This morning, I cried tears of joy. From 27 USP law students in Vanuatu to a global movement, @pisfcc youth have led with fire, strategy, & heart. On Vanuatu’s Children’s Day, they’ve gifted hope to the next generation. @RRegenvanu

From the start, @pisfcc the youth advocates have been the minds, will, strategists, organizers, fighters, fire in the kitchen,and warriors of the campaign for climate action.Their grit and determination to see it through to the end make them nothing short of heroes.Just amazing!

It is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say. But that’s exactly what the Trump Administration is doing to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.

To understand why this is so appalling, it’s important to know the facts. Congresswoman Omar came to this country with her father when she was 12 years old. Five years later, her father became a naturalized citizen. If Ilhan had been 18 at the time, she would have had to apply for citizenship separately. But because she was 17, she became a naturalized citizen automatically.

Congresswoman Omar went on to graduate from college, work as a community organizer, become the first Somali-American legislator elected to public office in the U.S., and win a seat in Congress. There, she has been one of the Trump Administration’s fiercest critics, which has led the president to repeatedly single her out as someone who he believes does not belong in this country.

Now the Administration is actively trying to deport Congresswoman Omar, seemingly based solely on the unsubstantiated theory that she was actually 18 when her father was naturalized, and therefore is not a citizen. Federal agents have raided her home, confiscated personal records, and seized her phone — all to try and uncover a nonexistent smoking gun from 20 years ago that will somehow make their case.

Think about that. The full weight of the federal government is being brought down on a law-abiding elected official because she has dared to criticize the president. And it’s not the first time this has happened. Under President Trump, the Justice Department has repeatedly gone after those he considers his political enemies — from the Attorney General of New York, to the former head of the FBI, to members of the Federal Reserve.

In those cases, the prosecutions either stalled or were dismissed for having no basis in law, and the same is likely to happen in this case. But not before Congresswoman Omar’s life has been turned upside down, her legal bills have piled up, and she’s been forced to spend time fighting unsubstantiated charges instead of serving the people of Minnesota.

The fact that any president, or any administration, is willing to engage in such transparent efforts to intimidate someone should outrage all Americans, regardless of how they feel about Congresswoman Omar’s political views. Because if this becomes the new normal, there’s no reason to believe it will stop with her — or that future presidents, in either party, won’t do the same.

Climate change is threatening more than homes and livelihoods in the Pacific; it is disrupting Indigenous cultures, traditions and ancestral ties.

Indigenous lawyer Julian Aguon says: “The harms aren’t just environmental.”

History does not wait for the doubtful. It calls each generation to its moment. This is ours.

The climate crisis will not be measured only in degrees Celsius. It will be measured in the price of food, the cost of energy, and whether our homes, schools and roads can withstand a changing world. Every great advance was once called impossible, until courageous people made it real.

To the first class of the Paris Climate School, I offered this charge. Use your knowledge to lift people from poverty, confront injustice and create opportunity. The future must not remain at the mercy of the few. It belongs to a global humanity brave enough to act.

A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT.

He knows his time is running out.

So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour.

He died 5 months later.

This is that lecture.

The most important hour you'll watch this week. 👇
