CDU on the day after it won the German election: attacking civil society organisations that fight for democracy. To fight the rise of the AfD is to increase democratic education and civic engagement and not to stifle it. Partisan neutrality is important but pro-democracy should not be neutral.

35 years after reunification and still many differences between East and West Germans persist - from tennis courts, childcare, voting, wages, and Olympic medals.

NEW: updated long-run gap in voting between young men and women in Germany: Gender divide continues to widen, but contrary to what is often assumed, young men continue to vote roughly in line with the overall population, while young women have swung sharply left. www.ft.com/content/29fd...

Urban-rural divide in the past four German federal elections (by population density). Polarization is increasing, mainly due to the AfD.

The most striking result from yesterday’s German election #btw2025 🇩🇪: 🔹 35 years after reunification: The GDR is redrawn on this map. 🔹 The AfD won 45 out of 48 electoral districts in the East. 🔹 In some parts of Saxony, they came close to 50%! Why is this happening? Here’s my take 👇

If you sum it up, 49% of young German men voted for a right-leaning party, but only 28% of young women. Conversely, 59% of young women voted for a left-leaning party, but only 38% of young men. (BSW left out.)

I celebrate the 80% of Germans who did not vote for the far right. Do not make 19.6% of German voters into "the" German people (again). "The" German people don't exist! The German population is diverse and divided, but voted overwhelmingly for liberal democratic parties. #BTW25 #GermanElection

Here is what to watch out for in the 6pm exit polls: 1) does the CDU cross 30% & how large is the gap to the AfD? 2) is there a majority of seats for a CDU-SPD coalition? This is the easiest (but by no means easy) coalition to negotiate. 3) are FDP and BSW in or out? 4) how well does die Linke do?

It's never about merit. It's about white (male) privilege. If you want meritocracy, you should be in favour of e.g., gender quotas. Quotas help get rid of mediocre men who've been riding on their privilege. (Look around you... we've all seen those guys.) This paper explains: doi.org/10.1257/aer....

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9
