An Essential Artist: Narsiso Martinez Layers Farmworkers Over Industry

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:37:01 GMT

I did not expect to hear John Steinbeck’s voice in my head on the one-and-half-hour drive from Los Angeles to Long Beach, California, but on it droned. Even if one concedes that Elon Musk’s supremely speedy 2022 Tesla Model X makes for an oddly fitting DeLorean time machine (0-to-60 in 2.5 seconds), it’s still an unlikely conveyance in which to receive unredeemed histories of human exploitation and ancient claims to California’s once storied land of plenty: John Sutter’s mill, where gold was actually discovered in 1848, and other family deeds, which, over the centuries, might have seen green fields and citrus orchards turned into miles of parking lots and strip malls.Yet the voice came, like mid-morning traffic streaming across U.S. 101, resembling the speech Steinbeck used to accept his 1962 Nobel Prize. Fuzzily remembered as a goateed, tuxedoed figure in a YouTube video, the legendary author’s disembodied croak channeled lines from The Grapes of Wrath (1939), his most famous novel...

By Leslie Kaufman and Tim Quinson | BloombergThe US hurricane season officially kicks off next week, and no other place in the country is more vulnerable to storm-related damage than Florida, the fastest-growing state in the nation.

Last year, Hurricane Ian resulted in a more than 10% hit to the economy when totaling up all of the property destruction, infrastructure spending and power outages, he said.With the climate crisis resulting in increasingly more dangerous storms, the residents of the Sunshine State are left with higher costs in the form of indirect and direct insurance payments.Here are five ways that climate change is costing Floridians ...

By Dasha Litvinova, Yuras Karmanau and Hanna Arhirova | Associated PressTALLINN, Estonia — Russia alleges that dozens of Ukrainian militants crossed into one of its border towns in its Belgorod region, striking targets and forcing an evacuation, before over 70 of the attackers were killed or pushed back by what the authorities termed a counterterrorism operation.Ukraine denied any involvement in the skirmishes Monday and Tuesday, instead blaming two Russian groups that claim to be volunteers fighting alongside Kyiv’s forces in an uprising against the government of President Vladimir Putin.While neither version could be independently verified, whatever happened appears to have sent Moscow scrambling to respond to one of the most serious border incursions since Putin launched the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.Belgorod Gov. Vyacheslav Gladkov said an elderly woman died in the chaotic evacuation, and 12 people were wounded in the attack and shelling. As fighting there appar...
