Woot woot New York🥳

Dass wir im heutigen Stadtbild so viele Stolpersteine haben, liegt übrigens daran, dass sich mal eine Regierung an bestimmten Menschen im deutschen Stadtbild störte.

9 Jahre Stadtbild-Störung. Stolz drauf.

Very tense in Istanbul tonight: police tried to prevent CHP lawmakers and citizens from entering the CHP (via Halk TV). Incredibly worrying that police and ordinary citizens brought against each other like this.

Members of the main opposition party in Turkey, whose presidential candidate and dozens of mayors are in prison, cannot enter their own party building in Istanbul because tomorrow (Monday) the Istanbul branch of the party'll be taken over by a trustee appointed by the regime. Oligarchy in action!

Riot police have been deployed to the Istanbul headquarters of Turkey's main opposition and roads around the building blocked as party members rally there against a court's suspension of its local leadership in what they see as the 'judiciary being used as a political weapon'.

Meanwhile in Turkey, competitive authoritarianism is slowly but surely shedding its "competitive" aspect and moving toward full "authoritarianism."

Dear academic friends, what social media outlets do you use to keep up with new academic research, workshop/conference/fellowship announcements? I was using old Twitter for that purpose, sadly it's of no use now:(

Read Sinem, who is always spot on.

I know the world is on fire but here’s a piece i wrote on the potential long term impact of the end of birthright citizenship, in which i invite the US to look at Germany to see why the implementation of restrictive citizenship policies is not a good idea: www.bostonglobe.com/2025/06/19/o...

Sociology is the science of saying “it’s more complicated than that” in a way that gets past peer review.

Looking forward to sharing my research in London, etc next week: 1. reacpol.net/suspect-citi... on May 19

1) The PKK leadership has announced the organisation’s disarmament&dissolution. A couple of points stand out from the statement: i) Criticism of the Lausanne Treaty that marks the foundation of the Republic of Turkey&the 1924 Constitution as the landmarks of denying Kurdish existence as a people

🚨 BREAKING: PKK holds congress in response to Ocalan's call to end war with Turkey, @amberinzaman.bsky.social reports www.al-monitor.com/originals/20...

According to this 2025 report by Friedrich Ebert Foundation, many immigrants to Germany leave the country after a while mainly because of the lack of a "welcome culture", which prevents them from developing a sense of belonging, and dissatisfaction with the social environment.

I think the word I am looking for is holy frick. GDP contributions from 2019 to 2024. Germany's GDP would have been 6% lower, had it not been for foreign workers. (HT @maxkrahe.bsky.social)

🇹🇷📢 Opposition leader #İmamoğlu’s X account was blocked. Just think about it: Erdoğan controls state media, most private outlets, employs thousands of journalists to spread the regime’s truths. Yet they fail to convince the public. And they fear, to the core, one man tweeting from his prison cell.

Zorunlu ve gönüllü göç nedir? Bu ayrım neye dayanarak yapılıyor? Bu kategorileri nasıl tanımlıyoruz? Göç hareketlerini yalnızca bu iki kategoriyi kullanarak tanımlamak mümkün mü? Bu sorular üzerine yazdım👇🏼

Turkey has blocked access to the X account of imprisoned Istanlbul mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu due to reasons of national security and public order. Seems Elon Musk's X once again complies with AKP's efforts to restrict freedom of expression

X hesabı kapatılan İmamoğlu, TikTok ve Bluesky'dan seslendi: "Biz pes etmeyeceğiz, siz pes edeceksiniz"

EU academia is a precarious mess where junior scholars live from one 2-year grant to another, chasing jobs across the continent, but sure, let's try to attract some people who will run back home the moment a reasonable person is in the White House.

Ah be Sırrı Abi😢 Sözümüz olsun hem adil bir demokrasiyi hem barışı yeşerteceğiz bu topraklarda, bir gün mutlaka... Huzur içinde yatasın, gözün arkada kalmasın.

Sooo, Turkey wakes up to the news that the arrested Istanbul mayor İmamoğlu’s lawyer’s lawyer has also been detained. Never a dull moment in this country!!!

İBB Deprem Risk Yönetimi & Kentsel İyileştirme Daire Başkanı Tayfun Kahraman'i, Istanbul'un diger yoneticilerini & tum siyasi tutuklulari serbest birakin. Deprem bir kez daha hatirlatti ki Istanbul halkinin suni gundemlerle, Kanal Istanbul gibi rant projeleriyle kaybedecek tek bir dakikasi daha yok

Rüyamda Mahir Polat’ı ziyarete gittim, evi ziyaretçilerle dolup taşıyordu. Ülkeye bak, rüyalarımızı bile politize etti. İşin tuhaf yanı, yanımda Netanyahu karşıtı İsrailli arkadaşların anne babası da vardı, Mahir Polat için yemek yapıp getirmişler.“Dünyanın bütün demokratları, birleşin” mesajlı rüya

Bir kez daha hatırlatmak gerekti madem: Egemenlik kayıtsız şartsız milletindir. #23Nisan #tamyerinerastgeldi

*Uzun zincir uyarisi*-> Siyaset bilimciler defaatle yazdilar ama hatirlatma olsun: Turkiye'de Venezuela, Rusya, Belarus, vb tipte bir rejim kurulabilmesi, sandiktan toptan vazgecilebilmesi cok zor. Bunun yapisal sebepleri oldugu kadar tarihsel ve kulturel sebepleri mevcut. Yapisal sebepler belli:+

Şimdi de TİP’in Gülhane Parkı buluşmasına gelen gençlerden 43’ünü gözaltına almışlar.

I have been an international student, or around international students, for all my adult life. Every single one of these visa revocations is a human tragedy, a dream quashed and a life derailed.

Hepsi serbest kalacak. Çünkü ortada suç yok.

At the beginning of this week, several secondary schools in Duisburg, Germany were sent far-right emails threatening students with immigration background. Many schools were closed on Monday. Apparently the nightmare continues👇🏼

We're tracking the number of international students whose visas have been revoked by the State Department. We've confirmed over 300 so far and there are likely many more. Get in touch if you've got information you'd like to share with us www.insidehighered.com/news/global/...

🔴 Mahir Polat: ➡️ "Yoksul bir ailenin, kentin varoşlarında büyümüş bir ferdiyim. Ne yaptıysak, benimle aynı konumda olan insanların da erişebilmesi için yaptık. Biz Anadolu çocuklarıyız, gariban çocuklarız. Türkiye kendi çocuklarıyla şifa bulacak.”

Özgür Özel’in ana muhalefet partisi başkanı olarak giderek daha da cesaretlenmesi, uzun zamandır üzerine ölü toprağı atılmış gibi siyaset yapan CHP’yi canlandırıp silkelemesi şu sürecin en büyük kazanımlarından. (Ve tabii ki bunu da gençlere borçluyuz.)

When traditional avenues of dissent are denied, communities turn to more artistic and symbolic forms of resistance to express their political grievances. @emilyricejohnson.bsky.social reports with comments from protesters, Işıl Eğrıkavuk and @liselhintz.bsky.social:

İstanbul’da Silivri’de, İzmir’de,Bursa’da her yerde anayasal ve demokratik haklarını kullandıkları için tutuklanan, gözaltına alınan ev hapsi verilen tüm çocuklarımızın yanındayız. Her biri biricik umudumuz, geleceğimiz. #ÇocuklarımızİçinBirİmza change.org/anne-baba-daya…

Sonunda! (Beraat kararını da tez vakitte paylaşabilmek umuduyla)

There is a new German government coalition! First surprise: CDU gets the foreign office - which traditionally goes to the smaller coalition partner. Makes a lot of sense and was speculated but I wouldn’t have bet on it. Also means that SPD (Pistorius…) gets defence. www.spiegel.de/politik/deut...

Yeni Şafak goes full delusion-mode... "A Turkish-Israeli war is now inevitable. It will receive a direct military response. Western power has been shattered, Türkiye will settle on Israel's borders. It has no place on our map! It will kneel before Turkey." www.yenisafak.com/yazarlar/ibr...

Almanya'da Ipsos'un 4-5 Nisan 2025'te duzenledigi ankette asiri sagci AFD, CDU'yu da geride birakarak birinci parti cikmis. Asiri sag global olarak yukselise gecmisken bu ulkede de bize ayrilan surenin sonuna geliyoruz sanki.

In Germany, the far-right AFD overtakes the CDU and becomes the leading party in Ipsos' opinion poll.
