IDF commanders told Haaretz that southern Lebanon is being demolished “like Gaza.” The declared goal is to prevent civilians from being able to return.
Both are war crimes punishable under international law.

Any Social Democratic party worth its name should stop chasing the far-right old white male voter and listen to the young female voter…
Magnifique rassemblement contre le racisme à Saint-Denis.
L'unité du peuple de France est le présent et l'avenir de notre patrie républicaine.
Nous sommes plus forts que ceux qui veulent nous diviser.
Une erreur d’analyse commune et délétère pour expliquer la mauvaise performance des listes communes de la gauche : l'électorat PS aurait préféré la droite. C'est presque partout faux. Par contre il y a souvent une grosse mobilisation des abstentionnistes pour empêcher une victoire de la gauche unie.

Depuis dimanche soir, la fachosphère et plusieurs médias ont relayé de faux propos prêtés à l’élu insoumis et noir. Il est depuis la cible d’un harcèlement raciste, miroir de la France de 2026 mais aussi des délires que suscite La France insoumise dans le débat public.

This is not only incredibly weak, its false equivalence between Farage and Polanski is dangerous. One of them is a threat to liberal democracy, the other one is not. The text is a prime example of how radical centrism and the profound arrogance of self-declared liberals legitimize the far right

Abstract of the paper: In response to rising immigration flows and the fear of Islamic radicalization, several Western countries have enacted policies to restrict religious expression and emphasize secularism and Western values. Despite intense public debate, there is little systematic evidence on how such policies influence the behavior of the religious minorities they target. In this paper, we use rich quantitative and qualitative data to evaluate the effects of the 2004 French headscarf ban on the socioeconomic integration of French Muslim women. We find that the law reduces the secondary educational attainment of Muslim girls and affects their trajectory in the labor market and family composition in the long run. We provide evidence that the ban operates through increased perceptions of discrimination and that it strengthens both national and religious identities.
As Abdelgadir and Fouka show, the headscarf ban in France negatively affected the educational attainment of Muslim girls, as well as their labor force participation and employment rates: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Are female economists treated differently than males in academic seminars?
These authors wanted to know whether gender shapes how scholars are treated when presenting research.
So they built a massive dataset of 2,000+ economics seminars, job talks, and conference presentations from 2019–2023...

As people still need to hear this: the Danish social democrats are polling at below 20%. In this poll, the radical right in Denmark also nearly receives 20%. It remains striking how often Denmark is still referenced as a case were social democrats beat the radical right.
Based on our new PPRNet research briefs @tabouchadi.bsky.social, @siljahausermann.bsky.social, and I argue in The Guardian that building alone won't solve the housing crisis. Housing is fundamentally redistributive, and progressive policy must treat it as such.

Congratulations! The project looks exciting! @nathaliegiger.bsky.social supervised my thesis, and working with her was amazing! I cannot recommend pursuing a PhD thesis with her highly enough.

Academic publishing is a lucrative business for a very small number of private academic publishers. For 🇦🇹, this paper estimates: public spending benefits publishing companies with a large amount - 25% of the annual basic funding universities receive from the Ministry of education
There is a strong positive association between equality and development over the long run — that's what this new study based on our historical series available on wid.world is clearly showing.
Key findings in thread 🧵(1/9)👇
Moving to Opportunity, Together Many couples face a trade-off between advancing one spouse’s career or the other’s. We study this trade-off using administrative data from Germany and Sweden. We first conduct an event-study analysis of couples moving across commuting zones and find that relocation increases men’s earnings more than women’s, with strikingly similar patterns in Germany and Sweden. Using a sample of mass layoff events, we then find that couples in both countries are more likely to relocate in response to the man being laid off compared to the woman. We investigate whether these gendered patterns reflect men’s higher potential earnings or a gender norm that prioritizes men’s career advancement. We provide suggestive evidence of a gender norm using variation in norms within Germany. We then develop and estimate a model of household decision-making in which households can place more weight on the income earned by the man compared to the woman.
Our new paper shows that men benefit from couples' long-distance joint moves more than women do, in both Germany and Sweden. Is this just b/c men are usually the main breadwinner? No, it's hard to explain the patterns we see w/o a gender norm prioritizing men's careers. www.nber.org/papers/w32970
When we think of sexism, it's easy to think of *active* efforts to discriminate against women. But sexism also operates *passively* - like through our inaction on issues like childcare and paid family leave. In that context, return-to-office policies are sexist in consequence, even if not in design.
New, from me:
It was a terrible week, one that inspired some truly awful takes. The worst was the effort by Bari Weiss and The Free Press to smear universities as "the biggest culprits" to blame American political violence, with faculty training "jihadis."
