Canada is on fire.
Europe is on fire.
The Amazon is on fire.
Cities are breaking heat records.
Rivers are drying up.
Other countries are drowning in floods.
Storms are getting stronger.
Seasons don’t feel like seasons anymore.
And somehow…
climate change is still a debate.
I live in Alberta, every August for the last 6-7 years our skies have been orange and our air thick with smoke from California wildfires.
Not once did we threaten or even blame America.
When I heard about Senator Graham’s death last night, the first thing I thought about was not all the things he said and did in service of Donald Trump. I thought of the time before Donald Trump when he was a brother to Senator John McCain.
A time when senators from different parties could fight about politics and still be friends. A time when a conservative Republican from South Carolina could say of my father: “If you can’t admire Joe Biden as a person, you’ve got a problem. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in politics. As good a man as God ever created.”
That is the Senator Graham I will remember today. Not because I have forgotten what came after. Because in that memory there is hope. Hope for a country where brothers can fight like hell over policy and still share a meal, and a laugh, and the loss of the people they love.
I will choose to remember the time before Trump. Because I believe in an America after Trump.
Mark Zuckerberg built a COLOSSAL data center in Georgia — literally hundreds of yards from families’ backyards.
Water pressure has tanked. Faucets barely drip. Toilets won’t refill. Houses shake nonstop from the vibrations and blackouts are now routine.
One billionaire gets his servers humming at full speed… while working families get crushed.
This is straight-up unacceptable.
Israeli settlers armed with clubs, rocks and a knife blocked our way and attacked us & another group of journalists today in the occupied West Bank.
At the same location where settlers beat US citizen Saif Musallet to death, exactly one year ago today.
Our full report will air on @CNN on Monday.

I was there with Rep. Khanna as an expert on settler violence.
Armed settlers were the first to arrive, and then, as has become the norm, Israeli soldiers joined them. Together they detained the delegation for over an hour
The IDF is lying and not for the first time.
This photo must be seen by the entire world so people understand what Russia truly is.
A mother is holding her child as tightly as she can, trying to shield them with her own body while Russia drops guided аerial bоmbs on Sumy.
No child should grow up in a reality like this. No mother should have to become a human shield to protect her child.
Ro and I visited the destroyed village of Zanuta and the site of an EU-funded school that got burned down by settlers.
It was here that we got intercepted and captured by settlers wielding American-made rifles. The IDF showed up to back up the settlers, not the U.S. congressman.
If a U.S. Congressman can be forcibly detained by Israeli settlers in the West Bank, what do you think is happening to the Palestinians who live there?
Sadly, we know the answer.
Despite massive campaign spending by AIPAC, members of Congress must be very clear. NO MORE U.S. MILITARY AID TO THE EXTREMIST NETANYAHU GOVERNMENT.
No living calves born. All stillborn calves, since d[ata] centers were built near the land of farmers. The noise coming from them, are causing stillbirths. If these are the effects these centers have on mammals, what are they doing to pregnant human mothers
😡🤬😤
Israeli settlers, brandishing American made M4s, detained me & other Americans on my trip to Palestine.
When the IDF arrived, they sided with the settlers & continued our detention.
They made a huge mistake.
You will be hearing more soon. https://t.co/rZw8bRAn64
Maga is apparently now boycotting going to NYC because they hate the mayor. They say they will never go there again. I mean is this guy fucking amazing or what? That place is going to be a fucking paradise now
There is so much diversity in the new recruits sworn in to the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division. There are white men, white women, tall white people, short white people, white people with glasses, white people without glasses, white people with blonde hair and white brunettes!.
Norway beat Israel 5-0 in the World Cup qualifiers and then donated the prize money they won to Gaza and that’s why everyone should be rooting for them.
@NYCMayor@ZohranKMamdani Not too often I get to say this to a politician & it’s early but keep doing what you’re doing. Don’t disappoint, show things can be done differently & improve lives.
It went from “he’s going to usher in the apocalypse” to having to resort to “he broke pool rules”.
Keep it up!
