In the days leading up to #COP28, I look at #LossAndDamage, the context, the history & some of the major questions about a Loss and Damage Fund. As a framework, Loss and Damage's potential hinges on our ability to connect it to larger economic systems of opression & global debt

Oklahoma is in the midst of a 25-person execution spree, despite the state's track record of botched executions. No one should be killed by the state. The time to abolish the racist, unjust and cruel practice of the death penalty is NOW.

@sehnazkb You are completely correct. I used to categorize the US as far worse than other semi-universal system but somehow the US has become even worse and other more socialized systems seem to be quickly following. 😕

@sehnazkb I'm so sorry, Sehnaz. Navigating health care systems is awful especially when you are unwell. Sending you love and good wishes

@UruguayFran @YaleBooks @yalepress @ODID_QEH @LACOxford @LacLibrary @SLASLatAm I'm excited! I needed this book last week when I got into an argument with an obnoxious Dutch guy who said the post-conflict process in Argentina was similar to what it was in Spain.
