Great discussions yesterday at #EMNAustria2025 with @austria.iom.int A lot of food for thoughts on the future of migration governance but also of international cooperation more broadly.

Sometimes you leave a conference with just a few notes, sometimes with many ideas, and sometimes with empty hands. But sometimes, you walk away with both ideas and emotions. Thank you, escapes.unimi.it/archivio-con..., for this beautiful experience, and ActionAid Italia, for inviting me.

Protesting over Gaza’s starvation feels like screaming into a void – but we mustn’t stop | Nesrine Malik
Political platitudes and a few trucks of aid won’t save the children dying now. But they show leaders can’t ignore public opinion for ever, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

If at this point you’re still saying that this is remotely related to antisemitism or viewpoint diversity, you are part of the problem.

We should all remember this whenever CEOs are treated as sages on anything except their own industry, and sometimes only their own company.

If you’re a professor in a classroom today & you don’t mention this, I believe you’re doing your students a profound disservice. This is targeted 1st at international students, but it’s deliberately broad enough to lay groundwork for a scene Trump & Hegseth have fantasized: troops on campus.
A truth from Trump that reads “All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS! Thank you for your attention to this matter”
