The story of Wes Moore, governor elect of Maryland, is quite extraordinary- from poverty and pety crime to the army, Johns Hopkins, Oxford, White House, entrepreneur, writer... Worth clicking on the video.
RT @iamwesmoore: I defied the odds to become a Rhodes Scholar, Army officer & CEO.
Now, I'm announcing my run for Maryland Governor.
Because I believe no matter our start—we all deserve an equal opportunity to succeed.
I'd be …
RT @michaelreid52: Vamos a ver que piensen cuando se hace un sello conmemorativo para Vox
@jesus_pic @Microsoft Does not work. The moment you start typying with your Spanish keyboard, the red underline appears.
Dear PPT developers @Microsoft : PPT presentations change proofing language in every slide to the language of the keyboard, even if you set up proofing language to English and Windows is in English. Only fix I know is to change proofing language slide by slide. Very frustrating!
@ojblanchard1 Save Putin's face? "He did not do it, his generals did."
From a "rest of the world" citizen perspective, we want a predictable, democratic USA, that sticks to its international commitments. Thus the actual House/Senate balance is irrelevant-- only the defeat of those who do not believe in democracy matters.
Hence, a great day.
RT @ThePlumLineGS: Don't overlook this: At least 4 of the 5 swing states that decided 2020 won't have election-denying governors or secretaries of state. It may soon be 5. That's a huge step toward averting a 2024 crisis. Voters put MAGA authoritarianism on the defensive.

The Commission is taking s serious approach, by amending the Multiannual Budget (MFF) rather than the (often preferred) magic moving money around.
This deserves respect and support.
RT @JHahnEU: #Ukraine's funding requires urgent action. On the funding side, we will use all possible means to support Ukraine 🇺🇦.
The @EU_Commission will borrow on financial markets on behalf of the #EU. The guarantee f. the borrowing will be given by…
Hoy hay que celebrar dos buenas noticias para el mundo:
- Independientemente de cuáles sean las mayorías (Demócratas o Republicanas), los candidatos trumpistas, que niegan la democracia, han sido derrotados.
- Putin admite su derrota y se retira de Jersón.
A huge day for #Ukraine, a terrible day for Putin
- Trump /Trumpists defeated: Congress likely to continue aid.
- Kherson to be abandoned.
RT @I_Am_NickBloom: Paper on minimum wages and outsourcing by Beatriz Pousada, Stanford Job Market Candidate https://web.stanford.edu/~bpousada/
Finds higher minimum wages
A) Increase outsourced workers earnings
B) Cut outsourced employment
Topical with #WFH increasing outsourcing and minimum wages spreading
Fantastic news, finally, Mme @vonderleyen !!
RT @vonderleyen: The EU continues to stand in solidarity with Ukraine.
We propose an €18 billion support package for 2023.
Funding in regular tranches to help recovery in the short-term and strengthen institutions.
Preparing the ground for a reconstruction of 🇺🇦 progressing on the EU path.
@DanielGCast2003 Si gana el que niega la democracia (Trump) es malo, si.
Hoy ganan republicanos y demócratas. Pierde Trump.
This is how democracies do not die. After 246 years of Congressional elections, America's democracy is much more robust that many feared
A very good day for America and for the world.
RT @masuch_klaus: 👇Military aid for 🇺🇦:“The UK alone supports 🇺🇦more than the EU combined.“ The UK, which sadly left the EU, is doing much more than🇩🇪,🇫🇷,🇮🇹,🇪🇸 combined to help🇺🇦to defend freedom, democracy, and to prevent Russian war crimes! @lugaricano @berlin_bridge @TimothyDSnyder @ben_moll
RT @mattsteinglass: As a last thought, the places that keep springing to mind for me are Israel and Vietnam. These are nations made in war, and the funny thing is that this makes them absolutely a good bet to invest in. 18/18
@mattsteinglass That was my impression on March and April: impressive sense of union and solidarity, feeling of intensity and meaning.
RT @JoshuaBrault3: An update to my previous thread on the McDonald-Shalizi paper. After looking at their codes I believe the findings in this paper are a result of coding errors. Not to do with the optim. procedure, but with the definition of model and data. Explanation in the following tweets.
Uuf (para España y Europa): Ningun país cuya fertilidad descendió por debajo de reposición (menos de 2 hijos por mujer) ha conseguido devolverla a un valor por encima de 2.
RT @Conor_A_Walsh: Incredible fact presented at @UTAustin Scale and Innovation workshop. No country has EVER managed to take fertility above 2 once it drops below.
