1/ Rubio’s MSC speech included the following: “The United Nations still has tremendous potential to be a tool for good in the world. But we cannot ignore that today, on the most pressing matters before us, it has no answers and has played virtually no role. It could not solve the war in Gaza.”

@martinsandbu.ft.com on the state of RUS economy "The picture is clear. The RU economy is under enormous strain, & is running out of resources. ... The message for the west — what remains of it — is that the medicine (sanctions) is working, but the dose should be increased." 100% #UkrainianView

Russia is running out of money

I teach Sociology of Childhood, and when we talk about school shootings, my students tell me about how they also do these checks in their classes--noting locks on doors, thinking about how to escape and where to hide. I hate that they have to mind those risks while trying to learn.

Everything about the shooting at Brown is horrific & should make America ashamed of the slaughterhouse we’ve become. But I’m especially holding in my heart the parents who were eagerly planning for their kids to get home for break. Getting them holiday gifts. Planning to cook their favorite meals.

Longer statement from Brown University: "We are very sorry to share that we have confirmed reports of multiple shooting victims, but we are not able to share their condition. They have been transported to local hospitals."

DECEMBER 13, 6:05PM:
At 4:22 p.m., we alerted our campus to an active shooter incident near Barus & Holley
Engineering. We informed our community to shelter in place by locking doors, silence phones and stay hidden until further notice. This remains an active crime scene, and law enforcement continues to search for the suspect. The situation is ongoing, and all members of the community should continue to shelter in place.
We are very sorry to share that we have confirmed reports of multiple shooting victims, but we are not able to share their condition. They have been transported to local hospitals.
Our first priority is the safety of our community and coordinating closely with local law enforcement and medical personnel to ensure their safety. We are working immediately to determine who was in the building at the time of the shooting. We had multiple exams scheduled in that building from 2 pm to 5 pm. We can confirm that support services are on site.
Senior administrative leaders from across the university are convened in emergency command to mobilize ongoing response and support for our community. We are establishing support for our community and families.
We have been and continue to be very grateful to law enforcement and emergency medical personnel. We have relocated students to get support services at a secure location.
Please continue to take all steps to remain safe. Follow the instructions of law enforcement personnel and avoid the area.
