shows the path when it comes to freedom of speech. Read this pitch perfect letter from President Paul Alivisatos. Campuses do not need to be such a mess.
(No, removing posters is not protected speech; neither is threatening or intimidating others.)

Fascinating.
Documenting an interesting new fact: Policies persist for very long after their usefulness or popularity expires.
And explaining it: they are no longer salient with voters.
Good luck in the job market!

This, from a green minister, is astonishing. So full of emotion, so full of reason. i wish American so called "progressives" would watch this powerful speech and learn to stand up to antisemitism.

Henry Farrel and Abe Newman are presenting their book on geoeconomics: "Underground Empire" at LSE. My notes from their presentation:
- 1990s view was that geopolitics was irrelevant; globalization would result in harmonious competition and cooperation.
- But global networks that were supposed to hold the world together have been means used by powerful governments to achieve their geopolitical objectives.
- Key moment: after September 11, 2001, the US realized how to use the networks of which it is the center (Internet/ communications/NSA as revelead by Snowden and Swift/payments) to choke terrorism.
- From then on, the US had learned about its superpowers and started throwing its weight around, with unintended consequences.
- Policy makers need a strategic understanding of benefits and drabacks of weaponized interdependence. Right now governments do not have the expertise to think long term of potential escalation. Authors refer here to "The Economic Weapon", by Nicholas Mulder (2022), on how economic warfare worsened the catastrophic escalation of tensions in the 1930s.

The Biden administration cannot abandon our Ukrainian allies now. This would be a geopolitical and humanitarian catastrophe. The President (and the Senete) must refuse the blackmail of the extremist Congress and insist on maintaining aid to Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan.

La ciclogénesis de Sánchez:
- Pasar una ley de amnistía que es ilegal.
- Comprar unos años de poder y esperar a que los jueces la declaren ilegal.
- Cuando los jueces la declaren ilegal, reactivación, en mucho peor, del procès, nuevo referéndum, fin de la Constitución de 1978.

RT by @lugaricano: Princeton undergrad says the quiet part out loud: we are not here to learn; we are focused on extracurriculars and activism; and we don’t want to spend time studying.
Why go to *Princeton* then?!
“Further, classes are known for assigning 200 or more pages of reading each week that frustrated students can barely finish, and I frequently hear students complain about extremely time-intensive problem sets that are unrelated to both lecture material or final examinations, causing me to wonder how these problem sets actually enrich students’ minds.
The implications of such rigor extend past students’ academic pursuits and into their extracurricular life. Often, we find that rigor either makes students less engaged in extracurriculars or, when they are actively involved, they must choose having strong extracurricular involvement over fulfilling academic involvement. On the one hand, Princeton students are often described by campus activists to be far less engaged with political protests than students at peer institutions, demonstrated — for example — by Princeton’s lackluster Divest protests compared to Yale, Harvard, or Penn."

Israel cannot ask for the support of the world in its war against Hamas while condoning, or actively engaging, in ethnic cleansing in the West Bank.

El día de la votación del levantamiento de la inmunidad dí las gracias a los diputados socialistas por votar con la mayoría que "nadie está por encima de la ley" frente a la extrema derecha y la extrema izquierda.
Pobre España.

Russia is exporting near record amounts of oil this month. It can to do that - even as Greek oil tankers pull back (blue) - because Greek shipping oligarchs sell their old ships to the shadow fleet (grey). The EU should have banned this a long time ago. It needs to do that now...

Sesame Street for Professor Butler:
- Progressive: democratic, pro-civil rights, pro-gender equality, secular law, non-violence
- Hamas: totalitarian, primacy of men over women, homosexuality is a crime, Sharia law, terror.
Yep. Same thing.

We are seeing here a colonial war, an imperialist aggression: Ukraine does not threaten Russia's existence, if Russia stopped there would be no risk of Ukraine attacking Russia.
But those postcolonialists will never go out on the street or write faculty letters about this one.
