TALKING ABOUT RACISM YOUR JUNE 22–29 ISSUE was your finest in years. The anchor piece by Justin Worland, “The Overdue Awakening,” was an excellent analysis of where and who we are as a people. The perspectives offered by Von Miller in “I Am George Floyd” and in your interview with Jennifer Eberhardt were incisive and constructive. Implicit bias, to use Eberhardt’s words, I believe rests not only in the machinery of governing but in everyone’s heart. Dale Kueter,CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA RE “INSIDE THE MOVEMENT to ‘Defund the Police’” [June 22–29]: There’s a lot of talk today about “systemic racism,” the notion that racism is embedded in a system as opposed to a particular part of the system. The discussion mostly comes up in a consideration of defunding the police, where the thought is…

Security law brings a chill to Hong Kong

FOR MONTHS, THE MOSAICS OF STICKY NOTES, posters and artwork that dotted Hong Kong told a story of resistance. Pro-democracy protesters and supporters affixed messages of hope, solidarity and demands for greater political freedom to so-called Lennon Walls as protests rocked the city in 2019. But after June 30, when Beijing passed Hong Kong’s national-security law, the walls came down. Books written by pro-democracy leaders like Joshua Wong disappeared from public libraries. Activists deleted social-media accounts. Demosisto, Wong’s political party, disbanded. Nathan Law, a prominent activist and another key member of Demosisto, fled the city, saying his effort to draw international attention to the movement would likely be considered a crime under the new law. “It has already brought a chilling effect … and the politics of fear to Hong Kong,”…

In Turkey, remaking a museum as a mosque

SERAFFETTIN WAS AT HOME UNDER COROnavirus lockdown on May 29 when Quranic verses were recited beneath the normally silent minarets of Istanbul’s Hagia Sophia. The reading, to mark the 567th anniversary of the Ottoman conquest of the city, lingered in his mind weeks after he returned to the courtyard outside Turkey’s most visited attraction. “Hagia Sophia officially belongs to Turkey,” Seraffettin said, outside the UNESCO world heritage site where he has sold simit bread for 15 years. “But we have to understand that people come to visit it from many different countries. We have to let them see and feel their history too.” Like other vendors, he declined to give his full name so he could speak freely. A seat of power for Orthodox Christians for almost 1000 years, the Hagia Sophia…

Trump plans ‘American Heroes’ park With monuments a flash point in the conversation about inequality in the U.S., President Trump called for the construction of a “National Garden of American Heroes.” His July 3 Executive Order mandates that the park include statues of historical and modern figures, from Frederick Douglass to Antonin Scalia. Bolsonaro tests positive for COVID-19 Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro, 65, confirmed on July 7 that he has COVID-19. He took the test, his fourth, on July 6 after developing symptoms. The populist leader has downplayed the risks of the coronavirus, calling it “a little flu”; his country is the second worst-affected in the world.

As COVID-19 soars, Miami resists reclosing

IT HAD BEEN BARELY SIX WEEKS SINCE MICHAEL Beltran and his staff reopened his Miami restaurants when he had to sit them down again and tell them the bad news. Despite all their efforts, working feverish, 20-hour days to reconfigure the spaces for new guidelines amid the rush to reopen, Beltran was now being forced to close again. “I had to look them in the eye and say, ‘You did everything right, but you’re not going to have a job on Wednesday,’” says the chef and restaurant owner. “It’s soul-crushing.” Florida, which now has one of the fastest-growing COVID-19 caseloads in the nation, is struggling to balance its fresh spike with the cost of reclosing. In the early months of the crisis, things had looked good. Despite predictions that spring-break crowds,…

DIED Ennio Morricone Cinematic soundscaper THE 20TH CENTURY WAS THE ERA OF FILM MUSIC, AND THE world just lost one of that century’s true giants. Ask a dozen film composers to name their heroes and you’ll get many different answers, but I would confidently bet that one name would be on every single list. The name of a true, undeniable musical genius: Ennio Morricone. But Morricone, who died at 91 on July 6, was more than a musical hero. He was an icon. What really set him apart were his absolutely unique sensibilities. His imprint on cinema music’s culture was so strong that entire genres were defined by him. His 1960s compositions for Sergio Leone’s westerns, like The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, entered the popular culture so deeply that almost everyone knows…

Why we still don’t know how often police kill people in America

ONE: GET POLICE DEPARTMENTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO report when their officers use lethal force or seriously injure someone. Two: Collect that information in a national database. Three: Release those statistics to the public. That simple formula has been at the heart of nearly every comprehensive police-reform proposal in modern U.S. history. And for good reason: police chiefs and community organizers, Republicans and Democrats, federal lawmakers and local leaders all agree that a comprehensive database of use-of-force incidents is key to fighting racial injustice in law enforcement. But that bipartisan agreement, as well as a 26-year-old federal law mandating the creation of a database and a five-year effort by the FBI to build one, have all failed to produce reliable data on how and when America’s police officers use force against…

How school reopenings became political

THE PRESIDENT PRACTICALLY SNARLED AS HE made the accusation. “They think it’s going to be good for them politically, so they keep the schools closed,” Donald Trump said in the East Room of the White House on July 7, referring to Democratic governors. “We’re very much going to put pressure on governors and everybody else to open the schools.” With that, Trump waded into a debate that’s come to the fore of America’s pandemic response. Mere weeks before schools start, a brutal reality has descended on parents: after months of hunkering down with their kids, there may be no end in sight. The coronavirus is still raging, which means the school closures imposed as temporary measures in March will be difficult to reverse. Schools at every level are struggling to figure…

Best-selling novelist David Mitchell visits the Age of Rock

IN DAVID MITCHELL’S NEW NOVEL, UTOPIA Avenue, a member of the 1960s psychedelic folk rock band that gives the book its name is asked by an interviewer which category its eclectic music falls into. “You’re like a zoologist asking a platypus, ‘Are you a ducklike otter? Or an otter-like duck?’” replies Jasper, the group’s virtuosic guitar player. “Like the platypus, I don’t care. We make music we like. We hope others like it too. That’s it.” It’s hard not to read this as a wink at Mitchell’s own reputation for genre fluidity, given a body of work that encompasses historical fiction (The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet), bildungsroman (Black Swan Green), science fiction (The Bone Clocks) and a combination of the above (Cloud Atlas, for which he is best known).…

Remembering her name

A Breonna Taylor mural at Chambers Park in Annapolis, Md., is captured by drone on July 5. Future History Now, an art nonprofit, partnered with the Banneker-Douglass Museum and the Maryland Commission on African American History and Culture to create the work. Taylor, a 26-year-old Black woman, was shot and killed in her Louisville, Ky., home in March by police executing a “no knock” warrant as part of a narcotics investigation. No drugs were found. In June, one officer was fired, and the Louisville Metro Council unanimously voted to ban such warrants in the city, naming the policy Breonna’s Law.

The power of masks

At long last, we have made a truly game-changing scientific breakthrough in preventing the spread of COVID-19. We have found a disease-control tool that, when used properly, can reduce transmission by somewhere between 50% and 85%. The tool is cheap and remarkably low-tech. You can even make one at home. If this tool were a vaccine or a medicine, we’d be high-fiving one another and popping the champagne, knowing we’d discovered a crucial means to help prevent the spread of the pandemic. I’m talking, of course, about face masks. Face masks block the spread of respiratory droplets that can carry the novel coronavirus. But just as with so many other aspects of the response to COVID-19—including mass testing, contact tracing and the early use of stay-at-home orders—the U.S. is once again squandering…

Ethiopia faces a precarious political moment

THE JUNE 29 MURDER of activist, singer and political icon Hachalu Hundessa has ignited violence across Addis Ababa and other Ethiopian cities. This is the latest chapter in this country’s tumultuous journey from authoritarian rule toward genuine democracy. Reports of vandalism, arson, robbery and murder have made national headlines. Some 1,200 people have been arrested. In the city of Ambo, police have shot and killed at least nine people, some of them mourners at Hundessa’s funeral. Ethiopia, Africa’s second most populous nation, is no stranger to unrest. The country’s constitution divides Ethiopia into ethnically based territories, but many disputes over boundaries have never been resolved. Oromo, the largest of Ethiopia’s many ethnic groups, make up about one-third of the country’s 112 million people, but they say they’ve been excluded from holding…

The origins of social distance

How did the term social distancing evolve? It’s used as a euphemism for class and race in the 19th century. In the 1920s, the Social Distance Scale [describing comfort levels between people of different races] becomes a social-science tool. During the AIDS crisis, it’s used to describe misguided fears of contagion. It’s not until 2004 that the CDC picks it up to talk about airborne illness. How did the idea become part of the study of race? The Social Distance Scale turns up in the wake of the summer of 1919, especially the Chicago race riots, in order to try to make sense of race. It makes it seem like people fit very neatly into these groups. It’s just this huge reduction. What do you hope people take away from your research?…

We think we gave our neighbor COVID-19

A FEW DAYS BEFORE OUR LONGTIME NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBOR moved out of his New York City loft in late March, he texted us and asked if we would look after his fish and some plants, since he could not move into his new place for a while. “Sure,” we texted back. “It’s not like we’re going anywhere.” Our history of looking after things is spotty, but he needed a hand, and I thought it might be time to skill up. His home and ours have only ever been separated by a semipermeable membrane anyway. We share a common outdoor space. We have each other’s spare keys, use each other’s appliances, have permission to just go in and borrow anything when the other is away. When we had young kids in the home,…

No joy without singing

A FEW YEARS AGO, I BEGAN TAKING VOCAL LESSONS. LIKE many people, I was an enthusiastic, lifelong singer, at least in the privacy of my shower. But I wondered if I could actually acquire any skill in the discipline, enough that my family would stop flinching as I belted out the occasional tune around the house. As with any motor skill—what singing primarily is—it took a lot of work. But, gradually, I began staying more on pitch, expanding my range, improving my breath control. I soon felt the need to do something with this singing. As I was hardly ready for a solo recital at Carnegie Hall, I decided to join a choir. I signed up with a group called the New York Choir Project, largely on the strength of two things:…

‘Karen’ and the violence of white womanhood

WHEN YOU LOOK UP THE HASHTAG #KAREN ON INSTAGRAM, a search that yields more than 773,000 posts, the featured image is a screenshot of a white woman staring into the camera, pursing her lips into a smile as she touches a finger to her chin, a movement that’s at once condescending and cloying. The woman’s name is Lisa Alexander, but on the Internet, she’s most recognized as the “San Francisco Karen.” In a clip that went viral in June, Alexander confronts James Juanillo, who is stenciling BLACK LIVES MATTER in chalk on the front of his own home, and demands to know if he is defacing private property. Juanillo, who identified himself in a social-media caption as a person of color, is seen telling her and her partner that they should…

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla is raising expectations that the pharma giant will deliver a COVID-19 vaccine this fall

PFIZER IS INCREASINGLY CONFIDENT that its efforts to develop a coronavirus vaccine will be successful. In a July 7 interview with TIME, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said he believes that Food and Drug Administration approval could come as soon as October. On the basis of promising results in an early-stage trial released on July 1, Pfizer has dramatically increased the projections for the number of doses it will produce this year, to 100 million. Bourla also disclosed that the company has begun commercial talks with governments around the world about how many doses they will receive. Bourla is so convinced his global pharmaceutical giant is on the right track that he has decided Pfizer will start producing the vaccine before receiving approval from the FDA. It’s a move as risky as…

The defining year

FROM OUR VANTAGE POINT TODAY, 2020 looks like the year when an unknown virus spun out of control, killed hundreds of thousands and altered the way we live day to day. In the future, we may look back at 2020 as the year we decided to keep driving off the climate cliff—or to take the last exit. Taking the threat seriously would mean using the opportunity presented by this crisis to spend on solar panels and wind farms, push companies being bailed out to cut emissions and foster greener forms of transport in cities. If we instead choose to fund new coal-fired power plants and oil wells and thoughtlessly fire up factories to urge growth, we will lock in a pathway toward climate catastrophe. There’s a divide about which way…

We must be antiracist in our fight against climate change

As a Black scholar, I am usually one of the few dark-skinned people in scientific, educational, communication and policy spaces searching for natural solutions to climate change. Demographics of a group are a window into its culture, equity and inclusivity, so the absence of voices of marginalized communities means that the issues that concern us do not get the attention they need. Take soils, for instance. In the context of human security, climate change is a threat multiplier, meaning it exacerbates the existing threat of food and nutritional insecurity for nearly a billion people around the world—a significant percentage of whom are Black or brown—who don’t have access to adequate food and water. The interconnected nature of the climate, soil systems and the future of global food production demands that we…

Take climate action at the ballot box

Halfway into the year, our nation has reached a precipice: a criminal-justice system infected by racism that continues to take Black lives, avoidable deaths that keep climbing as COVID-19 sprawls, the scourge of voter suppression, and an economy that has left millions of Americans wondering how they will survive. Teetering on the edge in the midst of this tumult, a familiar peril still looms—inaction on climate change threatens the future. I understand the impulse to divert our attention toward seemingly more immediate challenges. But extreme weather continues, natural disasters are intensifying, polar ice is still melting, sea levels are rising, and the human cost remains stubbornly high. The reckoning is felt by those who struggle to breathe as carbon-dioxide levels reach their highest point in 800,000 years and those who cannot…

The four-year plan for America

DONALD TRUMP HAS smashed a lot of environmental china in four years. To name a few instances: he pulled out of the 2015 Paris Agreement (a move that becomes official on July 6, 2021); loosened automotive-mileage and power-plant-emission standards; and sought to eliminate the protected status of the sage grouse, opening up 9 million acres to oil and gas extraction. Reasonable minds may differ on the wisdom of any one of those moves, but no one can deny the unprecedented sweep of Trump’s policies. Data from Harvard Law School’s Environmental and Energy Law Program and Columbia University’s Sabin Center for Climate Change Law show that the President has signed more than 100 administrative rules, Executive Orders and acts of deregulation, 66 of which have gone into effect. If presumptive Democratic presidential nominee…

The four-year plan for America

FOR MICK BARON, THE GIANT KELP forests of Tasmania were a playground, a school and a church. The former marine biologist runs a scuba-diving center on the Australian island’s east coast, and rhapsodizes about the wonders of the seaweed’s dense habitats. “Diving in kelp is one of the most amazing underwater experiences you can have,” the 65-year-old says, likening it to flying through the canopy of a terrestrial rain forest. “You won’t find a single empty patch in a kelp forest … From the sponge gardens on the seafloor all the way up to the leaves on the surface, it’s packed with life.” Or rather, it was. In late 2015, a marine heat wave hit eastern Australia, wiping out a third of the Great Barrier Reef, and the kelp forests Baron…

We need to trust the locals

As the COVID-19 pandemic and police-brutality protests heat up metaphorically, we can’t forget that the earth is still heating up literally. Because of systemic racism, these crises are hitting communities of color especially hard. At the same time, these very communities are developing concrete, homegrown solutions. Too often, the money and decisionmaking power needed to address a crisis rest in faraway offices that deploy far-flung consultants and contractors to affected areas. It’s no surprise that these responses without community leadership tend to make matters worse. When communities have resources to build on local strengths and buy-in, they come up with effective, durable and creative solutions to address short-term crises and long-term inequities. For example: in 2018, when developers wanted to turn abandoned School 77 in Buffalo, N.Y., into luxury condos, members…

Q+A: Angelina Jolie interviews Vanessa Nakate about activism and the power of African voices

CONCERNED ABOUT HER COUNTRY’S rising temperatures, Ugandan climate activist Vanessa Nakate, 23, spent months protesting alone outside the gates of Parliament in Kampala. Her Rise Up Movement seeks to amplify voices from Africa. The work you’re doing is really teaching all of us because, as you know more than anyone, the conversation about the climate crisis has been very limited to a few voices. How did you get involved? Before my graduation, I started carrying out research to understand the challenges that people [in my community] were facing, and I was really surprised to find that climate change was actually the biggest threat facing humanity right now. I realized every part of my country, Uganda, is affected by the climate crisis: when you go to the north, the people are suffering…

The climate fight cannot be partisan

The COVID-19 crisis has been a reminder to all of us that when it comes to getting things done, pragmatism trumps ideology. Yet the public debate around climate change is often polarizing and oversimplified. We are frequently told that we face a choice between saving the economy and the environment. This is false. We can tackle climate change, transform our economies and at the same time be better off than before—in Austria, in Europe and all over the world. The required response, however, must come from the political center and not the fringes. If we are to use this moment as an opportunity to rebuild and perhaps rethink our societies, our political leaders must together develop a narrative for a green transformation that counters the radical solutions presented by populists. We…

A revolution’s evolution

THE HONEYMOON FOR EXTINCTION Rebellion, the hugely influential climate activist group, ended on Oct. 17, 2019. From its launch, a year earlier, until that day, it seemed like the group might have cracked the formula for saving the planet: its strategy of shutting down city centers with disruptive, nonviolent civil disobedience had drawn ordinary people onto the streets to demand action on the climate crisis. It had also made the group, now present in 75 countries, the most radical of a wave of climate activist groups sweeping the world in recent years, including the youth-focused Sunrise Movement in the U.S. and the school strikers led by Greta Thunberg. In the U.K., Extinction Rebellion (or XR) is a household name, able to generate enough pressure to reach milestones that traditional environmental campaigners spent…

No ‘green deal’ will be ambitious enough to save the planet

In the aftermath of the coronavirus crisis, there are many who will claim that we need to use this as an opportunity. They’ll say that when we restart the economy, we must adopt a so-called green recovery plan. And of course it’s incredibly important that we invest our assets in sustainable projects, renewable energy, technical solutions and research. But we must not for one second believe that it will be even close to what is actually required, or that the so-called targets set out today would be ambitious enough. If all countries were to actually go through with the emission reductions they have set as goals, we would still be heading for a catastrophic global temperature rise of at least 3°C above preindustrial levels. The world’s planned fossil-fuel production alone by…

Justice for all

THE 2019 FIRE AT THE PHILADELPHIA Energy Solutions refinery started with a simple failure: one leaky elbow pipe in a 1,400-acre facility covered with pipes, tanks and industrial towers. Within a few hours last June, enough gaseous propane had seeped into the air to ignite the facility into a fiery hellscape with an explosion hurling human-size pieces of industrial equipment into the air and shaking the ground miles away. Workers rapidly shut down the facility, which had for decades converted crude oil into usable products. The workers escaped with only a few minor injuries, but the facility had already spent decades killing its neighbors in South Philadelphia. The refinery—the largest on the East Coast, dating back to the early days of the oil industry in the 19th century—was single-handedly responsible for…

Black Lives Matter matters for the climate

The Black Lives Matter movement is not a distraction from saving the planet. We can’t solve the climate crisis without people of color, but we could probably solve it without racists. Whether it’s Hurricane Katrina or air pollution, storms and exposure to toxins cause much greater harm to communities of color. (Although, yes, in the longer term, climate change is coming for us all, even if you have a bunker in New Zealand.) So it follows that if we’re thinking about how to become more resilient to the impacts of climate change, we must focus on the people who are actually the most impacted. And we must understand that it is people from their own communities who are best equipped to lead them. I simply don’t see how we win at addressing…

Can big agriculture ever go green?

ON APRIL 12, A MEAT-PROCESSING plant in Sioux Falls, S.D., owned by Smithfield Foods shut down after hundreds of employees contracted coronavirus. The closure was hardly unique. Food-processing plants are tinderboxes for infection because employees work in close proximity and often need to shout, spraying droplets that can be laced with the virus. Cargill, Tyson and other major industry players closed about two dozen poultry-, pork- and beef-processing centers over the following weeks as workers fell ill. In April and May, more than 17,000 industry workers tested positive for COVID-19 and 91 died, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The impact rippled to grocers, who struggled to stock certain items, and to restaurants like Wendy’s, which temporarily changed its menu at some locations to compensate for beef…

Can big agriculture ever go green?

THE CYCLISTS PEDALING UP TO A COBbled square on Paris’ Left Bank looked like any group of friends enjoying a Sunday afternoon ride in late June. But this was no casual outing. To them, it was a revolution in the making. From one bike hopped a slight dark-haired woman in a Chicago Cubs windbreaker: Anne Hidalgo, the mayor of Paris. Unclipping her bike helmet, she told journalists gathered there that the French capital needed to drastically cut car use—the key message on the campaign trail for her re-election on June 28. “We are getting there,” she said, “but we have long way to go.” Hidalgo is hardly alone among city leaders in trying to transform urban life. Across the U.S. and Europe and even in the megalopolis of Istanbul, mayors have…

We must act as one to preserve our world

This planet is our only home. Environmental experts say that over the next few decades, global warming will reach such a level that many water resources will go dry. So ecology and combatting global warming are very important. For example, my country, Tibet, is the ultimate source of water in Asia. Rivers including Pakistan’s Indus, India’s Ganges and Brahmaputra, China’s Yellow River, as well as the Mekong, flow from Tibet’s plateau. So we should pay more attention to the preservation of Tibetan ecology. This is not only for the interest of 6 million Tibetans but all people in this region. In the past, when I was flying over Afghanistan, there were clear signs that what used to be lakes and streams were already dry. I feel that Tibet also may become…

ON THE CUSP OF DONALD TRUMP’S SENATE IMpeachment trial in January, Val Demings went to dinner at a Washington seafood joint, the Salt Line, with her colleague Hakeem Jeffries. The two Representatives had recently been chosen, with five other House Democrats, to present the case to remove the President from office—the first two Black presidential impeachment managers in American history. As they discussed the weight of the role, Jeffries, the chair of the House Democratic Caucus, made a prediction. “When this is all said and done,” he told Demings, “you’re going to be on the short list for Vice President.” “Get out of here,” Demings said. “I just have that feeling, Val,” Jeffries insisted. “The world is getting ready to see what we here in Congress already know about who you are.” Jeffries…

74% of MLM sellers are women, and 20% are HispanicDirect Selling Association When Christine Baker, a financially strapped stay-at-home mom to two little girls, made up her mind to lose 30 lb., she took a cue from a friend who’d gotten fit with Beachbody. The company’s online workouts and diet products cost Baker about $160, but they worked. “Literally within 30 days, I looked and felt like a different person,” says Baker, of Roseville, Calif., who was so impressed with her 2015 transformation that she decided to become a Beachbody fitness coach herself. She started paying around $135 per month to set up her own online portal and to purchase Beachbody products, and she got to work looking for customers. Yet as she spent more hours trying to sell people on Beachbody…

For greater empathy, read Black fiction

ANYONE WHO KNOWS ME WILL TELL you that I love being the center of attention. But for my fifth book, Party of Two, I was compelled to write about a character who shies away from the spotlight. Yes, she’s a Black woman like me, and yes, she’s a lawyer, which I was. But just because Olivia and I are alike on the surface doesn’t mean we’re the same. The five Black women at the heart of each of my books are all different from one another, and from me, which means I’ve had to discover their histories and quirks one by one. For Olivia, caught by her love of a man whose life as a public figure threatens to derail her own ambitions, I had to figure out what she was…

In Peacock’s flagship, a Brave New Westworld

CONSCIOUSNESS DEFINES HUMANITY. IT GIVES US EMOtions and choices, allows us to form societies, create art, understand the world around us. But it also opens the door to inequality, war, genocide, environmental destruction. It’s what makes us dream of utopia and—because any perfect society would still require drudge work no self-actualized individual would be happy doing—what keeps that idyll out of reach. The futuristic World State of Aldous Huxley’s classic 1932 novel Brave New World, which comes to TV in a pulpy adaptation for NBCUniversal’s new streaming service Peacock, believes it has solved that paradox. Each person is genetically engineered to be an ideal member of their caste: Alphas are the brilliant ruling class. Epsilons are the simple manual laborers. The rest fall in between. Each rank performs a crucial function,…

Swift change is possible

WE HAVE OFTEN BEEN PLACATED WITH THE NOtion that real change takes time. But this is only true where apathy is its main resistance. Change can come suddenly too. Western society saw change occur at breakneck speed in the 1950s, when we went from the rationing of World War II to such disposable affluence that planned obsolescence was openly celebrated: buy it cheap, buy it new, keep up with the Joneses. It was the decade that plastic really entered the cycle of humanity. And though we now know it permeates everything on our planet as a poison, it is still being produced at alarming rates. But the biggest change of the 1950s was that collective selfishness fell upon us. People spent money, and votes, on whatever ticked the “What’s in it for…
