Great discussion on how passport control and borders are the last big vestige of the aristocracy and colonialist project - seen so obviously with who can move around the world freely and who is deemed suspicious merely by virtue of birth and blood. Fuck borders and passports.

We have been advocating for a better use of Article 2 TEU all along and yesterday's Commission v. Hungary is most welcome. "EU values ARE law, after all"!! Orbán's regime helped move EU law in the right direction. academic.oup.com/yel/article/... @grabowskamoroz.bsky.social @kimlanelaw.bsky.social

New paper to appear in 🇺🇸💥Brown Journal of World Affiars💥🇺🇸 papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... Aristocratic justice is no justice at all❗️ @mitpress.bsky.social @stevepeers.bsky.social @globalcit.bsky.social @profjacob.bsky.social @mpc-eui.bsky.social

🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈⚖️🇭🇺 A legal earthquake - CJEU finds Hungary to have violated EU law on multiple counts with its anti-LGBT+ legislation (as expected) but also for the first time in history, in an EU law-reshaping precedent, finds Hungary to violate Art 2 TEU in a self-standing manner.

"We all say we have certain values, but then there is an asterisk: It doesn’t apply to the majority of humans, certainly not those who do not have the right color of passport, which our society has chosen." A timely Q&A with @profkochenov.bsky.social:

Citizenship can feel invisible — until you realize how much it determines. @profkochenov.bsky.social argues that our passports are part of a “blood aristocracy” that limits opportunity, mobility, and rights around the world.

European judicial and professional networks keep Poland's captured "courts" as members. LAURENT PECH (@profpech.bsky.social) and OLIVER MADER argue this normalises lawlessness – and that the European Commission should act. verfassungsblog.de/normalising-...
