D.W. will tell you that creativity comes from working within limits Much has changed since 2001, when creative director D.W. Pine produced his first cover for TIME. (That cover, for a story about online privacy, rendered a desktop computer as a heavy-duty lock.) In 2010, Steve Jobs showed up at Time Inc. to show off the iPad; the cover would be designed for the tablet, and TIME would become the first newsweekly to launch on the Apple device. In 2014, as social media became the place millions of people came to consume all kinds of news, TIME launched its first moving cover image. Across all that change, one thing has not: week after week, D.W. has overseen the creation of our cover. On March 24, we published his 1,000th (right),…

Abortion-rights advocates are closely monitoring what they call a growing and alarming trend: lawmakers in at least 10 states have introduced bills that would allow authorities to bring homicide charges against people who obtain abortions. Bills have been introduced in Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Texas, according to the Center for Reproductive Rights. THE LEGISLATION Most of the states considering these measures have banned abortion in nearly all circumstances or after six weeks of pregnancy. The bills refer to an embryo or fetus as an “unborn child” or “preborn child.” They assert that an embryo or fetus can be a homicide victim, opening the door for authorities to charge and prosecute people who terminate pregnancies. Some also propose removing clauses from existing state…

Representative Jake Auchincloss’s Massachusetts district is so safe, he didn’t even face a Republican opponent in 2024. So while some Democrats are focused on the careful messaging needed to appease swing voters, Auchincloss, 37, is fixated on the broader question facing his party. What went wrong for Democrats? It’s encapsulated in the school closures. Those are elementary-school kids who didn’t learn reading and writing because it was on Zoom. That’s high school kids who missed out on baseball practice. And what defined those school closures was a condescension, it was an inflexibility, and it was a resistance to feedback about the effects of our government’s decisions. It’s not enough to say we were wrong on this. We also have to have a plan for how we’re gonna remediate it. What…

Samuel Beckett would have been as delighted as a toddler with a bubble blower at the dark absurdity of my situation. On Nov. 6, 2024, hundreds of people braved Los Angeles traffic and sat for the first preview performance of Beckett’s Waiting for Godot at the Geffen Playhouse. An eerie, discordant sound cue droned as I waited for the lights to bloom and thereby begin the 2½-hour odyssey of despair and postmodern hijinks. But as the lights came up, I had only one thought: “I wonder what the hell is left of my goddamn house?” Earlier that very day, the day after the 2024 election, that afternoon, my house caught on fire. As I was rehearsing in L.A., my wife Holiday was evacuating our pigs, dogs, and peahen into her…

The new Superman, David Corenswet, resides not in Metropolis but a suburb of Philadelphia. He’s close enough to the downtown train station that his commute to Manhattan, he claims, feels shorter than when he lived in Brooklyn as a struggling actor. We meet at the kind of diner with syrup and hot sauce on every table, on a quaint main street that ends, inevitably, at a Wawa convenience store. It’s an unusual home base for an actor on the precipice of a major breakthrough. Corenswet, 31, will play the lead in Superman, which hits theaters on July 11, the latest film to take on the most popular superhero of all time. He moved to Pennsylvania to be near family, and he’s now raising a 1-year-old daughter there with his actor…

Once again, Turkey faces political turmoil. Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, of Turkey’s main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP), was detained on March 19 and then formally arrested on March 23. He stands accused of a host of poorly evidenced charges: “establishing and managing a criminal organization, taking bribes, extortion, unlawfully recording personal data and rigging a tender.” Imamoglu, who called the charges a “black stain on our democracy,” has also been suspended from his position as mayor. If convicted, as is expected, he will not be allowed to run for President. Despite this, the CHP, which says the arrest is politically motivated, held its previously scheduled primary and named Imamoglu as its presidential candidate for the 2028 election. Meanwhile, protests continue to rock Turkey. Police have moved quickly to contain…

The Trump administration’s fixation on Greenland comes as the Danish autonomous territory faces a future complicated by climate change. Rising temperatures are accelerating the melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet, the largest ice mass in the northern hemisphere. The thaw, coupled with warming oceans, has altered the area’s ecosystems and food security. At first sight, it seems these changes could open up new economic and strategic opportunities—ones the U.S. and others may want to tap. But the reality is more complicated than that. The receding ice has spurred hopes of a mineral gold rush “There’s a perceived military benefit and there’s a perceived economic benefit,” says Paul Bierman, professor of natural resources at the University of Vermont. Melting sea ice, for example, could open up a new trade route and…

The 54-mile stretch of U.S. Route 80 connecting Montgomery to Selma appears unremarkable at first—just another highway cutting through Alabama’s Black Belt, where pine forests occasionally give way to scattered homes and rural crossroads. But this highway is paved with history. Here, civil rights icons Martin Luther King Jr. and John Lewis marched for voting rights in 1965. In Selma, where the highway transforms into broad city streets, state troopers violently assaulted peaceful demonstrators in the watershed moment known as “Bloody Sunday.” Today, a new champion has emerged from the hallowed ground of Lowndes County: Catherine Coleman Flowers. At 66, Flowers presents a gentle demeanor that belies her formidable influence as an advocate for the forgotten communities of the Black Belt and rural America more broadly. While she began to…

PREP TIME Generations. This recipe begins with the wisdom of those who came before us. COOK TIME Lifetimes. The simmering is slow but trans-formative, and each step reveals something new. TOTAL TIME Ongoing. This dish evolves as we learn, grow, and adapt. There is no final version—only progress. DIFFICULTY Both simple and complex. The steps are intuitive, but they require patience, attention, and love. SERVINGS Infinite. Enough for a community, with plenty to share with future generations. INGREDIENTS □ 1 cup of biodiversity□ A generous handful of circular economy thinking□ 3 heaping spoonfuls of communal dining□ A bouquet of plant-forward proteins□ 2 sprigs of Indigenous knowledge□ 1 teaspoon of preservation and seasonality□ A dash of regenerative agriculture□ A pinch of wild harvesting NUTRITION RICH IN RESILIENCE: Strengthens ecosystems SOURCE OF HOPE:…

Get Lifted blends gospel, R&B, and hip-hop. How did you land on that sound? We knew that neo soul had had its time. I wanted it to hit harder, sound bigger, have melodies that were less smooth and more sharp—more of an edge. A lot of neo soul at the time sounded more like ad-libs and open mics, like a poetry session and people were scatting their way through the song. I looked at The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill as a big inspiration that mixed soul, hip-hop, reggae, and gospel. The album hits me differently now as an adult in my 40s going through a lot of transition and loss. It was just where we were as we were writing it, and some of it wasn’t about my own experience.…

Long before FBI agents raided the Florida retreat to retrieve classified documents in August 2022, Mar-a-Lago had become a focus of spies from around the world. Early in his first term, Donald Trump and the Japanese Prime Minister plotted their response to a North Korean missile launch on the club’s open-air patio, photos of which ended up on Facebook. Three months later, the new President shared Israeli-passed intelligence with Russia’s Foreign Minister, horrifying security leaders in Tel Aviv. (A U.S. spy inside Vladimir Putin’s regime was later extracted amid fears the disclosures could put the spook at risk.) Trump also boasted to his Filipino counterpart that he had two nuclear submarines off the coast of North Korea. In 2019, he tweeted spy-satellite images taken over Iranian airspace. The Commander in…

AI, Mealworms, Aerospace, Carbon Capture: They’re all innovative approaches companies are taking to try to stop the effects of climate change. A new analysis of the world’s top greentech companies demonstrates the diversity of organizations fighting climate change, and the positive reactions they’ve received from investors and customers. The analysis by TIME, in partnership with data firm Statista, considered the positive impact, financial strength, and innovation of more than 8,000 companies developing products, services, or technologies to reverse the impact of human activities on the planet. The 250 top companies hail from over 30 countries on six continents; American firms accounted for 11 of the top 20. Switzerland’s Climeworks ranks second, behind Vermont-based battery-powered-aircraft maker Beta Technologies. Climeworks has deployed its carbon-capture technology at unprecedented scale; its new Mammoth facility…

On March 25, The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the first new antibiotic in 30 years to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs). The medication, gepotidacin, is marketed as Blujepa. It targets the E. coli bacteria responsible for the most common types of infections, but works differently than existing antibiotics. The drug targets two enzymes that E. coli uses to make more copies of itself when it generates and snips off circles of its DNA. During that process, the DNA can become knotted, and the bacteria can undo those knots. Blujepa interferes with that process, which prevents the bacteria from replicating and producing more bacteria that can infect cells. Tony Wood, chief scientific officer at GSK (which makes Blujepa), told reporters that this process is unique to E. coli bacteria, and…

There are two immutable forces that we ought to know President Donald Trump cannot stop. The first is the incoming tide of the ocean. The second is the growth of the clean-energy economy. He cannot hold back the rising tide because no steady stream of bluster, prevarication, or snake-oil salesmanship can have any effect on gravitational forces that rule the tides. Likewise, he cannot stop our creation of a clean-energy economy, because he cannot thwart the tremendously successful local efforts by leaders in states and towns who, by pushing for concrete, bold action on climate, are now growing green jobs like gangbusters. He may be able to slow climate progress down, but he cannot stop it entirely. Local leaders have the freedom to decide what their state prioritizes. We have…

Jan. 28, 1986, was a day that changed Rashid Johnson. He remembers the TV set being rolled into his elementary-school classroom in Evanston, Ill. He remembers watching with his classmates as the space shuttle Challenger flew into the air and transformed into a stream of white cloud. “I remember how that affected my thinking, recognizing that failure was possible amongst adults, amongst folks who we were supposed to trust,” says the artist, sitting in his spacious Brooklyn studio, surrounded by works that are being prepared for a massive midcareer survey at the Guggenheim in New York City. “That was a big one for me.” Seeing the footage of Rodney King being beaten by police in Los Angeles in 1991 also loomed large in Johnson’s life, as well as the acquittal…
