Trying to write something about European foreign policy just feels kind of…..pointless I guess?

Like the centre node of knowledge and political capital from the last decades is just full blown autocratic. Hell no I’m not going to some conference in D.C. or LA now.

Like, the entire intellectual infrastructure that this is work is designed to feed into is either co-opted, lost its funding, or progressive and being targeted.

Do people know that all this work doesn’t lead to a State policy planning job in a Democratic administration anymore?
