This November, we will help elect a majority to Congress who agree that the government should not be telling a woman what to do with her body.

When Congress passes the law to restore reproductive freedoms, as President of the United States, I will sign it into law.

John Ossoff, the 36 yr-old Jewish senator from Georgia, articulated a clear-eyed case for why 🇺🇸 should insist 🇮🇱 protect civilians in Gaza.

An unmitigated humanitarian disaster in Gaza, he said, is a moral failure & undermines American national security.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

I am the only Palestinian American serving in Congress, and my perspective is needed here now more than ever. I will not be silenced and I will not let anyone distort my words.

I’m from Detroit, where I learned to speak truth to power, even if my voice shakes.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Israel's indiscriminate bombing is hitting hospitals, refugee camps, and killing thousands of innocent people. It must stop now.

School voucher systems are common, but policy designs vary dramatically. @harshilsahai's JMP uses data from India, the world's largest voucher policy, to study how design shapes equity & efficiency. He finds that impacts depend critically on design choice. https://t.co/UxyfVOtd29

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

People will honor @SpeakerPelosi as the first woman to hold that post. But history will remember her as one of the most skillful, durable and accomplished legislative leaders in American history. A truly towering figure. One of a kind.

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

America is better because Nancy Pelosi chose to serve. I am so grateful for her friendship and leadership.

[Al Gore @algore]

Nancy Pelosi has been the greatest, most effective Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives in American history. Thank you @SpeakerPelosi for your dedicated service and leadership.

[Pat Dubois @patdubois]

as a Canadian, this is how it feels watching American elections these days

[Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones]

If legacy admits are deemed Constitutional at universities, then admits based on being a descendant of slavery should be as well. Especially at universities such as UNC and Harvard that were financed by slave money and that prohibited descendants from enrolling.

@TomasEMonarrez @rothstein_jesse Congrats!

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

The evidence is clear: open offices are bad for people and organizations.
-27% more sick days
-14% lower cognitive performance
-70% less face-to-face interaction

For the sake of health, productivity, and collaboration, let's design spaces with doors.

[Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones]

Imagine being in a foreign country, not speaking the language, desperate and with your child, and being dropped off in the middle of the street in a strange city with nothing because a politician wants to stoke the ugliest instincts of humanity. American exceptionalism indeed.

[UC Berkeley Civil & Environmental Engineering @BerkeleyCee]

Professor Ashok Gadgil co-edited an Open Access graduate-level textbook, "An Introduction to Development Engineering," introducing the emerging field of Development Engineering and relevant applications through contributions from more than 40 practicing experts as co-authors. 👏

[Arianna Legovini @alegovini]

After doing this for many years, we have a pretty good idea on the value added of experimental research. Small investments in research of less than 1 percent of project value buy us large increases in development impact of more than 50 percent. That’s a lot.

[Sarah Kimani @sarahkimani]

Kenya will need a strong civil society in the absence of a strong opposition.
