“If you can’t see it for the circus it is, you’re part of the problem.” From COPtimist to sceptic, @willrworley reflects on the dysfunction that was #COP29 – and tries to scrub away the sense of “being somewhat unclean for having participated” at all. https://t.co/klNkJZsNx9
The community gathered after the viewing and church service to honor Erixon’s life and legacy. His parents spoke lovingly about him, sharing how sweet and kind he was, always smiling—a quality that earned him the nickname “Gentil,” meaning sweet or kind in French. This gathering is a powerful reminder of the love and unity he inspired. We will forever remember his warmth and gentle spirit as we continue to seek justice for his untimely loss. #JusticeForErixon #CommunityUnity #WeWantAnswers #HonoringHisLegacy #GentilForever

A scary thought: When the genocide in Gaza eventually ends, we will still have to live in a world where those who perpetrated, armed, financed, justified and shielded it will present themselves as the face of a "humanitarian" response and expect us to politely engage with them.
