#APSA2025 in Vancouver was a fine event but we need to rethink organizing political science conferences in Canada. It puts additional barriers for non-U.S. citizens and perpetuates inequalities in the field. No wonder many international students on F1 visas could not attend.

'Dead to Rights' movie now showing around Los Angeles and San Francisco. Justice had to be done! And I hope a future Chinese War Crimes Tribunal will punish Israel and the US for Gaza, like they punished Japanese Generals. The UN will never do it! #GazaGenocide

What a powerful and truth telling film, right? The Chinese can make Great Movies, like Dead to Rights. Next we need a movie like that on Gaza. #GazaGenocide

Kil**ngs in #Gaza have surpassed those in Dachau. American soldiers Liberated that Death Camp in 1945. No such luck for the #Palestinians Compare Gaza v Death Camps from WWII pics: How could this happen? Vid has answer. #genocide

This was Biden's big failure. We did our part, the voters, we gave the Dems four full years to close the door on autocracy, they naively thought they could do it by demonstrating how nice it was to have a democracy. Imagine FDR with a similar response to the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Iโ€™m past the point where Iโ€™m willing to just say it was naive. The Democratic Party is complicit in this failure.

She's a disgusting abomination! Look at what the Democratic Party has done to our country!
