The parallels to the Swiss social democrats in 2023 are evident: 1) Appeals to young (female) voters with a credible progressive agenda and heavy emphasis on housing 2) Strong results in urban centers 3) Rather young co-leadership 4) Targeted campaigning with clear appeals

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...

Why does 25% AfD among young men spark a thousand "what is going on with young men?" posts yet Die Linke 34% among young women generates...nothing at all? Yes, young men voting for the radical right is an important phenomenon. But so is young women going rad left at even higher rates.

Goldman: "My Republican colleagues are so weak and afraid of Donald Trump that they're willing to undermine their own constitutional authority just to please them. You're giving away your own power in fealty to Donald Trump."

Just received this photo from a friend of a warehouse in Kinshasa. These are tuberculosis medications--ALREADY PAID FOR--that aren't being distributed due to the Trump Administration's stop work order. TB treatment is being interrupted in SO many patients around the world. What does that mean? (1/2)

Requiring passports and birth certificates to register to vote is a gendered administrative burden. As detailed in my article on gendered administrative burden, formal identification is often used to coercively control women and transgendered individuals academic.oup.com/jpart/articl...

Un podcast británico entrevistó a Helle Thorning-Schmidt (la ex PM de Dinamarca) y me parece tan raro escucharla tener tan claro que es la inspiración de Brigitte Nyborg en Borgen Como que ella lo SABE

I remember Benghazi, the "emails", and the horror of Bill Clinton meeting Loretta Lynch on a tarmac. The media cared a lot about all of those things. Where are screaming headlines and non stop horror coverage over this?

La verdad si yo fuera Keir Starmer, haría el esfuerzo para que en el próximo presupuesto del Reino Unido duplicaran la plata que gastan en apoyo internacional. Gastaría lo mismo porcentualmente que Suecia y podría cubrir como la mitad de los compromisos de USAID. Sería tremendo golpe de soft poweer

Quite the marmalade-dropper, this: 3 weeks before Germany's election, Angela Merkel has issued a statement criticising her own party for enabling ("with open eyes") a majority with the AfD. Effectively accuses Merz of breaking his pledge not to do so. www.buero-bundeskanzlerin-ad.de/erklaerungen...

Passes 348:344 with votes of CDU, AfD & FDP (BSW abstains). Only 1 CDU MP votes no and 8 abstain (? unclear- the official website appears to be down, but it’s a shockingly small number). Shameful day for the German “centre”-right. The beginning of the end of the last(?) cordon sanitaire in Europe.

“Birth tourism: you’ve got to hand it to the fascists, they have a point” “Lebensraum: how could we cut a deal on this good fiscal policy?” “Pete Hegseth: he may be an alcoholic abusive Nazi, but his ties are on point” “Canada: sovereignty is for losers, eh?” What a couple of weeks for the NYT 🤦‍♂️

The BJP came to power in India in 2014. With every election it has become harder to beat the BJP. It has consolidated money, media & muscle. While its 2024 electoral performance was weaker than 2019, it won despite horrible anti incumbency (something that governments elsewhere have faced).

No matter "how often you think about the Roman Empire", identifying a #RomanSalute is even more awkward, considering there's no ancient source clearly describing it. There's one ambigous depiction of an outstretched arm on Trajan's column, there's one vague passage in Josephus. That's it. 🤷‍♂️
