Academics discoursing, people dying.

Do people dying of hunger know that your paper on food insecurity is out?

No, I do not want to set up an “out of office” automated response, i want a feature where the email is sent back to the sender telling them that I am on holiday and they should send it when I am back.

Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have been reporting for weeks about this systematic killing, and today Haaretz newspaper exposed testimonies from soldiers in the Israeli military who were instructed by their commanders to open fire at unarmed crowds gathering to receive aid. This horror must stop.

My great grandfather was born enslaved in Mississippi. That’s a fact. It’s unremarkable to me that my economic history colleagues, who love linking any and everything, neglect this fundamental fact when they talk about mobility, race, and everything else they sidestep in their so-called scholarship…

Example of what happens when a mainstream economist discovers structural inequality (without 'discovering' the theories to explain it): very impressive empirical documentation of it + completely out-of-touch assumptions about how to fix it (taxation, cheap debt, human capital).

Israeli settlers set fire to homes while families were still inside, according to Palestinian media reports about an arson attack on a village in the occupied West Bank.

Setting up "aid distribution points" and then massacring people who come to obtain food is sincerely one of the most evil things I have ever seen.

Israel kills 32 Palestinians waiting for food at US-backed Gaza aid sites Troops gun down starving crowds, capping deadly first week of operations for controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.

Autoritäre Kräfte auf dem Vormarsch | D+C - Development + Cooperation Der Konflikt zwischen den Atommächten Pakistan und Indien ist erneut aufgeflammt. Die autoritären Regime beider Seiten schüren Hass. Vor allem die Zivilbevölkerung leidet darunter.

Now that the tensions between the India & Pakistan have (thankfully) subsided, it’s absolutely essential to critically reflect on who the real winners and losers of this conflict are.

Ah to witness the fall of an empire in one’s lifetime.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

Happy to be a part of this project!

Missing out on the information (and misinformation) from the ground re tensions back home but refusing to use a platform owned by a throughly problematic billionaire.

his phd in the US is having to revisit his decision. And millions of others only wanting to get by their lives are having to navigate uncertainties they had absolutely no role in. This is tiring, this cruel.

That our mundanities & daily lives can so easily upended by the whims of men pathologically lusting over power is so deeply unnerving. A friend who was planning her wedding is now unsure of her travel plans, another hoping to relocate back to Pakistan is similarly in a fix, another hoping to start
