The deadly costs for Mexico's Indigenous communities fighting climate change

Mexico's Indigenous communities are on the front lines of ecological preservation. Many still live on their ancestral lands and struggle against development projects that would destroy some of the world's most precious ecosystems that they call home. Their resistance has taken the form of protests, blockades of major highways and the occupation of government buildings.

How to counter China's use of AI tech

Nowhere is the competition in developing artificial intelligence fiercer than in the accelerating rivalry between the United States and China. At stake in this competition is not just who leads in AI but who sets the rules for how it is used around the world.

Quakes are inevitable. Huge death tolls are not

Earthquakes can neither be prevented nor predicted. If a Category 5 typhoon nears, evacuations are possible; there can be time to move to a safe zone before the pyroclastic flow of a volcano sweeps all in its path. But when the earth shakes, it almost never comes with a warning. Even in the most technologically prepared countries, there's typically just seconds to alert opera...

Jimmy Carter's presidency looks better now than in 1980. Is there a lesson for Joe Biden?

History isn't kind to one-term presidents, at least in the short run. For most of the last 40 years, Jimmy Carter's presidency has been widely remembered as an epic failure, the cautionary tale of a politician who was soundly rejected by voters when he sought a second term in 1980.

Depression doesn't have to stop or kill John Fetterman

I rarely feel connected to politicians, regardless of their party or platform. Like the blue-collar people I grew up with, I just don't trust 'em. Aside from my shaved head and passion for criminal justice reform, I felt no kinship with U.S. Sen. John Fetterman, either - even though I voted for him - until recently, when I learned he had been hospitalized at Walter Reed Medic...

Watching the new 'Elvis' movie and visiting Graceland brought my mom back to me

At my mom's wake in 2007, my siblings and I decided to play Elvis Presley's music quietly in the background. We wanted her friends and family to have an excuse to smile in between all the tears. She was a big Elvis fan and shared that with her children.

Malcolm X was way ahead of his time

Feb. 21 marked the 58th anniversary of the assassination of Malcolm X, arguably the greatest U.S. leader of any color in the 20th century. He was 39 when he died on Feb. 21, 1965, the same age as Martin Luther King Jr. when he was assassinated in 1968. Without reaching 40, these two leaders seem to have lived a thousand years.

ChatGPT shows just how far Europe lags in tech

Europe is where ChatGPT gets regulated, not invented. That's something to regret. As unhinged as the initial results of the artificial-intelligence arms race may be, they're also another reminder of how far the European Union lags behind the US and China when it comes to tech.

On the first anniversary of Putin's invasion, Ukraine fights on for its independence and for the security of the West

It's not an anniversary anyone wants to celebrate.Feb. 24 will mark one year since Moscow's invasion of Ukraine - an act that changed the world more than most Americans fathom - all because of Vladimir Putin's delusion that he could seize control of the country in a matter of days.

How can we boost COVID-19 economic recovery? End the tourist visa backlog

There's a good chance that Main Street in your hometown looks different from how it did three years ago, whether that's in Illinois or elsewhere in the U.S. Perhaps your favorite restaurant has closed, or your barber never reopened after lockdowns. For communities whose economic success is tied to tourism and travel, the contrast is much grimmer.
