DREW WILLIS FOR TIME FOR KIDS
Leading climate activists gathered at the United Nations (U.N.) Youth Climate Summit, in New York City, on September 21. Of about one thousand attendees, 42 were under the age of 18. They were invited to the summit after being nominated by their school or organization. “It’s so amazing, the work that these young people are doing on the ground,” U.N. envoy on youth Jayathma Wickramanayake told TIME for Kids.
Here, the TFK team speaks to nine of the teen climate activists who attended the summit. Learn what motivates them, how they deal with setbacks, and what they are doing to make a difference in their communities and around the world.

We join kid protestors in Toronto as 1.6 million students around the world tell grown-ups to clean up their mess
“As Greta Thunberg said, we have not come here to beg politicians for change,” yelled Sophia Mathur, 11, from a podium in front of Queen’s Park, the Ontario legislature.
“We have come here to show them that change... is... coming!”

Trump’s Golf Costs: $102 Million And Counting, With Taxpayers Picking Up The Tab
Trump promised never to golf. Instead, he’s spent more than twice as many days golfing as Obama at the same point, costing taxpayers over three times as much.
By S.V. Date
Donald Trump’s golf habit has already cost taxpayers at least $102 million in extra travel and security expenses, and next month will achieve a new milestone: a seven-figure presidential visit to another country so he can play at his own course.
U.S. taxpayers have spent $81 million for the president’s two dozen trips to Florida, according to a HuffPost analysis. They spent $17 million for his 15 trips to New Jersey, another $1 million so he could visit his resort in Los Angeles and at least $3 million for his two days in Scotland last summer ― $1.3 million of which went just for rental cars for the massive entourage that accompanies a presi... less

NOEL KING, HOST:
Several congressional Democrats are demanding that Stephen Miller resign. Miller, of course, is one of the president's top advisers on immigration. Here's what's going on. The Southern Poverty Law Center says it got a hold of hundreds of Miller's leaked emails. Miller had sent them to a former journalist at Breitbart, and in them, he talks about white nationalist ideas. The White House is calling this a smear campaign. And Miller, for the moment, isn't saying anything.
Jean Guerrero is a reporter at KPBS. She's been writing a book about Stephen Miller, and she has seen the emails. Good morning, Jean.
JEAN GUERRERO, BYLINE: Good morning.
KING: So what are the specifics here? What's in these emails?
GUERRERO: Yeah. So these are emails that were sent to Breitbart editors in 2015 and 2016. And to me, the most revealing part is that Miller recommended a book called "Camp Of The Saints." It's a racis... less

In real time.Divine sublime or not? He threw it at her and wanted her to respond which she did but I think I'd want not to be confronted with the dementia don bullsh** crap in front of a worldwide audience. Just me. Thee?

I get nervous signing anything since you never know how or where that signature will be used. I never sign any petitions by anyone at any time anywhere for any reason. Ever.Decades ago there was a huge local scandal. Purported Dems were set up outside markets with petitions for something which I did not sign but later on it was discovered they were REPUBLICANS and used those signatures for REPUBLICAN-BASED goals. In other words they lied and cheated and misused the signatures. Ever since then I don't trust anyone wanting me to sign a petition. I know REPUBLICANS have no problemo lying or cheating or betraying their "pals" to support someone they want to win NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES. So I suspect everyone and anyone of being that kind of Republican. A liar. Do you too? less

The human being is not confined to what others have input into their brains. So they are independent creative imaginative and inventive. NO TWO ARE ALIKE among human beings. ALL ARE ALIKE among the robotlike homo saps. So when you've heard it before it's because it's the robot homo sap doing the "speaking". If it's new to you chances are it's a real live human being.

He looks like someone who is trying to pass for white.Somewhere in his ancestry some dillydallying occurred and it shows up in him on him all over him. Like a Republican who "hates" LGBTQ but is closeted. He is trying his best to hate out loud so no one will suspect him of being one of "them". Why else the focus and obsession and fanatic hatred he promulgates? He is very afraid of being outed. Well too late Stephen. Too late. That horse left the barn. Methinks he doth protect too much! less

Empty guns are for show not for actually saving a life. They think appearance is all that counts. Packaging. That's why they are so hilarious. No content no substance no truth no information.

The graphics were mindblowing. It was out of print when I found a copy in a used book store. One of the best scifi things I've ever read and the most mindstretching.Now it is was not their fault they were two-dimensional beings. We are what we are. What was going on in the 3rd dimension was something they could never relate to since it did not exist for them.So that's what's going on here. The dementia don cabal et al really believe their two-dimensional world is all there is. That's why they speak as they speak and act as they act and believe what they believe. They will never be 3-dimensional beings. They are stuck. I dunno how else to explain how disparate their comprehension is from the rest of us. It's gotta be physical psychological limitations which of necessity limits any intellectual grasp of reality. Emotions are limited too as... less
