What We’re Reading
Something In The Air. Death Alley isn't the only place in America with an environmental racism problem. In Texas, people are choking on refinery pollution <[link removed]> and dying from skyrocketing cancer rates. Detroit, America's Blackest city, has atrocious air pollution <[link removed]> on top of lead in the soil, water, and walls. And the Trump administration wants to roll back the environmental protections <[link removed]> designed to stop this.
Gluten Crimes. This amazing true crime story involves two of our favorite things: bagels and unions <[link removed]>. On a more sober note, a Florida law enforcement agency is using a technicality to close rape cases without even solving them <[link removed]>. In Washington, D.C., an immersive read on life and death at a convenience station <[link removed]>.
Meeting People Where They Are. A growing generation of older adults <[link removed]> needs a place to live, and the face of senior housing is changing radically. Speaking of finding home, at the U.S.-Mexico border, asylum applications can depend on being heard. What happens when no one understands you <[link removed]> and you can't find a translator?
