This article taught me things about the medical teams that Cuba sends abroad that I hadn't known before. Now knowing them, I feel it may need to be reformed but is still essentially a good thing.

Trump cracking on it while simultaneously shutting down USAID and other programs is incredibly wrong headed. It does immeasurable human harm and will only further alienate the USA.

By making life harder for #vulnerablepopulations in #developingcountries shutting down #USAID will have the ironic effect of causing an increase in #undocumentedimmigrants.

Not only #cruel, #inhumane and #unchristian (yeah the irony runs deep with these #MAGA types) but down right #ignorant.

Properly channelled #foreignaid will do more to cut #crime & #war than #military troops on the border and #militaryaid to aggressive countries like #Israel.

...more...

"Developing countries are angry...

We have been asked to forget all about [the transition away from fossil fuels] at this COP, as though we are not in a critical decade and as though the 1.5C limit is not in peril.

We need to be shown the regard which our dire circumstances necessitate."
