We Arnold Ventures aim to fill a void in evidence-building of programs: too few studies track long term outcomes. In this evaluation we funded, 1 to 1 tutoring improved short-term but not long-term outcomes. I'm optimistic on high dosage tutoring but there's still much to learn.

I led the trip with Rep. Jamaal Bowman Ed.D.. It’s a fact: there are checkpoints in Hebron where security separates who can walk where by religion. Other checkpoints keep roads “sterile” of Palestinians. I’ve been there dozens of times. Join me. Ritchie Torres NYS Assembly Member Amy Paulin Eitan Fischberger

This may seem radical to some, but overdose deaths skyrocket during the holidays. You can keep your loved one alive if they are still actively using. Recovery is a journey & the biggest predictor for success is “be ready” for the process. If your loved one isn’t ready, they still…

Striking how many responses missed my point--which was to communicate the dangers of unwarranted generalization of analogous vivid imagery of an LGBTQ+person, POC, a Muslim, an undocumented immigrant, or others. Every group provides vivid examples of the best+worst of humanity.

Folk shouldn't be fired from jobs because they openly expressed political opinions. If someone says something bombastic/poorly-reasoned, the right response is to address what they said, not to fire them from a job for which they are qualified. Did we learn nothing from the 1950s?

A viral video shows a Jewish man racially-harassing a Halal street vender. The often anti-Semitic posted reactions to one man's hideous behavior underscore broader dangers of wrongly-generalizing--particularly when a vivid image matches stereotypes regarding a minoritized group.

I renew my plea for a big org -- The New York Times or CNN or whatever -- to do a simple service for voters: compare a state with a new Dem trifecta to a state with a new GOP trifecta. You want to see what the parties stand for, what they want? Look at what they do when they gain power.

Israel's head of central command has been given a security detail. Not to protect him from terrorists. To protect him from far-right Israeli activists who threatened him after he began working to curtail extremist violence in the West Bank. mako.co.il/news-military/…

“encampment sweeps were noted to be physically, psychologically, and socially destructive. Sweeps left participants feeling anger, loss, and hopelessness while further driving the societal marginalization of unhoused people who use drugs.”

A student asked for the wisest sentence I've heard as a policy researcher+advocate. John Stuart Mill takes the prize: 'He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that.' Dude brought some game in philosophy+stuff. Words to live by in our times of angry absolutism.
