Great new book by @meibauir.bsky.social! Well worth a read for anybody interested in US foreign policy and their persistent use of no-fly zones. Not to mention, it offers significant advances in the use of neoclassical realist theory

I initially hesitated to write this article because the reality of it is so frightening, but the evidence became impossible to ignore.
So here I argue that ICE is a secret police force in the making, which is not a claim I make lightly.

How ICE is becoming a secret police force under the Trump administration

This bill disenfranchises a whole lot of women, but it disproportionately disenfranchises Republican women. Married women lean Republican. Married women who change their names definitely lean Republican. Seems a little self-defeating.

So what I’m hearing here is that if China and the EU agree on something, they get to set the rules.
Stephen Miller: The United States is 36% of global consumption, and we are more than 25% of the world's economy. Just the United States alone. That means we get to set the rules and terms for international trade.
