Mourning the passing of James C Scott this weekend. I couldn't have asked for a better mentor as a young grad student at Yale. He was the model for everything from amazing scholarship to being a wonderful human being.

Thank you Senator! NJ is behind you - we know how important foreign assistance is and the dismantling of USAID will cause irreparable damage to our standing abroad.

[CSPAN @cspan]

.@SenatorAndyKim at USAID: "I talked to the security guard just in there. He said he has been given specific orders to prevent employees of USAID from entering the building today. I just find that to be absolutely ridiculous. This is no way to govern."

[Atul Gawande @Atul_Gawande]

@USAID is enduring am unlawful shutdown, purge, and dismantling.

It’s thrown its vital work into turmoil—based on spurious, absurd, and willfully slanted attacks.

Here's what’s real: the massive and growing harm now being caused.

I’m hearing there are many long lines to vote across Pennsylvania on college campuses because of record youth voter turnout.

PENNSYLVANIA STUDENTS: IF YOU ARE IN LINE TO VOTE STAY IN LINE TO VOTE YOU CANNOT BE TURNED AWAY SO LONG AS YOU ARE IN LINE.

🗳️ VOTE! 🇺🇸

Disaster. A second Trump term would make meeting Paris goals truly impossible- because the US wouldn’t even be in UNFCCC

[Climate Home News @ClimateHome]

Trump has promised to take the US out of the Paris climate agreement – as he did briefly during his 1st term – and is also reported to be under pressure to pull the US out of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) if he becomes president.

I and others have contributed thoughts mourning the loss of Jim Scott - we will miss his brilliance in writing, eclecticism in reading, strong support of students, and perhaps most of all love of good food.

There is zero chance a PM of Vietnam will ever tweet about my work, sadly, and not just because they don’t use social media!

Gratefully to see how many people appreciated James C Scott’s incredible body of scholarship. I wish Jim was here to tell him Malaysian PM Anwar Ibrahim was one of them https://t.co/BhXIcR75Tz

@RobGMacfarlane @briankturner101 He passed away on Friday. His new book about rivers (and particularly the Irrawaddy) went to the press for final edits before he died. Will be forthcoming from Yale University Press.
