Dolores Huerta, a pioneering labor organizer and civil rights icon who cofounded the United Farm Workers with Cesar Chavez in the 1960s, has died at 96, her family said in a statement. cnn.it/4iMPEBd

The world has lost one of its greatest champions for justice and civil rights for farmworkers…of all working people. I have always believed food can change the world. Dolores Huerta showed us that change begins with the people who grow and harvest our food. I will honor her legacy by continuing to fight for a world where the people who feed America…and the world...can also feed themselves and their families, with dignity. Dolores taught us: Si, se puede…Together, yes, we can. Rest in peace, Dolores. Si, se pudo! Pero la lucha sigue…your fight lives on in all of us.

.@ianbremmer's beloved dog, Moose, may not have cared much for politics, but his chaotic good persona was a cornerstone of Eurasia Group’s culture for more than fifteen years. Following his passing, Ian reflects on Moose’s legacy in a special edition of #AskIan: @gzeromedia

Preach. This is a party of mummy’s story. She was relentless, tough, and passionate about so many things, especially science and research. She knew it was the answer to changing people’s lives. Bravo and thank you Eileen McNamara for keeping her legacy alive and well.
Eunice Kennedy Shriver, the 5th of 9 in President Kennedy’s family, is not as well known as her brothers, John, Robert, and Ted. But author and journalist Eileen McNamara highlights Eunice Kennedy for her work behind the scenes that changed the world. #womenshistorymonth

"I will tell you that I feel absolutely unequivocally this is the worst political ad ever made in American history. I mean, from every level of it, first of all, morally, it's so bankrupt to take advantage and exploit a domestic situation like this." @mmckinnon on @VivekGRamaswamy ad

Ukraine’s access to Starlink is still limited, President Zelensky tells me. “It limited our possibility to defend.”

President Zelensky tells me there’s nothing personal between him and President Trump, amidst a bitter rift after the US has eased pressure on Russia. Nonetheless, he says, “if we lift sanctions, we will make [Putin] stronger.”

For years, the illegal Israeli outpost of Esh Kodesh served as a launchpad for violence against nearby Palestinian villages. Then in December 2025, the Israeli government legalized it -- one of 104 new settlements Netanyahu's government has approved. What happened next? More violent outposts sprung up, renewing the cycle.

Israeli settlements have massively expanded in the occupied West Bank under the current Israeli government – along with a major spike in violent attacks on Palestinians. @JDiamond1 reports on how the government has allowed this and whether elections could prompt any change.

Journalist/activist @the_andrey_x — who filmed the assault on WaPo’s Heidi Levine last week — was just arrested by Israeli forces. Dozens of other Jewish solidarity activists, including @bradlander & @rabbis4HR activists, were also detained at another olive grove in the West Bank
Twelve soldiers + police showed up in Taybeh olive field to stop a single Palestinian olive farmer from harvesting a single tree. After harassing him for 30+ minutes, a car full of some sort of special police officers stormed in and violently arrested the journalist/activist @the_andrey_x. One of the arresting officers shoved me, then showed me his bloody elbow and said I did it to him. (So if they take me next, that’s probably their pretense.) Second and third videos are other angle of the shove (including it here to be safe). Fourth video is from just before—the major military operation to stop a farmer from picking olives. Fascist state.

Some of my favorite people in this industry wrote chapters for How I Invest My Money: Volume Two, which is out today! One of them happens to be my wife who wrote about hope and leaving room for *magic*. New on The Joint Account. readthejointaccount.com/p/ho…

Just one of Christiane’s many powerful and memorable moments: refusing to give in to Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi’s demand that she wear a headscarf for an interview in NYC. She showed up; he didn’t. Grateful to call @amanpour a colleague and friend.

To say this marks the end of an era doesn’t even cut it. @amanpour has been synonymous with CNN & with top-tier international reporting for decades. I grew up admiring her, pinched myself every time I got to share a screen with her & have been grateful on so many occasions for the platform her show offered for in-depth, international coverage. Will miss her dearly at CNN. But bravo on 43 extraordinary years. We should all be so lucky edition.cnn.com/2026/10/19/m…

"Head-scratching... & disconcerting, to say the least." President Trump's decisions over Ukraine are alarming allies. Former Pentagon official @EvelynNFarkas says the diesel deal w/Russia is "giving Putin a gift... That is completely disconnected to trying to get a peace deal."

I had no idea that Helen Branswell was ill. I'm deeply saddened to hear of her passing. When I became CDC director, a very astute member of the CDC press office told me that I wasn't ready for a briefing unless I was ready for questions from Helen Branswell. Her questions were always thoughtful, knowledgeable, and fair. Her reporting showed us where we needed to improve and informed the public about health. We need more reporters like her. I'll miss her. statnews.com/2026/10/13/hele…
