Human Rights Crisis in ICE Detention Centers
IN EARLY AUGUST, the number of people in immigration detention in the U.S. surged to an all-time high of more than 60,000. While the Trump administration waited for massive new detention centers to open, it turned to federal prisons and jails, hastily constructed state facilities, and temporary holding cells that were never meant to house people for any extended amount of time. The overcrowding, combined with negligence and malevolence, has led to inevitable abuses that are too large to ignore or deny.

Trump Is the Coal President
COAL-THE DOMINANT fuel in the U.S., before it was steadily replaced by cheaper and cleaner energy sources—has found new life under President Donald Trump. In April, Trump issued an executive order to reinvigorate “America’s Beautiful Clean Coal Industry,” which directed federal agencies to remove regulatory barriers to coal production and coal mining on federal lands.

Regenerating Agriculture: Coordinating Action Across the Global Food System
From volatile weather to shifting geopolitics, farming is under pressure as never before. To feed a growing global population while reducing emissions, agriculture must increase crop yields by 70% by 2050 and significantly cut its carbon footprint. To meet these goals, many of the world's farms are evolving fast, blending profit with sustainable practices. Rabobank, Arva, and a consortium of bioenergy companies and experts—Sevana Bioenergy, EcoEngineers, South Jersey Industries, LF Bioenergy, and ag sustainability expert Cyn French—were interviewed for this report. They are among those powering this shift, showing how finance, technology, and bioenergy can transform the food system at scale.

Domhnall Gleeson
OF THE NEW SITCOM THE PAPER, ABOUT A STRUGGLING MIDWESTERN newspaper and its staff, Domhnall Gleeson is quick to note that while it shares a universe with The Office (they share the same mockumentary crew and a cast member), its motivation is different. “I think the people who go into work in this workplace, their reason for going to work is very different than a lot of people in The Office.” And he credits that delicate balance of nostalgia and newness to creator Greg Daniels. “Part of what makes him great is that he is continually interested in the next thing.” Gleeson adds, “he’s looking at the next funny idea.” At the show’s center is Gleeson’s Ned, the editor-in-chief who Gleeson describes as “hopeful and optimistic”—both his greatest asset and flaw. “He thinks the world is a better place than it is, and he wants the world to be an even better place.” Ultimately, Gleeson hopes The Paper has a similar impact on the fans as The Office did. “It’s nice to be a part of something that hopefully will make people happy or give people a warm place to spend time.”
