The journalist and activist spent a lifetime championing women's rights, including abortion rights. In an interview with WHOI's fresh air, she said that despite the Supreme Court's decision to strike down Rovey Wade, her work on reproductive justice was not in vain. Politics and deep change, and you know, everything we're trying to do is like a tree.
And too often we think the tree grows from the top, from Congress. Trees grow from the bottom. Gloria Steinem was 92 years old. Tributes today include those of former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Clinton says, Steinem pushed open doors for millions
of women. Two Democrats in Congress are urging the Department of Homeland Security to help state and local officials bolster election security ahead of November. Here's NPR as Jedi McLaughlin.
“"I had of them in term elections, two Democrats are urging President Trump's Homeland”
Security Chief Mark Wayne Mullin, and the acting director of the cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency Nick Anderson to take action." Senator Alex Bideev, California, and Representative Joseph Moral of New York, demand that DHS distribute the nearly $40 million Congress approved for election security, including for an information sharing center, designed to help state and local election officials
receive the latest intelligence on cyber threats and disinformation campaigns targeting their offices.
The lawmakers point to ongoing digital tax facing American critical infrastructure and
federal cyber job cuts as additional reasons for urgency. General Glawlin and PR news, a new assessment of the deadly floods in Nepal and Tibet finds. There were warning signs days before, part of a glacier collapsed into a valley. The section of ice was about 3,000 feet wide sending a fast moving wall of water, ice
and debris, some 80 miles downstream.
“And PR's DHS report more than 1,200 people were killed, and about 4,000 others are still”
unaccounted for. The assessment was by a consortium that looks at risk data in the high mountains. Scientists looked at publicly available satellite imagery and found melting had sped up on the glacier. A sign was unstable, and there was an indication of a crack in the bedrock.
One report author, Yarkub Steiner, told NPR that their rapid assessment showed its possible to develop an early warning system. "We could have seen indications that things are changing and could have been at least alert." The report says there's still a risk of more flush flooding because of potentially unstable masses of rock and ice that remain on the glacier.
DHS, NPR News This is NPR. Three people are dead, including the suspect following a mass shooting inside an apartment building in Minneapolis. Mad SEPIC of Minnesota Public Radio reports, six others are injured, including three police officers.
Police arrived at the building less than two minutes after getting the initial nine one-one call. Resident Yumeca Agnew says she and several neighbors were about to step out of the elevator
on the first floor when they heard gunfire.
"The door's open and we heard the gunshots. Just like that. So we just started pushing the button for the door to shed." Agnew made it to safety in her apartment before evacuating. Police did not cite a motive, but court records show that building management was in the
process of evicting the suspected shooter over earlier threats of violence. For NPR News, I met SEPIC in Minneapolis. Several musicians have filed a class action lawsuit against the AI Music Maker soon-up, just in Barney, a presentation of U.P.L.N. has a latest. "Suno is an AI company that can generate a fully fleshed song with as little as a one-word
prompt. Amongst several claims, the suit notes that Suno says that users are blocked from using specific names in their prompts, but when Americana singer Jason Isbull's name was prompted, Suno created a song with clean male vocals and a country twang. The lawsuit states that Suno encoded the identities of countless artists into its AI
model without permission, and now exploits them for its own profit. The suit comes amidst an avalanche of lawsuits against Suno in the past week." Billionaire Mark Cuban has stared into the belly of the beast of America's healthcare system. "I mean, it's so bad you can go through a long list of really quality hospitals and they
