Is in the NYT but Jordahl has articles on Medium and The Revelator associated with Center for Bio Diversity. I follow him on Twitter so it could also be a way to bridge the reading with online presence. I like his perspective, which is about how the Wall on the border has totally screwed over Hohokam people’s land near the border along with the rich biodiversity of that area. It’s a good way to think about immigration and border presence as not just affecting those who are crossing the border but the people and flora/fauna that live there
Opinion | How Trump's Wall Hurts Arizona's Environment - The New York Times

I’ve used this essay a lot in my classes for visual rhetoric as he does a great job analyzing images from BLM and connecting them to super heroes. Students love it. Plus the image of Ieshia Evans was taken in Baton Rouge.
