The beautiful chaos of a used bookstore is unmatched.

A recent @nytimes.com analysis found that over the last three presidential elections "Republicans are overwhelmingly making gains in working-class counties. Democrats are improving almost exclusively in wealthier areas." Our research shows similar patterns among donors. 🧵 cup.org/4cfm0Az

"we investigate how often five basic #climate facts are conveyed in @nytimes.com news articles covering climate change from 1980 to 2018. With only one exception, the frequencies with which these facts appear in news articles today are vanishingly small" iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

There’s a young southern woman on tt doing an experiment: calling churches & asking if they can help her get baby formula, saying she can’t afford it. Of the 30+ she’s called, nearly every church has said no. The ones who said yes were: Black Baptist Churches A Mosque A small Appalachian church

We can’t say you didn’t know. “Never again” is happening again. What's being described in this thread 🧵 is a concentration camp right on American soil, with all the horror and injustice that name carries.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Today @TheNewYorker released our short documentary “Rovina’s Choice” online. It traces the ongoing effects of the sudden shutdown of US foreign aid through the story of one mother in Kenya as she seeks to save her daughter from sickness and starvation. 🎥 1/ www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Vent, nå henger jeg ikke med her. Er ikke unge menn alle blitt mørkeblåe høyre-folk med forkjærlighet for populister og anti-woke krigere??!?

I dag er det nøyaktig ett år siden Donald Trump ble valgt som president for andre gang. Etter å ha forsøkt seg på et statskupp den 6. januar, 2021, er altså Trump tilbake i Det hvite hus. Denne gangen med flere velgere enn sin motkandidat. Er det på tide og skrive den amerikanske nekrologen?

Veldig personlig nå, men det tåler dere: Jeg tenker fortsatt, 25 år senere, på den eldre mannlige legen som kom inn til meg etter jeg tok abort som 16-åring og sa «Hvis du trenger noen å snakke med ordner vi det. Men hvis du ikke trenger det og bare er lettet og glad nå, er det også helt greit»

A year ago, I launched my book #OnFreedom in a war zone – in Kharkiv, Ukraine, 35 seconds from Russian artillery. Today, I'm launching the paperback in Portland, Oregon. Which is NOT a war zone. There is a difference in the real world between what's a war and what is not, and between truth and lies.

Prøvde å finne en ny høstjakke i dag. Dessverre ser det ut som jakker for menn nå kun selges i to stiler: fjelltur (eller løpetur) eller douchebag 🤷‍♂️

Al Gore at the Norges Bank climate conference just now: ”The fossil fuel industry is significantly more effective at capturing politicians than capturing emissions“

På klimakonferansen, som ofte ellers, fokuserer vi økonomer ofte på BNP/vekst. Dette er først og fremst fordi vi kan måle/verdsette slike effekter, og det underestimerer effektene: Om det blir mindre regnskog og is kan BNP øke, men det gjør ikke effektene ønskelige www.nbim.no/en/responsib...

Here is an actual image of the national media cycle quickly moving on from the No Kings protests...

Norsk bistand må fortsatt bidra til langsiktig utvikling og humanitær innsats utenfor Europa. Det er ikke bare et spørsmål om solidaritet, det er også i vår egeninteresse å utrydde ekstrem fattigdom, stanse miljøkrisene og bidra til en fredelig verden.

Common knowledge, according to the psychologist Steven Pinker, isn’t just what we know; it’s what we know is known. How does it shape our shared reality?

Årets Nobel Fredspris er delt ut i demokratiets navn. Den demokratiske tilbakegangen er blant vår tids største utfordringer – nivået i dag er som i 1986. María Corina Machado risikerer livet i kampen for demokrati – med ikke-voldelige midler. Link til kronikk👇

New article out this month on how doctors become fascists. 50% of German physicians joined the Nazi Party––twice the proportion of any other profession. US doctors today are arguably the most conservative in the world, and we're heading along a similar path. drive.google.com/file/d/1CAk9...

‘Fredsprisen til María Corina Machado er … mer enn en personlig anerkjennelse. Den er en påminnelse om at demokratiets fremtid hviler på dem som våger å protestere … .’ @mariannedahl.bsky.social i @aftenposten.no www.aftenposten.no/meninger/kro...

How over- and underrepresented are different causes of death in the media? Another way to visualize this data is to measure how over- or underrepresented each cause is. To do this, we calculate the ratio between a cause’s share of deaths and its share of news articles.

Altså, det er fullstendig skandaløst og horribelt det styreleder Kristin Vinje ved Meteorologisk institutt gjør her, nemlig å overstyre egne forskeres håndtering av media: www.khrono.no/styrelederen... Som akademisk institutt har MI en fordømt PLIKT til å vurdere alle sider av virksomheten sin etisk

Blog with Ramona Godbole: Unpacking the US’s New Global Health Strategy: Retreating When We Could Be Winning. There's stuff to like in the US global health strategy, but its built around rapidly sunsetting finance rather than rapidly sunsetting HIV & malaria deaths. Not Great...

Productive large firms are key to job creation, exports and productivity growth in EMDEs. In high income countries, large firms can access capital markets to finance their growth - DFIs need to help them do so in EMDEs too. Useful report from BII on how to do so. www.bii.co.uk/en/news-insi...

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."

Ingen oppfordring om å senke farten, være oppmerksom og kjøre etter forholdene fra bilvesenet

Still confused about EPSA vs. EPSS? Which conference should you go to? Here is a link to clarify things: epssnet.org/uncategorize... TL;DR: "EPSA" community will be in Belfast. Same community, new organisation, bigger mission; slightly new name; and a very different foundation @epssnet.bsky.social

Den største trusselen for et svekket Nato er den framvoksende fascismen og isolasjonismen i USA, ikke at Europa tar mer ansvar for egen sikkerhet. Den gamle franske linja om sikkerhetspolitisk uavhengighet fra USA har i etterpåklokskapens lys vist seg å være ganske fornuftig. Kanskje lytte nå?

Enoh Ebong, president of the Global Development Department at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, discusses what's needed in this moment of transformation and change.
