Anthropocene gal. Enviro/sci reporter @voiceofsandiego, @journomack.bsky.social - @Scripps_Ocean alum. More journalism, less bullshit.

I sued the federal government to turn over records about a border wall the first @realDonaldTrump admin planned to build through the notoriously polluted Tijuana River. I found out that Mexico alleged the wall violated treaties: @voiceofsandiego.

Inspection reports from the US Department of Agriculture detail attacks in the past two years by large wild cats native to California, including a bobcat and a mountain lion.
For my next revived Environment Report: That time wild bobcats invaded the @sandiegozoo and dined on flamingos.

What did you measure? @epa_fotouhi.
Today, @EPA leadership, @USAmbMex, @StateDept, and I met with Mexico’s delegation at EPA HQ, where we made measurable progress toward a permanent 100% solution to the decades-old Tijuana River sewage crisis. EPA is committed to pursuing this solution with the utmost urgency!

As U.S. death rates for new mothers jump — “Medicaid insures nearly half of all pregnant women, but proposed federal cuts may jeopardize the coverage, women’s health advocates say.” @nytimes.

Californians, I strongly recommend getting the @MyShakeApp. I got an alert just seconds before my entire apartment shook from the 4.9 #earthquake that just hit San Diego County. For a Midwestern gal, I was very grateful to have a warning.
A M5.2 #earthquake occurred today (04/14) at 10:08am near Julian, CA. MyShake distributed an alert for this earthquake. Whenever you feel shaking or get an alert, remember to Drop, Cover and Hold On. Don't have the MyShake app? Download for Android or.

The transportation secretary said he would revoke federal approval for the program, citing the cost to motorists; the Metropolitan Transportation Authority quickly filed a lawsuit to stop the move.

It's a tribute to the power of @voiceofsandiego's cross-border collaboration with @tijuanapress. A cross-border crisis deserves the news in more than one language.

The Spanish translation of my investigation -- how a piece of U.S. border wall built through a contaminated river broke treaties with Mexico -- was the top read piece in El Sol de Tijuana over the weekend.
