Die Sprache ist ja gerne von "diesen jungen Leuten". Ein kurzer 🧵 zum Wahlverhalten nach Altersgruppen und meine Einschätzung zur Veränderung seit 2021. Wieder einmal zeigt sich, dass junge Menschen zwar volatiler wählen als andere Altersgruppen, vor allem aber eine sehr heterogene Gruppe sind!

The two-child limit remains in place, and its impact will continue to grow as the policy affects an increasing number of children as time goes on. We estimate that an additional 63,000 children will become affected by the policy between now and April 2025.

So long, Twitter. A colleague of mine said today that 'resistance is also a choice'. So here we are. Don't care about followers, but miss the time when I appreciated the platform to connect with fellow political activists back in my #EuropeanFederalist days and international researchers.
