From Florida's Farm Fields, Lessons for #MeToo and Other Movements

Present-day organizers who want to bring about social change would do well to look to Florida farmworkers. They took on the low wages, physical abuse, and vulnerability that have long characterized agricultural labor in the United States — and won, changing the culture for the better.

Why This Wasn't Kim's Father's — or Grandfather's — Summit

This is the third time the United States and North Korea have started down a path toward denuclearization and normalization of relations. The difference now is that Trump and Kim have committed themselves earlier on in the process and more publicly than their predecessors did.

Why Russia Should Not Rejoin the G7

Even were it to disgorge the parts of Ukraine that it seized in 2014, Russia still would not qualify for reentry into the G8. An aspirational case for Russian membership might be made, but only if Russia's leadership aspires to democratic government and an open free market economy. At the moment there is no sign of such an aspiration.

Terrorism Cost the EU €180 Billion Between 2004 and 2016

The European Union lost around €180 billion in GDP terms due to terrorism between 2004 and 2016.

Quoted

Real and sustainable change can be driven, designed and implemented from inside the communities most affected. These new voices from the fields, from film studios and from classrooms... are powerful in part because they are fighting for their own basic human rights.

We've not gotten a full declaration from North Korea. That's a first step in denuclearization. They have to tell us what they've been doing, where they've been doing it, and how much... We're going to need hundreds and hundreds of inspectors to go into North Korea to all these locations. It's a very daunting task.

We found that almost all gang evaluations we reviewed were either applicable and/or transferable to violent extremism.

As a quote-unquote millennial, it's frustrating to hear people generalizing about my supposed generation when there is really no consensus on when my generation starts or ends.

The decision to suspend the exercises was mainly a gesture of goodwill to incentivize Kim's compliance. It is a gamble, however. If North Korea fails to fulfill its pledge and tensions return, the U.S. may regret failing to carry out routine preparations to ensure the readiness of its forces and those of South Korea.
