Protests have taken place around the world calling for action to avert environmental catastrophe.
From London to Sydney, here's a look at some of the millions of people joining the global youth climate strike.
People shared some of their favorite signs on Twitter as well:
In Adams’ take, viewers see him shaving, ironing a dress shirt, making a smoothie, eating fresh fruit, and departing Gracie Mansion in the Chevrolet Suburban High Country that serves as his official ride around the city.
You can see his video below.
But eagle-eyed viewers noticed something off. A black-and-white wall clock in Adams’ kitchen suggests the mayor’s day may have started later than he claimed. As he prepares his smoothie, the clock clearly shows 11 a.m.—even though the video’s on-screen timestamp says 9 a.m.

The commentary was hilarious.
Adams' support in New York City's general election is languishing in the low double digits, according to a new poll from political consulting firm Slingshot Strategies.
The survey shows Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani leading the field with 35% of the vote, followed by former Gov. Andrew Cuomo at 25%, Curtis Sliwa with 14%, and Adams trailing with just 11%.
The numbers reflect a dramatic erosion of support across key demographics. Once-reliable backers appear to be turning away: only 16% of Black respondents said they would support Adams in a general election. In a striking twist, his strongest showing came from Republican voters, 26% of whom said they would back the mayor.
Adams’ campaign spokesperson Todd Shapiro dismissed the poll's findings, calling it "just another example of how out-of-touch and unreliable political polling has become."
Early in the discussion with Hamilton College President Steven Tepper, the 44th POTUS said:
"There have been a lot of injustices and bad ideas in the world that lasted a pretty long time. Then eventually you get a breakthrough. Then sometimes after the breakthrough, folks decide they want to go back to bad ideas, and then you got to go back at it."
In regards to his relationship to his predecessors and successors, he stated:
"There are some bonds that transcend party, region, or ideology. There was a creed that we all stuck to."
"That basic notion of American democracy as embodied in our Constitution and our Bill of Rights said, all of us count, all of us have dignity, all of us have worth that we’re going to set up a system in which there’s rule of law and separation of powers and an independent judiciary."
"There are these freedoms, a freedom of worship and freedom of the press and an assurance that if we go before the law, there will be an impartial process to make decisions. We all stuck to that, more or less."
"I do believe that our commitment to those principles has eroded..."
The former POTUS then addressed the Trump administration's intimidation tactics against colleges, universities, the press, and private law firms, saying he was "troubled by the idea that a White House" would stoop to such levels, driven largely by the ego and insecurities of one man.
President Obama shared:
"I think one of the most important aspects of our democratic practice is having a well-informed citizenry which is reliant on a free, objective, effective press, and that started getting attacked."
"...I’m more deeply concerned with a federal government that threatens universities if they don’t give up students who are exercising their right to free speech."
"I am more troubled by the idea that a White House can say to law firms, 'If you represent parties that we don’t like, we’re going to pull all our business or bar you from representing people effectively.'"
He then added:
"That kind of behavior is contrary to the basic compact we have as Americans."
"Imagine if I had done any of this."
That clearly resonated with the audience based on the reaction it elicited.

President Obama said that under Trump, maintaining integrity may require losing federal funding:
"If you are a university, you may have to figure out, are we in fact doing things right? Have we in fact violated our own values, our own code, violated the law in some fashion."
"If not, and you’re just being intimidated, well, you should be able to say, that's why we got this big endowment."

He also touched on Trump punishing the Associated Press for using the Gulf of Mexico—the name that predates the founding of the three countries that border the body of water—instead of Trump's new name.
President Obama said:
"Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials from the White House press corps."
"You’re laughing, but this is what’s happening."
People agreed completely with President Obama's assessment of the hypocrisy of the GOP and MAGA.

It's also a sentiment many people have echoed.

You can watch President Obama's full six minutes speaking on the topic here:
While everyone can answer what the GOP and MAGA would have done, based on their reaction to President Barack Obama just existing, it's also true no Democratic administration would do what's on the Project 2025/Trump agenda.
The things that are happening that violate the United States Constitution should be wrong no matter who does it.
Let's embrace that concept again.
Speaking to a reporter, Pascal advocated:
"It’s important to protect people, especially those simply asking for the right to exist in bodies that belong to them and in the world that they never asked to be brought into."
"It’s a very, very small, vulnerable, inspiring, courageous, and brave community that fills me with a lot of inspiration. Therefore, it’s very important to protect that. They would do that for us."

@pinknews Pedro Pascal has once again spoken out for the trans community at the premier of The Fantastic Four: First Steps. On the red carpet for the film in Berlin, Pascal was asked why it's so important to stand up for the trans community, to which he responded: "It's important to stand up for those who are simply asking for the right to exist." This isn't the first time Pedro Pascal has stood up for the trans community. Earlier this year he trolled transphobes in his Instagram comments, he regularly shows support for his trans sister, Lux Pascal, and has most recently spoken out multiple times against JK Rowling. #pedropascal #jkrowling #fantasticfour #transcommunity #transrights #lgbtqia
Pascal began loudly and proudly speaking up for the transgender community when his sister, Lux, came out as trans, though he's undeniably been an ally to the LGBTQ+ community for a very long time.
Pascal spoke out against JK Rowling celebrating what her husband called "TERF VE Day" after she donated $96K to the anti-LGBTQ+ group For Women Scotland, and the U.K. Supreme Court issued a judgement calling for "sex" and "woman" to be identified strictly as "biological sex" and "biological woman," fully excluding transgender individuals.
When she shared her celebratory post on Twitter (X), Pascal called her behavior "awful, disgusting s**t... Heinous, loser behavior." Rowling scoffed in the comments and called Pascal a "trier."
Pascal, of course, did not let this deter him and "tried" again days later, appearing in public in a "Protect the Dolls" t-shirt, which refers to and honors transgender women. Created by Connor Ives, sales of the shirt fund Trans Lifeline.
Most recently, during an interview with Vanity Fair, Pascal revealed himself as a concerned ally.
"The one thing I agonised over a little bit was, am I helping? Am I f**king helping?"
"It's a situation that deserves the utmost elegance so that something can actually happen and people will actually be protected."
"I want to protect the people I love. but it goes beyond that. Bullies make me f**king sick."
TikTok showed its support.

Pedro Pascal is being mindful of how he approaches not just supporting the trans community but also in how he addresses those who stand against them, and that's something we all need to practice.
By continuously speaking up about the LGBTQ+ community and specifically the transgender community, visually representing with T-shirts, and moving focus from himself to the communities he supports at major red carpet events, Pascal is undeniably using his platform for good.
