The H1-B visa thing is, like everything else in the Trump administration, set up to carve up exceptions for friends and punish enemies. It’s the authoritarian thru-line that stitches everything together.

I have a big birthday next week and even though my @bsky.app footprint is small, if anyone wants to give me a gift, donate to causes I love, like drc.ngo @drcngo.bsky.social

Reminds me of this American Indian prophecy: When the last tree is cut, the last fish is caught, and the last river is polluted; when to breathe the air is sickening, you will realize, too late, that wealth is not in bank accounts and that you can’t eat money

Sick and disgusting

I _think_ this portion of the “restoring history” EO is meant to compel restoration of Confederate monuments. Aside from this being mere guidance, though, I see a snag: how does it “perpetuate a false reconstruction of American history” to remove shrines to people who rebelled against us?

In Palermo immersing students in the fight for migrant and refugee rights in Italy and across the EU. Today, we met with the Sicilian Parliament

Hell ya, Denver!

“You are a traitor.” An absurd and insulting thing to say to anyone who posts what Senator Kelly did. And even more insulting since he served as a U.S. Navy captain and a NASA astronaut. Kelly was a combat pilot and flew 39 combat missions during Operation Desert Storm in the Gulf War.

Not only is this crass, it is highly significant. Radosław Sikorski is perhaps the most Atlanticist major politician in Europe. And this is how he is now being publicly treated by US/Musk. They do not want us to be their friends, they do not want us to be their allies.

Criminalizing protest is the hallmark of authoritarian regimes.

USAID is an independent agency under US law. Those laws have not been repealed, they have not been struck down in court. Every day that its evisceration stands is a continuing attack on Constitutional order.

Zelenskyy's character can be judge more directly by how he treats others and whether you think he's protected his country. From what I've seen, he has treated Americans with respect. His attire is to remind people he's at war, not unlike Churchill wearing a siren suit to the White House in 1942.

We accidentally fired the guys who take care of nukes. We also canned the guys who overlook plane safety. And we continue to stop life-saving aid from getting to the most vulnerable people in the world. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/doge-misma...

The most striking result from yesterday’s German election #btw2025 🇩🇪: 🔹 35 years after reunification: The GDR is redrawn on this map. 🔹 The AfD won 45 out of 48 electoral districts in the East. 🔹 In some parts of Saxony, they came close to 50%! Why is this happening? Here’s my take 👇

Libya is not a safe country. Frontex must stop transmitting the location of migrant boats to the Libyan Coast Guard - that's what our most recent case with @refugeesinlibya.bsky.social and @davidyambio.bsky.social aims at. Full interview: www.eldiario.es/desalambre/j...

Even when it comes to immigration enforcement, especially with Trump, following the money is a useful starting point to understand what's going on. #migration #deportation #Trump nandosigona.info/2025/02/13/t...

🚨 The ANES is on the list, because the award description includes the study of 'racial conflict.' The loss of the ANES would be a huge loss for public opinion, and for science.

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

If you've ever used the Polity data, read this from Monty Marshall. tl;dr Polity is coding recent US events as an executive self-coup and an adverse regime change.

I’ve waited to make a post here. I haven’t known what I can contribute given the current news cycle. But I think I have something that offers me some hope: my course on refugee law. My 19 students and I just finished a week meeting with inspirational refugee orgs in Denmark and Sweden

Elon says 90% of US aid never reaches communities. He confuses USAID's 90% reliance on intermediaries -- US companies delivering HIV drugs, WFP delivering food aid -- with waste. Comical if not so dangerous. @rachelbonnifield.bsky.social & I break down where aid goes: www.cgdev.org/blog/no-90-p...

No, that is not what the Supreme Court ruled. The Supreme Court ruled that the president cannot be criminally prosecuted for official acts. That is a terrible decision, but that is NOT the same thing as saying the President can do anything he wants. The Executive Branch must still follow the law.

Horrific. Don't look away.
