I welcome Denmark’s announcement that it will allocate 60% of climate financial aid to climate adaptation measures in its national budget proposal.
This is a powerful example of #ClimateAction leadership for other donor countries & multilateral development banks to follow.

An incredibly important thread on the scope creep of contact tracing in Singapore -- can we prevent this in other jurisdictions? Rolling back surveillance once it's in place is a monumental task.
🧵on #Covid19 tech + surveillance in 🇸🇬
1/ Unlike this time last year, when Singapore's epidemic curve shot up and we were seeing new cases in the 100s/1000s (mostly within migrant worker dorms), the number of cases have come right down now, and tend to be mostly imported cases.
So, if you decided to follow me because you think I support bad cop shit, get out. (a) I don't. (b) I normally just tweet about grilled cheeses.

Nationality is something that most people take for granted - but it can be a lengthy struggle for stateless people. #EndStatelessness #iBelong
I am so sick of the ignorance of (math) academics who have no idea that the security sector includes food security, water security, assistance for refugees and IDPs, disaster relief, actually providing the on-the-ground support for the world's most vulnerable people. (1/7)
Similarly, if we investigate the security sector, we find that there are far more people doing the irrationally difficult work of caring for people and for the planet than those spying on citizens, building bombs, etc. (5/7)
