Not how the rule of law works. Precisely the opposite, in fact.

Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social · 6mo ago

You should read this. It is the type of detail that experts in authoritarian regimes see as telling. In this case, state agents are offered impunity from higher ups, and the legal system is rendered inoperative as a mode of accountability. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/u...

Re the February Dear Colleagues letter that threatened funding for schools & universities over DEI-related efforts: ‘[Ed Dept]…moved to dismiss its appeal. It leaves in place a federal judge’s August decision finding that the anti-DEI effort violated the First Amendment & federal procedural rules.’

Lovely to see the outpouring of love for Kimuli, whose presence is so very missed. I’m adding here the “in memoriam” colleagues wrote for the department (a bit more personal than the one from the university!) polisci.columbia.edu/content/memo...

Belinda Archibong@belindaarch.bsky.social · 7mo ago

I am so very sorry to hear about the passing about my friend and colleague Professor Kimuli Kasara. She was a brilliant scholar and a bright, funny, warm person. I remember first meeting her as the only other Black woman/faculty at the Columbia political econ seminar and feeling relief/happiness

Thanks for posting. Looks interesting and will read with interest. Glad to see academic posts like this on Bluesky.

Max Alyukov@max-alyukov.bsky.social · 7mo ago

New preprint is out! Focusing on Russia, this paper asks what happens when disinformation awareness itself becomes a tool of authoritarian rule. We often assume that learning about disinformation increases resistance to propaganda. But what if the regime weaponises it? 1/7

This pretty damning. Hard to see how faculty will take his leadership seriously.

Five years since the January 6th insurrection and a reminder that in the moment many Republicans and Trump voters were appalled, but many also were not.

If kidnapping a country’s leader doesn’t count as an act of war, then what does?

STEPHANOPOULOS: Why wasn't congressional authorization necessary? RUBIO: It wasn't necessary because this was not an invasion. We didn't occupy a country. This was an arrest operation.
