Great thread. Large swaths of the State Dept will no longer attest that Israel "is using U.S.-supplied weapons in accordance with international humanitarian law." For good reason.

The campaign against small pox was so successful that if all development aid ever contributed nothing other than small pox eradication it would still be cost-effective (HT @willmacaskill). Development & mass production of new malaria vaccines is another major win for development

📢Ukraine Tracker update: The new US aid package is large, but no game changer. It will help to bring Western support back to the level of early 2023, but only for about 6 months. Europe remains in lead on overall support, but did NOT fill the gap left by the US. What else? 1/8

@notanastronomer I def agree with your answer on here but I've also been radicalized by @JustinSandefur on school meals. I'm not deep enough into the policy space to know how much funding there is for it but I'm guessing it's not enough, and it's definitely under-researched

How it started (2021) How it’s going (today) Pre cancer, I was a runner. It was the best thing for my wellbeing. Then cancer happened. Major surgery, months of chemo and now a cocktail of drugs have taken their toll. But as of today, I’m determined to turn that around.
There are performative actions & real actions. Muhammad Ali was stripped of the titles and did not fight for 4 or 5 years that could have been the best years in his boxing career.
On this day in 1967, Muhammad Ali refused army induction to serve in the Vietnam War.
This is quite a take. Has Fareed missed every student movement of his lifetime? Maybe college kids are protesting because they’re opposed to the slaughter of innocents. And because they’re in the actual community of rights.
Why has the Gaza war spun colleges into chaos? Because campuses have weakened as actual communities, where people mingle, interact and get to know and trust each other. My latest column: cnn.com/2024/04/26/opi…

It's quite clear what happened: Just outside the university gates, a semi-regular crowd of quite unwell people who have nothing to do with the Columbia protest have gathered with the explicit aim of getting on TV. Press show up and film them, use the footage to smear the students
It's a multi-faith protest. Despite the claims that the protest is an anti-Semitic hell-hole, I met plenty of Jewish students taking part who completely rejected the notion.
@IMFNews I want to note that these are our (@juhreka13 , @EmilyOehlsen, @VeronicaCPerezP ) calculations, which you asked us for on the condition that you’d cite us.
