#BlackConservatism Goes Global

I see a future President!

"As of this week, he’s the official leader of #Belize’s conservative opposition party, having ascended to that prominent post after serving for less than a year"

It's not just Belize!

A Global Black Conservatism is On the Rise

#OTTAWA - "Black Conservatives energized by the rising star of Leslyn Lewis hope to use her unexpectedly robust leadership bid to bolster Black representation in the party’s ranks." thestar.com/politics/2021/…
Why would a minority want to conserve/contribute to a white supremacist civilization - devoid of ethnic contributions?

1/6 Excited to share our new #biologicalconservation paper on the #illegalwildlifetrade of #jaguars in #Belize and #Guatemala by @EJMilnerGulland @orchiddelirium and myself, in partnership with @WCS_Mesoamerica. Free access for a limited time at: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Image
2/6 Based on key informant interviews, we found that #jaguartrade is a #domestic and #opportunistic activity, driven by local actors for a range of #motivations, and with ties to #humanwildlifeconflict, #bushmeathunting, #Chinesedemand, #drugtrafficking, #migration and #tourism Image
3/6 By separating statements into well #evidenced examples vs. #assumptions, we found that the areas of higher #uncertainty in the #jaguartrade include the role of external actors and drivers, and of commercial motivations. Image

Hey peeps! Thought I'd pop on for a few minutes now that all the company has left & what was the 1st thing I saw? Comments from the weather channel talking about a new disturbance. With Laura still fresh in my mind, I immediately went to check it out.

Knowing this is the "last week of summer" & how many take trips or weekends away? I'm issuing an advanced "heads up" to any of my peeps or any of their family/friends for specific areas.

"The man who bankrolled the campaign for Britain to quit the European Union boasted about a backchannel to WikiLeaks after Brexit leader Nigel Farage’s secret meeting with Julian Assange at the Ecuadorean embassy in London" thedailybeast.com/man-who-bankro…
Oh dear Mr @arron_banks tsk tsk... thought he was so clever and must be feeling rather worried right now.
@Arron_banks And pièce de résistance! MORE corroborating my evidence to parliament on #LEAVEEU working with #CambridgeAnalytica - it seems from #Bannon actions they just never got paid. This supports other evidence gathered here: emma-briant.co.uk/reports/

It's #WorldAIDSDay.
There were approximately 37.9 million people living with #HIV at the end of 2018.
🔹79% had been diagnosed
🔹62% were receiving treatment
🔹53% had achieved suppression of the HIV virus to the point at which they were at low risk of infecting others.
@WHOWPRO @WHOSEARO @pahowho @WHOAFRO @WHO_Europe @WHOEMRO #DYK: HIV can now be diagnosed through rapid tests that can provide same-day results.
But no single test can provide a full #HIV diagnosis: a confirmatory test is required, conducted by a qualified and validated health worker at a community centre or clinic.
@WHOWPRO @WHOSEARO @pahowho @WHOAFRO @WHO_Europe @WHOEMRO There is no cure for #HIV infection.
However, effective antiretroviral drugs can control the virus and help prevent onward transmission to other people.

THREAD: Jaguars are the iconic #bigcat of the #Americas. In Mesoamerica, largest and most important habitat is the Selva Maya in #Guatemala, #Mexico, #Belize.

2 areas of Selva Maya are immediate concern, writes WCS’s John Polisar. bit.ly/2rI7j6T #InternationalJaguarDay Image
Jaguar's require space—ranges can stretch to over 200 miles. @TheWCS works across 250,000 sq. miles and 10 countries helping secure their future. #InternationalJaguarDay
