With the official prognosis giving one additional seat to PVV and one to FvD compared to the ext poll, the narrative should really not be that the Netherlands/Jetten has beaten the radical right. The far right bloc remains remarkably stable.

🚨🚨🚨Announcing a special issue on “Political Violence in Democracies” published by @jpeaceresearch.bsky.social and edited by @andrearuggeri.bsky.social, U Daxecker, and me. In this very long 🧵, I will introduce the special issue with its 14 articles. doi.org/10.1177/0022...

Political violence in democracies: An Introduction - Andrea Ruggeri, Ursula Daxecker, Neeraj Prasad, 2025

It is well established that democracies experience less political violence than autocracies. Paradoxically, however, this widely accepted fact has led scholars ...

Als je naar de huidige peilingen kijkt (zie de laatste peilingwijzer van @tomlouwerse.nl) ziet het er naar uit dat de formatie lastig zal worden. Nu zijn peilingen geen voorspellingen maar de trends (verdwijnen NSC, daling VVD, groei CDA,) maken het een lastig landschap.

If you’re curious the assassination of the IRGC commanders creates a rally around the flag. I suggest reading my recent coauthored article. #IRGC is not a liked in #Iran due to its participation in repression of oppositions. Some of Iranians actually celebrating it. academic.oup.com/fpa/article/...

Consider two photos: one of an immigrant mother being separated from her child and another of a burning car. Which leads the news? Which focuses attention on the harms of mass deportations? A challenge of violent protest tactics is that they often shift attention away from the injustices they decry.

Those concerned about violence might want to start with violence against immigrants, by ICE here, by illegal deportations to gulags and third countries, the violence against so many federal departments, against the law, the climate, the public lands, waters, civil rights, reproductive rights...

De trend van de PVV is in de recentste Peilingwijzer eerder omhoog dan omlaag, en van de VVD andersom, maar: beide binnen de foutmarge. Gevolg is wel dat de PVV nu duidelijk iets groter is dan de VVD (en GL-PvdA), want die verschillen vielen eerder binnen de foutmarge, en nu niet meer.

Dutch coalition crisis: PVV ministers exit government. Wilders had asked for additional far-reaching measures on migration, breaking open the coalition agreement. Other parties were not prepared to do this.

Seems plausible that future will involve post-college Advanced Placement-style proctored, subject-specific exams. Some research suggests national exams can help classroom dynamics because they put teacher and students on same team versus exam. Only works, though, to assess standardized knowledge.

“Massive numbers of students are going to emerge from university with degrees, and into the workforce, who are essentially illiterate…Both in the literal sense and in the sense of being historically illiterate and having no knowledge of their own culture, much less anyone else’s.”

Meta’s user-hostile approach to links worked for Instagram but porting it to Threads was a mistake. Sharing is core to being human and, for text-first social networks, sharing links is essential. Writers, media, news junkies, etc don’t want to live in Meta’s or X’s or anyone’s “walled garden.”

Total honesty and far-right lies

The confidence with which analysts have settled on the causes of Geert Wilders’ victory is misplaced. More humility and introspection are needed
