OK. Let's be honest. Who is thinking about leaving Twitter for Threads? And who is planning on just trying to do both, on top of all the other media?

We are everywhere! Great to see @AU_SIS @phd_sis alumna Ela Rosmiller here at #CES2023 @CES_Europe in #Iceland. Lots of debates here on populism and its links to authoritarianism, especially in Poland.

H.E. Guoni Th. Johannesson, President of #Iceland at @CES_Europe #CES2023 - humor is necessary in political discourse. Humor is fine when you make fun of people in power. It's a sign of confidence. It's very different when your jokes target those who can't defend themselves.

In 1990, I was at a protest in front of the White House and I asked someone what the Gulf of Tonkin was. It was Daniel Ellsberg. He schooled me and went on to become an active member of Marc Raskin's national security seminar at GWU. Rest in Power. https://t.co/qfGYJfjfyC

Disillusioned by the Vietnam War, Daniel Ellsberg leaked a top-secret history of the conflict, the Pentagon Papers. It led to a landmark Supreme Court case.

Embracing the Bamian site is not only a gesture to archaeologists, Taliban officials suggest, but also a sign the regime is more pragmatic than during its first rule.

NEW: U.S. lawmakers have asked the White House to punish South Africa because of intelligence suggesting that South Africa provided arms to Russia for the Ukraine war. They are asking the administration to move an important trade forum out of South Africa.

South Africa is accused of helping supply Russia with weapons for the Ukraine war, a charge that South Africa denies.
