This black-and-white portrait captures Maggie Kuhn (1905–1995), the indomitable founder of the Gray Panthers, an activist group that revolutionized the fight against ageism. Seated in a relaxed yet attentive pose, Kuhn is seen in her later years, radiating a sense of sharp-witted wisdom and gentle defiance. She is dressed in a dark, structured, button-down jacket with a small round collar, featuring a prominent circular political button pinned to her left chest—a hallmark of her lifelong commitment to grassroots organizing. Her silver hair is elegantly swept back, and she wears thin-framed glasses that highlight her keen, observant eyes and a slight, knowing smile. Her hands, weathered by time and adorned with simple rings, rest naturally in her lap, one draped over the arm of what appears to be a patterned chair. The background is softly out of focus, showing a glimpse of indoor foliage and a textured wall, suggesting a television studio or public forum setting where she frequently challenged societal norms. The composition is a medium shot that focuses on her presence as a formidable public figure. The mood is one of dignified strength and intellectual vitality, serving as a powerful visual testament to her legacy as a champion for intergenerational justice and the rights of the elderly.

Mayor Mamdani and a group of children hold hands while running through red tape in a hallway.

For too long, bureaucracy kept 7 child care centers across our city empty — spaces that should have been alive with laughter instead collected dust.

We've run through that red tape. This fall, all 7 will open their doors, bringing an additional 240 free 3-K seats & real relief to working families.

The Capitol Police are arresting US military veterans for protesting war and genocide. That’s how sick our society is. Protesting war and genocide lands you in jail while supporting war and funding genocide gets you a job in Congress and the White House.🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Similar lawsuits have been filed against ICE's warehouse detention camp plans in New Jersey and Michigan.

How a Gambling Warrant Could Change Immigration Enforcement Authority A warrant for five people led to 400 people being detained at a community event. Now the operation is at the center of a novel ACLU lawsuit.

Last October, ICE used a warrant, obtained to arrest five individuals for allegedly gambling without a license, to detain 400 predominantly Latino adults and children at a racetrack in Idaho. Gigi Liman explains the ACLU's novel suit challenging the action under 2 Reconstruction-era statutes.

Amazon, USPS and the risk of a widening delivery divide in rural America The new deal between Amazon and the U.S. Postal Service has many implications, maybe none greater than what it means for package delivery to rural Americans.

Rural Americans will suffer most as Republicans and Amazon wage war on the USPS www.cnbc.com/2026/04/19/a...

It’s kinda sad when Domino’s is dunking on Amazon in terms of goodwill PR moves that actually improve society.

Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October.

Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year.

Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce.

Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.

It's been so interesting to watch this unfold. Barnes & Noble and other big book chains shut indies down in the the 1990s (and on) and then Amazon came along and ate up all the book market share. Now people tired of big corporations are creating demand for more indies
