As a traveler, I'm both a proud American and a citizen of the world — and I've got a few thoughts on this coming election.
This election is deeper than partisanship. It's far more than Republican versus Democrat. In the future, big challenges like pandemics, refugees, and climate change will be blind to borders. They'll be everyone's problem and only solved by working together as a family of nations.
The world needs not American isolation, but American leadership. Not the chaos of Trump, but the stability of @KamalaHarris.

And so we walked away. The interview didn’t happen. As protests continue in Iran and people are being killed, it would have been an important moment to speak with President Raisi. 7/7
40 minutes after the interview had been due to start, an aide came over. The president, he said, was suggesting I wear a headscarf, because it’s the holy months of Muharram and Safar. 3/7
Periodic reminder to the press that if it’s raining and some batshit fascist cult leader says that it isn’t, your job is not to report to us that there are differing views about the weather. It’s to look out the fucking window.
Kyle Rittenhouse isn’t a hero.
Ashli Babbitt isn’t a martyr.
And the people who stormed the Capitol aren’t patriots.
Anyone who tells you otherwise is an idiot and an as*hole.
