I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Travel rights (which are reasonably robust, if regularly overlooked) can provide a bulwark against these sorts of anti-travel provisions. I wrote about this in Travel Rights in a Culture War, 101 Tex. L. Rev. O. 21 (2022), texaslawreview.org/travel-right.... But litigants need to assert them!

Imagine a country where hundreds of thousands of legal permanent residents find stripped of their status and forced to reapply for their right to remain. Many no longer meet the criteria, plunged into illegality, subject to deportation. @emile-chabal.bsky.social foreignpolicy.com/2025/11/05/b...

I strongly opposed framing #women 's migration as #CareDrain & loss to children left behind because 1️⃣it relies on sexist #stereotypes 2️⃣devalues #care work 3️⃣prevents us from understanding #skills in #migration But metaphors are stronger than arguments 🏋️‍♀️ www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all: “If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.” Israel just killed him.
