Another video showing the size of today's #United4Gaza protest in #Berlin. Demonstrations of this site have been a regular sight in UK, Italy or the US. In Germany, they have been rare. Quite substantial mobilization today, especially given the heavy-handed policing over the past months

After years of research, I’m thrilled to share my article on biometric voting in Africa. I focus on the companies who sell the tech. They have become key actors for both election management and citizen identification. Yet we know little about them. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Man kann das nicht oft genug wiederholen: Es sind nicht die Arbeiter und nicht die Arbeitslosen, die AfD wählen, es ist die schlecht gelaunte Mittelschicht, deren Mitglieder glauben, die Grünen würden ihnen den zweiten SUV verteuern. archive.today/jlPsP

Die AfD legt in den Umfragen nicht zu, weil Merz jetzt die Schuldenbremse reformiert oder „zu linke Politik“ macht. Sondern weil er einen Wahlkampf geführt hat, in dem er zum einen Dinge versprochen hat, die eigentlich nur die AfD einlösen kann. Eigenes Scheitern vorprogrammiert. (1/2)
