Seeing police snatch a Turkish PhD student off the street for writing an op-ed was horrifying. And familiar.
With Turkey colleagues @heissenstat.bsky.social + @nicholasdanfort.bsky.social, we wrote about how repression functions by starting with minority groups.

Also newsworthy is that this many people took to the streets despite a week of intense police violence, lawless detentions and arrests.
Today, in Istanbul’s Maltepe district, over 2.2 million citizens, according to organizers—took to the streets, demanding democracy, justice, and freedom in the face of Erdoğan’s increasingly authoritarian rule.
