UMBC Exhibition Showcases Lewis Hine's Child Labor Photography and Lisa Oppenheim's Interpretations, Featuring Library of Congress Images

The Albin O. Kuhn Library & Gallery at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) is hosting an exhibition titled 'Lewis Hine in Maryland,' which runs until December 18, 2026. This exhibition features the documentary photography of Lewis Hine, who captured images of child workers in Maryland in July 1909, specifically at Bottomley berry farms in Anne Arundel County and the J. S. Farrand Packing Company in Baltimore. The display draws from UMBC’s Photography Collections and contextualizes Hine's Maryland work within his broader documentary project. Complementing Hine's photographs are two works from artist Lisa Oppenheim’s 'Spine' series. Oppenheim's pieces appropriate images by Lewis Hine from the Library of Congress, enlarging them to life size to depict the backs of adolescent textile workers whose bodies were affected by their labor. The exhibition includes a curatorial tour and opening reception, a panel discussion on food and labor in Maryland, and a closing reception.

Senator Ed Markey Secures Democratic Nomination for U.S. Senate in Massachusetts

Senator Ed Markey Secures Democratic Nomination for U.S. Senate in Massachusetts

Senator Ed Markey has won the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in Massachusetts, successfully fending off a challenge from Representative Seth Moulton, according to a race call by The Associated Press. This victory marks another win for the progressive wing of the Democratic Party. Markey, who turned 80 in July and first became a Congressman in 1976, campaigned on his long-standing commitment to progressive ideals, including support for 'Medicare for All,' opposition to President Trump's defense budget, and raising taxes on the wealthy. His campaign emphasized his active role in fighting against President Trump's agenda. The primary race also highlighted generational divides within the party, with Moulton, who entered politics in 2014, advocating for new leadership. During an August debate, Markey accused Moulton of not adequately supporting transgender rights, referencing Moulton's 2024 comments about not wanting his daughters to be 'run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete.' Mo...

Clean Energy Super PAC Targets Rhode Island Governor Dan McKee Over Renewable Energy Rollbacks

Clean Energy Super PAC Targets Rhode Island Governor Dan McKee Over Renewable Energy Rollbacks

A clean energy super PAC, Invest in America’s Future PAC, has launched a $500,000 attack ad campaign against Rhode Island Governor Dan McKee. This action comes just eight days before the state's primary election. The PAC, funded by solar developers and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, is targeting Governor McKee for his proposed rollbacks to existing state renewable energy and energy efficiency programs. These proposals were part of his fiscal 2027 budget, though they were largely dismantled by lawmakers. This marks the first time the Invest in America’s Future PAC, which has previously focused on incumbent Republican members of Congress, has targeted a Democratic candidate and a state-level officeholder. A spokesperson for the PAC, Chis Coffey, stated that Governor McKee is 'playing politics with Rhode Island’s affordability crisis' by blaming it on the clean energy transition and delaying climate goals, which the PAC considers 'disqualifying' given the state's reliance on renewable energy jobs. Governor McK...

Senator Chris Van Hollen Advocates for Progressive Inclusion in Democratic Party Amidst Internal Tensions

Senator Chris Van Hollen Advocates for Progressive Inclusion in Democratic Party Amidst Internal Tensions

Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen (D) has publicly stated that members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) have a legitimate place within the Democratic Party, viewing their participation as part of the ongoing debate. Speaking on NBC’s Meet the Press, Senator Van Hollen emphasized that Democratic voters are not looking to revert to the pre-President Trump status quo but instead desire Democrats who stand for clear principles. These comments come at a critical juncture for the Democratic Party, as recent primary elections have highlighted growing friction between the party's established leadership and an increasingly influential left wing, energized by candidates supported by DSA and other progressive organizations. Senator Van Hollen's remarks contrast sharply with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who has publicly expressed his opposition to the 'DSA agenda,' including policies like Medicare for All.

Representative Jake Auchincloss Secures Democratic Primary Win for 4th Congressional District

Representative Jake Auchincloss Secures Democratic Primary Win for 4th Congressional District

Incumbent Representative Jake Auchincloss has won the Democratic primary for Massachusetts' 4th Congressional District. He secured 6,912 votes in Brookline compared to challenger Jason Poulos's 3,169, and maintained an even wider margin across the district. Poulos had attempted to unseat Auchincloss by leveraging left-wing momentum, but these efforts were unsuccessful. Auchincloss will now advance to the general election, where he will face Republican Tom Stalcup. The primary election also saw other significant races, including the U.S. Senate primary where incumbent Ed Markey was projected the statewide winner, and the Norfolk County District Attorney race which remained too close to call at the time of reporting. Turnout in Brookline for the primary was just over 10,000 voters, a figure comparable to 2022.
