I have had death threats for my work on trans rights. I have been stalked. I have had people try and have me thrown out of my University. I am by no means alone, and lots of trans-inclusive academics have spoken publicly about the violence and harassment they face. But no mention of that here.

I regret to inform you that it is very bad news when things are going worse than <checks notes> <Steve Levitsky> expected

Made it to Chicago for #ISA2025? Can’t sleep because of the jet lag? Then join us for a Saturday morning panel on strategy and ontological security. I’m presenting a paper on Germany’s Zeitenwende and the narrative reordering of temporal security, a coproduction with @malteriemann.bsky.social

Jesus Christ, this is beyond bad. Nato is de facto over. No one in their right mind can expect this president to come to the aid of anyone, ever. Or to honor any deals.

Die Diffamierung kritischer Zivilgesellschaft kommt direkt aus dem Handbuch autoritärer Regierungen. Seit Jahren AfD-Strategie, jetzt auch von der künftigen Bundesregierung – gestützt auf rechte Hetzartikel über einen ‚Deep State der NGOs‘. Es wäre zum Lachen, wenn es nicht so brandgefährlich wäre.

Wir haben gestern lange darüber gesprochen was wir tun würden wenn Autoritäre und Faschisten die Macht übernehmen. Behält man Stellen in Bürokratie und Wissenschaft, wandert man aus, wie würde man Widerstand organisieren? Als Deutscher kennt man diese Fragen. Man hat sie häufig rückblickend ... 1/

The last two weeks I've met, worked with, learned from people seeking asylum on both sides of the UK border - in our Bradford office, a community centre, and asylum hotel, and then the camps of Calais and Dunkirk. State-led dehumanisation of refugees is the key to the west's wider political crisis🧵

Protests may not have direct effects on elections but studies show that they matter - for voters on the margin, those at risk of political apathy, and new generations that don't yet cast votes but are there observing. Smart politicians with integrity will listen (the dying center right probably not)

🚨 Call for Abstracts 🚨 Cora Lacatus, @gloefflmann.bsky.social and I want your abstract 📜 for our section on 🐍'Deception and Truth in Populist Political Communication' 🐍. All info below 👇

Okay, so I've made a #German foreign policy starter pack with academics working on German foreign and security policy. I've probably forgotten a ton of people, so please let me know whom to add.

We’re going to Belfast. A stellar lineup of panels by the BISA US Foreign Policy Working Group, a book roundtable, and a cracking panel on security & temporality in IR with @malteriemann.bsky.social, @therealisthom.bsky.social, @alexhlar.bsky.social, Norma Rossi and Maria Mälksoo #BISA2025.

Das ist keine "umstrittene Wahlkampfaktion", das ist Einschüchterung und Terror. Mag sich jemand in der Redaktion beim SWR mal vorstellen, was das mit den Menschen macht, die Ziel dieses völkischen Furors sind? Und was muss noch passieren, ehe man diese Rassisten stoppt?

Ah, endlich fordert in der ZEIT mal wieder jemand selbstbewusst bei gleichzeitiger Unkenntnis unbegrenzte Befristung (europarechtswidrig, aber wen interessiert das schon?) & hat nicht kapiert, dass die Antwort auf „Forschung braucht Zeit“ ENTfristung ist, nicht BEfristung. #IchBinHanna #WissZeitVG

Interesting article aboutt the many ways that 'autism' (claims to, about and/or 'on behalf of' Autistics) is appropriated & weaponized by multiple factions of the far-right.This further alienates actual Autistics, promoting #ableism, #antiAutistichate and new forms of #eugenics

Coming soon(ish)! 🥳 A new, and I hope unorthodox, introduction to international theory. 2028 sure sounds like a long time away now but somehow I sense that trying to write a 120,000-word book around a full-time job will make that time just fly right by!

This fascinating study would explain why people “vote against their own economic interests”. One thing I keep hearing is that ppl who voted R in this (and other recent) US election(s) will come to regret it when their SS, medicare, other state assistance goes away. 1/

Great book launch! Thanks everyone!
