Please consider a tax-deductible donation. By Dr. Joakim Kulin and Dr. Ekaterina Rhodes , DeSmog. Belief in climate change is rising, but action stalls. New research reveals how subtle narratives are slowing policy – and how to fight back. Under Donald Trump’s renewed push to expand fossil fuel production — including plans to ramp up oil and gas drilling and roll back climate regulations —…
For the digital asset ecosystem of the future to flourish, investors need options, explains Sullivan. Digital assets have moved well beyond the hype cycle. What began as an experiment in decentralized value transfer has evolved into a serious conversation about how capital markets, custody, settlement and asset ownership could be re-imagined for the digital age. Tokenization, programmable money and distributed ledgers may deliver faster settlement, greater transparency and new efficiencies across the financial system. The opportunity is both real and transformative, but accelerated adoption of digital assets is not guaranteed. The ecosystem’s success will not be determined by any single…

Michelle Zacarias for Prism A month after the explosive New York Times investigation into the rape and sexual misconduct allegations against Latino labor rights organizer César Chávez, immigrant and labor rights organizations throughout Southern California are still grappling with the aftermath.

Image by Gianandrea Villa. In a lawsuit complaining that the New York City Police Department failed to protect a woman from assaults by a Zionist mob, the city’s lawyers are arguing that police have no legal obligation to protect individuals from assault. This defense and its legal precedent are a salient reminder that police do not create safety. Despite billions in funding and never-ending calls for more training, more body cameras, more specialized teams – the police have consistently proven that they only function to uphold existing power systems, not to “protect and serve” our communities. Last year, I was…
Cirque du Soleil’s stunning stage show Luzia, touring five North American cities in 2026, follows a parachutist as he experiences Mexico. In the process, it reveals striking resemblances between Mexican and U.S. culture. The show’s production value and feats of human strength uphold the Cirque du Soleil reputation for high-quality physicality and staging. Pushing the limits of what’s possible under the big tent, Luzia brings the outdoors in, using impressive engineering to highlight water’s beauty. Its characters—birds, reptiles, mountain lions, monarch butterflies—reflect a diversity that is at once familiar and mysterious to many Americans. Each year, those monarch butterflies migrate from southern Canada…

Union baristas are finally back to the negotiating table with Starbucks, but the workers charge that rather than progressing, the company is reopening already agreed-upon issues. “They’re trying to move backwards on issues we’ve already settled instead of settling the few that we have left,” said Mina Leon, a barista in downtown Manhattan who…
Tears from Heaven for the Jesus of Uncool (Apologies to Nick Lowe), Getty Museum. Photo: Jeffrey St. Clair. The Mafia is not an outsider in this world; it is perfectly at home. Indeed, in the integrated spectacle, it stands as the model of all advanced commercial enterprises. – Guy Debord + Donald Trump’s few remaining defenders are now reduced to explaining his increasingly erratic behavior as a ploy, that like Hamlet (I mean, the Don can play Jesus on Truth Social, so why not Hamlet on Fox News?), he is merely putting on “an antic disposition,” and is only “mad…
A local TV news investigation found that hundreds of people in Georgia who were arrested for DUI in 2025 were later shown to be sober, based on blood tests from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. The records show that 701 of the 6,875 blood samples tested had no illegal or prescription drugs in them, even though those people had been charged with driving under the influence. Police only test for drugs in these cases if a driver’s blood alcohol level is below the legal limit. As a result, many arrests depended solely on field sobriety tests that were designed to catch…
