When you are dying of internal bleeding from an ectopic pregnancy, furious that even though any doctor could save you, you will have to die - leaving lifelong agony for your spouse and children
please think of the sanctity of Brett Kavanaugh’s driveway - which is the real victim
Friendly reminder that Elon Musk told the UN that if they gave him a budgeted breakdown of how $6Bil could end world hunger, he would do it. They gave him the budget and then he decided not to do it, and instead decided he would buy Twitter for $45Bil.

Establishing a national agency to prevent & manage #investment disputes is often perceived as a promising way to avoid the risk of costly #ISDS claims. But how do these agencies operate & what are their effects? @JBonnitcha & @ZoePhillipsW explore: https://t.co/FVWsxzCINe
I didn’t think it was possible to become more pro-choice than I already was, but after 7 months of pregnancy all I can think about is how wrong it would be to make someone do this who doesn’t want to.
I am super proud to be opening our trade and sustainability hub with this great panel inspired by Anthea and Nicolas’ recently published book “Six Faces of Globalization: Who Wins, Who Loses, and Why It Matters”. Although MC12 has been postponed, we are going ahead with the Hub.
@Etienne_Brown in my hometown paper! Really interesting to think about how market size or political importance can determine the level of regulation that FB users enjoy. Not that different from dumping dirty industries in the global south?
Dear #ISDS Twitter,
Have you been to a webinar recently where someone has proposed an investment ombudsperson as a solution to whatever problem of investment governance is being discussed?

The #ISDS claims against the Netherlands are casting shadows over #climate policy. When asked about options for faster #coal phase out, NL gov't states [i.a.] that "further intervention in the #coal sector entails major legal risks in the context of current claims". #RegChill
