Ken Bone going viral feels like a good excuse to mention that my friends got me a Ken Bone cameo before my wedding (to mock me for being a DC/politics guy) and instead of making some joke about indecision he just gave very sweet heartfelt advice about love

On my way back to Havana 🇨🇺

Last year, we called to:
(1) Renew the non-aligned movement
(2) Renovate the NIEO
(3) Assert Southern power
(4) Build a planetary bloc

This year, we’ll develop a program of concrete coordinated, unilateral Southern actions to enact that plan.

Voces del 🌍 se juntan en el Hemiciclo Sur del Capitolio Nacional  para pensar en posibles salidas para el Sur Global, actualizar la Agenda de ese Sur, tan marginado por las economías más avanzadas.  Bienvenidos a #LaHabana , #Cuba @ProgIntlb David Adler

Ok you’ve gotta at least give it up for the creativity

🚨 KEEP TURNING OUT TO GWU

I am pleased to join 65 leaders in signing this letter, including Helen Clark H.E. Dr. Joyce Banda…

Hard to overstate how wild it is that Congress authorized the seizure of frozen Russian assets. Dedollarization on the horizon?

Talk about solidarity! students from ALL UNIVERSITIES IN DC have created a Gaza solidarity encampment TOGETHER at GW! Georgetown, Howard, Gallaudet, UMD, George Mason, American, GW:

The US is poised to send Israel another $9 billion - no strings attached- as its atrocities in Gaza continue to mount. Join us on May 7 to hear about how US militarism and the genocide in Palestine intersect with the climate crisis - link to register below

The future is public! We're so excited for these two events with the fantastic Brett Christophers to talk about his new book & the limits of private investment for just decarbonization in DC (5/6) and New York (5/8)- and both will be live streamed. Registration links below!

Maybe I don't know how Public Health scholarship works, but if I reviewed a journal article about Venezuela's health crisis that only mentioned sanctions once, only to say that they don't matter, and the only source for that claim was the State Department, I wouldn't publish it!
