🚨 New symposium on “Abusive Feminism”🚨 ROSALIND DIXON kicks it off by unpacking the concept: how anti-feminist, would-be authoritarians use feminist ideas and language to advance and legitimate their own sexist, authoritarian projects. verfassungsblog.de/abusive-femi...

Commenting for The Parliament Magazine on the disaster that Trump’s decision halting the USAID has created 👇👇👇 www.theparliamentmagazine.eu/news/article...

For @theguardian.com I commented on advice from Poland for the US under Trump www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

No words on the Tuesday’s freeze of trillions of dollars in federal money by Trump. The lack of foreign aid affected most of the NGOs in the region I know and people are losing jobs from one day to another… what a year and it’s just January.

The @eui-eu.bsky.social blast

Amen

Interesting take on what is happening with @washingtonpost.com www.theguardian.com/media/2025/j...

I’m really excited that my book on the history of Russia’s “illegal” spies comes out soon. It’s taken me years of work and covers a century of Soviet/Russian history... Below, a short thread about the book, as well as info on how to pre-order a copy.

Will Musk influence the outcome of elections in Germany?yes. The other problem is that we’re still focusing on writing reports on Russian trolls while it’s not the most pressing issue anymore. The main troll is the X owner and that’s his open political agenda. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Happy New Year to everyone similarly excited 🥳🧚💅🏻🍾💕

Hey Time, guess who between these two is the actual person of the year?

The theatre scene in NY is a wonder. Oh Mary! is highly recommended to anyone around!
