Calling on engaged civil society to meet this moment defending our democracy… each in our own way, reach out to neighbors, find one thing you can do this week— who can make a poster and put it in your window, facing the street, sharing your support for democracy? What will your poster say?

Technically, USIP is not part of the White House chain of command, and DOGE should have no authority to tell them to do anything or demand entry. The statute spells out processes for the president to remove members of the board of directors, but doesn't give the WH any direct control over operations

I was excited about the prospects of an IAF grant to support a collaboration with community-based coffee cooperatives in Colombia. We’ll keep looking for funds, but this was a disappointing setback. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It is a sad day for Columbia and us all when a respected scholar is pushed to "retire" because of attacks from within and outside the university. What does academic freedom mean under these conditions? Genuinely asking here, bc these kinds of attacks are not going to end with Katherine Franke

The ousting of a brutal dictator gives hope, but I worry for Syria. History teaches that revolutions by force do not lead to democratic outcomes. Russia, China, Mexico, Cuba, Bolivia, Nicaragua...all popular revolutions that culminated in authoritarianism. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

What if the majority of people denied asylum in the United States are: a) Telling the truth, b) In real danger of persecution, and yet c) Still denied asylum on legal technicalities? That's the bombshell finding of a landmark new study. bclawreview.bc.edu/articles/317...

There were resistance movements against Pinochet’s regime, against the Nazis, and against the Apartheid regime in South Africa. In the face of annihilationist regimes resistance succeeded. They succeeded because people found myriad ways to work together, and didn’t give in to hopelessness.

The government of El Salvador used to track the number of disappearances in the country, which showed them rising proportionally to the drop in homicides. Then they stopped counting, and closed the disappearances office. Its old Twitter link is now vacant: x.com/desaparecidoFGR

Authoritarian politicians may feel empowered by Trump's win. Other leaders should step up and defend human rights. Brazil can play a key role as a Global South democracy and host to G20, BRICS & COP. But it needs a consistent foreign policy. My piece: www.hrw.org/news/2024/11...

After Trump Win, Brazil Needs to Step Up Rights Diplomacy

While the United States has often fallen short of its stated commitment to defend democracy and human rights globally, under President-elect Donald Trump it seems poised to hit a new low.

I wrote about what’s different than in 2016/17 - about Trump, the radical Right, the Republican Party, the courts (especially the Court), civil society, political culture… “Malevolence tempered by incompetence” was a prominent take on Trump I. Don’t think there will be much tempering this time.
