Italy’s Border Immigration Paradox

📣 The chapter Matt Lister and I co-authored on refugee family reunion is now out in the Handbook of Migration Ethics. Our paper surveys several important questions & issues worthy of further consideration in this under-explored topic. link.springer.com/chapter/10.1...

Donald Trump is offering nine universities funding if they sign a compact that’s a “complete adoption of the MAGA high-education agenda,” Kevin Carey writes. The document is “shot through with the tensions that mark Trumpism in its latest form”:

All topics welcome! Each SI will bring together up to 15 articles, with an introduction that frames key themes, debates, and contributions to migration studies. We particularly encourage initiatives led by or including scholars from the Global South, Global East, and non-anglophone regions.

Our call for Special Issues is now live! We welcome collections that advance theoretical debates, offer comparative insight, and push methodological boundaries. Deadline: 15 December 2025. Questions: get in touch with @mkoinova.bsky.social. Details: academic.oup.com/migration/pa...

It's easy to see this speech as just weirdly performative, but there's a lot more—and a lot worse—going on here. The meeting & speeches are part of a larger project aimed at promoting the military leadership’s partisan alignment with the administration. How? 1/

None of this to say that most mil ppl in the room agree with the tactics or ideology on display. But it does shape their incentive structure and tell them what is expected and required of them going forward if they are to keep their jobs and protect those under their command. 11/end

The ultimate aim here is that people will no longer expect the military to serve the public at large, but that its goal and purpose is to advance the interest of one faction or party in politics. 10/

It really does not get more explicit than Trump telling top active-duty military generals that they will need to participate in occupations of large cities run by his political opponents as part of his "war from within"

Trump to generals: "America is under invasion from within. We're under invasion from within. No different than a foreign enemy, but more difficult in any ways because they don't wear uniforms. At least when they're wearing a uniform you can take them out."

The President of the United States just openly declared war on four major American cities.

“The oath says enemies foreign and domestic… well, we also have domestic.” Trump tells the generals he plans to use the military against Americans

Trump: "The ones that are run by radical left Democrats -- what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. They're very unsafe places & we're gonna straighten them out one by one. This is gonna be a major part for some people in this room. That's a war too. It's war from within"

Tämä ei ole hyvän mielen postaus, mutta ehkä syksyn tärkein postaukseni. Suosittelen kaikille tutkijoille ja tutkimusryhmille: käsitelkää törkyriskejä ja suunnitelkaa toimenpiteitä etukäteen yhdessä. Lähiaikoina on tiettävästi odotettavissa törkyä tiedeyhteisöä kohtaan. Ketjusta muutama pikavinkki.

This is disastrous, socially, economically. Think of the impact on business transactions, education (particularly women’s online studies), remittances… (The Taliban has shut off fibre optic cables www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...)

Russian, Serbian, Hungarian, Turkish, Georgian governments have poisoned public opinion toward NGOs using terms like “foreign agent”and “terrorists.” The speed at which this is happening in the US is astonishing. Once the perception is in the water supply I don’t know how it’s changed.

Read this. Seriously, read it. The Trump regime is declaring open season on its critics - NGOs, philanthropists, activists. They will be harassed, arrested, jailed. The silencing effect on others who might speak out will be huge. This is authoritarianism. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
