Their messaging is so fucking incoherent. Maduro was an illegitimate leader who lost in 2024, which is why we're replacing him with his VP instead of the person who won in 2024. We did this to stop fentanyl, which is why he's indicted for cocaine. We're also occupying Venezuela via Zoom call.

Scholars have long paid attention to disproportionality between parties’ votes and seats emerging from the electoral system. In @sespjournal.bsky.social, Gianni Del Panta, @mattiaguidi.bsky.social, and I show that disproportionality can also be a by-product of pre-electoral coalition formation.🧵

1. Do we trust the UK (this government, but also the next) to come to the defence of Europe should the situation require it? If we do, there is no need to involve them in EU plans, since we already have NATO that commits the UK to protect Europe.
Globalization is changing its face... and we're asking why and how! The CfP for the conference of the Italian Political Science Association - SISP (September 4–6), is now open: sisp.it/convegno-202... @mattiaguidi.bsky.social and I welcome a wide range of contributions 👇 See you in Naples!
82 naufraghi salvati: 11 donne, 26 minori, alcuni sotto i 2 anni Porto assegnato: Ravenna, 900 miglia nautiche, 4 giorni di navigazione. Piantedosi augura buona Pasqua, e nel mentre prolunga consapevolmente la sofferenza dei naufraghi, ritardando cure e assistenza. Pasqua di ipocrisia e cinismo
Two MPs detained and deported by Israeli authorities for seeking information about Gaza is another clear sign of Israeli government weakness.
Attracting talent, offering safe spaces is good. If it goes hand in hand with extra resources for science / education. If not, these plans will create extra competition in already precarious systems. The fact is, many European countries cut on research spending. www.politico.eu/article/euro...

Which policies do citizens prefer in economic crises? 💥 Leonardo Baccini, @mattiaguidi.bsky.social and Arlo Poletti show strong support for social spending & redistribution, but with an ideological divide: right-wing voters are far less likely to back welfare for foreigners. 👇

Stamattina ho parlato a @radiopopolare.bsky.social dei tagli all'#università e delle loro conseguenze per il nostro lavoro e per chi fa ricerca (soprattutto precaria). Per questo domani partecipo allo #ScioperoGenerale. www.radiopopolare.it/puntata/?ep=...
For anyone interested in replication, this is a really amazing thread. Bravo Laura and colleagues. You have set a new standard for honesty and transparency.
A thread about being wrong: 5 years ago, we wrote a paper about how how newly enfranchised 16-year-olds vote in Austria. But we were wrong. This year, @elisabethgraf.bsky.social, @schnizzl.bsky.social, Sylvia Kritzinger and I are setting the record straight: authors.elsevier.com/c/1juT5xRaZk...

Albania’s 30 years journey to European values. From left to right: prison of Spaç, infamous site for political detention, officially closed in 1991. Prison of Gjadër, hailed as a new model in the management of human flows, officially open today to migrants deported by Italy.
Mio problema principale finora su Bluesky: sono entrato quando il grosso della bolla erano accademici, e ancora la mia bolla è troppo piena di accademici. Se anche provo a farmi suggerire post, l'algoritmo risente di questo. P.S. Non è "colpa" di Bluesky, ovviamente.
In questo momento la cosa affascinante di questo social è come le "community" si stiano pian piano ricostruendo. Un processo di contagio sociale che porta quelli della tua cerchia di là a venire di qua in quanto i legami sono trainati dalla condivisione di certi ideali/gusti.
once you become a zillionaire or whatever your only and overriding fear becomes somehow losing your money, which explains a lot about why these super-rich techy SF types fall hook-line-and-sinker for right-wing hyperinflation fearmongering
I am happy to share that my @bjpols.bsky.social paper with Elias Dinas is now OpenAccess, due to an agreement with the EUI. Using an instrumental variable approach, we find little evidence that the number of parties affects the quality of democracy. polisky www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

In recent years, Bahrain, the UAE, Morocco, and Sudan have "normalized" relations with Israel. This shift in elite discourse and state behavior, however, is at odds with popular opinion in these countries and across the region. Here are three charts underscoring this point...

Perché a #Torino i poliziotti hanno manganellato studentesse e studenti in corteo? A cosa dobbiamo questo uso così disinvolto della violenza (che, ricordiamolo, non è a discrezione di chi ha un manganello in mano)?
🇬🇧/🇺🇸 For those of you who have received invitation codes, how long after you had joined Bluesky did you get them? And how many did you get? Thanks! 🇮🇹 Mi interesserebbe sapere da chi ha ricevuto codici d’invito dopo quanto tempo che eravate su Bluesky li avete ricevuti e quanti. Grazie!

The Italian government denounces a judge from Catania who, a few days ago, set aside in a court case a recent decree, which imposed asylum seekers the payment of 5.000€ (!) to avoid being kept in detention centres. The Orbanization of Italy continues.
