Given everything that's going on in the world, it feels a bit trivial sharing this, but here's my paper with Dursun Peksen that just got published at @JPR_journal journals.sagepub.com/eprint/PSB2UJW…

@zhaabowekwe @ggreenwald May he burn in the deepest pits of hell

Cody Roberts filmed himself chasing a 9-month old female wolf on a snowmobile, laughing at her terror & exhaustion, repeatedly hitting her. He duct-taped her mouth, brought her to a bar. For hours, people took photos as she bled to death. Then he shot her. 2 yrs probation.

@Carlos_DG_kWh @alechat1 Sir, this is a Wendy's

@alechat1 Train locomotive with diesel engine?? No, thank you!! Those diesel engines should have been banned years ago‼️

➡️ Left - Vegas Loop: max of 20 people been transported ➡️ Right - Tram 18 in BXL: max of 185 people been transported (9x more), faster The future is on the right, not on the left...

The legal assessment of the U.S. intervention is complex and requires careful consideration. International law remains the guiding framework. At this stage, political instability in Venezuela must be avoided. The objective is an orderly transition to an elected government.

Nicolás Maduro has led his country into ruin. The most recent election was rigged. Like many other countries, we have therefore not recognized his presidency. Maduro has played a problematic role in the region.

@BesenyoJ @menevisc @efetokdemir Thank you!

@OZarpli @menevisc @efetokdemir Congratulations!

🚨In a new paper with great @menevisc & @efetokdemir, we find that sanction threats--even when credibly backed--do not increase public support for concessions in the target (🇹🇷case). Moreover, positive inducements provoke backlash among some groups. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

@LiselHintz I’m sorry Lisel, geçmiş olsun

Personal news that’s tough to share, but that I hope can help others. Yesterday my tenure case was denied. I don’t know where I’ll land, but I’ll continue hosting my MENA writing solidarity group as long as I can. If you know anyone who could benefit, please send them my way.

@h3lp3rm4n @iknowchris2 @thetonymichaels 1) people are supposed to carry their passports everywhere they go? When walking to a corner store, or running at park? 2) Even if you did that, that still wouldn’t be enough to prove your legal status. You’d also need to carry other paperwork (e.g. I-20 for F1 visa holders)

@iknowchris2 @thetonymichaels If you don't have your ID on your person what the fuck is wrong with you? If you are mad about us having more scrutiny then blame it on Biden because he let in millions of people that don't belong here. Honestly if someone gets swept up in it that's an acceptable loss now.

Great paper on "Department Research Productivity in 19 Scholarly Political Science Journals (1990–2018)" by Garand, Qi & Magaña. Shows, e.g., Pitt ranking 20th (per faculty) compared to 37th on USNews. cambridge.org/core/journals/…

@sues86453 @KenCuccinelli @elonmusk Learn to read first.

@KenCuccinelli @elonmusk Here’s another fun fact most people don’t know. A full 45% of Visa recipients fail to report and/or return to their home countries at the end of their tenure in the US. Estimates equate that to 11 million plus additional illegals in this Country!

Here's an H1B visa stat for you: Last year, the top 30 H-1B visa employers laid off 84,556 people at the same time as they sought 34,414 new H1-B foreign workers. This includes firms such as @elonmusk's Tesla.

@elonmusk It was you who turned this platform into a cesspool of racists, extremists and bots, genius

Please post a bit more positive, beautiful or informative content on this platform

@efetokdemir @BritJPIR 🥳

Our article is online first @BritJPIR . Comparing public attitudes in USA, Germany & Türkiye, we show that public concerns over human rights violations in foreign countries are highly strategic, based on political alliances rather than legal context. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/13…

@gonzalezrostani Congrats!

I’m beyond excited that the first chapter of my dissertation has been officially accepted by the Journal of Politics! The journey of publishing has taught me so much, & I’m especially grateful to everyone who supported me—and to those whose critiques made the paper even stronger
