The Intelligence from The Economist - The son shines: elections in the Philippines

Voters in the Philippines choose a new president on Monday. The likely winner is a scion of one of the country’s most controversial families. Exxon struck oil off the coast of Guyana a few years back. How will becoming a petrostate change this small country on South America’s northern coast? And koalas are adorable but imperilled—by development, stray dogs and now, a quickly spreading bacterial infection.

Just in time for Mother’s Day, shares of 1800-Flowers.com are down because donuts are beating daisies. Budweiser revealed that the new drink of 2022 is the opposite of Budweiser.

Everything Everywhere Daily - All About Solar Power

In 1839, a French scientist by the name of Edmond Becquerel was experimenting with an electrochemical cell when he discovered something interesting. 

When it was exposed to light, it produced an electrical current. 

For over a hundred years, this was mostly a scientific curiosity. However, with the advent of the space age, this curiosity began to find practical uses. 

Learn more about solar cells and solar power, its history, and how it works on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NBN Book of the Day - Katie Stallard, “Dancing on Bones: History and Power in China, Russia and North Korea” (Oxford UP, 2022)

Present-day relations between ‘the West’ and each of China, Russia and North Korea are often fractious to say the least, yet today’s global atmosphere of menace or crisis just as often has to do with history as it does with contemporary disagreements. All states of course seek ‘usable pasts’ which may or may not be in conflict with one another, but as Katie Stallard shows in Dancing on Bones, leaders in each of Beijing, Moscow and Pyongyang have of late gone to particularly great lengths to shape historical narratives which justify their grip on power.

Drawing on years of on-the-ground reporting and research in each of these three critically important countries, Stallard mixes analysis of political and historical events with first-hand interviews and reportage to offer a vivid sense of how history is put to ever-changing uses and why this matters. Accessibly written and richly referenced, Dancing on Bones: History and Power in China, Russia and North Korea (Oxford UP, 2022),sheds compelling light on often-under-considered connections between three countries which share much beyond their status as perceived ‘revisionist’ powers.

Ed Pulford is a Lecturer in Chinese Studies at the University of Manchester. His research focuses on friendships and histories between the Chinese, Korean and Russian worlds, and indigeneity in northeast Asia.

In the Bubble with Andy Slavitt - Post-Roe America up Close: 1,000 Miles to an Abortion

A post-Roe America could become a reality soon, if Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s draft ruling becomes the court’s final decision. From the West Alabama Women’s Center in Tuscaloosa, Robin Marty tells Andy how the decision would impact her patients from day one, and urges Americans with privilege to consider how far they’ll go to protect the rights of others. Andy asks Columbia Law School professor Carol Sanger which of Alito’s arguments stuck out to her and what people can do today to help bring the right to choose back to states that may lose it.

What A Day - Providing Abortions In Uncertain Times

Abortion providers and advocates in several states have been scrambling to figure out how to process the fall out of the Supreme Court leak, what to tell patients, and how to still help them if the procedure is restricted where they are. Susan Braselton, who manages the clinic escort program for the Roe Fund in Oklahoma, joins us to discuss how her work has been affected by anti-abortion laws both in her state and others.

And in headlines: Russian forces continued their assault on a steel plant in Mariupol, Amazon Labor Union's leader Chris Smalls testified in D.C., and Karine Jean-Pierre will be the first Black woman and the first out LGBTQ+ person to be a White House press secretary.

The Daily Signal - Woman Who Survived 2 Abortion Attempts Shares Her Message to Pro-Choice Activists

Denisha Workizer was in her 40s when she learned her mother had tried to abort her not once, but twice. 


With the Supreme Court apparently set to overturn its 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade, Workizer says, she wants pro-abortion activists to consider that we “empower women by empowering life."


"It's not empowering for a woman to kill her child,” she adds.


Today, Workizer works with The Abortion Survivors Network, an organization that helps other survivors find hope and peace in their own stories. 


She joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" today to share her personal story of survival as well her message to both pro-choice and pro-life Americans. 


Also on today’s show, we cover these stories:

  • The Biden administration is trying to weed out “disinformation,” but Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., says he doesn't trust the government to determine what is and isn't disinformation. 
  • In a speech on the Senate floor, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., announces that Democrats will force a vote on legislation to codify Americans' access to abortion. 
  • Pro-abortion activists plan protests outside the homes of the Supreme Court's six conservative justices.
