This week, Vox’s Future Perfect is publishing How Factory Farming Ends, a package of stories on the past and future of the movement against factory farming, its struggle to change our culture, politics, and palates, and how it might yet make real progress. Billions of animals raised for food are treated abysmally.

If you’ve spent any time watching the Olympics on NBC or Peacock over the past two weeks, you’ve almost certainly seen them: schmaltzy advertisements for the world’s biggest corporations’ new AI tools. From Google’s Gemini to Microsoft’s Copilot and Meta AI, artificial intelligence is inescapable at the Summer Games, ostensibly an event about showcasing the […] Read more ›

Both Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump have been on a fundraising blitz in recent weeks.

The Democratic super PAC […] Read more ›

If you can stand to think about it long enough, the problem becomes paralyzing. Tens of billions of land animals slaughtered every year; hundreds of millions every day; thousands in the time it takes to read this sentence. The number grows by billions more every year, into multiples that feel as abysmal as they are […] Read more ›

What if we told you that there is a simple way for humanity to slash climate-warming emissions, help prevent the next pandemic, and simultaneously eradicate one of the most significant moral atrocities of our time — one that nearly all of us bear some responsibility for? We’re talking, of course, about factory farming. In 2024, it’s […] Read more ›

The most ambitious goal of the animal movement has always been to eradicate factory farming and inspire people to eat more plants and fewer animals. This only makes sense, as the scale of the violence endemic to industrial farming radically dwarfs all other forms of animal suffering. Beyond the problem of the inevitable suffering involved […] Read more ›

In late 2010, McDonald’s convened representatives from the world’s largest meat companies for the inaugural Global Conference on Sustainable Beef, a three-day affair held in Denver. On the surface, the conference was meant to demonstrate that the beef industry was willing and able to reduce its environmental footprint. But in truth, it served as a […] Read more ›

In a partisan 6-3 ruling issued this summer, the Supreme Court seized the opportunity to gut a cornerstone of federal regulation: Chevron deference, a legal doctrine that for the last 40 years has given government agencies the latitude to implement laws set by Congress. The ruling has given corporations a powerful tool with which to […] Read more ›

On Monday, an attack on the al-Asad airbase in Iraq wounded at least five American military servicemembers and two contractors. The attack could be an isolated incident, but there are signs that it may be part of a broader escalation in the region. The strike comes amid a period of escalating violence in the Middle East.

Tim Walz was just over a year into his first term as Minnesota governor when a Minneapolis police officer murdered George Floyd in May 2020, touching off a generation-defining summer of global protests against police brutality and racial inequality. Four years later, Walz’s handling of the demonstrations — which included mass unrest in Minnesota’s largest […] Read more ›

A federal judge found Monday that Google’s search business constitutes an illegal monopoly, a landmark ruling and major victory for the Biden administration as it seeks to clamp down on Big Tech. The decision has the potential to bring major changes to the internet — and sends a signal that no company is too big […] Read more ›

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has been picked as Kamala Harris’s running mate — and the American left couldn’t be happier. This is not because Walz himself is an ideological leftist. While he certainly has progressive credibility — in 2023, he passed a series of left-liberal reforms dubbed the “Minnesota Miracle” — he’s also taken more centrist positions on a […] Read more ›

Vice President Kamala Harris selected Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate in the 2024 election. A former high school teacher and military veteran, Walz has been in politics for almost two decades, having started as a member of Congress in 2007. He has a record of winning over rural conservative voters and of […] Read more ›

Vice President Kamala Harris chose Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate Tuesday. Walz’s selection came as something of a surprise. For much of last week, betting markets had given Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro a more than 60 percent chance of joining the Democratic ticket. In opting for Walz instead, Harris defied the conventional […] Read more ›

At her first major campaign rally since becoming the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris made a relatively unexpected promise. Speaking in Atlanta to a crowd of 10,000 supporters, Harris pledged to “take on corporate landlords and cap unfair rent increases.” Harris’s remarks to cap rents echoed a recent proposal from the Biden […] Read more ›

How much is the future worth? Usually to answer that question, you’d need to ask philosophers or economists. But if you’re a tech CEO, you have an actual number: about $1 trillion. That’s how much the tech industry as a whole is set to spend building out the artificial intelligence industry over the coming years. […] Read more ›

Bangladesh’s increasingly autocratic leader, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, resigned and fled the country Monday following weeks of unrest. Hasina’s exit on an India-bound military helicopter came after crowds broke a curfew and stormed the prime minister’s residence in the capital Dhaka, following weeks of bloody protest. The movement that ultimately toppled her started with students […] Read more ›

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent presidential candidate perhaps best known for his anti-vaccine viewpoints and proclivity for spreading conspiracy theories, admitted he dumped a dead bear in New York’s Central Park back in 2014. In a video Kennedy posted on X on Sunday, he revealed that he’d left a bike and bear carcass in […] Read more ›

Global stocks plunged over the weekend amid fears that the US economy is faltering, and Monday, all three major US stock indexes were down significantly. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell more than 1,000 points, while the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq were both down more than 3 percent — marking the S&P 550’s biggest […] Read more ›

Kamala Harris entered the presidential race a little over two weeks ago as an underdog. Since then, Democrats’ vibes have been fantastic — and Harris’s polling has gotten better. But it hasn’t improved as much as you might think. At least not yet. Per polls, Trump is no longer the clear favorite to win. But […] Read more ›
