Great new book by @meibauir.bsky.social! Well worth a read for anybody interested in US foreign policy and their persistent use of no-fly zones. Not to mention, it offers significant advances in the use of neoclassical realist theory

How ICE is becoming a secret police force under the Trump administration The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement meets most criteria that have defined secret police forces in authoritarian regimes. And the worst may be yet to come.

PUBLISHED!

I initially hesitated to write this article because the reality of it is so frightening, but the evidence became impossible to ignore.

So here I argue that ICE is a secret police force in the making, which is not a claim I make lightly.

This bill disenfranchises a whole lot of women, but it disproportionately disenfranchises Republican women. Married women lean Republican. Married women who change their names definitely lean Republican. Seems a little self-defeating.

Long past expecting conservatism--the kind that wants to preserve institutions and keep things on an even keel--to play a serious role, but will never get why conservatives tolerate things like this, or tariff games, or anything that generates uncertainty for markets, alliances, investments, etc.
