Can someone ask the NYT why they're adopting Trump's attitude that he should control the courts of other countries?

"Escalate the conflict"?
Is Brazil a colonial possession of Trump?

At #FfD4 in Seville, the message from activists, movements, and campaigners is loud and clear -

You can try to silence us, but we’re not going anywhere.

The people, united, will never be defeated ✊ 🔥

Just 4 countries met their #aid commitment in 2024, while 24 countries met their commitment to defence. @jeansaldanha.bsky.social asks if there is this political commitment to sacrifice strongly held debt & deficit ceilings for defence, what is stopping them from doing so for #development?

The #UnitedStates' withdrawal from the #UNTaxConvention process demonstrates why it must stay a majority decision-making process. It should not be up to 1 single country to decide whether or not the others are allowed to work together!

The success at #Ffd4 depends on a narrative on the importance of public financing and tackling illicit financial flows. We hope to see language on ending secretive ownership of companies, assets and opening up corporate tax secrecy to the public so we can tackle tax abuses and IFFs #EurodadIC25 3/3
