@GEMReport @_AfricanUnion @ACSLAfrica .A missed opportunity! UNESCO has long bought into the narrowness of "foundational learning" when it should be broadening the discussion of what needs to be taught in the early grades.

📢Coming on 29 October: the 2025 Spotlight Report on foundational learning in Africa! The new report “Lead for foundational learning” explores leadership as a driver of better learning outcomes. Stay tuned and explore more: bit.ly/4oOhDBV #BorntoLearn #LeadforLearning

@JustinSandefur In today’s world, cash transfers are a moral and practical necessity. RCTs show mixed results mostly because RCTs are inherently flawed. norrageducation.org/the-limits-of-…

My twitter feed: "cash transfers aren't living up to the hype" Every whatsapp group I'm in: "OMG, cash reduced child mortality by 45% in Kenya"

@JustinSandefur Counter counterpoint: .“Sustainability” is not a useful concept for ANY international “aid.” Reparations is. The global wealth imbalance is a result of years of colonialism and neocolonialism. North to South transfers of wealth should be the norm with only minimum conditions..

Counterpoint: I'm not convinced that "sustainability" is a useful concept for health aid to low-income countries -- much less that Gavi or the Global Fund should end by 2030. These funds are incredible value for money, and kids will still be dying in 5 years.

@OccupyDemocrats Unfortunately Trump is a sociopathic narcissist who is even unable to feel compassion for his own children or his wife, much less for strangers. I don´t say that to mock him. It´s a tragedy. For himself, for the country and for the world.

BREAKING: MAGA world melts down as Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde calls Donald Trump out directly to his face during a sermon at the National Cathedral — urging him to find compassion and mercy. This is the last thing Trump expected today... "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared. There are gay, lesbian, transgender children, Democratic, Republican, independent families — some who fear for their lives," the reverend said as Trump sat in the pews. She said that millions of Americans "put their trust in you." "The people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meatpacking plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals — they may not be citizens or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals," she added. Destroying Republicans lies about migrants, she said that those workers "pay taxes" and are "faithful members" of American churches, mosques, synagogues, and mosques. Appealing to empathy that Trump lacks, she said that the children of those migrants "fear their parents are going to be taken away." "Find compassion," she added, urging him to help vulnerable people fleeing from war zones and persecution — a tall ask for a man as demonstrably anti-refugee as Trump. Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that a real Christian president would heed the reverend's words — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

@nntaleb Trump is an egomaniac whose visions cannot be changed by the reality...

Trump is exhibiting some anxiety. This is like a trader sitting on a bad position. Animals detect weakness.

Trump really is either demented, an egomaniac -- or both! Imagine rambling on about trophy wives in a graduation speech.

I really dislike how Trump & RFK Jr treat autism as some terrible thing to be "cured." Some of my best students, close friends, & soldiers I served with are on the spectrum. Too bad no one cares about curing delusional, hateful, lying egomaniacs

Primary and show the door to every single Republican in Congress who goes against President Trump's nominees or his agenda. We didn't vote for those crooked egomaniacs to run this country.

@its_The_Dr Why does Trump & mindless MAGA go after Congress, Senate, musicians, actors etc. why isn’t Trump working for America and not be an EGOMANIAC?!

Republican Rep. Warren Davidson voted with all the Democrats against President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill. Time for a primary challenge.

Trump needs to be impeached. He’s a demented egomaniac out to destroy the economy to enrich the billionaires.

Trump has an ego so small, that he has to live in a fantasy world where he's depicted as a superhero. Can clowns be super heroes?😅 #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice Clown Prince Trump #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace #TrumpIsARussianAsset

@BonkDaCarnivore @realDonaldTrump just announced a trade deal with the UK. He couldn’t care less what the deal was. This is Trump’s Let’s Make a Deal Tariff Show, with 200 more deals-in-waiting to feed his narcissistic need for attention and praise. blog.umd.edu/stevenklees/20…

Let's examine this "full and comprehensive" trade "deal" with the UK: -The 10% tariffs on goods from the UK into the US remains (so no relief for taxpayers) -It DOES include lower tariff quotas for UK steel and car exports. Note the use of the word "quotas", so essentially it changes nothing because the quotas have never been met. -It puts an end to the THREATENED BUT NOT IMPLEMENTED 25% tariffs Trump threatened on steel and car imports -It's so "full and comprehensive" that it doesn't cover pharmaceuticals So, the TL:DR here is that the "full and comprehensive" trade agreement with the UK is missing all sorts of points and resulted in *checks notes* ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for the US. Meaning that our trade war with the UK was settled for ZERO, and Trump is just proclaiming victory even though there's been no change. The only thing this "deal" provided was pending but not yet implemented tariff relief for US citizens on British goods. Also worth noting that the effective tariff rate in the UK for US goods was 0.5%. Art of the Squeal
