As of this moment, the entire federal government is in violation of the Civil Rights Act and the 14th Amendment —not b/c the government has ended DEIA programs, but b/c the government is discriminating against employees and new hires based on the color of their skin. My latest in @thenation.com

Trump’s Attacks On DEI Are a Green Light for the Government to Discriminate

Under the guise of eliminating racial discrimination against white men, the Trump administration is launching a frontal assault on the country’s civil rights infrastructure.

Egypt’s secret police, Homeland Security, continued throughout the year targeting all forms and shades of dissent, both online and offline, keeping citizens incarcerated in an endless labyrinth of fabricated cases, dubbed by rights lawyers as a process of “rotation”. @middleeasteye-rss.bsky.social

Egypt under Sisi: Will repression and stagnation continue in 2025?

As the state rounds up dissidents and dodges economic reforms, there is little hope for a course correction in the year ahead

Terrific keynote address by professor Thomas Diez on why “normative power Europe” failed in the Turkish case (& beyond) at the opening of the 9th CEST Symposium in Copenhagen yesterday. Props to my co-convener @joakimparslow.bsky.social & symposium coordinator Reuben Silverman for making it happen.

What made normative power Europe fail in TR-EU relations? In a keynote at #CEST today, I argued one overlooked aspect was the EU actors' mishandling of hegemonic strategies. Thanks @paultlevin.bsky.social @joakimparslow.bsky.social for the invitation (and the photo) @iratut.bsky.social
