Redbox, the DVD rental box company, went kaput earlier last year, leaving more than 24,000 machines abandoned across the country. @404mediaco’s @jasonkoebler takes a look at the efforts to remove and dispose of them. “The unceremonious end of Redbox is a reminder of how much stuff we make and buy, and how, when companies fail to plan for end-of-life or go out of business, they often leave a bunch of devices that suddenly become e-waste behind,” he writes.

Mega Zoom calls have been a major driver of support and fundraising for Kamala Harris's presidential campaign, starting with a group of 44,000 Black women who raised $1.6 million, just a few hours after Harris launched her bid for the White House. @19thnews spoke to some of the organizers and participants of calls for South Asian women, Latinas and white women. Next up: White Dudes for Harris, and the cross-coalition Women for Harris, both of which calls take place today (Monday).
