I don’t wade into these toxic waters gladly, but this map… everything that’s wrong with how we talk migration today. The emotional message is skewed to create fears: snake-like routes, Germany singled out as a magnet. Who even sees we’re talking about 0,05% of EU’s population?

@mattrowlandhill I think you just pushed me to set aside my prejudices and go read her books! Second time this month :)

@TimothyDSnyder With chronic heartbreak, yes. Never has a cultural genocide been announces so clearly and openly, with such deep faith in one’s power to get away with it.

On December 8, we will take the time to reflect on the relevance of the Refugee Convention 70 years on, with some of the most engaging minds in our field. Come join us, in person or online, for an afternoon of (self)reflection, and maybe a glimmer of hope. https://t.co/OHYw2a8hmU

For 70 years, the UN Refugee Convention has protected people fleeing war and violence.

The Netherlands supports countries that receive the largest number of #refugees. The treaty remains a pillar of a (more) humane world.

Al 70 jaar beschermt het Vluchtelingenverdrag mensen die vluchten voor oorlog en geweld.

Nederland steunt landen die de grootste aantallen vluchtelingen ter wereld opvangen. Het verdrag blijft de basis van een menselijke(re) wereld.

It's been a long time since I enjoyed writing a piece this much. #MarinaAbramovic retrospective in #Belgrade - or a quick essay about #art and #courage to be earnest.

@Clingendaelorg @ErwinVeen @NOS "Zij doen allemaal hun best om werk te vinden en de Nederlandse taal te leren en verwachten dat ze dan niet terug hoeven. Misschien wel als je nog in de bijstand zit." :/ Eigenlijk doet het bijstand hier helemaal niet toe. Asiel krijg je om andere redenen. En zo moet het blijven.

[IDMC @IDMC_Geneva]

More than 20 years of high numbers of new displacement and increasingly protracted situations across the world leave us today with the highest number of people living in displacement ever – 41.3 million. More in IDMC’ s new report #GRID2019: https://t.co/3psd7nr9bM

@ozcanhidir I would be happy to meet with you in person at the time and place of your convenience (thought the sooner the better, as I am hoping to finalise the first draft by May 1), but also to discuss these issues over Skype or telephone.

Thank you in advance,

@ozcanhidir I understand that you have been a member of the Overseas Citizens Committee at the YTB for a while now and I would be very interested in talking to you about the role and the importance of YTB in the new conceptualization of Turkey’s diaspora policies.

@ozcanhidir I am a researcher with Clingendael Institute in the Netherlands, currently working on a policy brief on conflict-sensitive engagement with the Turkish diaspora worldwide.

Good to be living in the times when we are starting to have a serious conversation on the #darkside of #meritocracy-focused culture. Great contribution by @nytdavidbrooksse

The people who lead the best lives rebel against the values of our culture—the assumptions of hyper-individualism and the status markers of the meritocracy. https://t.co/L7JNnNRNB5

Couldn't agree more - though I suspect I am part of the problem, all idiosyncrasies of my Eastern European extraction aside.

@remkorteweg I'm so with them - caugth myslef thinking this morning that even though I have a very personal reason to hope Brexit never happens, as a EU citizen I am right now dreading much more the influence of UK's toxic dysfunctional politics on the European institutions, should they stay
