The end of the war? The House defies Trump

This edition covers three converging stories: the Trump-brokered three-day ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, the European intelligence report describing growing paranoia and coup fears inside the Kremlin, and Lula's move to hand Trump a copy of Brazil's 2010 nuclear deal with Iran as a possible diplomatic model for the current conflict.

The Body Is Not an Apology grew from a single sentence Sonya Renee Taylor said to a friend in a moment of vulnerability and became a full manifesto. With direct and deeply resonant language, the book connects each person's individual relationship with their own body to larger systems of oppression — racism, fatphobia, and ableism — and makes the case that radical self-love is not self-indulgence but a political act of resistance.

The Body Is Not an Apology

Cuba hasn't received an oil shipment in over three months. Blackouts last twenty hours a day, hospitals are postponing surgeries, airlines have canceled flights, and more than a million Cubans have left the island since twenty twenty-one. Meanwhile, Havana is negotiating with Washington for the first time in years, opening its doors to exile investment, and releasing prisoners with Vatican mediation — while Trump talks about "taking" the island. This piece traces six decades of tension and breaks down the most critical moment Cuba has faced since the revolution.

Cuba and the United States: The Communism That Went Dark

From the beginning of 2020, countries worldwide have started taking action to prevent the spread of the novel Coronavirus. In addition to fighting against the disease, U.S. medical experts had to fight against the government’s and the CDC’s denial that COVID-19 poses a threat to American society. ‘’The Premonition’’ reveals what a small group of brilliant, extraordinarily dedicated, and conscientious people could have done to help the country respond to the COVID-19 pandemic better if they had support from the Trump administration and the CDC.

In “Amusing Ourselves to Death,” a classic analysis of how the electronic media have reshaped our world, American educator Neil Postman wonders whether Aldous Huxley’s dystopia from “Brave New World” hasn’t already been realized in our TV-dominated and image-centered culture.

Amusing Ourselves to Death
