18 months into Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the question remains: why aren’t policymakers in democracies clamping down harder on illicit finance flows? An excellent piece from @CFCS_RUSI bit.ly/3Ys7I9a

Democracies Remain Blind to the Threat from Illicit Finance

So Twitter becomes X. Most of you are probably wondering what this means, so we will be keeping an eye out for any useful information and resources. How are charities reacting to the changes? Here are a few great tweets (or X's) that we've seen. 🧵 theverge.com/2023/7/24/23805…

RIP Twitter’s iconic bird logo

And hello to a generic white X.

Animal agriculture contributes a *fifth* of global emissions. But development banks still fund it. 😳 Its been great working with the #StopFinancingFactoryFarming campaign to bring this to light. This from @KariHamerschlag and @foe_us tells it all 👉bit.ly/43UePZB

Multilateral banks' investments in industrial livestock undermine their Paris climate commitments

Public money should stop flowing towards the expansion of animal agriculture, which is responsible for a fifth of the world's emissions

Jennifer Mueller, co-author of The Scheme gave us a fascinating talk today about the hidden money campaign that’s capturing - and corrupting - the US Supreme Court. Terrifying stuff - and as ever, a cautionary tale for democracies everywhere. 👀

Devastating news this week of another migrant boat sinking off the Greek coast and a reminder of how the erosion of asylum rights by Western states is costing lives. Worth reading @MatinaStevis powerful investigation into Greek authorities' violations against migrants.

On April 13th I got an email from a stranger, @FayadMulla He was on Lesbos & had footage from 2 days prior showing migrants getting rounded up on land & ditched in the Aegean by the coast guard Did I want to see it? If you think the answer was an easy "yes," you're wrong.

Tough, moving read. Awful to think of the trauma meted on innocent civilians - including super young children - for over a decade now in Syria. Hard to imagine they will ever fully record even if peace restored: devex.com/news/opinion-to-re…

Opinion: To rebuild Syria, addressing the mental health crisis is vital

If the international community is serious about supporting the rebuilding of Syria, it has to be serious about its investments in Syria’s mental health infrastructure.
