What’s unfolding in Iran may be the most consequential and underreported story in the world. Free elections there won’t just be a human rights victory. The fall of the Ayatollahs will release tens of millions of people, who come from one of the most creative civilizations in history. Iranian culture has shaped art, science and innovation for centuries. Suppressing it hurts not just Iranians, but humanity as a whole.
Footage obtained by Iran International shows thousands of protesters marching in the streets of Tehran on Sunday, as anti-government demonstrations continue across Iran.
BREAKING: Governor Gavin Newsom replaces Donald Trump on the world stage by announcing that he will attend the United Nations climate summit in Brazil that the MAGA leader refused to send a delegation to.
Big Oil owns Trump but they don't own his ascendant arch-nemesis...
COP30, the conference in question, will be held on Friday and Newsom will be the highest-profile American government official in attendance. The appearance, which will supercharge interest in his 2028 presidential run, comes in the wake of his historic redistricting victory on Tuesday.
The governor told Politico that he's making the trip “because of the complete abdication of the Trump administration that is joining the Saudis and Russia and the Gulf states.”
“It’s doubled down on hydrocarbons as the rest of the world is sprinting ahead on low-carbon green growth,” he said. “For me, it is about our economic competitiveness, period, full stop.”
Newsom's angle here is a smart one. Climate change is an existential crisis for the survival of our species, but it's also an enormous economic opportunity for those countries that are willing to adopt clean energy quickly and efficiently. Either the United States rises to meet demand or China will.
Trump has repeatedly dismissed climate change as a "hoax" and a "con job" despite the overwhelming evidence and proliferation of extreme weather events. Fossil fuel companies helped foist him into power and he's paying them back tenfold at the cost of our planet.
“I just want to make sure everyone understands we’re maybe 2,000 miles from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., but we’re a world away in terms of our mindset on these issues,” Newsom added.
Tens of thousands of diplomats, scientists, experts, and activists are attending the conference which will unfold over two weeks in Belém, a city close to the mouth of the Amazon River. Newsom will have a strong legacy to tout during his trip since California has been leading America in renewable energy on numerous fronts.
The rest of the world is eager to speak with the United States and so Newsom will have an opportunity to boost his international standing even further—
“The U.S. will not play a major role. The world is collectively outraged, and so we will focus — as will everyone else — on engaging in talks with those who are driving the process forward," said Jochen Flasbarth, undersecretary in the German Ministry of Environmental Affairs."
Thanks to Gavin Newsom, the world doesn't have to count America out just yet. We need not surrender our global leadership. It's time to recommit to our responsibilities.
Please retweet and ❤️ to thank Gavin Newsom!
This was always the plan.
Project 2025 was Donald Trump's blueprint to seize unchecked power within the federal government and restrict Americans' freedoms. And he is implementing it right in front of our eyes.

He does not care about you.

NEW: Former Republican Lt. Gov. of Georgia Geoff Duncan announces he’s leaving the GOP to join the Democrats:
“I have been receiving phone calls and conversations and cups of coffee from Democrats, independents and even some common sense Republicans who are sick and tired of watching not only the direction of this party, but this country — encouraging me to look into seeking higher office. And it’s something I’ll seriously consider,” Duncan said
My Democratic colleagues and I just left the state of Texas to break quorum and stop Trump’s redistricting power grab.
Trump is trying to rig the midterm elections right before our eyes. But first he’ll have to come through us.
It’s time to fight back.
