Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

We are at a moment in time when universities should really decide if they want to be places of intellectual leadership or circus arenas for far-right talking points and faux debates.

Immer, wenn du denkst, ekliger kann es eigentlich nicht werden, kommt neuerdings ein angeblich "Konservativer" daher und legt die Latte des Anstands noch ein Stück tiefer. Himmel, wie widerlich.

Dear universities,

I am begging you to stop requiring letters of recommendation for master's programmes. You and I both know you don't read them, so stop asking for them.

Instead, have applicants list a name and get in touch if it's a borderline case.

Signed,
Everyone.

A very important message to legal academics in Germany & maybe, in particular, to those who are involved in the organization (IG conveners included) of @esil-sedi.bsky.social annual conference at FU Berlin (ofc, the issue goes much beyond just this conference). verfassungsblog.de/where-is-our...

ICJ President Sebutinde has been credibly accused of plagiarism, and the source is stunning: Douglas Feith was US Under Secretary of Defense and key architect of the illegal 2003 Iraq War. His career is defined by opposition to international law & it is unbefitting that any ICJ judge would cite him

Quote from the article: These political countercurrents should not be underestimated in their potential to undermine the continued existence of the ICC.

Ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass mir eines Tages der Jürgen Kaube von der @faznet.bsky.social aus der Seele sprechen würde.

Der ganze Text ist leider hinter der Paywall, obwohl er es verdient hätte, von allen gelesen zu werden... www.faz.net/aktuell/feui...

Michel Friedman im hessischen Landtag: "AfD ist eine Partei des Hasses" Der Frankfurter Publizist Michel Friedman hat die AfD bei einer Rede im Wiesbadener Landtag scharf angegriffen. Hier sehen Sie seinen Auftritt in voller Länge.

Im Gegensatz zur AfD, die nur bedröppelt dreinschaut, schaut Friedman ihnen direkt ins Gesicht. Er schaut nicht auf den Boden und er hat keine Angst ihnen das zu sagen, was ihnen die deutsche Politik offenbar nicht sagen will.

Die 24 Minuten für die Rede sollte sich heute jede:r nehmen.
