Als ehem. Professorin @BrandtSchool teile ich den dringenden Hilferuf.
Es bricht das Herz, frühere Studierende zu sehen, die um ihr Leben fürchten, nur, weil sie ihr Schicksal in die Hand genommen haben.
Das globale Vertrauen in Unterstützung aus D nimmt langfristig Schaden.

Beyond, it's a dramatic loss of trust into German democracy support.

Best opportunity to discuss the shortcomings of the UNCAC including recognition of Grand-corruption and intl mechanisms to prosecute corrupt state officials who escape their own countries with $$$ & have foreign investments. Corruption happens at the top

Al Sharpton delivers the eulogy at the memorial for George Floyd.
We're in the early stages of what is going to become a series of cascading crises, and we will not be able to get back to anything resembling normal life unless the major powers in the world can find some way to cooperate.
My take:
I’m moving $1B of my Square equity (~28% of my wealth) to #startsmall LLC to fund global COVID-19 relief. After we disarm this pandemic, the focus will shift to girl’s health and education, and UBI. It will operate transparently, all flows tracked here: https://t.co/hVkUczDQmz
