Important legal analysis of The #GazaGenocide by IAGS President @drmelob.bsky.social

@alexhinton.bsky.social answers a question we are all bewildered by: 'Why do MAGA faithful support Trump if his ‘big beautiful bill’ will likely hurt many of them?' They see him as a divine savior 'who can help ward off the threat of radical left socialism'. #USA theconversation.com/why-do-maga-...

Out now! We look at a new #UK initiative – the Atrocity Crimes Standing Group & ask them what they plan to do to make states follow int law obligations + prevent atrocity crimes With @ewelinaochab.bsky.social @aarifabraham.bsky.social & Christine Chinkin www.asymmetricalhaircuts.com/episodes/epi...

**NewPub** -- Why do the #MAGA faithful support #Trump when his policies – like cuts to #Medicaid -- hurt them? #CognitiveDissonance – many think he’s “Crushing It” and counterarguments are dismissed as #fakenews. Bottom line: MAGA sinks or swims with Trump. @theconversation.com

Columbia’s $200M deal with the Trump administration isn’t just about antisemitism — it expands federal oversight into admissions, hiring and more. We unpack the agreement in a Q&A with a #highered scholar: theconversation.com/columbias-20... #edusky

Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” slashes Medicaid and boosts tax breaks for the wealthy, yet many of his supporters back it anyway. Why? Loyalty, identity and a deep belief that Trump alone can fix America. theconversation.com/why-do-maga-... By @alexhinton.bsky.social @rutgersupress.bsky.social

With half of Americans viewing those on the opposite side of the political spectrum as “downright evil,” it's hardly surprising that 80% of US adults worry about political violence, notes @alexhinton.bsky.social in his piece for @projectsyndicate.bsky.social www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/t...

My @projectsyndicate.bsky.social piece on the rising threat of #PoliticalViolence in the U.S. – a #tinderbox that #Trump has greatly amplified as the “polarizer-in-chief.” The U.S. is in for a rough ride through the 2028 election. www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/t...

@alexhinton.bsky.social on the 'lone wolf' right-wing shooter myth in the #USA, & how these men are all part of 'packs' that espouse white nationalism, anti-LGBTIQ agendas, etc. A broader culture of hate that promotes violence & exclusion of 'the other'. theconversation.com/violent-extr...

Yet another useful Conversation piece from @alexhinton.bsky.social, this time on 'white genocide' & its use in the USA. theconversation.com/trumps-white...

Just out – my @theconversation.com piece noting that #Trump 's remarks about #WhiteGenocide in #SouthAfrica are really about U.S. #immigration and the #GreatReplacement conspiracy theory – as well as distraction from his failures to deliver his promised #goldenage theconversation.com/trumps-white...

2 million people were killed by the Khmer Rouge government in Cambodia from 1975-1979. How much can we learn from genocides like Cambodia to counter such actions today? 50 years later, genocide expert @alexhinton.bsky.social talks to The Scholar's Circle: scholarscircle.org/scholars-cir...

Appreciated the opportunity to speak on the concerning situation in the US under #Trump2.0 yesterday at John Jay College.

Wow, just wow. The white cisgender male supremacy is truly embedding itself throughout all aspects of #US governance. It is depressing to watch this happening, esp in a country that has had such hard-fought gains in #humanRights. Dialing back to the early 1900s now.

Glad this #OpenAccess piece on #localization, a key but reductively used term, is out with @gsqjournal.bsky.social. Elena Lesley and I offer the metaphor of #torque – in the context of #Cambodia -- to argue for an #anthropological approach attuned to lived-experience and #power relations.

Here are three things that individuals can do now to stand up for democracy:

. @alexhinton.bsky.social: "The MAGA faithful believe that Trump is restoring an era of American exceptionalism in which the U.S. is an economic powerhouse, common sense is the rule, and traditional values centered on God, family and freedom are celebrated."
