Happy to announce that, yesterday, I joined the @iep-berlin.de Academic Advisory Board. My IEP debut was participation in the Book Slam, a fun format in which you explain a recent publication in 5 sentences and then get 2 unusual questions. @danielhegedus.bsky.social @fundatekin.bsky.social

“Als ik Nederlandse journalisten één advies zou moeten meegeven, dan is het: wees waakzaam. Ik heb in Polen gezien dat het heel snel kan gaan. Als ik daar aan journalisten vroeg wanneer ze in de gaten kregen dat het misging, zeiden ze: pas toen het te laat was." - @jmorijn.bsky.social (Mei 2024)

And to the journalists attending: make no mistake. You are not observing this performance from the outside. Your presence forms part of it. Your presence is living proof that far-right ideologies have become normalised and accepted.
The second Remigration Summit is taking place on Saturday. This isn’t a fringe event. It’s a global gathering of far-right ideologues, activists, influencers & politicians who are given a platform to call for mass deportations.

I wrote an analysis for @verfassungsblog.de with @kimlanelaw.bsky.social about how the EU could unfreeze EU funds for Hungary without melting the rule of law
Hungary's new government needs billions in frozen EU funds – fast. But can they be unfrozen without melting the rule of law? JOHN MORIJN (@jmorijn.bsky.social) and KIM LANE SCHEPPELE (@kimlanelaw.bsky.social) map the legal and political obstacles. verfassungsblog.de/unfreezing-e...

There indeed is so much to fight for, and in some countries (looking at you, US), some old fights have become new fights. One thing (academic) men can do is not participate in manels! It can be uncomfortable at times but it is also still necessary. Here’s my experience: 🧵

I gave a talk about Case C-769/22 (Commission v. Hungary), the most awaited pending case before the @eucourtofjustice.bsky.social For the first time, the Commission invoked Article 2 TEU "separately". But what could that add? You can watch the full recording here: www.linkedin.com/posts/john-m...
