Es ist offiziell: Ich habe ein #Berufsverbot bekommen (Auszüge⬇️). Weil ich eine marxistische Analyse der #Klimakrise vertrete. Ich stehe dazu: Die Wirtschaft muss demokratisiert werden, damit nicht einige wenige Superreiche für ihre Profite den Planeten zugrunde richten können.

Two things enabled the CDU's extreme rightward lurch: 1. Rise of the AfD and Merz' own, deep racism. 2. 16 months of anti-muslim racism dressed up as Staatsraison, pushed by all mainstream parties & media with genuine, relentless zeal. Total omertà on #2. No chance in hell it has played no role

As a Turkish migrant in Germany, I've followed this whole debate with much fear & anger. I'm relieved that the bill hasn't passed but seeing how easily certain "principles" are given up & certain statements are uttered by supposedly "centrist" politicians makes me scared to the bone.

Friedrich Merz, the leader of the German CDU, just claimed in parliament that gang rapes are committed on a daily basis by asylum seekers in Germany. It is pure far right propaganda. The mainstreaming of the far right is happening on steroids in Germany right now.

"If the world adopted a plant-based diet, we would reduce global agricultural land use from 4 to 1 billion hectares" Imagine 3 billion more hectares for fully wild ecosystems. Diet is THE elephant in the room when it comes to reversing nature collapse. ourworldindata.org/land-use-diets

📙 It’s actually out: the volume "Lawless Zones, Rightless Subjects" edited by Seyla Benhabib and Ayelet Shachar! It explores the current conditions of asylum, migration governance and rights/rightlessness at state borders.

'The Ethics of Migration Policy Dilemmas' is a cooperative research program I lead with @julia-mp.bsky.social, Martin Ruhs, and Rainer Bauböck, hosted at @mpc-eui.bsky.social. The aim is to explore research Qs about migration that connect political theory, the social sciences, and policy-making.

The book's main argument: There are good reasons to think states have principally legitimate authority to exclude immigrants. But: These reasons rest on moral values reliably undermined by core features of many real-existing exclusion regimes, especially in the Global North.

Hello, new followers: I'm a postdoc working largely on the political theory of migration. One current research project is on the (il)legitimate authority of migration control; another on hard moral dilemmas in migration policymaking. More on each in separate posts.

I made a little starter pack of organizations doing work on supporting migrants and refugees and advocating for migrant & refugee rights. Surely, I am missing lots of organizations doing great work. Please share, and let me know who to add! go.bsky.app/S8HZX3m

Will the US negativity to immigration reverse now? Quite likely! Folks forget immigration backlash works both ways. Pro-immigration politics may be unpopular, but so is unnecessarily cruel anti-immigration politics. Our new paper on "The Reverse Backlash" is open-access now doi.org/10.1093/poq/...
