I teach politics & IR. This was an (anonymous) end-of-term feedback from an undergrad student: "too opinionated" and should have spoken less about Trump and Palestine. I'm taking it as a compliment 😆

💥🇭🇺 Police have given up guarding Budapest’s Liberty Bridge as anti-government protesters shut down traffic on four major bridges, rallying against Viktor Orbán’s new law curbing freedom of assembly and banning the Pride march.

They vow to escalate with a 24-hour shutdown next week.

It was MOOCs 15 years ago. Now, it's AI. Wonder what silver bullet the higher-ed consultants and tech set will offer next that will simultaneously lower standards for students and increase workloads for instructors.

Bolsonaro May Need His Trump Card
Brazil’s former President Jair Bolsonaro still has hopes of running in 2026, and will probably appeal for help from the next occupant of the White House.

One step closer to Bolsonaro in jail for an attempted coup, as the Federal Police released a 900+ page document detailing investigations. Becoming harder and harder for Bolsonaro & close allies to deny their direct involvement. Brazil is doing what the US failed to do.

I wonder if folks who research US or (wealthy) European countries are asked to justify their case study choice as frequently as those who work on Latin American countries... 🤔

(kind of a genuine question)

finally a reasonable take
Liberals and the left do not need the right to be online in the way that the right needs liberals and the left. The nature of reactionary politics demands constant confrontations- literal reactions- to the left. People like Rufo would have a substantially harder time trying to influence opinions on a platform without liberals. "Triggering the libs" sounds like a joke, but it is often essential for segments of the right. This explains the popularity of some X accounts with millions of followers, such as Libs of TikTok, whose purpose is to troll liberals. The more liberals leave X, the less value it offers to the right, both in terms of cultural relevance and in opportunities for trolling.
