Germany still hasn’t paid reparations for its genocide in Namibia. Now, a green hydrogen megaproject risks further burying that history – sidestepping the voices of victims’ descendants. I met some of them in Namibia. This is my report (Support my work on Substack).

Residential school denialists don’t want you to watch Sugarcane - a new documentary about the St. Joseph’s Indian Residential School that’s getting Oscar buzz and is now streaming on Disney+ and Hula. That’s good enough reason to check it out and learn about the ongoing legacy of the IRS system.
