Funny story. We planned this to be a 20 minute chat but then we got talking . . . . I love it when a #podcast interview becomes a real conversation! Thank you Yeah-Uh-Huh for this great experience.

YUH 185 - "Naming Gotham" with Author Rebecca Bratspies!
Episode · Yeah-Uh-Huh · YUH 185 is environtmental lawyer/professor/author Rebecca Bratspies and her book "Naming Gotham: The Villains, Rogues and Heroes Behind New York’s Place Names". Sitting in the exhasberating traffic of the Major Deegan Highway one day, our guest had plenty of time to ponder (and sometimes curse) the faceless figures that blessed the infrastracture in and around one of the greatest cities in the world. As she researched some of these historical figures, she discovered that manyof them might have been worthy of their distinction, while others were far less deserving of having their name committed to posterity. For every Jackie Robinson or Shirley Chisolm that New Yorkers can feel good about, there was a nefarious character like Richard Riker who dealt in infamy. #gothamcity #majordeegan #jackierobinson #shirlychisolm #williamshea #brooklynbridge #cuny #queens #williamcullenbryant #johnastor #annhutchinson YUH Theme by David T and Mojo 3 https://www.amazon.com/Insanity-Sobriety-Blues-David-Mojo3/dp/B091N8BJNB Rebecca Bratspies Offical https://www.rebeccabratspies.com/ Naming Gotham: The Villains, Rogues and Heroes Behind New York’s Place Names on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Naming-Gotham-Villains-Rogues-Heroes/dp/1467151408 Yeah Uh Huh Social Stuff: Yeah Uh Huh on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@yeahuhhuhpod Yeah Uh Huh on Facebook https://facebook.com/YeahUhHuhPod Yeah Uh Huh on Twitter https://twitter.com/YeahUhHuhPod Yeah Uh Huh on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/7pS9l716ljEQLeMMxwihoS?si=27bd15fb26ed46aa Yeah Uh Huh on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yeah-uh-huh/id1565097611 Yeah Uh Huh Website: https://yeah-uh-huh.wixsite.com/yeahuhhuhpod
Pleased to share my article "Energy Justice and Renewable Rikers." It is the lead article of the latest volume of the
#MiamiLawReview. It draws in part on all the
#history research I did for
#NamingGotham. TLDR: If we start by prioritizing justice, we think about problems (and their answers) in new ways.

Unsustainable energy practices generate the lion’s share of global carbon emissions as well as staggering levels of deadly particulate pollution. Replacing the current dirty, fossil fuel-based system with affordable, clean energy is both a human rights imperative and a climate change necessity. This transition, which has already begun, creates the opportunity to do things differently. By confronting the structural racism embedded in existing energy structures, we can build a just transition rather than just a transition. This Article uses New York City’s Renewable Rikers project as a case study to explore how we might take advantage of the intersections between social justice, racial justice, and environmental justice to achieve sweeping social progress as part of the ongoing green energy transition.
William Johnstone died on Rikers Island on July 15. He is the 25th person to die in NYC’s jails since Mayor Eric Adams took office.
The mounting deaths in NYC jails point to a continued failure to grapple with the hellish conditions that have killed jailed New Yorkers at alarming rates since 2021.
📢It is time for the crisis on Rikers Island to end. The city MUST #CloseRikers now. https://www.vera.org/news/24-people-have-died-in-new-york-city-jails-since-the-start-of-last-year
25 People Have Died in New York City Jails Since the Start of Last…
William Johnstone, 47, died on Rikers Island on July 15. He was found unresponsive in his cell that afternoon and was pronounced dead two hours later. He is the sixth person to die during their incarceration in, or immediately following their release from, New York City's dangerous jails this year…
So thankful for the
#RenewableRikers event at Women Lifting Up in Brooklyn. Being in conversation with @WomensCJA

@FreedomAgendaNY
I learned so much.
#BEYONDrosies #closerikersExtra Extra: Rikers Island is named after an infamous slaveholder who led NYC's effort to capture people who'd escaped slavery
Because the city shouldn't have anything named after Richard Riker, here are your end-of-day links: We need a new Night Mayor, we also need a new chief judge appointee, Chris Cuomo and Anthony Scaramucci talk about being Italian and more.
@mvario this is a post I wouldn’t mind QT’ing.
