Brief from the Presidents’ Alliance on Higher Education and more than 80 universities says arrests and deportations of student protesters create a “climate of fear” at universities across the country. This is a big deal—the first time universities have weighed in. knightcolumbia.org/documents/eh...

In any authoritarian regime, there are people who make a livelihood by rationalizing the actions of the leadership, making them palatable to a general audience by offering analogies with reasonable theoretical statements. Their profesisonal title is usually something like "chief propagandist"

1 / Going into what’s expected to be a big weekend of protests around the US, my team at the Crowd Counting Consortium (@djpressman.bsky.social, Soha Hammam & Chris Shay) has issued our monthly data release. TLDR: protest in the US is growing at an impressive pace. A few key highlights:

Es fällt mir wirklich schwer zu verstehen, wie sich in dieser politischen Großwetterlage selbst Linke hinter die Forderung nach einer Aufrüstung der Bundeswehr stellen, über die dann in ein paar Jahren möglicherweise Faschisten die Befehlsgewalt ausüben.

The militarization of Indonesian politics under #Prabowo unsurprisingly affects freedom of protest and political expression: "ASEAN Parliamentarians for Human Rights (APHR) vehemently condemn the police brutality in response to protesters and journalists covering the mobilizations in Indonesia."

In the US, Mahmoud Khalil faces deportation. In Turkey, protest against imprisonment of İmamoğlu is banned. In Germany, the climate justice group Letzte Generation is charged with forming a criminal organization. All part of the same trend. The right to protest & free speech is under attack globally

Ist das die intellektuelle Antwort auf die Krise? Wenn Friedens-& Konfliktforschung angesichts aktueller Bedrohungen fordert, auf Politik ("Taktik") zu verzichten, gräbt sie ihr eig. Grab. Das ist die "Wissenschaft frei von Ideologie", wie es sich das Sondierungspapier wünscht. Aber wohin führt das?

Auch Teil vom #Sondierungspapier: verfassungsrechtlich soll geprüft werden, ob man Menschen für Antisemitismus den Pass entziehen kann. & nirgendwo (!) ein Wort zu Rechtsextremismus. Diese Mobilisierung von Erinnerungskultur & Antisemitismuskritik für eine rechte Agenda ist einfach nur zum Kotzen.

Why Canada isn't having the same bird flu/egg price crisis as US: Avg size of Canada's egg farms ~ 23,000 hens Avg size of American egg farms ~ 50,000 to 6 million hens Canadian supply management = more livelihoods, keeps prices stable, and is safer. www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/pe...

Ein Blick auf den Stadt-Land-Gegensatz. Abgebildet für jede Partei ihr nach Bevölkerungsdichte mittlerer Wahlkreis: 50% ihrer Stimmen sind urbaner, 50% ländlicher. AfD im Westen stärker und damit etwas urbaner, BSW ähnlich wie Union (weil Ostdeutsch), Grüne bleiben stark urban, Linke urban wie nie.

I see a lot of desperation about German election. #BTW25 Let me provide a perspective from Trumpland: AfD will win at most 25%, which means that 75% do NOT vote for far right! That is still a strong democratic mandate. Use it to strengthen democracy! Don't empower the far right unnecessarily!

The way Berlin dealt with UN Special Rapporteur Francesca #Albanese today is unacceptable. The #silencing of universities is out of control. If democracy is to survive, this authoritarian anti-intellectualism must not prevail. Dear liberal professors, now would be a great time to finally speak up.

Publication alert! It was a joy & an honour to write the conclusion to this forum on "writing for reflexivity" (ft.
