric professors’ Border Soundscapes: www.theborderchronicle.com/p/listening-...

Listening to the Borderlands
Two audio projects offer soundtracks of a region often talked about, but seldom heard.

Legitimate criticism of Trump's administration occurs everywhere—and it’s no secret that Musk’s DOGE cut millions in scientific research—so the idea that criticism of this equates to terrorism, and results in someone being barred from the U.S., is absurd.

Of course many federal workers can just “find another job”. But the point is that the jobs we do are done for the *public good*. There are no private sector corollaries. We do things that are largely not profitable and that is on purpose. We do work that benefits everyone, if sometimes indirectly.
