Radical right parties in Europe have not moderated. Their positions and rhetoric have entered the mainstream. They have become normalized and legitimized. Unless we understand this, we have little chance of countering their success.

According to this Supreme Court: ❌ Using race conscious admissions in college to give minorities a fair shot ✅ Using race to profile people on the street to detain for immigration sweeps ✅ Using race to disenfranchise minorities in elecciones The only consistency is white supremacy.

U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin is making one last effort to push a bill ensuring a legal pathway to citizenship for child immigrants through Congress before his upcoming retirement.

Astronomers have fully tallied where the universe’s normal matter actually is, and most of it isn’t in galaxies. It’s spread through the intergalactic “cosmic web,” solving a long-standing mystery 💫 buff.ly/0ZqV6rP #space

This is so obvious to me when I see Yoli

What happens when a minority decides for the majority? On Sunday, Swiss citizens head to the polls again. But Switzerland remains one of the most exclusionary democracies in the OECD. In highly cosmopolitan places like Basel-Stadt, only 50.5% of all residents were entitled to vote (as of 2024)

People are losing faith in democracy’s ability to deliver social progress. But are democracies better than autocracies at promoting economic growth, alleviating poverty, and creating healthier, more educated, and more peaceful societies? On all counts, the answer is yes.

Ich hab den Text so verstanden, dass diese gehobene Öko-Mittelklasse sich zu Barbies optimiert. Ideen, Gesprächsthemen bleiben auf sich selbst und auf Vergleiche zu Peers beschränkt. Auch dachte ich, dass sie vielleicht alle Cyborgs sind, die aus dem Internet die langweilig präzise Infos holen #tddl

Hace unas semanas mis colegas Élodie Brun y Juan Olmeda me invitaron a participar en su podcast "Miradas sobre América Latina" p/hablar sobre políticas migratorias en la región: open.spotify.com/episode/1kez...

En México hay 125.287 personas desaparecidas. Pasan los años y los Gobiernos, y la lacra, en vez de resolverse, se agudiza. Detrás de las cifras, unánime, el reclamo intacto de las familias: ¿dónde están?

It’s 8:30pm in El Salvador. 238 men from Venezuela are beginning their fourth night in the terror prison where the Trump administration put them, in defiance of a judge’s order, without telling us who they are or whether they did anything more than run afoul of an ICE agent’s prejudiced hunch.

I am thrilled that this is finally out with CP! We compare the immigration policies across diverse states (and along immigration stages) to observe the consequences of states' selection by "skills" on immigrant trajectories. It is time to question this criterion both for good science & sound policy.

Die Migration ist auf einem Tiefstand und man könnte sich endlich um Integration bemühen. Wenn schon nicht aus Menschlichkeit, dann aus aus demographischen Selbstzweck. Man kann aber auch die faktisch inexistente Migrationskrise hochjazzen, um im blinden Wutopa-Furor Werte und Demokratie abzufackeln

Bienvenida la cuenta del @migdepcolmex.bsky.social a BlueSky! Síganla si tienen interés en la investigación de punta sobre todos los temas de migración que atañen al México de hoy. Es un espacio académico muy interdisciplinario y extraordinariamente dinámico.
