Today on the @nytimes, my thoughts on how to prevent the abuse of migrant domestic workers https://t.co/779f0u1XCm

Shocking footage, but very important reporting by @hrw & @Nadia_Hardman on the absolutely outrageous treatment of Ethiopian migrants in Saudi Arabia. This is how one of the richest countries in the world treats its migrant workers.

It's 'just' one story about Ethiopian migrant workers in Lebanon, but exemplary for so many similar stories around the world of wage theft, employers abandoning migrant workers, limited consular assistance, inability to return home & stranded populations https://t.co/FGpS4cVbqh

I really didn't enjoy writing this. There are so many good, uplifting, inspiring stories to tell. But it's just too sad and awful that we've gotten to a point where EU leaders openly say they want to avoid saving lives https://t.co/GhguUTvsPf

This great diagram by the World Resources Institute @WRIClimate shows the sectors that contribute to greenhouse gas emissions.

The data is from 2005 though, does anyone know where I could get the latest data that makes up this image?

Parts of the climate movement reproduce anti-immigration narratives - treating people who have to move because of climate breakdown as a threat.

But migrant justice is central to climate justice

Cuando veo a estos chavales, veo a mis hijos. Tienen cuerpo de adultos y a veces la cagan, pero son solo unos niños que merecen todo el cariño de sus sociedades de acogida. Uno de ellos se quitó la vida la semana pasada, y yo pensé en mis hijos. DEP https://t.co/9YSkuVXuyu
