Salam!
Yes, baleh, yes, baleh…it happened finally this week: President Obama spoke with Hassan Rouhani, the Iranian president, over the phone. My two presidents broke a 34-year freeze of no direct communication! I don’t care who initiated this telephone conversation, and I don’t care about the content of this conversation. The fact that the two gentlemen talked with each other is a great step towards breaking down the wall between the two countries: L’ Iran and L’ America.

Dear friends,
In 24 hours, the world’s top scientists will release the most important report in decades: proving once and for all that climate change is a massive threat, but that government action now can stop catastrophe. It’s a global wake up call to save our planet, but big oil and dirty energy have a powerful bully who’s rallying to stop the truth from coming out.
