📍Why a non-profit organization? 📍 EPSA has played a vital role in building a strong network for European political scientists. We all benefitted, but its structure, controlled by a for-profit company, distributed profits as dividends, rather to its members. That’s changing. Now.👇 /2

A reminder that despite all differences, we should not forget or forego basic levels of human decency. Once we start denying others basic human dignity, it all goes downhill very fast…

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

Worth reading (again) - not that we need any more reminders right now that presumed constants can’t change…

Absolutely brilliant read!!! Impossible to pick my favorite quote, here just one: ‘We love to achieve greatness through hard work and passion, but many of the pinnacles of human emotion emerge unexpectedly, often within the slack that we allow for ourselves to truly live.’ Go read the whole thing!
