As an LA resident, I can confirm that LA isn’t a war zone. I took my daughter on the metro to see the Angel City game at BMO stadium last night without incident. ICE is the problem. They raided a local mall near me and did random stops. They are the ones causing chaos. Not the people of LA.

If you don’t like the tariffs, just remember that Congress could take back their authority over tariffs at anytime. They gave it to the Pres under the RTAA and later bills. They can take it all back.

You know the best way to fight against Russia’s use of asylum seekers as “hybrid warfare?” Welcome the asylum seekers! In fact create a legal pathway that allows them to come legally. It’s only anti-immigrant sentiment and racism that makes this “warfare”. www.nytimes.com/2024/02/10/w...

Ku Klux Klan, 1923: Immigrants are a threat to the "heart-blood of the nation"

Trump, 2023: Immigrants are a threat to the "blood of the country."

Totally different!

In fact, the rest of us will applaud you for not sending home more plastic crap that we will have to throw away.

Could we have a day where we didn't talk about the Ivy League? Just one single solitary day where we think about the other 99% of higher ed in the US?

PEPFAR, one of the most life-saving global health programs, is at risk — EA Forum Summary: • International funding and coordination to tackle HIV/AIDS and support health systems in lower- and middle-income countries, is at risk of…

PEPFAR is at risk of not being renewed by US Congress.

It is estimated to have saved over 20 million lives so far, and even now averts over a million deaths annually.

In my view this is the most important risk to global health we face today.

Knowing Judy, I think it’s just that she has been at Stanford since before there was email and she just picked judy@stanford like we all picked our AOL screen names not thinking it would follow us forever.

Is there anything more stressful than when the playoff game goes to PKs and your child is the goalie? But, she saved 2 and scored one to win the game.

On the IPE side, I think we are more robust but also IPE and CPE have become more and more overlapping as more of the world globalized.

📣The Journal of Experimental Political Science is calling for submissions of papers validating experimental treatments.📣

Does anyone here have contacts to the US or UK embassy in Chad? I’m trying to help a 17 year old boy who was essentially kidnapped by his abusive mom get back to the US. Boy has UK citizenship.

I’m so so sorrry.

Me too!!! Thanks!

You might say, where will these people go? That is a tough question. In a just world, maybe Britain (Sykes) and France (Picot) should take them in as reparations for what they did. But more likely, maybe we could bribe Turkey or Tunisia to take them.

You might say, well since these people hate Hamas, shouldn't we have them stay and fight against Hamas. Well, that would be great in theory but Hamas has all the weapons and the power, so these folks are basically hostages.

You might be worried that the evacuees are Hamas supporters. Well, they probably aren't. I've interviewed people from all sorts of forced displacement contexts and they almost always hate the govt that made them leave. Even if they previously supported the regime, the crisis changes that.

Potentially controversial opinion: the US should evacuate anyone who wants to leave Gaza. Why? (1) right thing to do. (2) It denies Hamas human shields. (3) takes away a talking point from Hamas. You know are going to use cases of mothers crying over dead kids to bolster their case for war.

Private donors gave more than $350M to support election administration in 2020. Many critics argued that these grants swung the election from Trump to Biden. In a new paper, @apoorvalal.com and I find that these grants did not provide Democrats a noticeable advantage.

So excited for my brilliant colleague. All IPE scholars should assign her work on migration as reparations.

I wish I studied land reform to be part of this awesomeness.
