"The world must wake up. We face the greatest cascade of crises in our lifetimes."
--U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres
\u201c\u201cI am here to sound the alarm: The world must wake up,\u201d the UN secretary general, Ant\u00f3nio Guterres, said as he opened the General Assembly meeting on Tuesday. He cited war, climate change and the global pandemic as threats that expose glaring inequalities. https://t.co/ya2nhAQBS5\u201d— The New York Times (@The New York Times) 1632247016
Such vaccine apartheid "is a moral indictment of the state of our world," he said, demanding that vaccine doses reach at least 70% of the world's population by the middle of 2022--a plan that he said is entirely possible through cooperation between pharmaceutical companies, the World Health Organization, and other stakeholders.
"We have no time to lose," Guterres said. "To restore trust and inspire hope, we need cooperation, we need dialogue, we need understanding."
Trump and Musk are on an unconstitutional rampage, aiming for virtually every corner of the federal government. These two right-wing billionaires are targeting nurses, scientists, teachers, daycare providers, judges, veterans, air traffic controllers, and nuclear safety inspectors. No one is safe. The food stamps program, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are next. It’s an unprecedented disaster and a five-alarm fire, but there will be a reckoning. The people did not vote for this. The American people do not want this dystopian hellscape that hides behind claims of “efficiency.” Still, in reality, it is all a giveaway to corporate interests and the libertarian dreams of far-right oligarchs like Musk. Common Dreams is playing a vital role by reporting day and night on this orgy of corruption and greed, as well as what everyday people can do to organize and fight back. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support. |
