Stephen Colbert might be off CBS's late-night schedule, but he won't be off New Yorkers' radar anytime soon. Today, September 8, MoveOn is staging a very New York protest-slash-celebration to mark the 10th anniversary of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert -and to rail against CBS's sudden cancellation of the top-rated late-night show. The hook is a Colbert lookalike contest where bespectacled superfans compete to see who can best channel the host's trademark arched eyebrow and deadpan delivery. Judges include a few surprise celebrity names, and prizes will be doled out alongside plenty of Colbert-inspired swag.

AI fever might have an iron grip on Fortune 500 CEOs, Wall Street traders, and government officials, but there are still some out their immune to the tech industry's charms.

Al Sharpton led thousands from across the country Thursday for March on Wall Street in protest of the Trump administration's withdrawal from Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs three values that the president and his followers have eschewed.

It's a new season but the same old ownership issues. Twenty years of the Glazers and their debt mountain is 20 years too long. Enough is enough.

The impact of a new order proscribing the protest group Palestine Action as a terror organization will force police to confront the situation during the planned protest.

The people of Ireland stand with the people of Palestine. We stand for human rights, for international law, for a two state solution, for aid to flow, for hostages to be released. We stand for peace. We stand for an end to genocide.

The California Public Utilities Commission announced Friday afternoon that the agency would pause a September return-to-office order for employees until next year.

During the television interview with ARD on Sunday, Alice Weidel, co-leader of the AfD, appeared at times to struggle to hear the questions being asked of her as protesters gathered below the provisional stage for the interview in Berlin.
