People are literally fleeing. Kids have lost their schools. Communities have lost their churches. Families have lost their homes. Some have even lost their lives.
And the President-Elect’s response is to politicize it.
We’ll continue to focus on what matters: saving lives and putting out these unprecedented fires.
LEAVE CANADA ALONE!
LEAVE GREENLAND ALONE!
LEAVE THE GULF OF MEXICO ALONE!
FUCK DONALD TRUMP
FUCK DONALD TRUMP
FUCK DONALD TRUMP
FUCK DONALD TRUMP
FUCK DONALD TRUMP
FUCK DONALD TRUMP
FUCK DONALD TRUMP
FUCK DONALD TRUMP
FUCK DONALD TRUMP

Dianne Feinstein will be rightly remembered as a trailblazer—the first woman to serve as mayor of San Francisco and the first woman elected to the Senate from California. But once she broke those barriers and walked through those doors, she got to work.
I first got to know Dianne in the Senate, where she was a fierce advocate for gun safety measures and civil rights. Later, when I was president, I came to rely on her as a trusted partner in the fight to guarantee affordable healthcare and economic opportunity for everyone.
The best politicians get into public service because they care about this country and the people they represent. That was certainly true of Dianne Feinstein, and all of us are better for it. Today Michelle and I are thinking of her daughter, Katherine, and everyone who knew and loved her.
In 1959, police were called to a segregated library when a Black 9-year-old boy trying to check out books refused to leave, after being told the library was not for Black people.
The boy, Ronald McNair, went on to became an astronaut. The library is also now named after him.
On the Titan, five people died on an expensive excursion. Off the coast of Greece, perhaps 500 people fleeing poverty and violence died. The rescue efforts, and the attention paid to each, fueled a debate about the realities of class and ethnicity. https://t.co/z2rWmzXn8H
