Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.   Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us.

Why I don't expect liberal democracy to go away any time soon: My article on the resilience of liberal democracy, published in @jeppjournal.bsky.social. Perfectly timed to the day after Orbáns defeat and a small spike in "democracy-optimism". There are, I argue, good reasons for such optimism.

Interested in legal mobilization & strategic litigation? Check out my new open access chapter w/ @silje-hermansen.bsky.social! We ask: who litigates EU law? Who wins @ @eucourtofjustice.bsky.social? W/ what downstream impact? New dat/comparisons to litigation in the US included! tinyurl.com/bdznr98v

Beyond a comprehensive survey of what we know/still don't know about EU law litigation, we have three overarching findings that complement/contextualize our 2025 @bjpols.bsky.social article w/ @louisabo.bsky.social on why individual "have nots" come out ahead at the CJEU (see: cup.org/4oWD6ZT)

The West Bank is being slo-mo ethnically cleansed, and it is happening on our watch. www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...

Normalt før en krig forventer vi at eliten målrettet forsøker å bygge støtte i befolkningen og internasjonalt, ved å legitimere hvorfor det er nødvendig. Se Bush og Iraks masseødeleggelsesvåpen, eller Putin og ideen om at Ukraina aldri har eksistert. Trump får begge til å virke som poeter..

Den eneste personen som per nå sitter i fengsel for Epstein-sakene er fortsatt mektig nok til å hestehandle åpent med USAs president om en benådning, mot at hun vitner i hans favør. Presidenten har ikke utelukket det.

The male genius myth is harmful to everyone. As a Nordic female academic, I was shocked by the culture when I was a visiting scholar at Harvard. It is so much better to be a female professor in the Nordics!

Norway is good at getting medals at the winter olympics and at befriending Epstein …

Sharing my latest working paper where I investigate the effect of being appointed under a gender quota on judicial behaviour. Are female judges appointed under a quota in more precarious positions, and as a result are they more loyal towards their appointing authority? Find out: tinyurl.com/548n33kn

“Is the @eucourtofjustice.bsky.social a social court protecting the ‘have nots’ or an economic court beholden to the ‘haves’?” @silje-hermansen.bsky.social, @louisabo.bsky.social & I have an answer on @verfassungsblog.de. This holiday season, our analysis give us reason to be biased for hope:

Is the ECJ a plaything of the powerful — or a protector of the weak? New litigation data suggests a clear answer. TOMMASO PAVONE, SILJE SYNNØVE LYDER HERMANSEN & LOUISA BOULAZIZ show how the Court levels the odds for individual rights claimants. verfassungsblog.de/is-the-europ...

The rich are responsible for an outsized share of carbon emissions — the top 10% account for 48%. And the gap is growing. Since 1990, the richest 1% have increased their share of emissions by 13%, while the poorest 50% have seen theirs fall by 3%.
