How do I live, when I’m neither here nor there?’
Abel Ortiz arrived in the US when he was only two months old. He went on to live for 38 years in Los Angeles, rarely stepping outside the city.
Until Donald Trump came along, casting undocumented people like him as public enemy No 1, Ortiz perceived himself to be wholly American.
But last August, that changed. He packed two bags and left behind a thriving hair salon business, his best friend and a community he had cultivated over decades.
“I’ve done the hardest thing I ever could,” Ortiz says. “There are days when I feel literally insane with the duality of it.”
When film-maker Isabel Castro and her producers Jamie Gonçalves and Brian Donahoe, both Ortiz’s clients, learned he was leaving, they followed their instincts and instantly began filming.
The result is a 14-minute Guardian documentary that captures Abel’s poignant final week in LA.

Why do you think Gen Z is having less sex?
This was the question Carter Sherman, the host of the Guardian’s upcoming podcast Stateside, asked people on the streets of Austin recently.
From spending too much time on their phones to being simply too overwhelmed to make it a priority, this is what they had to say.

‘This is where I need to be right now’
Against the backdrop of Zohran Mamdani’s rise is a dynamic scene of Muslim creatives and intellectuals who are helping define a new era for New York City.
Their prominence represents a rebuke of the ugly Islamophobia that defined the period following 9/11, and is in many ways an outcrop of the mass movement for Palestinian rights forged over the last two years.
Muslim New Yorkers came to understand that without leaders at the table, their concerns were easily dismissible. And so the last decades have seen an intensifying period of grassroots organizing.
“In this country, outsiders have always fought their way in,” says the political strategist Waleed Shahid, now Mamdani’s deputy communications director of economic justice.
We asked 18 of them to discuss their work and what this moment means. Swipe to read some of their answers and follow the link in bio to read the full story.

Datacentres have become a dirty word and a political issue in much of the world – especially the US, where opposition to them was said to be a factor in the recent midterm election.
But in Sweden, not so much.
There is a familiar litany of reasons why datacentres are bad: they are being built without the consent or knowledge of local people; they consume vast amounts of land, electricity and water, with knock-on effects for communities and the environment; they provide no jobs and enrich rapacious tech companies.
What’s remarkable is how little any of those arguments apply in Sweden, especially in Falun. If your abiding image of a datacentre is something like xAI’s Colossus facility in Tennessee, built at lightning speed with little public notice, partly powered by banks of unpermitted, methane gas-burning temporary generators, releasing huge amounts of CO2 and harmful pollutants into the atmosphere and the community, then EcoDataCenter is practically the polar opposite.
The company’s electricity supply is 100% renewable: 75% from hydroelectric power and 25% from wind. Sweden’s power mix as a whole is virtually carbon-free – just 1% of it comes from fossil fuels. (In the EU as a whole, the figure is 29%; in the US it is 55%).
“Compared with a traditional datacentre built with steel and concrete, we lower the embodied carbon of the full structure by three times," said John Wernvik, of EcoDataCenter.

The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a national ground stop “due to extraordinary circumstance and reasons of safety” after the agency earlier reported serious air traffic control communications issues.
The US transportation secretary and former Fox News host, Sean Duffy, has confirmed that all flights are grounded at US airports “following a communication issue impacting all Air Route Traffic Control Centers,” in a statement posted on social media. “FAA technicians are investigating the issue,” Duffy added.
In addition to the grounding of all flights, the FAA had advised all airborne flights to circle along a predetermined routes, instead of landing due to “equipment outages”.

Colorado's controversial Republican representative Lauren Boebert has been defeated in her re-election bid.
The gun rights advocate, born-again Christian and one-time QAnon fan lost to Democrat Eileen Laubacher by a less than 1% margin, according to the Associated Press. This district, which spans the eastern plains of Colorado, is one of the state’s most conservative seats and has long been a Republican stronghold.
Boebert’s tenure in Congress has been racked with controversy. She decried the 2020 presidential election as being rigged, demanded to carry a handgun on the House floor and was accused of helping incite the January 6 insurrection by tweeting “Today is 1776” the morning of the riots, among other actions. Boebert later condemned the attack on the Capitol.
And just weeks before the election, she was hit by an ethics complaint over allegations she had sexual relationships with three staffers and had paid one to stay silent, allegations she has denied and called “politically motivated”.
Laubacher became a registered Democrat in 2025, saying in a debate with Boebert the Republican party had become “nearly unrecognizable”.

Exclusive: The world is now firmly in “the age of electricity”, said Fatih Birol, the world’s leading energy economist.
Electricity now fulfills about a quarter of most energy needs while three-quarters of final energy worldwide is supplied by fossil fuels, mostly for transport, heating and industrial uses. Global electricity was increasingly generated by renewable sources and that process would speed up even faster over the next decades, Birol said.
“We will still use oil and gas, but the dominant source of energy is becoming electricity,” Birol told the Guardian in an interview at the Cop31 UN climate summit in Turkey.
“One staggering number [is that] in the last 10 years, the world has added about 5,000 gigawatts of electricity. And we expect, in a very conservative way, in the next 10 years, about 12,000 gigawatts, more than two times more than what we had in the last 10 years.”
Transport is being electrified at an unprecedented rate: outside China, sales of electric cars have risen by 60% in the last nine months, the IEA has found. The growth of AI datacenters is also spurring electricity generation, as is the rapid growth in air conditioning, according to Birol, as heatwaves grow more intense and more frequent under rising global temperatures.

Will Tucker Carlson run for president?
At the recent @crookedmedia political conference, Crooked Con, Matt Bernstein (@mattxiv), host of A Bit Fruity, joined Carter Sherman to discuss Carlson’s future, his stance on Israel and why he represents where the Republican party is going.
“For anyone who’s, like, a little excited about, ‘Well, maybe Tucker could be good for the Republican party,’ it’s dark,” Bernstein told Carter.

Rich Logis was once one of the Maga’s most “devoted” members.
The movement, associated with Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan, calls for economic nationalism, secure borders and conservative values, and has been described by detractors as a cult of Trump.
Logis said he thought of himself as a “patriotic soldier in this political war between Maga and everyone else” – one in which he saw Trump “as the general”.
But when Logis left the movement in 2021, he went through a personal reckoning about his own complicity with how Trump and the Maga movement have “traumatized” the US – leading him to establish his group @leavingmaga to give people an “off-ramp” from the movement.
“We do encounter those who will sometimes say, ‘We’ll never forgive and we’ll never forget,’ and I understand and acknowledge where those individuals are coming from,” Logis says. But, he adds, “if we’re going to strengthen democracy and push back against the Trump administration … it is better to form alliances than for us to remain alienated from each other”.
Watch to find out more about Logis’s story and how he’s trying to normalise “changing one’s mind”, and head to the link in bio to read more about those who have chosen to leave Maga behind.

Dozens of protesters with the Sunrise Movement were arrested after staging a sit-in inside Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer’s Washington DC office this week.
According to the youth climate organization, 54 people were arrested, among a few hundred who joined the protest from across the country, including some from New York, which Schumer represents.
In a video clip, protestors sitting on the office floor chanted: “Hey hey, ho ho, Schumer has got to go!” Protesters, including children, held signs reading “The filibuster kills,” “Stop the climate crisis,” and “Schumer: Step up or step aside.”
The protesters also delivered a letter to Schumer arguing, per the group’s press release, that “after a collective decade of Schumer leadership it was time for change” and demanding Democrats prioritize ending the filibuster when Congress returns in January.
They also dropped the letters at the offices of every Senate Democrat. According to the Sunrise Movement’s campaigns director, Kidus Girma, the protest is one of several planned over the next two weeks targeting Senate Democrats and “demanding they actually take action”.

After the House attempted to impeach Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump has to be worried his comeuppance is on its way, writes Guardian columnist Arwa Mahdawi.
"Trump has already made history by being the only president to have been impeached twice: in 2019 and 2021. In both cases, the Senate acquitted him," she writes.
"But now that Democrats have control of government, could Trump become the first president to be removed from office through impeachment?"
