The movie ‘Don’t Look Up’ eerily mirrored reality this week when a climate activist appeared on the UK morning show ‘Good Morning Britain.’
So we put real life and the movie side by side for all to see. 👀

- We’ve covered the global rise of the far-right on this show for some time. But if you think Le Pen and Orban are dangerous, let @mehdirhasan tell you a little about India's prime minister, Narendra Modi:
00:00 - Mike Pompeo is trying to rewrite history with Afghanistan. But don’t worry, we use the magic of TV to set the record straight.
00:00 - "Don't call yourself a free person if you can't make changes. If you can't stop a genocide that is still ongoing" - @azaizamotaz9's message to Americans.
00:00 - .@mehdirhasan: "The president of the United States has told more than 20,000 lies, untruths and falsehoods since coming to office nearly 4 years ago. And tonight he added to the list; oh, he added to it big time."
00:00 - .@RashidaTlaib responds to attacks on progressive Democrats: "Look I want to feed the poor. I want to make sure we are not picking corporations over people. I want to make sure that we have equity in education funding in our school system...Nothing's going to change."
00:00 - In 2016, "We were told that we need to reach out to understand" Trump voters, says @WajahatAli. "I have not heard... anybody say, 'Hey Trump voters, reach out to 80 million of your fellow Americans and please understand *their* frustrations and why they voted for Joe Biden.'"
00:00 - Pakistan’s role in Afghanistan hasn’t come without controversy, but @Hina_RKhar wants people to focus on where the country is at today. “1996 and 2021 Pakistan are very different...Please do not judge the Pakistan of 2021 by the role that Pakistan played in 1996.”
00:00 - .@PeterHotez responds to being asked to debate anti-vaxxer RFK Jr. "Anti-vaccine disinformation...is now a lethal force in the United States. I offered to go on Joe Rogan but not to turn it into the Jerry Springer show with having RFK Jr. on."
00:00 - "What's happening right now is a total dismantling of our democracy... we are standing on the edge of darkness." Former Pakistani prime minister @ImranKhanPTI sounds the alarm to @mehdirhasan on the state of democracy, freedom, and human rights in Pakistan.
00:00 - It's "claustrophobic to arrive here in the U.S. and to have people live in some kind of denial” about the rise of far-right Hindu nationalism in India, @RanaAyyub says."There is this comfortable and convenient ignorance about what’s happening."
00:00 - Dr. Monica Ganhdi has been outspoken, at several stages, about where she thought the pandemic would be headed. @mehdirhasan asks her if it’s time for her to stop making such broad forecasts. WATCH:
00:00 - “I was due to lose my life multiple times." Palestinian photojournalist @azaizamotaz9 talks to @mehdirhasan about the reality of reporting from Gaza, where a record number of journalists have been killed.
00:00 - .@kurtbardella: “Let the record show that our national nightmare began with drunk Rudy espousing advice that the president of the United States decided to follow instead of listening to, oh I don’t know, everybody else in the room that was sober and telling him the truth.”
