le.ac.uk/news/2026/ju... Suspending UK study visas for students from Afghanistan, Myanmar, Sudan, and Cameroon was a disgraceful decision. I'm pleased to see my institution contributing to the Mosaik scholarship initiative. There should be more than 9 UK universities involved with this.

Every crime in which an ethnic or cultural minority is the perpetrator used to justify repression or worse of minorities. Every crime in which a minority is the victim used to argue for the idea that ethnic diversity is inherently unstable and should be reduced or eradicated.

This is key: Focusing on Trump's "contradictions" tends to perpetuate the idea that he doesn't have any actual convictions. It's true he doesn't care about specific policy positions. But underneath that "flexibility" lies a very consistent worldview of grievance, domination, and hierarchies.

Larry Glickman@larryglickman.bsky.social · last yr.

I think this piece makes too much of Trump’s supposed “contradictions.” For example, it is not a contradiction but the very essence of his politics that “law and order” applies to his opponents but not to him or his supporters. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/08/u...

Joseph MacKay@lefteleven.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Very glad to see this article out in the world. In it, I argue for a critical reading of realism's political history, in terms of exile and how realists historically experienced it. /1

Realism, ideology, and exile Joseph MacKay Abstract What is the relationship between political ideology and realism in international relations? This article reconceptualizes the realist relationship with ideology in terms of a recurring experience of ideological exile. Exile was a crucial part of the biographical experience of early realists like Hans Morgenthau and John Herz. I argue that the idea of exile also marked an aspect of their relationship to ideology. Realists often allied themselves with ideological camps, through which they aimed to shape political practice. Yet realists mistrusted ideological utopianisms, and these liaisons often ended badly – in effect driving realists into ideological exile. The resulting exile persona has marked realism durably, recurring among later realists who do not have a biographical experience of exile in the conventional sense. Exile has thus become a persistent, constitutive feature of the intellectual project of realism itself. My argument has ongoing implications for how we understand realism as a political project. Keywords: realism; ideology; exile; policy practice; history of international thought

Hillsborough campaigners accuse Starmer of ‘insult’ after failing to introduce promised law

Government sources said new amendment to bill being worked on that would ensure duty of candour applies to individuals working for security services Families whose relatives were killed in disasters and who have suffered state injustice have written to Keir Starmer, accusing the government of an “insult” for failing to introduce the promised Hillsborough law in this session of parliament. Labour has promised for almost a decade to implement the law, which will impose a “duty of candour” on the police and public authorities, but the government pulled the bill in January during its passage through parliament.
