My staff kept the secret cat room in our office building hidden from me for a month. As punishment I took this little guy home with me.

As we mark the two year anniversary of the full scale Russian invasion of #Ukraine, I am proud of the work that the Mercy Corps Ukraine and its partners are doing to help Ukrainians rebuild and recover from the horrors of war. Mercy Corps mercycorps.org/blog/community…

Minnesota proud. The Governor is right, last night’s votes that have secured 11 Uncommitted delegates was about being heard. Minnesotans want a permanent and lasting ceasefire and are using all the tools available to them to get their President to change course.

While this day celebrates women around the world, every day is a day to thank #Afghanwomen for continuing to demand their right to education, to work, the freedom to live as they wish. They are on the frontlines of the battle for #WomensRights and we all must stand with them.

Just visited an art therapy session for children run by our partner Perspektiva in Mykolaiv. Below are stuffed animals they give to kids so they have something to hug when in the bomb shelter. Heartbreaking. #Ukraine️ Mercy Corps

Biden expressing anger at Israel for killing humanitarians and starving children while continuing to arm Israel is the equivalent of Republicans offering thoughts and prayers after a mass shooting.

Pets provide incalculable support in times of crisis. I am delighted by my encounters with these loving creatures on my field visits in #Ukraine️.

This morning's attacks on #Ukraine’s largest children’s hospital are a brutal reminder that attacks against #civilians must stop immediately. Hospitals are #NotATarget, children are #NotATarget. Vicki Aken

Thrilled for Simone Biles and Team USA for taking the gold. Sad that anyone thinks they needed to "redeem themselves" for only winning silver in the last Olympics. Both are pretty amazing accomplishments.
