In today's a fractured strategic environment, each node of the global economy – be it a shipping corridor or a data platform – becomes a new potential front line for great-power conflict, warns @CarlaNorrlof.

"Weaponized interdependencies will splinter global trade into rival blocs, undermining the ties that drove unprecedented prosperity gains for billions of people in recent decades." (https://t.co/9jxRTraAPR)

After Assad's collapse, Syria’s new HTS-led order offers the US a choice: keep bombing & sanctioning—or engage diplomatically, and push for inclusive governance. Time to pivot from hostility to partnership, and let Syrians reclaim their destiny

The fall of #Assad’s regime is not the end of #Syria’s struggles but the beginning of a complex journey toward reconciliation, recovery, and rebuilding. Read this analysis by @MarwaDaoudy

The people of Odesa waking today to devastation after Russians sent drones equipped with thermobaric warheads onto apartment buildings all over the city.

Russia no longer seems to have interest in military targets, pure attempts to terrorize the civilian population.

@polidemitolog The message is not “don’t run women,” the message is have an honest conversation about sexism, stop pretending it doesn’t exist, and develop strategies on how to fight it, e.g. education and other incentives.

Still waiting for someone to explain to me why men are more worried about inflation than women.

[David Weigel @daveweigel]

Still seeing "Harris couldn't turn out millions of Biden voters," and the count in swing states says that's not true.

In Wisconsin, Harris got 37k more votes than Biden. The most votes of any Dem candidate since Obama in 2008.

She lost bc Trump added 77k more votes since 2020.

[Professor Olga Chyzh @olga_chyzh]

@david_darmofal @KamalaHarris If only she could also get the turnout…

[Professor Olga Chyzh @olga_chyzh]

@polidemitolog I am agnostic about class interest, I just want to know why there is a gender gap in preferences.

[Professor Olga Chyzh @olga_chyzh]

@polidemitolog Because we know women can’t be sexist.

[Professor Olga Chyzh @olga_chyzh]

@BirgerJ2 @rmkubinec Makes sense, since men do all the grocery shopping.

Here some possible answers I could think of:

[Professor Olga Chyzh @olga_chyzh]

@nataliemj10 Yes, but there is an underlying reason why swings are correlated. I wonder if it happens more when one of the candidates is a woman.
