Homeless residents of Grants Pass, Ore., wait to hear: Will the Supreme Court say they are lawbreakers even if they have nowhere to go? The city Monday will defend anti-camping rules that could shape policy decisions countrywide. @reisthebault Ann Marimow washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/04…

Take a journey on a wildflower filled afternoon through Death Valley country with Naomi Fraga, PhD & I, as told by Reis Thebault Bridget Bennett Alice Lee in The Washington Post.

We're soaking it in during times of plenty to hold us through what's to come.

Incredible reporting by Reis Thebault Alice Li on the strange wildflower year happening now in Death Valley. “The thing about a super bloom is it forces you to realize the abundance of life that’s actually here.” washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/04…

Death Valley has been transformed this year. Check out the super bloom, in all its glory, by ⁦Reis Thebault⁩ ⁦Alice Li⁩ and Bridget Bennett washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/04…

Sometimes the desert holds its secrets close, whispering them only to those who carefully listen. But this year, the hottest and driest place in America might as well be shouting, via @reisthebault Alice Li and Bridget Bennett:

San Francisco has not always been as reflexively liberal as its image suggests, but this week it has furthered its move toward the center by supporting two conservative measures to deal with the city’s crises. @reisthebault washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/03…

In this story for the The Washington Post, our executive director Mason Voehl was interviewed on how to understand experiences like floating on Lake Manly in light of the climate change-fueled events that created it. See what he had to say!

Thank you to Reis Thebault The Washington Post for sharing the incredible story of the rare reemergence of Lake Manly. It was a dream come true for me to wade in it these shallow waters and dream of a not so distant past when camels roamed its shores. 🌊washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/03…

lake manly has brought together so many of my friends and desert people — check out this wonderful story by LA pal Reis Thebault, who went kayaking with Vegas pal Bridget Bennett & Mason from the Shoshone-based Amargosa Conservancy washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/03…

For those who revere Death Valley and for the many newcomers now flocking to the national park, this has been a season of beauty and wonder as a long-gone lake is revived by the climate change forces propelling such destruction elsewhere. Reis Thebault washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/03…

New: Today, the Houston Landing NewsGuild filed for an election with the NLRB. Let’s take a look at how we got here:

On Friday, Houston Landing CEO Peter Bhatia declined to recognize our union, citing concerns about which positions at the Landing are union-eligible. (1/4)

Tiny homes meant to house survivors of the massive Maui fires are sitting unused and others are unbuilt, another crisis for those without homes -- this time at the hands of the island’s delay-prone housing policies. @reisthebault washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/02…

Before Lahaina, the Kula fire burst out 20 miles to the east. The horrible death toll of Lahaina has overshadowed Kula, but its residents have fought back against the challenges prompted by the age of successive, cascading natural disasters. @reisthebault washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/02…

More than five months after 100 lives were lost and thousands more were displaced in the most damaging fire in recent U.S. history, Lahaina survivors and supporters gathered for the first time in a communal act of mourning and resilience. @reisthebault washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/01…

There’s the retiree shuttled from shelter to shelter, the family who can only afford their rental until month’s end. Nearly 6,200 people are still looking for a place to live, 4 months after the Lahaina wildfire prompted a housing emergency. @reisthebault washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/12…

It’s been nearly 20 years since the last major film was released on VHS, those clunky plastic rectangles. Now “tapeheads” are rewinding time to an age before on-demand, and they are bringing the VHS and the video store back to life. Fun @reisthebault read: washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/12…

“It’s like you’re removing a clot — we’ve got four clots in our artery,” said a descendent of the Native groups who consider the Klamath their sacred and spiritual lifeblood. “And now we’re getting surgery done.

Reis Thebault reports on the effort to save a vital American river:

Having covered these water wars in Klamath Falls for 5+ years, it's almost unbelievable that these dams are actually coming down. Excellent piece on a years-long fight that has been beyond contentious, from Reis Thebault w/ melina mara & Alice Li. washingtonpost.com/climate-soluti…
