Jennifer Lawrence says what's happening in Palestine "is no less than a genocide and it's unacceptable."

"I’m terrified and it’s mortifying... I’m terrified for my children, for all of our children. On top of everything else, what makes me so sad is that this disrespect and the discourse in American politics right now is going to be normal to them. I mean, the kids who are voting right now at 18, it’s going to be totally normal to them that politics has no integrity. Politicians lie, there is no empathy. And everybody needs to remember that when you ignore what’s happening on one side of the world, it won’t be long until it’s on your side as well. I wish that there was something I could say, something that I could do to fix this extremely complex and disgraceful situation. It breaks my heart. But the reality is, our fear in speaking too much or answering too many of these questions is that my words will just be used to add more fire and rhetoric to something that is in the hands of our elected officials. And I just want people to stay focused on who is responsible and the things that they can do and when they need to show up and vote and not let the actors and the artists who are trying to express freedom of art, freedom of speech take the heat for the individuals who are actually responsible."

This summer, a group of mostly millennial Democrats, coördinating with Maine labor leaders, community activists, and volunteers, many of them Bernie Sanders campaign alums, scouted the state for a candidate who could unseat Susan Collins. These Democrats thought that the five-term, 72-year-old Republican senator was vulnerable: her approval ratings were down, and Kamala Harris had won the state in 2024. After they saw a video featuring a local oyster farmer and former marine, Graham Platner—made by a conservancy in 2020, to stop a commercial salmon farm from building in the bay—they decided that he was exactly what they were looking for: a working-class guy with a military background and a deep connection to Maine. They asked him if he would run.

Platner and his wife, Amy Gertner, were taken by surprise by their interest. “They’re, like, ‘We think that right now Susan Collins is uniquely weak,’ ” he told me. “We think the Democrats are going to choose a bad candidate for this race specifically, and we think that you’re a good candidate for this. And Amy and I promptly told them, ‘That’s fu***ng insane. We work full time. We don’t have any money.’ . . . We’re just normal fu***ng people who have very busy schedules, and running for U.S. Senate is the most ridiculous thing that I could’ve ever heard for myself.” The scouting group told Platner and Gertner that they had two weeks to think it over. “About three days into it, we were, like, ‘All right, we don’t really want to, but we might have to,’ ” Platner said. “This might be another sacrifice that needs to be made in the service of the country.”

“It’s too early to say whether this relatively unknown oyster farmer can carry his current momentum all the way to the Senate, but some people think he can,” Lisa Wood Shapiro writes. A recent internal poll has Platner ahead of Collins by 12 points. Can he make the leap from harbormaster to senator? Read more: https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/YYqcUc

French President Emmanuel Macron said it was out of line for Charles Kushner, the U.S. ambassador to France and the father of President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, to publicly accuse him of taking insufficient action to combat antisemitism, and for him to link France’s foreign policy positions to domestic incidents of violence against Jews in France.

“If you are a diplomat, you have to follow the rule of diplomacy. … The [American] taxpayer money is not properly used to finance this kind of statement,” Macron said on Face The Nation on Sunday.

At Trader Joe’s, nothing good goes to waste. Through its Neighborhood Shares Program, the company donates all of its unsold but still edible food every single day.

Because sometimes, small everyday choices like where you shop can help fuel a much bigger impact. 🌎❤️

Democratic mayoral nominee in New York City, Zohran Mamdani, is set to announce that he’s cancelling a televised town hall with WABC News planned for Sept. 25 in the wake of the network suspending comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show last week, reports amNewYork.

FIGHTING BACK: Variety is now reporting that 400 celebrities, from Tom Hanks to Jennifer Aniston, Meryl Streep, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jason Bateman and more, have teamed up with the ACLU to slam Jimmy Kimmel's suspension.

“We now find ourselves in a modern McCarthy era, facing exactly the type of heavy-handed government censorship our Constitution rightfully forbids. The silencing of Jimmy Kimmel and jawboning of media outlets through lawsuits and threats to their licenses evoke dark memories of the 1950s,” said Anthony D. Romero, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union, which organized the letter, in a prepared statement. “We must remember, however, that Senator McCarthy was ultimately disgraced and neutralized once Americans mobilized and stood up to him. We must do the same today because, together, our voices are louder and, together, we will fight to be heard.”
