There is no better time to consider what needs to be put in place to ensure that the most marginalised are not the worst affected by corporate misconduct from asbestos pollution to climate change https://t.co/V3LWhm3BlC

Loss and damage is a big conversation at COP27. Rich countries are responsible for 90% of the excess emissions that are causing climate breakdown. Social movements in the global South are rightly demanding compensation for the damage this is causing. https://t.co/QhkvV3WFVi

Exactly. As if xenophobia is always inevitable.

[PIGGINS @PigginPiggins]

Saw this wonderful clip of Sir Jonathan Miller tearing up Enoch Powell's divisive rhetoric on the Dick Cavett show, reminding us all that we don’t have to accept racism and xenophobia in our politics. We should see it for what it is, and call it out. Always.

@GretaThunberg tells @JackieLongc4 that indigenous people on the frontlines of the climate crisis are leading the fight against climate change.

"Green capitalism" means turning the global South into a giant sacrifice zone so rich folks in the US and Europe can drive electric SUVs.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

If the British media devoted even a fraction of their royal-family coverage to remembering the tens of millions of people who were victims of imperialist crimes committed under their reign, and in their names, our society, and our grasp on history, would be dramatically improved.
