    From the weekend, I wrote about the relocation of the Indigenous Guna people in Panama to the mainland. They welcomed me when I visited their islands back in 2022 and have been thinking about their survival and story of climate migration since. 1/

    Climate change is when the Gulf is still recovering from Hurricane Laura & a new storm is set to make landfall as a hurricane, while there are at least 4 other storms brewing in the Atlantic as the West Coast continues to burn & residents suffer from hazardous air ...

    I'm beyond thrilled to announce that today is my first day as a writer on @CNN's new climate team!!✨ I couldn't have done it without a support system, but wanted to especially thank my friend & mentor @saeed_ahmed who basically made me part of his CNN legacy before leaving.

    For the first time on record, precipitation at the summit of Greenland fell as rain — not snow. It dumped 7 billion tons of water on the ice sheet, enough to fill the Reflecting Pool at the National Mall in DC, nearly 250,000 times.

    As we near "AAPI" month, remember .... Asian American Pacific Islander ❌ Asian American *AND* Pacific Islander ✅ The former further ostracizes and overshadows the voices and experiences of Pacific Islanders. Please.

    Indigenous voters may have been key in flipping battleground states like Arizona and Wisconsin for Democrats. “If it hadn’t been for the tribal nations, Biden truly wouldn’t be in office," one organizer told me. My latest on how they did it:

    A very important story. From the "model minority” to "Black criminality” stereotypes, here's how white supremacy have long tried to divide Black and Asian communities — obscuring a long history of Black-Asian solidarity. My latest w/ @JerusalemDemsas:
