I moved back. Home. After 23 years in beloved Boston. In the middle of uncertainty, 3 months after my house was hatefully destroyed in Beirut. Cheers for love, hope, purpose & life with the most resilient & life-loving people of #Lebanon, & the most amazing family of @AUB_Lebanon

As of this morning, compared to this time last year Baltimore has seen a 31.7% decrease in homicides and a 22% decline in non-fatal shootings. This progress is not a coincidence. The reductions are the direct result of everyone working together toward a safer Baltimore.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions – rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking concrete steps to make sure all students at Harvard can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope other institutions follow suit.
“No government—regardless of which party is in power—should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue.” - President Alan Garber hrvd.me/GarberRespond347t

Guns are the number one killer of children and teens in America. School shootings have gotten SO BAD that I convinced a Newsmax political panel to agree with me that we need #GunReformNOW. Really!

Having to watch this #AmericanCarnage terrorize every aspect of our daily lives is infuriating. Today it happens to be #ALLEN Texas, Tomorrow it may be your community. Get off the sidelines of history, and become part of the solution. #Vote

Why is #GunViolence a uniquely American Public Health Crisis — a question I often get. At the core of this problem is having Easy Access to Firearms. Easy access ➕ ‘numerous variables’ can lead to injury, death and disability. That’s The Formula.
