Today’s last look: The Taliban have placed severe restrictions on women and girls in Afghanistan, eliciting global condemnation. My case for why the international community needs to engage more with the Taliban to try to improve conditions for women in Afghanistan.

A must-read essay by Ian Lustick revealing the lengths Israel's backers will go to silence anyone who challenges their narrative. Lustick is a remarkable scholar, and we should be grateful for his intellectual gifts, scholarly integrity, and courage. https://t.co/DwJ6GegEe6

Ha a great first day at #MPSA2024. Enjoyed reading excellent papers by panel presenters

[Weiss Mehrabi @WeissMehrabi]

@JamesFowleroxox @DStephenVoss Not yet but will for sure, now that I know.

@MarkSimonHK @WCWohlforth @DavidSacks @elonmusk They sure can, but they'll have to read the piece, digest it critically, and then ask questions. There is hardly anything elitist about it.

[Weiss Mehrabi @WeissMehrabi]

@DStephenVoss There are many loopholes to that rule. Pretty sure, your students already know plenty if you ask :)

@DrTravisNTaylor I'm not an Americanist, nor have I checked recent findings, but I thought, in general, celebrity endorsements had little to no no effect on voter choices. Is that true?

[Weiss Mehrabi @WeissMehrabi]

@BonjourGeorgi Sounds interesting. I may have some feedback after I read it more thoroughly.

[Weiss Mehrabi @WeissMehrabi]

@smart_emilee Congratulations!

[Weiss Mehrabi @WeissMehrabi]

@PhDVoice Yes do it.

Why #Gaza is such a problem for #Biden: in 2020 a big advantage for Biden was the perception that he was a fundamentally decent person whereas #Trump was clearly incompetent and cruel. But now Biden looks heartless or clueless (or both) and many see him as no better than Trump.
