This is the seventy-seventh post in my series that explores the most-used words in the top stories shared amongst Environmental Historians and Environmental Humanities scholars on Twitter each week.

Caption from CNN: “At left, the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. At right, President Donald Trump’s pick to be the next Supreme Court Justice, appeals court judge Brett Kavanaugh, who called Scalia, “an apostle of restraint and an apostle of engagement.””
