Jesse Jackson's Legacy: From Marching with MLK to Building the Rainbow Coalition
We look back on the life and legacy of civil rights icon Reverend Jesse Jackson, who died Tuesday at the age of 84. From marching with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to building the Rainbow Coalition in his two presidential runs and beyond, "Jackson's life contributed to making this country more democratic, more inclusive, more fair," says Howard University political science professor Clarence Lusane.

We also speak with activist Larry Hamm, who co-chaired Jackson's 1988 presidential campaign in New Jersey. Hamm first met Jackson in 1971 and says he was "audacious" above all else. "Jesse knew his place in history," says Hamm.

Bernie Sanders on Jesse Jackson: One of the Most Significant Political Leaders of "Last 100 Years"
As we remember the life and legacy of civil rights icon Reverend Jesse Jackson, who died Tuesday at the age of 84, we air remarks by Senator Bernie Sanders from a 2024 tribute held during the Democratic National Convention. Sanders, whose own two runs for president galvanized progressives across the United States, hailed Jackson's campaigns in 1984 and 1988 for building a broad coalition for social justice. "Jesse Jackson is one of the very most significant political leaders in this country in the last 100 years," Sanders said. "Jesse's contribution to modern history is not just bringing us together; it is bringing us together around a progressive agenda."

"Policy of Aggression": Cuba's U.N. Ambassador Denounces U.S. Oil Blockade, Push to Topple Government
Cuba is facing a growing humanitarian crisis due to a U.S.-imposed oil blockade. The Trump administration has also threatened new tariffs against any nation that sends fuel to Cuba, which has been under a U.S. trade embargo since 1962. These measures have caused fuel shortages and widespread blackouts, while the cost of food and transportation has skyrocketed. "This is a massive violation of human rights," says Ernesto Soberón Guzmán, Cuban ambassador to the United Nations. "It's a massive violation of international law."

‘Rumours': Cate Blanchett Channels Angela Merkel in Her Weirdest Movie Yet
Elevation PicturesWithin the first 15 minutes of Rumours, the newest off-kilter fantasia from Canadian director Guy Maddin and his collaborators Evan and Galen Johnson, the ensemble of main characters stumble upon a dead body. A bog body, specifically—a preserved human from the Iron Age whose flesh has been mummified by the underground peat while the passing millennia melted their bones away.

Bog bodies are often the remains of tribal leaders, the local archaeologist explains, killed by their subordinates in ritual sacrifice when their leadership proved unsatisfactory. It's a groaningly obvious dig at the movie's themes: Rumours takes place at a near-future version of the G7 summit, and its cast are seven of the world's most powerful heads of state, gathered together to solve an unnamed crisis—or die trying.

The film, which hits theaters in the U.S. Oct. 18, is led by an international cast, each playing fictional presidents and prime ministers of the seven nations of the G7. As Charles de Gaulle once decreed that the leader of a country ought to embody l'esprit de la nation, the characters in Rumours exhibit stereotypes particular to their home country, each more absurd than the last.
