Yesterday I joined the protest, with many of my @vuamsterdam.bsky.social colleagues, on the #Malieveld against the outrageous budget cuts in Dutch higher education by the current government. Happy to see such a large crowd of 20.000 people protesting! 🟥 #WOinActie #doehetniet #Stopdebezuinigingen

Thanks @jordantama.bsky.social for giving a book talk on "Bipartisanship and US Foreign Policy: Cooperation in a Polarized Age" (Oxford UP). Fascinating case studies and a highly useful framework for understanding the dynamics of partisan politics.
