Yesterday, I met with @the_IDB President Ilan Goldfajn to discuss key areas critical to the development of Barbados, the Caribbean, and the people of the Global South.
I look forward to working together to push for solutions that create real impact for our region and beyond.
Thrilled to share that @the_IDB’s debt for nature conversion with Ecuador 🇪🇨 has received @LatinFinance Financing Innovation of the Year award. This operation will generate lifetime savings of more than US$1 billion allowing Ecuador to allocate part of the resources for conservation efforts in the Galápagos Islands to promote greater sustainability and improve the quality of life of Ecuadorians. https://t.co/zKzmE57gar
I just delivered my first President's Report @the_IDB about my first 12 months and steps ahead. I came to the IDB to make a difference, & what a difference a year makes! The IDB is moving forward, at full steam. We set the Bank on a solid, reform-minded trajectory, with a focus on impact and effectiveness. #ImprovingLives

We are sending our children to school every day with the tacit understanding that they may be slaughtered in order to feed the multi-billion dollar beast that is the gun industry.
We don't have to live like this. Children should never die like this.

Wow!!! This commercial from @AnnieAndrewsMD is a must watch. You are correct, we don't have to live like this. We need to elect more people like you. For my friends around Charleston, SC please vote for Dr. Annie Andrew's for Congress.
Ever notice how conservative's solution to people not getting a women pregnant is always to tell all women to not be a "slut" and never to tell all men to be celibate or get a vasectomy or not be a rapist? I wonder why...
i love when people are like "how can you be a Catholic & pro-choice" it's super easy when you treat faith as a personal relationship rather than forcing your religion on everyone else in a country based on religious freedoms, maybe try that????
If nine unelected Supreme Court justices put in power by non popularly elected people have the power to overturn a policy supported by over 70% of Americans isn’t tyranny- I don’t know what is.
I can't fathom any human being who could take even a second to imagine the sheer terror of those classrooms, the helplessness of parents or the scalding grief in its wake—and stridently take the side of the god damn gun. That kind of inhumanity is something my mind cannot grasp.
