Quote from the piece by Rosalind Dixon: “[I]t is part of a project of superficial or selective implementation or rights, or else, the co-optation of female leaders into the anti-feminist, anti-democratic project.”

🚨 New symposium on “Abusive Feminism”🚨

ROSALIND DIXON kicks it off by unpacking the concept:

how anti-feminist, would-be authoritarians use feminist ideas and language to advance and legitimate their own sexist, authoritarian projects.

Quote from our published article by author PAULINA MILEWSKA: “Narwocki may not serve as a mere extension of PiS leadership, indicating a potential shift in the dynamic between the presidency and the party.”

Quote from our published article by author PAULINA MILEWSKA: “Narwocki may not serve as a mere extension of PiS leadership, indicating a potential shift in the dynamic between the presidency and the party.”

Poland has elected a new president: Karol Nawrocki, the PiS candidate, who now holds a strong mandate.

What will his election mean for Europe?

PAULINA MILEWSKA (@pamilewska.bsky.social) argues: more than you might think.

Now at @eui-law.bsky.social, she explores how powerful actors weaponise the legal system against journalists in Poland & Hungary, and how the EU can protect free expression.

No words on the Tuesday’s freeze of trillions of dollars in federal money by Trump. The lack of foreign aid affected most of the NGOs in the region I know and people are losing jobs from one day to another… what a year and it’s just January.
