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)
