quote:

After co-host Sunny Hostin celebrated the fact that Romney became the first senator in history to vote to remove a president of his own party, McCain jumped in to announce that she was “conflicted” over Romney’s actions.

Noting that she knows the former GOP presidential nominee is a person of faith and conscience, she also wanted to point out that it wasn’t that long ago when Romney was angling to join the Trump administration.

“I like when anyone bucks a party,” she stated. “I will always respect it and I think it took big cojones to do that yesterday but it doesn’t take much courage right now to do anything that’s not going to have any impact. President Trump was acquitted yesterday. I just think Mitt Romney, I want to trust him but would he still feel that way if Trump gave him his Secretary of State position?”

The conservative host went on to say she’s not sure she can “100 percent trust him” because of his history as a “flip-flopper,” prompting Goldberg to exclaim that she’s just “glad somebody stood up and said no.”

“But that’s what he wants!” McCain shot back.

It's not that the take itself is hot so much as I can't believe I'm hearing it from this person in particular.

Even being present doesn’t always mean being seen or heard. Last week Ugandan activist Vanessa Nakate found herself cropped from a picture and dialogue as the only African on a youth panel in the Davos World Economic Forum. She said the erasure “showed how we are valued.”

Many other climate activists of colour have described similar experiences of tokenism. Māori and disability rights campaigner Kera Sherwood-O’Regan (Kāi Tahu iwi from Te Waipounamu) found that as an Indigenous person at the UN climate conferences, organizers would suggest showing support and “passing the mic,” but the same people would be the ones taking up space in negotiations and speaking to the media.

Sometimes it’s being asked time and again what whiteness, capitalism, and inequality have to do with climate change.

Other times it’s more major, like how activists here promote veganism as the single biggest way to reduce their carbon footprint, but ignore how people have been killed after protesting against the sourcing of plant-based foods like palm oil on Indigenous lands.

The movement’s failure to address these inequalities is ultimately why I found myself needing to walk away.

In recent years, the Philippines has had the highest number of environmental defenders murdered, where arrests and disappearances have been attributed to combating “communist insurgency.” Targeted groups include the Filipino research NGO I volunteered with during the UN climate conference in Bonn, Germany, and the Filipino women's collective Gabriela, which I also worked with in Berlin before I stepped back.

lol maybe read that again

Anti-racism and anti-capitalism need to be made part of organizing. If “Green” policies fail to consider anti-racism and migrant rights, how is any person of colour supposed to feel voting for them or organizing in the same spaces?

no it's cool you can just walk away from climate change

H.P. Hovercraft posted:

people who are rich enough to treat activism like a hobby and get an article published about turning their back on local gaming stores don't see climate change as an existential threat

criticizing the movement is fine, but that person is clearly justifying dropping it

Lightning Knight posted:

you realize that her bio is in the footnotes and her twitter is right there right.

just because you breathlessly came in to misrepresent her point to own the idpol doesn’t mean everyone else can’t just look up the article you doofus

spoiler: she didn’t actually stop being a climate activist, it’s being dramatic to make a point while writing what a concept
