I don't think people understand the extent to which this has been a decade plus long billionaire funded campaign (obviously Thiel is involved). We've tried to ring the alarm about these eugenicists but it is too easy for them to get parroted by the mainstream media. bylinetimes.com/2026/08/18/t...

Donald Trump steht schlechter da denn je. Nun klammert er sich an einen skurrilen Antikommunismus. Wer sich links von der Regierung organisiert, so die Drohung, landet auf Listen, wenn nicht im Knast. Ich habe für @zeit.de über die neue Red Scare geschrieben:

Antikommunismus in den USA: Wenn nix mehr geht, geht rote Angst

Donald Trump steht schlechter da denn je. Nun klammert er sich an einen skurrilen Antikommunismus. Es ist eine autoritäre Verschmelzung von Fantasie und Realität.

‘It isn’t enough simply to condemn attacks after they occur. A response centred solely on policing is treating the symptoms while ignoring the causes, and may even contribute to further alienation.’ Luqman Saeed in Belfast, from the blog. www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2026/ju...

Die "Welt" setzt jetzt "rechtsradikale Gewalt" in Anführungszeichen; die zahllosen Chefreporter dort werden sicher bald recherchieren warum

It’s a wrap! 💫 We just concluded two packed days of inspiring talks, discussions and a roundtable at our @iast.fr migration workshop. What a fantastic group, I learned so much. À bientôt! shorturl.at/fxfqu

White liberals' response to George Floyd's murder was largely to increase symbolic support. White liberals' exhibited little change in substantive/material policy commitments.

Glad to see this out at @epsrjournal.bsky.social! Using ESS data, Raquel Rego and I find that an anti-immigration stance is the strongest predictor of far-right sympathies among police and military personnel—similar to the general population. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Very happy to share that our paper "Political socialization and immigrants' support for progressive politics: the case of green parties" with @antvalentim.bsky.social is now published in @psrm.bsky.social! Link to paper: doi.org/10.1017/psrm... Short summary in 🧵below: (1/5)

📢 New in IMR. We often ask whether #refugees “integrate.” But what happens when the host society becomes hostile? I develop the concept of social marginalization and show that refugees in more #violent German counties report stronger feelings of exclusion and discrimination. doi.org/10.1177/0197...

New working paper! I examine whether exposure to local unemployment during adolescence shapes immigration attitudes in adulthood, focusing on the long-term imprint of early economic insecurity doi.org/10.31235/osf...

🚨 New WP w/ @leonardocarella.bsky.social on OSF doi.org/10.31235/osf... We usually think that social identities precede preferences We show the reverse is also true: people update their social identities to match their immigration preferences Focus: class identity in 🇬🇧 + Christian identity in 🇮🇹

Why does mainstream accommodation of far-right and Eurosceptic parties often electorally backfire? In my 3rd dissertation paper, just published in @wepsocial.bsky.social, I argue that voters specifically punish internally divided parties for accommodation: doi.org/10.1080/0140... 1/13 🧵
