This is my backyard right now and I still catch myself staring at it like it’s new. Growing up in Tucson felt magical in ways I didn’t understand as a kid. My mom worked at the Desert Museum and we drove through the national park to get there, so I honestly thought this was just what everyone saw every day. Mountains, saguaros, endless sky. It never occurred to me that this wasn’t normal.

When I moved to the Midwest and the mountains disappeared, I remember thinking something was missing. I loved Chicago and still do. The diversity, the energy, the life in that city is unmatched. But a part of me always ached for the desert. I missed the open space, the quiet, the trails, the wildlife, the way the light hits the mountains at certain times of day. After 35 years away, coming back to Tucson felt like my whole system exhaled. My heart felt full, my mind settled, and my soul felt lighter in a way I can’t fully explain.

I love the ocean. I love big cities. But the desert is where I am most at home.

“I took a walk in the desert and it taught me the quiet language of belonging.” -Terry Tempest Williams✨

Alejandro Cartagena captured Mexican workers on their way to job sites in Car Poolers. This is such an amazing and simple photo series.

Revolutionaries in Africa understood that the question of African liberation was not just a question of race, that even if they managed to get rid of the white colonialists, if they didn’t rid themselves of the capitalistic economic structure, the white colonialists would simply be replaced by Black neocolonialists. There was not a single liberation movement in Africa that was not fighting for socialism. In fact, there was not a single liberation movement in the whole world that was fighting for capitalism. The whole thing boiled down to a simple equation: anything that has any kind of value is made, mined, grown, produced, and processed by working people. So why shouldn’t working people collectively own that wealth? Why shouldn’t working people own and control their own resources? Capitalism meant that rich businessmen owned the wealth, while socialism meant that the people who made the wealth owned it.
