🎉Yesterday @ctsworkinggroup.bsky.social held their annual conference!

👏Many thanks to the amazing convenors; @amnakaleem.bsky.social , Alice Finden and @rmkhan.bsky.social for all of their hard work!

⭐️The #virtual conference was extremely successful in its critical engagement of terrorism studies.

Just in case you are not yet bored of articles by me coming out this summer, here is a new one out today on ‘Theorising Historiographical Islamophobia’ which has basically been my intellectual project of the last half decade! 🤓

It’s open access here: www.scienceopen.com/document_fil...

Are you from a high income country? Do you live abroad? Ever thought about taking up a new citizenship?

Then, check out my new paper with Floris Peters (Utrecht)

Trying out Bluesky again. Who’s around?

I wrote about my own complicated, expensive immigration visa application for Vox in 2019, and I still hear from people about how it is one of the very few in-depth articles about the immigration process not written by a law firm: www.vox.com/the-goods/20...

The War on Terror, esp under Bush & Obama, was an effort at creating ungoverned spaces where killing specific kinds of proposed subhumans (eg Arabs) didn’t trigger rule of law or human rights concerns. MAGA is simply expanding these spaces stateside to a new proposed subhuman: “the brown immigrant”

I really can’t describe how much generous you are my supporters, you are the most generous people in the world, we are the most close we are 99% 🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂

it's been years upon years of labored "campus culture" op-eds from salaried writers hectoring students about free speech, and now the state is kidnapping students for their speech in broad daylight

"I have a colleague...his fingers were crushed... They showed him a picture of his wife & said 'we're going to gang rape her in front of you if you don't admit you're Hamas.'"

Dr Mark Perlmutter, in Gaza, on what Israel is doing to Palestinian doctors.

Consider this. 6 people in plainclothes approach you, and begin to cover their faces. At least one appears armed. As they grab your phone and backpack, they do not prove who they are. They say they're going to take you, but they're not saying why.

What would you call that?

Grateful to Cambridge University for putting together such an abysmal legal case full of so many omissions that the Judge quite properly and firmly dismissed their application for a long term injunction on Israel-Palestine protests www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

One of the biggest achievements of the attack on “wokeness” (a piece of purely far-right framing) was that it made a lot of people have contempt for the demographics who were giving the earliest warnings of what Musk was up to. It’s hard to listen to those who you don’t consider to be fully human.

The weaponisation of free speech by reactionaries has been incredibly successful and core to the mainstreaming of their ideas

It's shocking so many fell for the idea that power doesn't matter when it comes to it

It should be obvious that free speech without equal access to it is undemocratic

The whole citizenship deprivation process seems increasingly chaotic and driven by political expediency and grandstanding without regard to basic considerations of fairness and justice. Good piece by @sonial77.bsky.social
