The 'Danish Ghetto' judgment Analysis of the CJEU's recent ruling on race discrimination law and housing, by Prof Karin de Vries and @sarahganty.bsky.social eulawanalysis.blogspot.com/2026/03/race...

THE SILICON GAZE After reading a really interesting paper from @oii.ox.ac.uk (link below), I asked ChatGPT (version 5.2) to give an ranking of countries by IQ, 'extrapolating' and 'estimating' where data was not available. I then asked it to provide an 'approximate' heat map of the estimates 1/2

My two cents on the CJEU judgment in the Danish housing law case : verfassungsblog.de/denmarks-hou... Thanks @verfassungsblog.de for the invitation!

The CJEU has ruled on Denmark’s “ghetto” housing law. SARAH GANTY (@sarahganty.bsky.social) shows how the judgment grapples with racialised categories, but ultimately entrenches a two-tier system of protection and obscures the racialisation of poverty. verfassungsblog.de/denmarks-hou...

Immigration and asylum are now second most salient issues in the UK. Only Reform benefits from this

Imagine refugee rights being as exciting to the Commission as smuggling prevention. Only one ensures ‘order’, though.

A must read!

Utterly disgusting. There is absolutely no way any Afghan woman should be returned to the Taliban having sought asylum, but particularly someone who has fought for human rights. It is tantamount to a death sentence. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Following his lecture silent on🇪🇺EU's Rule of Law violations, @sarahganty.bsky.social & I offered a copy of our "EU Lawlessness Law" to 🇪🇺Commissioner Michael McGrath: fighting this lawlessness is his direct responsibility: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... @ceudeminst.bsky.social @weareceu.bsky.social

How many UK Supreme Court judges do you think ever acted as lawyers for a claimant in a social security case? ZERO. *Extremely nervous* to announce this rather bolshy ('somewhat contentious' and 'robust in tone') piece in the JSSL. I argue there is a 'professional diversity deficit' in UKSC, AND...

Spot on.

Polish MPs voted yesterday overwhelmingly (386 to 38) in favour of the earlier announced asylum ban. This marks a rupture in the constitutional framework—yet another extra-constitutional state of emergency—and a direct assault on international and EU #asylum law. notesfrompoland.com/2025/02/21/p...

"...standard tactics – and the kind of consultant advice that ...worked for Clinton in the 90s – have a real drawback: they communicate that...things are still pretty normal. Citizens take cues from elites. If elites act normally, why should everyone else be that concerned?" Guardian column:

Very much looking forward to this🤩!

Just came out of seeing Kyoto at Soho Place theatre. Really fantastic. If you don’t think a play about climate negotiations at the UN can have you on the edge of your seat, go see it. Go see it to be reminded we have to push & break ourselves to fix our relationships to each other & the planet.

FOR THE THIRD TIME Meloni has shipped a handful of asylum seekers back & forth across the Adriatic. This is costing Italian taxpayers hundreds of millions. It is a farcical spectacle of cruelty that only serves to highlight the lack of control you get from the far right

Even if we feasibly could deport these men, women & children (& it would be extraordinarily brutal & expensive to try) the visa system would churn out more to replace them. The problem is a system is built on precarious, temporary & expensive visas.

"EU Lawlessness Law" has arrived in hard copy from Columbia Law: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... @sarahganty.bsky.social & I detail how🇪🇺EU law has turned into a legal tool to install absolute impunity for mass violations of national and ECHR law. @peterspiro.bsky.social @atossaaraxia.bsky.social
