Some consultants were probably paid an obscene amount of money to produce this absolutely nonsensical graph (check out the axis labels and tell me otherwise). Entire document is full of empty buzzwords & bullshit and it pisses me off. Sent to attendees of the 6th board mtg of the Loss & Damage Fund.

The budget reconciliation bill Congress is considering would bring funding for immigration enforcement to $200 billion for FY2025 alone. It’s hard to explain how utterly insane this is, but here’s an attempt – with comparisons to #FFD4, foreign aid, climate finance etc. (1/15)

The road from Paris to Baku #COP29 is the story of the US trying to kill the very idea that the Global North owes anything to the Global South. Regardless of what the US says, the obligations exist. And we'll keep fighting. My comments on

Uganda’s Adoni Ayebare: “Is it a joke?”
Kenya’s Ali Mohamed then explained why they consider that completely insufficient #COP29
