All about sustainable development, environment protection, human rights and child protection

[Kenneth Roth @KenRoth]

Of the 1.1M children in Gaza, nearly all require mental health or psychosocial support. Most have been out of school for nearly two years. After Israel’s 11-week blockade on food this year, all children younger than 5 are at risk of acute malnutrition. https://t.co/cUES1lMTWY

French senator Claude Malhuret is to the point and says it all. Must watch.

[Richard Woodruff 🇺🇦 @frontlinekit]

French senator perfectly describes the Trump situation.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

BREAKING: Trump ignorantly attacks NATO:

"If the US was in trouble and we called them... France, do you think they're gonna come and protect us? I'm not so sure."

FACT: France lost 90 Lives and spent tens of billions of dollars fighting for us.

FACT: The US is the only country to ever exercise Article 5. After the 9/11 attacks, NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in its history, declaring that an attack on the United States was an attack on all NATO members. The following NATO member states participated in military operations in Afghanistan under the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and later Operation Resolute Support:

Countries That Exercised Article 5 to help us:
- United States 🇺🇸
- United Kingdom 🇬🇧
- Canada 🇨🇦
- France 🇫🇷
- Germany 🇩🇪
- Italy 🇮🇹
- Netherlands 🇳🇱
- Belgium 🇧🇪
- Denmark 🇩🇰
- Norway 🇳🇴
- Spain 🇪🇸
- Portugal 🇵🇹
- Turkey 🇹🇷
- Greece 🇬🇷
- Czech Republic 🇨🇿
- Poland 🇵🇱
- Hungary 🇭🇺
- Slovakia 🇸🇰
- Slovenia 🇸🇮
- Romania 🇷🇴
- Bulgaria 🇧🇬
- Estonia 🇪🇪
- Latvia 🇱🇻
- Lithuania 🇱🇹
- Iceland 🇮🇸 (provided logistical support, as Iceland has no standing military)
- Luxembourg 🇱🇺 (limited troop deployment and financial support)
- Croatia 🇭🇷 (joined NATO in 2009, contributed afterward)
- Albania 🇦🇱 (joined NATO in 2009, contributed afterward)

Lunatic Lutnick: “Things are not gonna rise in price if you make them here”

Reporter: “But sir, wages are higher here”

Lunatic Lutnick: “Then Robots will make them and people don’t have to go to college”

This is the US Secretary of Commerce. You can’t make this shit up 🤦‍♂️

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

BREAKING: The 7,000 IRS agents fired by Trump and DOGE appear to have mainly been employees who worked in the Large Business and International (LB&I) division, which audits companies with more than $10 million in assets and high-income individuals.

Weird, right? It’s almost as if they are trying to help Billionaires and cut the revenue of the US, meaning that the middle class will suffer.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Trump made a HISTORIC blunder during his speech while bragging he canceled $8 million in funding to turn Mice “transgender.”

The funding was for TRANSGENIC studies, where scientists introduce human disease cells like Alzheimer’s to study a cure. Unreal.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Trump and Musk are going after Social Security, Medicaid, the VA, and public education.

In what universe, in what world, in what religion is it morally acceptable to cut programs for hungry children in order to reward the wealthy?

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Gaza: In the largest and most shameful concentration camp of the 21st century, Israel is genociding the Palestinians one neighborhood at the time, one hospital at the time, one school at the time, one refugee camp at the time, one 'safe zone' at the time. With US and European weapons. And amid the indifference of all "civilised nations".

May the Palestinians forgive us for our collective inability to protect them, honoring the most basic meaning of intl law.

"It's like acting, it's putting on an act," said Australian Cambodian Kalyan Ky, who worked with Hun Manet between 2014 and 2017 in Australia. "It's strange to see the contrast with the very different person he was before." https://t.co/NwgrInOC1G

Via community-based reforestation of 60.000 #cycads over 200ha in #Uganda, combined with other measures, @joinforwater plans to restore & protect the endangered cycads and their habitat. Give us your vote & help us secure the funds with @ConserveOutdoor: https://t.co/9q6k0tMHjY

Fortalecemos las capacidades de mujeres, jóvenes, agricultores, ganaderos, técnicos y autoridades, para una mejor gestión de los #RecursosHídricos que garantice agua para consumo humanos y seguridad alimentaria y que preserve los #DerechosdelaNaturaleza #DiaDeLosDerechosHumanos

Responding to climate change requires more than just planting trees. A hollistic approach is needed: protecting and conserving ecosystems, for and by the people who depend on them. This is what we do. https://t.co/GYZVMnef0X

[Brent @BrentDeS]

In Ecuador & Peru, our partners are creating a strong binational alliance to protect and conserve a critical river basin, while ensuring people's access to its services. Follow @Protos_Andes to stay informed on their progress. #mayochinchipe #agua #joinforwater

[Protos Andes @Protos_Andes]

La delegación de @joinforwater junto al equipo de #ProtosAndes mantuvo varias reuniones con líderes y representantes de organizaicones de Chinchipe y Palanda, para reiterar, desde el Programa CUIDAR, el compromiso de sumarse a los esfuerzos para conservar la cuenca #MayoChinchipe

België zit onder het EU gemiddelde voor ontwikkelingssamenwerking. Internationale solidariteit is vandaag met mondiale crisissen meer nodig dan ooit. Ga voor de beloofde 0,7% BNP! #07now!

[Join For Water @joinforwater]

België moet het regeerakkoord uitvoeren en werk maken van de 0,7% voor ontwikkelingssamenwerking. #07now

[Brent @BrentDeS]

While I am meeting our local partners #NRDI and #JESE in Fort portal Uganda, our Mali country coordinator Kam is representing @joinforwater at the #WorldWaterForum9 in #Dakar.

[Brent @BrentDeS]

First day in #Uganda with @joinforwater. Hitting the road to meet our partners and visit our project sites. In safe hands with Jackson, our excellent driver.

[Brent @BrentDeS]

In a public school with over 1500 students, our toilet provides access to children with disabilities and offers a private quarter equipped with hygienic materials for girls to visit during menstruation. The opening was accompanied by a campaign on menstrual health. #Mali #CWD

[Brent @BrentDeS]

Almost 10y ago, @joinforwater built a waterfountain in 1 of #Bamako's poorest communities. To this day, this proud woman manages the fair distribution of clean, affordable water to her community, decreasing the women's daily walk to collect water from 2-3h to 10-15min! #Mali

[Brent @BrentDeS]

As part of our evaluations at the end of our #DGD multi-year program in #Mali, we are seeing the impactful work our team and partners have done. This water fountain, managed by the community, supplies over 100 large families with quality drinking water for an affordable price.

[Brent @BrentDeS]

Today we had the pleasure to meet with Mr. Vannuytsel, head of cooperation at the Belgian embassy in #Mali, to present @joinforwater's new strategy to restore and protect Mali's fragile water-related #ecosystems, and explore future collaborations.
