Today, just 14 countries—all high-income economies—have laws that give women the same rights as men. Too many developing economies are hurting their own economic potential by sidelining the productive power of half their citizens.

This is...perfect.

I don't get every cue, but I think I get the basic cultural signaling.

President Biden reminded us in his speech today what PM Golda Meir told him in 1973:

There is so much sorrow to cover in Israel that it's almost overwhelming.

Because of all the deaths, the last funeral at Har Herzl begins tonight at 11 PM. His mother is afraid no one will come.

This is what they’ve done to us. They’ve tried to annihilate us, this time in our own home.

But we will prevail, once again.

108 bodies discovered in Kibbutz Be’eri: women, children, entire families. That’s 10% of the town’s residents. Let the world know.

La prensa israelí reporta: 7 ciudadanos Argentinos 🇦🇷 asesinados por Hamas en Israel, y otros 15 desaparecidos.

This ghastly attack on Israel is causing a great deal of hopelessness and anguish around the world. This oped by Dany Bahar 🌎 in The Forward offers an invaluable perspective: on why we should grieve but not despair.

In my classes, I strive to create an inclusive environment for all perspectives. That's partly why I avoid public statements outside my lane. But as a member of the Harvard community, I feel compelled to address the statement from 36 Harvard student groups docs.google.com/document/d/1TG…
