Imprisoned WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is “crumbling” physically and psychologically, says journalist Chris Hedges, who last week attended Assange’s wedding to his longtime partner Stella Moris at London’s Belmarsh prison. Assange has been behind bars for nearly three years awaiting a possible extradition to the United States on espionage charges for publishing documents revealing war crimes committed in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
YouTube has deleted the entire archive of “On Contact,” an Emmy-nominated television show by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Chris Hedges which was hosted on the Russian government-funded news channel RT America. We speak with Hedges, who connects the YouTube censorship of his show to a growing crackdown on dissenting voices in American media.
President Biden signed the Emmett Till Antilynching Act into law on Tuesday, culminating efforts to make lynching a federal crime that started over a century ago. We’re joined by Emmett Till’s cousin and best friend, Reverend Wheeler Parker Jr., who was 16 years old when he witnessed Till’s abduction from his great-uncle’s home in Money, Mississippi, prior to his brutal killing.
With COVID-19 coverage ending for the uninsured, we look at how uninsured people and communities of color will bear the impact of the end to free COVID-19 testing, treatment and vaccines, and how the pandemic has led to a renewed push for Medicare for All. We are joined by Dr. Oni Blackstock, primary care and HIV physician and founder and executive director of Health Justice, and Dr.
Today was rough, with too many gruesome pictures of dead civilians in liberated towns. The United States warned that Russia had kill-lists of people they wanted eradicated once they took control, and apparently it included even small town mayors. In one little settlement, the mayor was murdered along with her son and husband—the latter tossed into a sewer to bloat and decompose.

Toodles, March. In like a lion, out like … well, it’s out.
You know what GOP state lawmakers very much do not want out?
Any LGBTQ Americans.
As ever, Republicans are scratching away at voting rights and public education and abortion access and … well, anything their grubby little fingers can scrawl a grubby little bill to address.
We all hope we’ll live to be 100—at least, I do—if not older. But most of us would love to grow old and still be able to do what we love and contribute to society. National Park Service (NPS) Ranger Betty Reid Soskin did both. She’s 100 years old now and although she retired Thursday, she’s spent the past decade-and-a-half doing what she loves.
At first, he wanted a cut of the advance for a book planned by photographer Shealah Craighead featuring her own work.
Greta Thunberg is already a published author, having co-written the family memoir Scenes from the Heart and released the collection of speeches No One is Too Small to Make a Difference, along with being the subject of the biography Our House is on Fire. Now, she’s curating the handbook on climate change. The 19-year-old has compiled essays and advice from a host of luminaries for the forthcoming The Climate Book, to be published in the U.K.

Four of Condé Nast’s publications—Ars Technica, Pitchfork, Wired, and The New Yorker—have already unionized. But this week brought big news, in the form of a companywide union at the publishing giant’s other brands. That’s more than 500 workers, which is very small compared to the Amazon warehouse that unionized this week, but very big compared to, say, a Starbucks store.
Russia’s war and high energy prices have forced the administration to walk a tightrope.
Critics of standardized tests have had plenty of reasons to celebrate lately. More than three-quarters of colleges are not requiring the SAT or the ACT for admission this fall, an all-time high, and more than 400 Ph.D. programs have dropped the GRE, up from a mere handful a few years ago. MIT’s announcement on Monday that it is reinstating a testing requirement for fall 2023 admissions was a major departure from these recent trends.
On Thursday, in a dim conference room in the bowels of a Washington, D.C., hotel, about 150 conservatives gathered for a day of group therapy. They had all been traumatized by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which had left them questioning their assumptions about the world. But Vladimir Putin’s war of aggression wasn’t what confounded them most; for these conservatives, a mix of D.C.
A familiar voice opens the latest episode of The Dropout, Hulu’s series about the fall of the infamous blood-testing start-up Theranos: “You founded this company 12 years ago, right? Tell them how old you were.” It’s former President Bill Clinton, praising the company founder and figurehead, Elizabeth Holmes, as played by Amanda Seyfried. “I was 19,” Seyfried replies in Holmes’s near-parodic baritone, to a wave of admiring laughter and applause.
Despite concerns about the bill’s policy and strategy from both sides of the aisle, nearly all House Democrats as well as a dozen Republicans voted for it Thursday.
