Exciting to see my co-authored paper with Prof Nitasha Kaul in @risjnl.bsky.social is trending in #InternationalRelations, according to OOIR. The paper explores #India & #China's control of cartographic imaginaries of #Kashmir & #Taiwan.

"make the economy scream".

Elke Schwarz @elkeschwarz.bsky.social · Apr 7

I agree, I think it really is as simple (and perturbing) as this.

Karl (sad trombone noise enthusiast) @brainnotonyet.bsky.social · Apr 4

So I know a lot of people get kind of perturbed when those of us on the academic and research side point out that the Republicans and the techno fascist goal is to purposely crash the market so their friends in venture capital can pick the bones of American government.
But…
Trump just posted this

I agree as I share your pessimism. ISA in Chicago was an eye opener for many.

Might be of interest to [unnamed International Relations scholarly organisation].

Nathan Kalman-Lamb @nkalamb.bsky.social · Apr 4

In a move that *should* be precedent-setting for other scholarly organizations, the North American Society for the Sociology of Sport (NASSS) announces that this year’s conference will be held concurrently at sites in the US and Canada and online due to the dangerous US political climate.

1. We have decided not to host a single-site in-person conference in Seattle this year. Instead, we will have two in-person sites and a robust online participation option. While we are still working out the details, we will have an in-person conference site in Seattle, another in-person conference site in Vancouver, B.C., and significantly more opportunities for online participation than in years past, as well as opportunities for sessions that virtually bring together folx in the two in-person locations. We emphasize that we want your own safety and comfort to be the primary consideration as you decide whether and how to participate in this year’s conference. Wherever you live and whatever your citizenship status and/or subject position, we encourage you to carefully consider which of the three participation options (if any) you decide to take up. It is entirely up to you whether you feel safe or willing to cross a border or to travel at all. To help us with our organizational efforts, we will be sending out a very short survey in the coming days. It is imperative that we hear from as many NASSSers as possible both in terms of organizational efforts and to minimize our financial liabilities.

I was thinking more of 'Casino Protectionism' but that will do as well.

At the heart of every attack on disability benefits is the myth disabled people “get perks”: a free car, loads of cash, a life off work. It misrepresents the reality of disability, whilst exploiting low wages and high living costs to make the public envy people in daily pain.

The real issue is that they may not need a new amendment. The twenty-second amendment prohibits him from being *re-elected as president* for a third time, not from running again as vice-president and from being *appointed* as president if the newly elected president steps down.

Daniel Drezner @dandrezner.bsky.social · Mar 4

He’s already made those noises. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

I don't know about the midterm elections, but my sense is that we will soon discover that the twenty-second amendment is not that big of an obstacle against a third Trump term.

Dan Nexon @dhnexon.bsky.social · Mar 4

At a conference and Europeans are asking me whether he’ll suspend the midterm elections.

Matt @tiredgenerally.bsky.social · Mar 3

what happens if he does a j6th like six months into his presidency? guy is speedrunning the path to widespread unpopularity. i don’t know man, this is uncharted waters. don’t think he’s staying in power, don’t know how we’ll get him out of power
