The NYT headline "The Planet is Failing" is a masterclass in passive, apolitical framing. The planet is not spontaneously "failing", as if it's the planet's fault. It is actively being destroyed. And it is being destroyed by our economic system and those who run it.

Excited & honored to have been part of @TEDCountdown with so many #climatechampions, sharing ideas on how the #ocean is a hero, not victim, in the climate story, & an essential part of meeting the Paris targets. Let's make it an explicit part of the solutions at #COP26!

#BREAKINGNEWS We are quadrupling the climate aid NZ provides to the countries most affected by the climate crisis.
We will provide $1.3b over the next 4 years with at least 50% going to the Pacific. This means NZ is now providing its fair share towards global climate funding.

It takes a strong stomach to read this story. What this country allows to happen to Black children is a disgrace. As always, there is an economy organized around Black suffering and misery...here it requires filling juvenile beds for the right price.
