RIP Vartan Gregorian.
A native of Tabriz, Iran, Vartan was truly unique. Rarely has a person this important and influential, been this kind and gentle.
Vartan, the President of the Carnegie Corporation, passed away today š„š„š„ https://t.co/ajLyXxHdMr

When American troops pull out of Afghanistan later this year, a small army of contractors will likely stay behind https://t.co/Q6vFSDL6la great piece from my @CIPolicy colleague @LDWoods3 explaining why the withdrawal won't be precipitous at all.
So looking forward to this panel with @PeterBeinart, Asli Bali, and @joshua_landis on the humanitarian impact of broad-based economic sanctions. Do these broad-based sanctions advance or violate human rights?
RSVP now!

if you work for @marcorubio, I have lots of things I'd like to ask of you. But i'll settle for this. The unsubscribe link on your press release emails (which I never signed up for in the first place) doesn't work. Please fix it so I can make them stop.

This is the problem with being an anti-bigotry organization in the US but opposing equality for Palestinians. You have a glass jaw. As I wrote a while back, white nationalists like Carlson see Israel's system of ethnic privilege as a model for the US https://t.co/lsBLxhWxhXhttps://t.co/Hvrft9iRb3

After receiving so much criticism for his recent open promotion of white nationalist "replacement theory" he's doubling down. Of course. https://t.co/Z7csXDuN0z
It's not the textbooks: when oppressed people hate their oppressors, it is less because of the books they read or television shows they watch than the injustice they suffer in their daily lives argues @PeterBeinarthttps://t.co/STFU5v15hs
