Another abhorrent moment in Trump's America. The time for solidarity and action is now -- especially for those of us with immigration status (and other) privilege to speak out.

I spoke at yesterday’s Vigil for Democracy at Columbia. Here is an excerpt.

Unbelievable

Täna on Eesti iseseisvuspäev.
Tähistame Eesti vabadust, mille võitsime samuti ülekaaluka vaenlase vastu.

Täna möödub ka kolm aastat täiemahulise sõja algusest Ukrainas. Meie kohus on toetada Ukrainat kuni võiduni.

Elagu Eesti! Слава Україні!

I've decided to collect my DiD materials in a single place.

psantanna.com/did-resources

There, you will find
- 14 lectures of my comprehensive DiD course
- Shorter lectures/talks I have given on DiD
- My DiD R/Stata/Python packages
- Some DiD checklists
- DiD materials from my friends

Enjoy!

We streamlined six new DID-like estimators and created this tutorial for implementation in R.
yiqingxu.org/packages/fec...

Hope you no longer need to spend months figuring out what these estimators are and how to use them.

Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia will tomorrow permanently disconnect from Russia’s power grid.

Russia can no longer use energy as a tool of blackmail.

This is a victory for freedom and European unity.

CCR just canceled the first round elections in #Romania. While Georgescu would've been a disaster as a president, the decision further undermines Romania's democracy. And it will greatly complicate forming a new gov't as mainstream parties go back to fighting each other. hotnews.ro/breaking-tur...
