The Biden administration is quadrupling tariffs on China-made EVs. The tariffs are part of a broad swath of protectionist policies first imposed by former President Trump.

President Biden is the latest in a long line of presidents to place himself in the middle of a Middle East conflict. U.S. efforts have seen failed starts, wrong turns and dead ends, but some progress.

Russia was expected to dominate the skies over Ukraine. But Ukrainians are still shooting down helicopters and planes, making Russian pilots very wary about venturing into Ukrainian airspace.

Hashem, who writes for The Daily Show, has a standup special called Dark Little Whispers debuting on Amazon Prime Video. It coincides with a heartbreaking political and humanitarian crisis.

The hallmarks of Russian-back influence are consistent: trying to erode support for Ukraine, discrediting democratic institutions and seizing on existing political divides.

En su primer fallo sobre derechos reproductivos desde que se anuló Roe v. Wade, la Corte Suprema de Estados Unidos rechazó el jueves una demanda que cuestionaba la aprobación por parte de la FDA de la píldora abortiva mifepristona.

“The Role of Myth in Anthropogeny,” is the topic of a FREE, hybrid public symposium hosted by the CARTA: UC San Diego/Salk Center for Academic Research & Training in Anthropogeny at the Salk Institute - Conrad T. Prebys Auditorium on Friday, May 19, 2023 (Beginning 1:00 p.m. Pacific with Q&A and expert discussion and commencing ~ 4:30 p.m. Pacific), co-chaired by Daniel Povinelli (University of Louisiana at Lafayette) and Pauline Wiessner (Arizona State University & University of Utah). Event Summary: The human penchant for storytelling is universal, early developing, and profoundly culture-shaping. Stories (folk tales, narratives, and myths) influence the costs of social transactions and organize societies at every scale of human interaction. Story as a mode of communication is also unprecedented in the animal kingdom: although we are compelled to tell stories about other animals, they are not likewise compelled to tell stories about us (or anything else, for that matter). Even scientists who attempt to objectively understand human origins are destined to craft those explanations as stories, often with narrative and/or mythic overtones. From the domestication of fire to the emergence of cooperative hunting to the evolutionary origins of human cognition, our understanding of the human journey is deeply influenced by stories embedded in our cultural histories. Even our ability to manage urgent human problems such as global health and climate change are affected by the stories and myths humans choose to tell. This symposium explores several stories about how the evolution of story-telling shaped, and continues to shape, the human epoch.

Funding for this symposium was provided by many generous CARTA friends like YOU. Closed captioning for the recordings was made possible by CARTA Patrons Ingrid Benirschke-Perkins & Gordon Perkins.

This year, many of the films have a special focus on the conflict in Gaza.

The film's release in Japan, more than eight months after it opened in the U.S., had been watched with trepidation because of the sensitivity of the subject matter.
