"This past month, I’ve had flashbacks to the ICE abductions at @columbiauniversity.bsky.social. I cannot help but think that 👉🏻if this university did not normalize the kidnappings of their own students👈🏻, that things would be different today."

I and millions of Americans believe exactly the same thing Kasparov does.

Too many troops, too many new prisons, too much money not under Congressional supervision.

We're not just witnessing a mass deportation scheme anymore.

This is something significantly bigger and scarier.

With $48M in philanthropic backing, a division of USAID relaunches as nonprofit A division of the U.S. Agency for International Development eliminated by Trump administration cuts last year was reborn Thursday as an independent nonprofit

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

The last time he started talking like this, his allies minimized the risks and we ended up with January 6. This time we must take him literally and seriously. These comments are a five-alarm fire for democracy. In a functioning republic, he would be impeached and removed from office today.

Well, I suppose that finally settles the question of which one isn't a "real" Nobel Prize.

we're going to need to see Dem leaders in the streets

"please stop" is not working and they see it as weakness

Bravest motherfuckers you've ever seen. They just saw a neighbor get murdered and still out there. Maybe let's see some local officials with the power to arrest show as much backbone as these voters PAYING YOUR FUCKING SALARY

"ICE" beating man during arrest in Santa Ana California.

Closing out the session was @avivihadar.bsky.social presenting estimates using very cool NLP/embedding data on the extent, impacts, and costs of gender bias in patent evaluations over time in the US

Next was @ashleyywong.bsky.social, estimating the impact of colleges going co-ed on the production of knowledge of faculty members

(no explanation for the 🎃🦇-themed color of the slide...that was my phone, not reality)

She was followed by Reshmaan Husaam of HBS, presenting experimental work from camps of Rohingya refugees evaluating the impacts on psychosocial wellbeing and household beliefs of offering work to either the male or female spouse in the household

Session 2 summaries!

We were started off by Arielle Bernhardt from NYU, presenting work from an RCT in India estimating the impacts on a wide range of outcomes of giving new female police officers either mentors or another incoming police officer who is also female

@draliceevans.bsky.social came next, showing part of an exciting upcoming book about the global growth of Islam and the gender sources and implications of this

Next was @martinauccioli.bsky.social, presenting work showing how layoffs for male and female household members have differential impacts on return to work and household division of labor

Leading off was Raquel Fernandez of NYU, presenting a structural model estimated on admin from Sweden showing that more paternity leave made available for men changes how much leave men and women take, partly through cultural change

Going to try my hand at one-sentence summaries (h/t to @joshua-goodman.com for doing this so deftly for other conferences!)

The problem with allowing guns everywhere is that no one is safe anywhere.

This is super, super sad. I did not agree with the guy's politics, but no one should be murdered for their beliefs. My heart is with his family and friends. RIP. 💔

STOP Gun violence.
Praying for Charlie Kirk and family.

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional
