Delighted that my essay, "Statelessness, National Sovereignty, and German and Austrian Jewish Refugees in China during and after the Treaty Port Era”, has been published! A bridge between projects to help me think about statelessness more deeply. Thank you, Jay and Kolleen, for this opportunity!

State Terror

A brief guide for Americans

Watch “Judgement at Nuremberg” (1961) and let’s consider a possibility of SCOTUS justices being tried. By, say, Europeans.

Rewatching Judgement at Nuremberg (1961). Not even 40 min in and I’m already unnerved. I truly hope for our courts staying independent.

Explain to me again how did musk get “elected” to the highest office with zero regard for the Constitution and national security? Also he’s not even US born.

It’s wild to see academic talks continue when there is a wildfire happening as if it’s business as usual. Now it is not the time to toot your own own horn without engaging the public. This is why I’ve started posting on LinkedIn.

Is anyone not paying attention to domestic terrorists? Of course because they’re US citizens. Let’s discuss privileges of citizenship, shall we?

PSA: When media reports on President Trump's expected invocation of Alien Enemies Act, it would be good to remind the reader/listener: The Act also includes summary deportation of permanent legal residents and other immigrants who are lawfully present as well. It's that extreme an emergency power.

I'm just a small-town professor. I'll never be a provost or chancellor. But here's some free advice: we're about to hold the most watched college sports event in 🇺🇸. Every college president should be all over TV, at every game, explaining why the March Madness of federal budget cuts is a huge crisis.

Mark Copelovitch@mcopelov.bsky.social · last yr.

👇🎯 The public isn't going to understand this, unless the presidents of R1 universities around the country <loudly> & <collectively> get out into the public square & start explaining this & calling out the existential threat to the entire 🇺🇸 university system. The silence is deafening right now.

Seriously just fucking shut March Madness down

DrDinD.bsky.social@drdind.bsky.social · last yr.

The nations top research universities (R1) are under assault by the Trump administration. Pitts has paused all PhD admissions for next year. Many R1 schools are also Division 1 NCAA schools. All SEC, Big 10, ACC, Big 12, Ivy League schools. Suspend sports and explain it is due to Musk, Trump

I cannot keep up with the grief of watching education getting gutted. Bloodbath underway at Department of Education. I do not trust the DOJ to handle OCR cases.

Oh surprise. Woman from DOE saying that women and POC are disproportionately impacted by layoffs. White men, especially from certain schools, are surviving.

Trump is STILL - RIGHT NOW - tweeting about Tesla. He's spent more time protecting the richest man in the world's profits than he has protecting healthcare, education, jobs, or veterans in the last 6 weeks as president.

🚨 The Trump administration has Marco Rubio *personally* signing off on orders to deport Mahmoud Khalil, according to sources inside DHS & State Dept. With no stated evidence of crime. Source said the administration has “multiple targets” beyond Khalil to detain, in similar fashion.

Marco Rubio Personally Signed Off to Detain Mahmoud Khalil on 'Foreign Policy Grounds,' Sources Confirm

The government is staking its entire case to deport Khalil on whether Rubio “personally” thinks the Columbia student protest negotiator would “compromise” US foreign policy.

When DEI compliance goes way too far. Makes me think that any book or film that has “gay” in it to mean “fun” way back when like Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby has been banned.

Brian Tyler Cohen@briantylercohen.bsky.social · last yr.

The US military has removed photos of the B-29 bomber “Enola Gay” — which dropped the first atomic bomb on Japan — apparently because it contains the word “gay,” which violates their new anti-DEI rules.

So how did I do with this bingo board I made? If I’d had “Dem” instead of “Squad”…

Thank you, Rep. Al Green.

Ukraine is Europe! We stand by Ukraine. We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor. Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

Trump cannot be given a state visit to the UK. It should never have been offered. The invitation must now be withdrawn. You might as well hand it to Putin.
