The Danish Prime Minister & the Leader of the Parliament of Greenland is right now hosting a joint press meeting.

The Greenlandic leader, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, emphasized that they are part of the Danish Kingdom & does not in any way want to be bought by, controlled by or become part of the US.

Just so people understand the timeline:

(1) The president of the United States called Somali-Americans "garbage" and the Vice President says that the US has a "Somali Problem".

(2) The White House directs immigration agencies to Minnesota due to its large Somali community.

hey European hivemind, I need some help...PhD students here, especially foreign ones, are feeling a lot of concern related to evolving immigration restrictions here. Those students are increasingly looking to postdocs in EU. To help advise them better, what are expectations for postdocs?

Unaccountable masked agents terrorizing cities matches popular perceptions of authoritarianism much more than like executive aggrandizement.
This YouGov poll on ICE is really eye-opening. Public opinion has really swung against DHS/ICE and their terror regime.

These agents did not have a judicial warrant and appeared to produce an administrative warrant on-the-fly when confronted. They entered w/o permission. The resident has posted a first-person video of the illegal intrusion.

There were children in this home.

This is un-American and unconstitutional.
Ask yourself. If ICE is going door to door, what’s next?

Armed federal agents took a man away in handcuffs. A woman came out of the house and said the man was her husband. It also appears ICE used an administrative warrant, not a judicial warrant.

That matters….

Historical periods I've been told can be used to understand our current era:

(1) 1850-1860s America
(2) 1899-1914 in Europe
(3) Vichy France

Not looking great!

I see this take around from time to time and totally disagree. ICE just murdered a woman standing up to them. No Kings is among the largest protests in history.

The complacency is coming from elites in media, business, universities, and the Democratic leadership

I'll be presenting a paper showing that higher levels of confidence that one's own vote will be counted as intended correlates with higher levels of validated turnout among Americans as a whole and among partisans. Confidence that other people's votes will be counted properly doesn't affect turnout.

The radical right’s master frame remains ethnic nationalism. Remigration is simply one of its logical consequences. First came stopping (or minimizing) immigration; next is pushing people with migrant backgrounds to leave. Expect further radicalization.
'Remigration' is on its way to become a #farright master frame, but what does it actually mean? In Germany (somewhat unsurprisingly), that's 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 a legal-constitutional question, with implications for the #AfD. Excellent reporting by Correctiv - in German, but worth a click on 'translate'

The EU should be sending legions of our own homegrown bro podcasters to go on American bro podcasts to talk about why invading Greenland is bad.

Today, Switzerland observes a National Day of Mourning in memory of the victims of the tragic fire in Crans-Montana.

At 2pm the whole country is asked to observe a moment of silence, a testament to the shared grief felt by the entire nation with all those affected www.news.admin.ch/en/newnsb/yG...

Back in June, the AEW had a wrestling match in Mexico. Brody King wore an abolish ICE t shirt and "hangman" Adam Page gave a speech in Spanish about the importance of pluralism.

Warms my heart to see statements of moral clarity in one of the goofiest forms of entertainment.

A lot of unclear writing in research stems from the authors themselves not being exactly sure what they are doing.
Free tip for authors who want to speed up publication: make it make sense. An untold source of delay is reviewers struggling to understand what you even mean.

No Other Choice (2025) is a brilliant movie about how wrapping your personal identity up with your profession can brutalize individuals when the job market collapses.
