Here is a decent article explaining things that I found while being just as confused as you: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/30/world/europe/irish-backstop-brexit.html
I also cannot believe May hasn't been given the boot by now. They are set to vote on the latest proposal at 7 p.m., GMT, so that's the big news. That is 2 hours from now, or 3 p.m. EDT.
