Today I joined the #NoKings protest in Springfield, Illinois.

Because the actions of this administration donโ€™t just happen in Washington โ€” they reach into our homes, our families, our work, and our communities.

I am proudly American โ€” and I will proudly stand up when I disagree.

Last week's Finance for Development (#FfD4) conference in #Seville proposed bold initiatives, but little commitment.
The core challenge remains: how to turn declarations into real transformation.

Why Bangladeshโ€™s Muhammad Yunus Is Not Committing to Early Elections The chief interim adviser appears to favor the newly formed student-led NCP and is giving it time to organize itself before it faces voters.

Climate disasters in Asia โ€“ from #Mongoliaโ€™s steppe-fires to #Cambodiaโ€™s floods โ€“ are happening now. Early warning systems can deliver a 10x ROI by saving lives & livelihoods. Proud to co-author w/Lukas Laube from @peopleinneed.bsky.social

New paper on anticipatory cash transfers to herders during an extreme winter in Mongolia. ACTs have significant positive effects for poorer recipients, not so much for the rest of our sample.

Personal learnings: Anticipatory action is promising. Targeting matters. More research is needed.

๐Ÿ™Thank you, @ts-jenkins.bsky.social and Lukas Laube. This is an excellent discussion on the importance of life-saving early warning systems (EWS).
As prevention is better than cure, it is better to protect people from natural disasters before they strike.

The findings from this survey are horrifying & demand immediate attention from all adults. Almost a third of LGBTIQ+ youth in Croatia, aged 15-17, have attempted suicide.

All of us across the Balkans must advocate for safer spaces & stronger mental health support systems.

It's important the American public realize they are being subjected to an organized campaign of political "shock & awe". The purpose of Trump's cabinet picks & litany of maximalist policy proposals is to overwhelm the psychological capacities of the public, denting their abilities to oppose him.
