Of all the scholarly associations fucking up right now, the International Studies Association is fucking up the most. Mass resignations from the academic freedom committee, section chairs gagged, executive overreach, mass email gaslighting, zero accountability. medium.com/@bdsatisa/ce...

Given the Dodik news, it's wroth reminding that the very existence of Republika Srpska could have been averted even in 1994-95, but the EU and US made an active choice to continue to push for its continued existence as an entity within an independent Bosnia Herzegovina. 1/🧵:

Heavy teaching & meeting day so only just catching up on the news. Absolutely sickening to see who the US voted with in the UN. Meanwhile, at my house - & at so many European houses - the Ukrainian flag continues to fly. #SlavaUkraini.

As a Kosovar citizen, I find this message—on our Independence Day, no less—deeply insensitive to our historical suffering and politically erratic, if not malicious. Denial of "plausible genocide" anywhere is denial of "plausible genocide" everywhere. Not in my name.

In Knack een stuk van @texvanb.bsky.social. Natuurlijk is dat onwettig, al is het wel zo dat in de praktijk (1) EU-burgers de facto verblijfsvoorwaarden hebben die haaks staan op te lang beroep doen op bijstand & (2) overmacht bestaat. Regels zijn Europees bepaald. Ondanks “discretie” van OCMW’s
